What we’re about
Welcome fans of The Great British Baking Show! Our group was started in November 2020. It is for bakers who enjoy the Great British Bake Off/Baking Show and want to try to replicate some of their bakes. Each month we have a Technical Challenge with a recipe chosen from the show. We have members of all levels of experience, of all ages and from all parts of the country. Our goal is to share what worked well for us and what didn't and discuss our baking experiences and results with other like-minded bakers.
We meet virtually on Zoom on Sunday evenings at 6pm Eastern Time (5pm Central Time).
The frequency of meetings changed from 1x per week to 1x per month (July 2023).

Series 8 was the one with Liam Charles (eliminated after ep 8) and Sophie Faldo, the Series Winner.Kate Lyon, a Health and Safety Inspector from Meyerside, was the Star Baker of episode 4, Caramel bakes. We're not recreating anything from Kate's Star Baker episode where she made 18 identical Salted Bay Caramel Millionaire Shortbteads and 12 Stroopwafels.
We're going to head on over to Episode 9: Pâtisserie (semi-final) where Kate was marked as SAFE after making her Valencian Orange Choux Buns.
