The Great British Baking Show

Ever wondered what it's like to actually make the recipes from The Great British Baking Show? Here are my tips for a successful bake.

These pillowy balls of dough are filled with homemade raspberry jam. One of the trickiest things about making doughnuts is the frying time – the sugar in the enriched dough means that they brown very quickly, in turn making it tempting to remove them from the oil before they are cooked in the middle. With that in mind, make sure you fry the doughnuts for at least 2 minutes on each side.

I grew up on these – my dad used to make these in his bakery. They’re just delicious to eat – soft in the mouth, slightly chewy, and with a beautiful sweetness from the strawberries.

Laughter is the best medicine, but freshly baked bread is a close second.

Wagon Wheels consist of two plain biscuits that are sandwiched with marshmallow and coated in chocolate. This version of the classic biscuit snack contains a layer of jam, too.

A step up from the free-and-easy Double Marble Cake, the Battenberg uses colouring in a more precise way to make a pretty cake that looks impressive.

There are as many versions of this classic of French patisserie as there are cheeses! For this version, Prue has added calvados to the frangipane and put the filling in a pâte brisée shell, for its crumbly, buttery texture.

Fans of the Great British Baking show will love these 12 tent-worthy recipes, such as traditional bakewell tart, English trifle, sticky toffee pudding, hard ginger nut biscuits, and others.

These desserts are really creative.

So THAT's who eats all the cakes at the end

This nutty version of the classic bake has already got the Hollywood Handshake seal of approval and can be put together in no time at all. Liam has used bar shaped moulds here, but you could use any silicone shapes that you like.
