Win a copy of Bake Off Crème de la Crème book

Bake Off Creme de la Creme book

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!)

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!
