When Andrew Smyth turned the handle on his clockwork pies on Great British Bake Off in 2016, it brought together two disciplines that had never been combined before. Engineering and baking were combined in the glory of eight mechanised pies. For aerospace engineer Andrew this was just the beginning of a new career as a “bakineer”, a term he invented and has now brought to Netflix in its latest viral cooking programme Baking Impossible. In this podcast we explore how engineering influences Andrew’s work and learn that gingerbread can be designed to withstand seismic loading.
