We've gone bonkers for baking here at loveFOOD HQ. And so we present all of our 'cake and bake' content in one handy place. Enjoy!
Baking: so hot right now, it’s melted our oven gloves! With TV shows like The Great British Bake Off and events including the Cake and Bake show (win free tickets here!), it seems us Brits can't get enough of cake; or bread, or tarts, or anything else pastry based for that matter.
With that in mind, this page is your one-stop shop for all the baking content you could ever need, from recipes to histories to how tos.
