Look, I’ve never seen a single episode of The Great British Bake Off, so I’ve no idea why a TV show about amateur baking became the nation’s 15-year obsession. What I do know is that it’s not going anywhere. And, with a sixteenth series coming this autumn, there’s no better way to prepare than with a brand-new baking competition experience, Bake It!
Think of it as Bristol’s answer to GBBO. Bake It! is set to become the city’s first hands-on baking activity when it opens in July on Bedminster’s East Street. Created by sisters Kalisha and Aleena, this is your chance to not only challenge yourself, but also your mates, your partners, maybe even your mother-in-laws, to see who really is the best baker!
What to expect:
- Grab a drink from the gorgeous garden-themed bar before you start your bake.
- Each 90-minute session offers a themed bake—starting with a nod to Bristol itself and a hot air balloon cake—and a little friendly competition at the end.
- With all your ingredients supplied and pre-weighed, professional equipment, and a step-by-step recipe, there should be no frantic fanning with a sheet pan or cakes falling on the floor.
- Make sure to take full advantage of The Creation Station, filled with a variety of flavours, decorations and toppings, to create a cake that’s unique to you.
- An experienced Head Baker won’t only be on hand to guide you, but also judge your cake at the end—based on appearance, flavour and quality of the bake!
How much does it cost?
Session costs start from £45.76 per person, with a minimum booking of two people. Bake It! Bristol is currently offering a pre-launch sale before July, however, with 50% off your tickets if you book now. Just use the code TASTYTREAT at checkout.
