The Great British Baking Show ™

Kim-Joy (deep in preparation): "We've got the caramel here, and we've got the pears poaching here, and I'm making biscuits over here." 


Voice-Over: "Kim Joy won't just be baking cakes." 


Kim-Joy: "It's my little gingerbread house. I really like miniature things."


Voice-Over: "The smallest gingerbread house will sit atop crystallized ginger sponge with cream cheese frosting and salted caramel drizzle."


Kim-Joy: "Ginger's homely, and it makes you think of being at home. You can picture yourself in the house, and there's pears in the background, and they're kind of like trees."

About The Great British Baking Show ™

The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.


The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
