It's Season 9 of THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF and a dozen bakers enter the tent of triumph and trifles to compete for the ultimate conversation starter. A giant cake plate which means they are the best amateur baker in Britain. But before the glory of the cake plate can even be considered the bakers have to endure the many challenges of cake week and biscuit week. Will the brandy snaps have the right snap? Will the cakes be stodgy? Will the dreaded "tent stress" cause bakers to make foolish mistakes? And will Paul, Prue, Noel and Matt ever live down a very heart achey opener that could be considered a parody-saster? Kimberly and Katie introduce the new baker's dozen and discuss all the fruitless tries and fruitful loafs during the first two weeks of the best reality competition show of all time! So wipe off that dripping ganache, have a seat and enjoy a double slice of A DATE WITH THE BAKE!
