THE GREAT BRITISH Bake Off returned to our screens last night.
Were you ready? Or were you caught unawares?
Allow us to prepare you for next week…
1. Get the supplies in
Many, many amateurs were caught off guard last night and hadn’t ensured that they had a steady stream of cakes and biscuits to hand to keep them going during the hour long show.
Be forewarned: If you’re not well-prepared with goodies for GBBO you will end up either rummaging in the presses for a stale fig roll or eating your own fist.
Damn it. I forgot its the new #GBBO and I don't have supplies!
You don’t know where you’re going to be next Wednesday. You might be tricked into going to the pub, or you may be at a family event or a friend’s birthday. Any of these annoyances might keep you from the telly.
