There’s always room for dessert—and “The Great British Baking Show” will satisfy your sweet tooth with mouthwatering recipes and a big dollop of heart-racing competition.
Twelve contestants bake their best creations to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood (best names of all time). Even though the competitors are focused on winning, they have a friendly rapport, which is refreshing to see on a reality show. The judges’ critiques can be harsh, but they’re truthful and helpful.
To have the best experience with GBBS, follow this recipe:

Total Time: 1 hour of enjoyment

1 competition
12 amateur bakers

12 standing mixers for mixing delicious batter and frosting (YUM)
2 hilarious and personable hosts
2 very critical, yet likable judges
