One of my favourite television shows is back: The Great British Bake-off.
Not only do I love the humour of presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, but it is about one of my favourite activities - baking! Each programme talks about the history of the dishes that are the topic of competition for that week, and the judges (expert bakers) give the talented amateur competitors advice that can be helpful to average bakers like Yours Truly.
In the competition this season, we have a stay-at-home dad, an ex-rugby player (she played for the Welsh women's side). More generally, the 12 competitors appear to be evenly balanced for gender.
This week, the theme was cakes, and we saw recipes for cupcakes, Battenberg cakes, and one competitor took on the challenging Génoise cake for the "Showstopper" round (essentially, a freestyle round).
I have no real point to this post except happiness and jjoy at the thought of baking on the telly, because mmmm nice, nomnomnom.

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
