The season finale of The Great British Bake Off was the third most popular programme on television last year – outflanked only by two World Cup football matches. The final episode of this season, airing tomorrow, will in all likelihood be the most-watched show of 2015. Over the last five years, in fact, Bake Off has so thoroughly entangled itself with the consciousness of the nation that it has become easy to forget how very, very strange it is that 10 million Britons switch on their TV sets each Wednesday evening to watch a baking contest filmed in a tent in the countryside. There’s joy in being able to show your true colors, and at King Arthur, we do that through baking. 8. Young bakers make us happy!
Admittedly, not every last element of the final worked. Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas managed to weaponise the concept of whimsy to the point of human tolerance this year, which reached its peak with Fielding’s continued insistence that Mr Spoon is a thing. Mr Spoon, for the uninitiated, is a wooden spoon with a face drawn on it, and all the finalists have to kiss him, even though the idea of lots of people placing their mouths on the same object in 2020 is genuinely horrific. Warped Hamas warlords REFUSE to release youngest hostage instead handing 10-month-old Kfir Bibas to separate Palestine terror group operating in city expected to be obliterated by IDF For the technical challenge on this year’s cake week, we were promised a timeless classic that many of us would have enjoyed at some point in our lives. My first thought was of the chocolate hedgehog cake that most of us have surely blown out the candles on at some point during our childhood? Many happy childhood memories begin in the kitchen, baking and decorating birthday cakes. It’s one of the sweetest parts of childhood.” – Deanna F. Cook I choked on a carrot this afternoon and all I could think of was that a donut wouldn’t have done this to meIt felt a little like the walk of doom to the gingham altar this week with Dan describing his Devonshire splits as “…the garish A&E look”, Rowan declaring the technical challenge “…monstrous to another level” and Abbi simply placing her tray of buns down with a sigh and an “oh dear.” Break up the butter, beat the egg whites until stiff, mix the butter and icing sugar, add the icing sugar and mix the ingredients together. Then sift the flour on top and fold it in until the dough is smooth. Spoon 1.5 tsp of batter onto the pre-painted circles, smooth with a knife and bake in the oven at 180°C top/bottom heat for 5 minutes. Truly, I’ve seen people tear up with joy when handed a freshly baked version of their favorite dessert by a fellow employee-owner on a hard day. The time has finally come. Creativity now wants to be lived out professionally and you are guaranteed to be very successful. What can cake teach you about life? That practice makes perfect, and if you try something once, it probably won’t be perfect, and you have to keep working on it if you want to be good at it.”(Nicole Byer)
From delightful observations to insights that are a recipe for inspiration, here are some of the best baking quotes to lift your spirits and make you smile! This book has Cat Anderson as the nice person but even a nice person has someone whom they hate right! Cat HATEs Nate and if it's not the understatement of the century I don't know what is! These loathsome pair have hated each other from DAY 1,but when fate throws each other in the same path again with different circumstances they both make a wish that changes both of their lives FOREVER!

Don’t think that chocolate is a substitute for love! Love is a substitute for chocolate.” – Miranda Ingram Cake Week 2023’s technical challenge was a two-layer chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache (both filled and coated), topped with raspberries. Equipped with the ingredients and minimal instructions, the bakers were told that the judges expected their ganache to be neat and shiny. Some took more notice of this instruction than others. God gives us the ingredients for our daily bread, but he expects us to do the baking!” – Chip Ingram
