Who are you rooting to win, and what have your favourite recipes been so far? Our personal favourite from this seasons show has been Frances' breadsticks that were designed in the form of matchsticks - fully equipped with a match box too! It was absolutely adorable... such a fabulous idea!

Cupcakes and Cookies!

Mel & Sue

Did anybody watch The Great British Bake Off show last year, presented by the fabulous pair Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins? We certainly did, and what a fantastic show it was! I don't know about you, but I just love watching people cook (even if it's badly...), especially delicious cakes - and this programme showed some of the most gorgeous recipes live on air! So, we were thrilled to hear last month that it will be returning to our screens later this year... 

Only £3.50
