Ready, set... BAKE! 🍪🏆
Our Great British Bake Off Challenge 2026 is underway, but this year there’s a twist! Every bake counts towards the Whitesides Cup, meaning there’s more than just baking glory on the line. There are precious team points up for grabs too! 👀
With Danni the first to leave the show, Sophie was handed the first challenge: cookies.
She treated us to:
🍪 Spiced white choc chip cookies stuffed with Biscoff
AND
🍪 Gluten-free triple choc cookies stuffed with marshmallow fluff
Not a bad way to kick things off! 🤤
Sophie has well and truly thrown down the gauntlet and set the bar VERY high for the rest of the bakers!
At this rate, by the end of the competition there’ll be two winners: the Whitesides Cup champions and whoever can still fasten their trousers. 😂🏆🍪
But the big question is... who will be next to leave the tent, and which Whitesides baker will be stepping up to the challenge? 👀🎂
