Through the social media platform, the group said that the mum of one, the Duchess of Sussex chose to include this small bakery which is tucked away in East London for the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited.

This bakery has been making a substantial difference to the lives of women in the local area over the last five years and opening its arms to vulnerable women whilst providing job skills, career support, mentoring and coaching, it wrote.

“What they’ve created at Luminary Bakery is exceptional – it’s a space for baking, healing and rebuilding,” said Megan, who was quoted on the Instagram account.

“When I visited earlier this year I was struck by how the baking, itself, is a means of therapy for these women – which in many ways makes complete sense – feeling they had no control over their lives based on their previous (and often harrowing) circumstances, they found comfort in the measured nature of baking,” said The Duchess of Sussex.

“Mixing equal parts of one ingredient and another could yield the perfect dessert, but the act of doing so provided personal balance.”

“So while the baked goods are absolutely delicious, it’s the story of how the program at Luminary reshapes lives through baking that is the actual icing on the cake.”

Breaking bread 

Earlier this year, The Duchess of Sussex visited Luminary Bakery and had the opportunity to break bread with the women – literally and figuratively – whilst listening to their stories, it was explained through the Instagram account.

They shared how they’ve rebuilt their lives following their challenging life experiences, and the significant role that Luminary Bakery has played in helping with their personal restoration.

The combination of these like minded women supporting each other, both on the staff side and from the students, is proving to be the perfect recipe in creating this amazing, positive environment, the royal family Instagram account published.
