Baking doesn't have to be complicated to be showstopping

This new book is inspired by the wonderful creations from the Showstopper Challenge. Covering a wide range of bakes from large and small cakes, biscuits and cookies, sweet and savoury pastry, puddings, breads and patisserie, How to Turn Everyday Bakes into Showstoppers shows you how to create beautiful, enticing bakes to wow at every occasion.

There are dainty bakes for afternoon tea, quick bakes perfect for bake sales, school fairs or coffee with friends, mouth-watering desserts, breads and pastry recipes for lunches and dinner parties, and some really special bakes for birthdays and festive celebrations.

The book will show you how to make your bake extra special, from exciting finishes using chocolate curls and ribbons and spun sugar to simple ideas for icing, shaping and decorating, so you can bring a touch of magic to any bake. Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood reveal their foolproof recipes for their Technical Challenges and for the first time some of their own Signature Bakes. Plus this year’s talented bakers divulge some of their favourite recipes.
