She was recently commissioned to bake the Queen's 90th birthday cake.

But Nadiya Hussain didn't let the fame go to her head as she gave away some of her best baking tips at the Food Festival in Birmingham on Saturday.

The Great British Bake Off winner couldn't have looked happier as she took to the stage for the appearance, despite last weekend's brave revelations about Islamophobic abuse.

What a sweet treat! Nadiya Hussain gave away some of her best baking tips at the Food Festival in Birmingham on Saturday

The 31-year-old star admitted last Saturday that things haven't always been plain sailing for her since winning the hit show - especially in the wake of terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists.

This weekend, Nadiya recounted her experiences of racist abuse during a cover interview for The Times Magazine.

The TV personality said that not only had people push into her as a result of her Islamic faith, but they had even thrown things at her as part of the abuse.

Talking to the magazine, Nadiya said: 'After every Islamic attack I walk out of the door with a cloud over my head.

'If I'm on the train, people will sit away from me, or God forbid I've got a rucksack or a suitcase... I've been shoved waiting for a bus, had things thrown at me.'

The baker also revealed that after the Paris attacks in November, her brother faced verbal abuse.

And since she rocketed to fame last year, Nadiya has previously admitted that she has also faced online abuse about her religion and at one point even had to have a police presence at her home.

Speaking on Loose Women earlier in the year, Nadiya told the panelists: 'There was quite a lot of negativity on Twitter.

Speaking out: The 31-year-old recently admitted that she often faces Islamophobic abuse, especially following terrorist attacks

'I tried really hard not to look at it. My husband is one of those who has to read everything, so he sat there and read everything.

'You can do two things, and the old me would have very much regretted everything, and there were times when I thought, 'What have I done? Am I putting my kids in danger?' and he was always the one to just say, 'It's OK. They're such a minority and it doesn't matter'.

'And if anything, I proved to myself that I can have the confidence not to care what people think. For me, that's what came out of it all.'

But as she wowed fans with her kitchen skills once again on Sunday, Nadiya's torment seemed far from her mind and she even flashed a hint of her perfect pearly whites.

The mother-of-three looked radiant for her demonstration as she dressed in muted shades of black, taupe and cream.

She let her natural beauty do the talking as she opted for barely there makeup to show off her fresh and dewy complexion.

However, the superstar baker made sure that her eyebrows were perfectly preened for the occasion as they drew attention to her deep brown peepers with a glamorously arched shape.
