Who has been watching the new Bake Off Crème de la Crème series on BBC2?

I have been agog since the first episode and rushed out the buy the Crème de la Crème book* – that’s my copy above. And just for fun I thought I’d give away another copy to one of my readers. This isn’t a brand or publisher sponsored giveaway, I will be sending the winner a copy direct from Amazon*.

Here are a few of the beautiful recipes you can make, inspired by the series (and don’t panic, it’s a slightly cuddlier home cook’s version than the carved birds and sugarcraft towers we’ve seen on TV!)

Framboises

The series has divided opinion. Some viewers have been REALLY upset that there’s no Paul and Mary and that it’s not in a tent. “It’s not the Bake Off!” they cry, “The judges are SO rude!” (and yes one made a participant cry but she did give her a hug immediately afterwards).

We had a quite a chat about it on the Maison Cupcake Facebook page and I’ve embedded the post above if you’d like to read.

If you don’t have a clue what you’re missing, here’s the BBC trailer. There are still several weeks of the show to run so you can pick it up half way through. I really hope there will be a second series!

I haven’t caught all of this but after an episode did Google to try and find the recipe for, without luck (and I’m sorry I can’t remember the name) amazing little dome cakes with layers of mouselline and citrus jam/jelly.

I think the show is great! Its so inspiring and it has really opened my eyes to the fact that there is more out there in the pastry world than just croissants – although they are super delicious. I am also in awe of all the intricate show pieces they make, those chocolate cabinets on tuesday were really something!
