My father, Richard, was a well-respected consultant physician and brilliant teacher and writer. He first described and named Munchausen's syndrome, and numbered Oliver Sacks, Jonathan Miller and Roger Bannister among his students. I adored him and grew up listening to fascinating descriptions of his patients and their illnesses around the dinner table. My favourite bedtime reading was Tales from the London hospital, a grisly collection that included the extraordinary story of the "Elephant Man". At my insistence, my father took me to see Joseph Merrick's skeleton in the hospital museum. Hospitals, strangely, give me a little frisson of positive excitement. It is probably because, as children, every Christmas morning we would go with my father to Central Middlesex hospital, where he worked, and visit each ward, where we would be encouraged to take presents off the tree. When we reached his own ward, he would put on a white chef's hat and carve a giant turkey to distribute to the patients, while the nurses sang carols.

If you fail at an audition, it's ghastly at the age of eight, and if you get the audition, it's not healthy to be told you're better than all the other children. So it's a strange life. I've no doubt got pockets of insecurity from that time and being away from home. You question it. But, I loved it as a child it's so addictive. ' Baking was a hobby that grew into a business when the children were small and is now a successful shop, Jane Asher Party Cakes, in London's Chelsea Green, where you can commission any creation you care to dream up for your birthday party, wedding or civil celebration ('with my showbiz connections, we were doing those before anyone else'). Beside this are the deals with supermarkets, and a Sugarcraft business providing all the essentials of baking (Nigella Lawson is a fan and long-time friend). Currently filming an ITV drama in Lithuania (she would not recommend the country for its cuisine), and with a film out on November 2 (Death At A Funeral, directed by Frank Oz, of The Muppets fame), Jane is busy.
In spite of my best efforts, Katie is now an actress and, of course, I am immensely proud of her. Jane Asher stars in Eve on CBBC, Mondays at 5. 30pm

An orchestral player for much of her life, she turned to teaching once she had my brother, sister and me, and we would often arrive home from school to the sound of Bach, Handel or badly played scales. She loved us all unconditionally and was full of praise – together with my father's more realistically critical views, they were the perfect combination. My mother was a good basic cook. But cake-decorating wasn't her strong point and that, coupled with my showbiz instinct for making a big effect, was what led to my taking over the family celebration cakes and making them ever more personal and ornate. But if you'd have told me that, decades later, I would be writing books about them and running a small business, I'd never have believed it. I was terribly homesick as a young actress. It was hard being away from home, and it is a such a cruel and precarious profession, in which humiliation and disappointment are inevitable. It is a very unnatural existence for a child. My husband Gerald [Scarfe, the cartoonist and illustrator] and I had plenty of tempting offers for our own children – I remember in particular when our oldest, Katie, was offered the part of my daughter in A Voyage Round my Father in 1984 – but we kept them well away from show business until they were old enough to know their own minds, heavily influenced by my dire warnings.
Today, she's promoting her new book, Beautiful Baking ('genuine homebaking, not the sort of decorated cake that I'm known for'), and judging the Home Baker of the Year 2007 competition. I hang around for the results, and see Linda Edmonds of Brentwood, Essex, win for her Tipsy Blackberry and Apple cupcakes (being held in picture). Jane is, it is clear, the consummate professional, posing with each finalist, talking to the organisers, her tiny figure commanding the room. After this, she needs to get going on her fourth novel. It's hard to imagine her taking a break, but it's clear she has a sense of fun. Earlier, she was asked if she'd been dieting to prepare for this morning of gluttony. 'No. There's always room for cake, ' she laughs.

Jane, married for more than three decades to the political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, with whom she has three grown-up children, has been causing a stir in the public eye since she was five years old, when she appeared in her first film, Mandy. By the age of 17, she was on the panel for Juke Box Jury, which is allegedly how she met Paul McCartney, the pop star on the rise with The Beatles, with whom she went out for five years (she never talks about this period of her life). During and since, she kept a hold on her acting career, the job she still regards as her number one. It's a funny one, however: for all her 'normalcy' (she's talked in the past about fighting mess at home, socks in the fruitbowl and so on, plus, of course, all that endless baking with the Archers omnibus on in the background), she was a child star and really famous in the 1960s, when all the men were in love with her all long legs, red hair and porcelain skin. 'I wouldn't have wanted my children to go into acting, and, although I've been lucky enough to have had a very good career out of it, and I've enjoyed it, it's a strange one.
