The GBBS Challenge - also known as The Great British Baking Show Challenge.

What is the Challenge?

Starting from Season 1 Episode 1 (original season that aired in 2010) I will bake each episode every other weekend. Meaning, I will be baking the signature bake, the technical challenge, and then the showstopper over a two day period. Plus, it will be timed, just like in the show.

How did I decide to do this Challenge?

There have been a few things I have been wanting to try from The Great British Baking Show and so, why not try everything? Then, I thought, why not write about my experience. Fun for me and entertainment for you. 

Why do this Challenge?

I absolutely love baking and sometimes it is hard to come up with different things to bake; but, it is also hard to take on a bake that is stressful and/or intense. So, I decided that I might as well force myself to do multiple bakes out of my comfort zone and this show pushes each of these homes bakers to bake out of their comfort zone as well.

So, it was obvious. 

I want to test out these recipes and see if it is actually possible for normal home bakers to bake them.

I also want to encourage everyone that you can take on any challenge you want to.

I also want to show you that a 4 hours bake shouldn't scare you and I want to show you that if I can do it, you can do it too. However, I am going to make it a little more exciting for you and me by sticking to all the rules the shows gives.

Rules:

1. Bake all three challenges in the allocated time that has been given to the GBBS bakers. (I will not be practicing my bakes before hand, I don't know if my office would want to eat all that cake).

2. Follow the rules the GBBS bakers have been given. 

3. Bake the episodes in order, starting with original season 1 episode 1 without skipping bakes. (Exception, when I can't access the episodes).

4. Have fun and also entertain you!
