Isabella said she thought buttercream cupcakes with fresh strawberry on top would be the best suited to the Wimbledon theme but also heard that tennis star Johanna Konta had baked white chocolate and raspberry ones for her coach,
“I sent my intern to Sainsbury’s to get me raspberries,” she said.
Isabella said she was pleased be called about cupcakes as opposed to the rail strikes, which she has been interviewed about a number of times at the railway station store.
“This was a really nice change,” she said.
The result will be on BBC South East Today this evening (July 12) at 6.30pm.
