Henry's 21st birthday mystery

Henry's 21st birthday mystery

Author: Bake With A Legend January 4, 2021 Duration: 50:23

Happy New Year! Just when you thought it was over for us until Summer 2021, it wasn't... as Bake Off was back with two special episodes over Christmas and New Year. Josh, Howard and Jane couldn't let the episodes pass without comment, so got together to reflect on the second special episode which aired in the UK on Sunday 3rd January 2021.


It saw a return to the tent for Helena, Rahul, Henry and Nancy and despite none of the quad being strangers to the tent, nerves were clearly there as they sought to impress once more making crumble, Bao buns and a showstopper to celebrate their 21st birthdays. You'll hear what the trio thought about the episode and a bizarre anecdote from Howard about Rahul that we can't quite believe we've never heard before.
