A new baking school and experience inspired by hit TV show The Great British Bake Off has opened in Leeds.

Called ‘Ready Steady Bake It’; here guests take part in a 90 minute themed bake-off experience where they are pitted head to head against one another bake-off challenges which change every month.

July’s bake-off challenge is a black forest gateau: an iconic rich chocolatey, fresh cream and cherry jam cake.

To master this iconic bake in 90 minutes, you’ll need to keep a cool head to bake your sponges, cool them, get on with the jam and finally whip up some fresh cream and decorate it.

At the end of the session, your creations will then be judged by a head chef to give you that authentic Bake Off challenge feeling as you wait to see if they’ll call it a masterpiece or a big old mess.

Best booked in pairs, the Ready, Steady, Bake judge will also be on hand to offer baking tips and encouragement throughout the baking session as you run up against the clock.

The Bake Off experiences are carefully designed to last 90 minutes, and you’ll get all the equipment and ingredients you’ll need provided at Ready, Steady, Bake. There’s even a team to do the washing up for you.

Multiple stations spaced two metres apart from one another mean you’ll be well distanced from other participants, or alternatively, you can book a private session if you prefer.

“The baking events are inspired by Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off and are designed to give thrill-seekers a taste of the show, working against the clock to complete a challenge,” said a spokesperson for the new experience.

“Each session will also have a Head Chef host, who will be on hand for the all-important judging, but will also be there to share tips and help bakers if they needed it.”

Priced at £80 for two, to find out more and book a session head over to Ready, Steady, Bake’s website here.
