Us Brits love to bake. And over the next eight weeks, we will follow 12 of the UK's keenest cooks as they compete to be crowned Best Amateur Baker. Each week, our contestants – young, old and from every corner of the country – will mix and bake their way through progressively tougher challenges. They will be under the eye of our presenters Mel and Sue, and our judges - renowned cookery writer and baker, Mary Berry and Master Baker Paul Hollywood. The experts will inspect, prod and sample the baked goodies as they decide who gets to have their cake – and eat it.
