Whenever The Great British Bake Off returns
to our screens, it gets us all excited about perfecting our pastries and
encourages us to try out a new cake recipe. And what better an occasion
to celebrate dusting off the apron and wooden spoons than The Cake and Bake
Show! The UK's first consumer baking exhibition will take place this weekend at Earls Court. Whether you need to stock up on bowls and whisks and want tips on
perfecting your sponges, or if you are more of a taster than a baker, the event
provides everything required for that perfect bake.
Take a stroll down to The Marketplace where you can try and buy some freshly
baked cakes and breads from some of the country's leading bakers. Then
head over to the Supplier Zone to pick up some tools of the trade, demonstrated
by the exhibitors themselves. When you are ready to get your hands dirty,
The Classroom will be ready with classes on soda bread, sugarcraft, gluten-free
baking and (the bakers nemesis) macaroons, to name but a few.
Some well known names and faces of the baking industry will be showing off
their skills in The Cake Kitchen and The Bakery. Paul Hollywood will be
revealing his secrets of the perfect loaf, Juliet Sear of Fancy Nancy cakes
will be showing off her cake decorating skills and Great British Bake Off
winners Jo Wheatley and Edd Kimber will be showcasing us why they were such
deserved champions.
All the baking can get quite exhausting after a while, so you may wish to head
over to The Tea Room Garden and enjoy a relaxing cuppa. And if you
haven't already eaten too much by that point, they will be serving a wide
selection of cakes, scones and sandwiches, all in aid of Macmillan Cancer
Support. Well, since it's for a good cause...
If you can't wait that long to sample the baking goodies, then why not try this
recipe for Perfect Whipped Buttercream Cupcakes by speaker Juliet Sear to get
you in the mood...
