Reality

In this installment of our Great British Baking Show recaps, we follow our ten bold bakers as they attempt to “prove” their mastery of the bread making arts.

Bread week means Paul Hollywood is in the driver's seat, an intimidating dilemma to be sure. From chocolate bread and savoury plaited centerpieces to a mysterious German bun that no one ever heard of, our group knead their hearts out in pursuit of the Star Baker title! 

Welcome back to another tasty The Great British Baking Show recap!

It was crunch time for our eleven bakers as they returned to the tent to test their biscuit-based skills which include whimsical iced biscuits, Viennese whirls and a 3-D gingerbread story.

The Great British Baking Show is back and we begin as always with twelve talented new bakers and a trio of delicious cake challenges!  

And in case you didn't know, this is also the last season to feature the original cast of Sue Perkins, Mel Giedroyc, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, so treasure the moments while you can. Ready, set, bake!!!

Get ready, America - another season of The Great British Baking Show is almost here. Yes, our favorite gentle, civilized, oh-so-British culinary reality show is back! If you’re anything like me, you too have been missing the bakers’ tent, Mel and Sue’s puns, and mentions of the dreaded “soggy bottom”.

So what do you need to know about season four of The Great British Baking Show?  I’m happy you asked. Below I will attempt to answer your burning (but not overbaked) questions.

Housed in a historically recreated East London tenement, modern day Brits attempt to survive the harsh living and working conditions of the Victorian Slum House without a safety net.

Why would they volunteer for such an undertaking? To experience the challenges their ancestors endured during the Victorian period. Each episode highlights the social issues and harsh economic realities of a distinct decade beginning in 1860 and ending with 1900.

Attention, Great British Bake-Off fans! If you’re like me you have been apprehensive about who will take the place of our beloved baking show gals, Mary Berry, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc. You may even have sworn off the show all together for pulling up stakes at the BBC and going to the highest bidder, Channel 4. Well, this afternoon the show's officials finally announced their relaunch line-up. The new presenters have been revealed to be Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding! Read on to find out more about these new additions to the Bake Off roster and why they may not be as ill-suited as you might think.

Which of the three finalists will ace the Great British Baking Show's Signature challenge — filled iced buns; conquer the Technical — pastry they’ve all struggled with; and master the Showstopper — a classic British cake in a multi-layered presentation?

Follow the semi-finalists as they come to grips with chocolate, a temperamental ingredient, on this week's episode of The Great British Baking Show. The signature task is chocolate tart, followed by chocolate soufflé in the technical challenge. For the showstopper, the bakers create chocolate centerpieces.

Five remaining bakers work their way through patisserie in this week's The Great British Baking Show. In the signature, they’re challenged to make cream horns. Then Mary sets a fiddly technical task: mokatines. The showstopper is a test of time and gravity: religieuse à l’ancienne.
