Author: Bake With A Legend November 25, 2021 Duration: 1:01:33

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 carrot cakes, Belgian buns and a mad hatters tea party for a final that was too close to call until the end. We've loved doing the podcast for this year and we'll aim to be back for the festive specials.


We’re so sad that Bake Off is over for another year, but to celebrate we’re holding a free webinar with Howard Middleton this Sunday 28th November at 3.30pm UK (10.30am ET), 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.
