TV Tuesday: GBBO

It's no secret that The Great British Bake Off has taken the UK, and the world, by storm. And I am not an exception. I am obsessed. I am in love. It is my favourite show of the whole year, bar Downton Abbey which is equally as fabulous, and I simply cannot get enough of it.

The opening show of this series raked in over 7 million viewers. 7 MILLION. Can you believe it?!? 7 million people all sitting down in their homes with a mug of tea just to watch a baking competition. As some of you might know I am a great lover of baking and decorating. For heavens sake I wouldn't be the President of my university's cake decorating society if I didn't.

But it isn't just any baking competition. It is the creme de la creme of cakes, biscuits, bread. It is the the showcase of British baking talent. And we as the nation are consumed.
Baking is not just a different form of cooking. It requires skill and knowledge and a desperate love of all things flour, egg and butter related. A fine craft that is the definition of edible art. I mean did you see Richard's biscuit creation. That wouldn't have looked out of place at the Tate or the Met.

So let's just say this. I will be tuning in tomorrow at 8pm BBC One. I will have a cup of tea and a few biscuits. And I will love every minute of it.


This weeks fashion friday will be going up on Saturday, as well as my usual saturday post, as I am going to be at my Aunts and she is not so au fait with the internet.
