Ooh this looks like quite a treat for a special occasion. My grandson used to love The Great British Bake-Off and I sometimes had fun watching it with him but was mildly sad as there was never anything I could eat.

These days he’s more into Japanese anime, though he still loves to bake when he comes over to my house!
