Since Leaving the Competition
Gerald has, in his own words, been up to “Oh, you know, all sorts of things, this and that, can’t keep it straight.”
John is still teaching his sons to bake; one of them is enjoying it. One of them isn’t.
Audrey has left her job at Shropshire’s second largest regional newspaper and is now pursuing other projects.
Jim is still making buns for the lads on his building site…but now they’ve stopped laughing at him about it.
Linda took six weeks off baking after filming, but is back on the horse now. She still avoids macarons, though.
Reggie has started a course in molecular gastronomy, and if it goes well, he hopes to see us on Bake Expectations: The Professionals.
Joshua has gone back to university, where his cupcakes are in extremely high demand, especially from his girlfriend.
Alanis has now finished her GCSEs. Between choosing her A-levels and cooking with her grandmother every Sunday, she’s also writing a column for BBC Food. She says her schedule is “pretty intense.”
Doris has sent us a postcard from St. Moritz. She is having a lovely time.
Meera has been inundated with requests for her cakes that don’t look like cakes. So many, in fact, that a book of them will be out next year.
