BEST CAKE WINS US SHOWSTOPPERS

The popularity of Bake Off has led to all sorts of imitators, with amateurs at work in different mediums from pottery to jewellery, interior design to woodwork (Britain’s Best Woodworker, Wednesday, 8pm, Ch4). But this is one of a large number of shows in which cake takes centre stage (see also Amazing Christmas Cakes And Bakes on My5 and Is It Cake? on

Netflix). This

US show focuses on the showstoppers as bakers attempt to wow with birthday cakes that look too good to eat, but still get eaten. Kids create outlandish creations on paper – think peacocks, dinosaurs, lots of popping candy – that two bakers bake into reality. A selection of episodes are available to give you a taste and it’s great to watch with children, so long as they don’t get big ideas about your own baking

ability.
