Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Sfogliatelle
This week’s Great British Bake Off episode was the first ever Italian Week. As the pressure rose, so did the temperature as it was the hottest ever day in the bake off tent! Whilst everyone was trying to cool themselves using fridge doors, fans, sticking their heads in the freezer and fantasising about laying in […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Decorative Chicken & Mushroom Pie
Pastry week in the Great British Bake Off tent was another tense one! For the signature bake; we saw the bakers challenged to make an assortment of decorative pies with a common theme so they all linked together in some way! Then they were challenged, in the technical round, to make Portuguese custard tarts which […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Millionaires Cookies
This post is much later than planned because I had such a busy week last week with cake orders, work and generally playing catch up!! But I finally developed a little GBBO Caramel Week recipe for these super easy Millionaires Cookies! I’ve made Millionaires Shortbread before and I have to say they are a bit […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Tear ‘n’ Share Bread
The latest episode of The Great British Bake Of was Bread Week, the signature bake was teacakes, a tricky bake due to the high fat content. A lot of the bakers teacakes were bland in flavour, under baked, under proved or over proved (according to the judges) so it seemed that none of the contestants […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Apple Crumble Cake
So week one of the new series of The Great British Bake Off has been and gone! Though a lot of people were skeptical about it moving to Channel 4 with new hosts and Judges (apart from Paul Hollywood!) I still decided to give it a chance…and I love it!! Episode one kicked off with […]
Book Review: Candice Brown – Comfort
I was so excited to get my hands on the first book from the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016; Candice Brown. It’s been far too long since GBBO finished and I really miss joining in with the bake along on Twitter (sad face). I know this book will inspire me to create […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Chocolate Drip Cake
It’s been a week since the final of The Great British Bake Off. I must admit, I’m rather sad that it won’t be on this evening :o( Though the BBC have confirmed that there will be a couple of Christmas Specials returning to our TV’s later in the year!! So what did the final episode […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Sweet & Savoury Palmiers
The Semi-Finals saw the remaining 4 bakers challenged to making puff pastry palmiers for the signature bake, fondant fancies for the technical and a savarin for the showstopper for Patisserie Week. They used a beautiful Nordicware Fleur de Lis bundt pan to bake the savarin in so they turned out beautifully shaped and decorated with […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Tudor Jumbles
Week 8 of the Great British Bake Off was Tudor week; another new theme with even more challenging bakes!! The 5 remaining bakers were challenged to make game pies for the signature bake, Tudor jumbles for the technical (and I found in incredibly painful to watch the bakers trying to plait and knot their jumble […]
Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Chocolate Roulade
One of my favourite episodes of Great British Bake Off involved the bakers making some delicious looking delights for dessert week! They were challenged to make a roulade for the signature bake where we witnessed many delicious sounding flavours such as piña colada, yum! The technical was a very complicated looking marjolaine and the showstopper; […]
