Several #SBS winners attended the launch including Liz Allen who is founder of The Cake Crusader. Theo commissioned Liz to design a birthday cake for the founder of auction website, ValueMyStuff and Dragons’ Den entrepreneur, Patrick van der Vorst. The cake resembled an ipad and carried a tweet message from Theo.
