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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

Week two of the Great British Bake off was Biscuit week! I love biscuits, so was really looking forward to seeing what the bakers were going to rustle up for the three challenges! For the signature; they made chocolate covered biscuit bars. This was very challenging for some of the bakers, especially when there were […]
