Handshake Central

Author: Bake With A Legend November 17, 2021 Duration: 1:00:09

WHAT. AN. EPISODE. If you're after brilliant baking, handshakes everywhere you look and drama until the final moments - then you simply couldn't have asked for more than what was served up in the tent for a memorable semi-final.


As always the founder of Bake With A Legend Josh Landy was joined by Bake Off legends Howard Middleton, Jane Beedle and Dan Beasley Harling to reflect on how our remaining bakers fared and ultimately in an episode worthy of a final, it was almost unfair that anyone had to leave.


We’re sad that Bake Off is coming to an end for another year, but to celebrate we’re going to be holding a free webinar with Howard Middleton on Sunday 28th November at 3.30pm UK, where Howard is going to teach you how to make his delicious Victoria Sponge in a short hour class that’ll give you a flavour of what to expect in a full online class with us. We’ll no doubt be reflecting on the 2021 Bake Off Series too. Sign up here to take part.
