About Me

Hello! My name is Deb Lieu and I'm a self-taught baker and freelance photographer -born and raised in Melbourne, Australia.  I’m obsessed with creative possibilities and bringing imaginative new ideas to life.  I'm also an obsessive baker, I love knitting, arts & crafts, and other Do-It-Yourself projects. Throughout the years my love of crafts and baking served as a tactile creative outlet and I'm now lucky enough to be able to create for a living.

 

Deb Lieu Bakes was initially born from, and continually inspired by my love of craft beer. I initially started making beer inspired desserts and treats to share with friends and favourite brewers in Melbourne. From there its taken off and continues to grow each year and has given me opportunities to work with the craft beer industry, weddings, tourism industry, cafes & restaurants, corporate gifting, kids parties and so much more.

I reached two small milestones in 2018 having had my first ever craft market stall at Moon Dog Brewery and cookies sold at G.A.B.S Festival. In 2019 I became a 'Beer Nut' and was also nominated to ring the GABS Festival opening Bell - what an honour! In 2021 I co-hosted my first Good Beer Week even with Kaiju! Beer teaching guests how to make their own royal icing cookies. I am excited to see what's to come.
