Helena, a contestant on Great British Bake Off in 2019 who then flew up the bestsellers charts in 2020 with her book The Wicked Baker, swooped by the Harrogate Café Tea Rooms to admire their spooky Halloween window display - as well as topping up on some tasty ghoulish treats.

In keeping with the theme, Helena brought a copy of her brand new book The Witch-Crafting Handbook.

Published by Hardie Grant Books books, The Witch-Crafting Handbook features handy tips for more than 70 fun projects for stylish 'witches' to make at home, from remedies for your apothecary using foraged ingredients, fashion accessories for your witch's wardrobe; enchanting homewares and decorations, devilishly delicious recipes and tipsy tonics.

Among Bettys' extensive range of terrifyingly tasty delights for Halloween and spooky nights include the following:

Halloween Chocolate Cake
