Wouldn’t you? You don’t know how much % she earned but why would she say no? Everyone’s trying to make a living, good for her! Exploit the opportunities. The fans likes it, that’s who it was for, she wasn’t exploiting them, they asked for it Young girls doing GCSE food tech with basic skill and ingredients. She never pretended to be a pastry chef. How is it money grabbing?
I mean, the blurb for the book says she's sharing her "passion for baking." Girlfriend can't even bake Blondies, basic baking as basic comes, without looking like she's an alien who's never seen baking utensils. It WAS a money grab. She has no more "passion for baking" than I do for learning dead languages.
I would personally not do a random, ghost written, ghost produced probably too, book about something I have a vague interest in, and even vaguer knowledge on, just to make money but that's why I have a real job and I'm not an influencer
