⭐⭐⭐ | The Great British Bake Off Let’s face it. We’d all be happier if The Great British Bake Off aired all-year round! *Contains spoilers for the first episode of The Great British Bake Off 2022*
– GBBO has remained in place, providing people at home with some comforting evening viewing. The first episode of the new series dove straight into the deep end with a challenging Cake Week, while introducing viewers to aIn the typical camp fashion of the series, the first intro saw judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith join presenters Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas to dress up as iconic characters from Star Wars, with Noel donning Princess Leia’s signature two-bunned hairdo .
It set the tone for an episode that, while pretty much void of any drama, did still manage to put a smile on our faces.Beginning with a Signature where the bakers had to create 12 identical mini sandwich cakes, they then had to take on the challenge of baking a beautifully-frosted red velvet cake for the Technical. Last, but certainly not least, the Showstopper saw the contestants create baked versions of homes that they’ve had an emotional connection to in their lives, ranging from quaint cottages to towering flat blocks. While last year, bakers such as Jürgen and Giuseppe were quickly named top contenders to win the coveted title, after one episode of the 2022 series of Bake Off, there don’t appear to be any frontrunners… yet.

Some of our favourite bakers in past series have taken a few weeks to get into the groove, so we’re definitely looking forward to being surprised by these culinary experts’ hidden skills. Episode one wasn’t completely uneventful, what with Abdul not realising his oven wasn’t hot for 40 minutes before almost dropping his cake on the floor, and Syabira tearing up with happiness over winning the Technical.

Meanwhile, Janusz served up a stunning floral feat for his Showstopper, with Maisam and Maxy among those who wowed the judges with their flavours.
