World Baking Day – the best thing since sliced bread...


Tuesday May 17th marks World Baking Day. Our mouths are watering already...

It does seem that baking has never been so popular – and much of that is down to the nation’s unifying love of The Great British Bake Off. Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry must single-handedly be responsible for thousands of us daring to believe we can create a masterpiece in our kitchens on a Wednesday night.  (Don’t worry those of you with withdrawal symptoms – hopefully the next series will be back on our screens in August!)

There’s not many children who don’t jump at the chance to get their hands dirty in the kitchen, whipping up a batch of muffins or cookies (and the eating of them is usually pretty popular too). 

At Hunters we stock a range of baking ingredients, from the basics such as flour, marzipan and dried fruit to more specialist baking ingredients such as vanilla bean paste and peppermint extract.

There is edible glitter and sand in every colour you could want from pink to black, which  always sells well and is great fun. It includes everything you need to decorate the most beautiful cupcakes, sponges or biscuits.

So no matter whether you’re a worthy contestant for next year’s Bake Off, or you’re more likely to whip up a banana loaf than a four tiered pavlova, why not get creative this World Baking Day? Rope in some family or friends to help and make it a social occasion! There’s thousands of recipes out there for every level of talent, so there’s no excuse not to try...
