Desserts Are A Trifle Tricky

Desserts Are A Trifle Tricky

Author: Bake With A Legend March 15, 2023 Duration: 55:24

It’s dessert week in the tent and Paul and Mary have set some custard-tastic challenges for the bakers this week: a trifle signature, a floating island technical and a petit four showstopper. Join Dan, Howard, Jane and Sarah for another series 4 throwback episode as they discuss the infamous Custardgate ‘scandal’ and find out where Mary Berry likes to spin her sugar. 


The big news once again from Bake With A Legend is that not only are we still having great fun hosting regular online baking classes every weekend, but this year we are going to be baking along with season 4 and teaching a virtual class of either the signature, the technical or even the showstopper challenge EVERY SUNDAY at 5pm UK from 5th March to 7th May.

Ever find yourself rewatching scenes from the latest Bake Off, wishing you could dissect the technical challenge with someone who’s actually been there? That’s the feeling The Bake Down-Bake Off Reviewed captures each week. Host Sarah Taylor doesn’t just recap the episode; she’s joined by former tent veterans Howard Middleton, Dan Beasley-Harling, and Jane Beedle, all alumni of the show.

This podcast, brought to you by Bake With A Legend, feels like eavesdropping on a warm, insightful, and often very funny conversation between friends who truly get it.
