In celebration of the GBBO and all things yummy, we got our bake on and *attempted* to make the prettiest cake you ever did see: a naked cake! The naked cake is not as saucy as it sounds, but it is damn-right delectable. Not for the faint-hearted, this bad boy will have you so proud of your accomplishments post-bake, you’ll practically be filling out your entrance form for 2017’s series. Let’s get to it!

Oh GBBO, how your weekly presence delights us! This week was all about desserts and it was certainly a jammy one. Ian become star baker for the third week in a row and Sandy wobbled her way out of the tent with her two tier cheesecake disaster. We watched eagled-eyed at Sass & Belle HQ took notes and prepared for our own bakes. Note one, turn oven on (cough…Sandy). This week Victoria our Content Editor showed us how to make Blueberry soured cream cake with cheesecake frosting.

Welcome to the first Sass & belle does Great British Bake Off! We love to bake and more importantly we love to eat cake. We’ve been thoroughly enjoying the series so far, but let’s be honest, you haven’t seen baking until you’ve seen Sass & Belle bake. Did you catch the GBBO biscuit episode last night? We don’t want to give away any spoilers, but we really liked Floral’s biscotti. Inspired by yesterday’s episode, we decided to share with you one of our favourite classic biscuit recipes. Aiko talks us through her delightful gingerbread biscuits. Do you think she’s got what it takes to be a star baker? (We sampled her yummy treats and we’d say she definitely does!)

Bakers and cake-lovers across the UK, rejoice! The Great British Bake Off is back and it didn’t disappoint. Hollywood and Berry (is that the best duo-name ever or what?) are on our screens again for two whole months and they’ve brought with them a variety of great bakers. We couldn’t be more chuffed. Here’s what we thought of the opening episode of series six. On your marks, get set, BAKE! (Includes spoilers).
