GBBO Bake Along 2020 – Coconut Macaroons
Week two of The Great British Bake Off was Biscuit Week! We saw the baker’s challenged to create Florentines for the Signature round, Coconut Macaroons for the Technical Bake and a 3D biscuit sculpture of a dinner setting, for the showstopper! It was an easy decision, to choose what I would bake, for this weeks […]
GBBO Bake Along 2020 – Autumnal Battenberg Cake
Bake off is back! It’s certainly what 2020 needs and I’m soooooo happy! We have both the usual judges; Paul and Prue, along with Noel returning as a host, along a new second host; Matt Lucas! The first week was Cake Week – where we saw the bakers challenged to create a Battenberg for the […]
The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 9 – Patisserie Week
It seems like GBBO has flown past this year, the last few episodes seem to feel shorter and shorter (maybe because there are less bakers?). Though previous episodes have seen the bakers face some real challenges, patisserie week seems like the most difficult so far! With the presentation being the key element with bakes of […]
The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 8 – Pastry Week
Pastry week on The Great British Bake Off saw some really challenging bakes! I love pastry, whether it is in the form of a pie, sweet treats such as croissants and pain au chocolat or a delicious choux filled with cream and topped with chocolate sauce. For the signature round, the bakers made savoury Tarte […]

The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 7 – Festival Week
A week has almost passed since Festival Week on The Great British Bake Off! We saw the bakers challenged with some really tricky bakes as well as something more traditional.

The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 6 – Desserts
After everyone recovered from the week 5 double elimination of Helena and Michelle, we went into Dessert week feeling a bit more positive with the promise of seeing the bakers create some delectable delights! For the signature, they made layered meringue cakes! Meringue layered with lashings of whipped cream and fresh fruit is my idea […]
The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 5 – The Roaring Twenties
Well….week 5 of the Bake Off was a pretty controversial episode! But more about that after little re-cap of this weeks challenges! For the Signature bake; we saw the contestants create an array of decorated custard pies! I loved Davids Flapper Girl tarts, so neat and creative! Helena created hers in her signature spooky style […]
The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 4 – Dairy
Week four of The Great British Bake off was the first ever Dairy Week! I was intrigued by what they might create, thinking along the lines of cheesecakes or maybe going down a more savoury route with something involving cheese or a quiche! There wasn’t a cheesecake in sight though (which was slightly disappointing). We […]
The Great British Bake Off Bake Along 2019: Week 3 – Bread
Week three of The Great British Bake Off was bread week. We saw the bakers make a tear a share loaf with a flavour and filling for the signature bake; there were some delicious sounding flavours and some with cheese! (You can never go wrong with a bread and cheese combo!) For the Technical Challenge, […]
