So I’ve been watching The Great British Bake Off and I’ve realised several things:

– As a relatively inexperienced baker I’ve most likely been really lucky because I’ve had very few failures. My meringues whip up easily into peaks, my breads always rise, I’ve never burnt my caramel, I didn’t even know you could fuck up caramel. I had no idea you could get so many things wrong.

– I knew baking was very scientific but I’ve learnt so much more about it while watching this show.

– I’m most likely gaining weight just watching all this cake and icing and puff pastry.

– I’m dying for a pork pie. I’ve never had one but they made some on the show and now I’m obsessed.
