I am totally in love with everything Great British Bake Off. Mel and Sue are obviously the best bit (I wish they were my best friends!) but I also can’t get enough of the calming effect of watching others bake. Tuesday evenings are something special these days.
Unfortunately, I have never learnt how to bake, and if I’m honest, I don’t have much desire to learn, but I really adore kitchenalia. The GBBO set is so aesthetically pleasing, which is probably another reason I love the show. Therefore, I have put together some of my favourite baking accessories – perhaps this could be enough to inspire me to get baking…
