Each year, the birthday cakes became more elaborate, and soon friends started asking her to make cakes for them, too. Born in southern Italy, where she inherited a deep passion for food, Giovanna obtained a Diplôme de Pâtisseri from Le Cordon Bleu, and then honed her skills at the Ritz Hotel. In 2011, Giovanna set up her own London-based catering company, Dolce di Gio.
