It’s definitely a cult, with cake, the best cult ever. The Great British Bake Off has returned to our screens, motivating failed cookery attempts, nerving us at signs of a bad bake and making us giggle over bizarre sexual cookery innuendos.
Here’s eight signs you’re probably part of this cult:
You are the third presenter. READY…STEADY…BAKE! You got that shit on lock down. Right on cue you’re saying those words, you, Mel and Sue are practically a trio and they don’t even know it. You laugh at all their jokes and you know they’d laugh at yours too.
For the next few weeks the most horrific site you will see is uneven cake layers. The cake is cut and the fillings are all over the place, is this baker trying to emotionally damage Mary Berry? Unbelievable sin. Get out of the tent.
You know the names of all the bakers. You gain emotional attachments to the bakers, it’s a real thing. I really think *insert name of serial-star-baker* has got this in the bag. PAHAH *insert funny but hopeless baker* really messed up that pastry. My gosh how is *insert slightly boring baker* still here. And of course that baker who you have a little soft spot for, they’re clumsy but you will relentlessly cheer when they make anything half good.
