Back from an incredible weekend at Jamie Oliver & Alex James’s Big Feastival – WOW! Flaked on the sofa now with a Chinese take away, enjoying the luxury of dry feet and an inside loo.
Great British Bake Off
What Have I Missed?!
La Grande Britannique, erm, Bake Off!
A rainy day in the middle of France after a really busy week so it gives me a chance for a quick blog update.
Bake Off Fever!

While this week’s been a bit crazy for me, there are 12 other people it’s been a whole lot crazier for. I can’t wait for the new series of Bake Off to start this Wednesday – on your marks, get set, BAKE!
B.I.Y. On Tour
No blog from me last week as I’ve been flat out with work but I’ve got a fun few weeks ahead. Come and catch up with me in person if you get a chance!
Richard Burr, Author
So I’m officially a published author! The first copy of my book, B.I.Y. Bake It Yourself, arrived this week and it looks fantastic.
Strawberry Fields
Just a quick blog post today as I’m up to my elbows in flour at the moment testing out some new recipes.
Father’s Day? Father’s Week!
I’ve had a fantastic week this week getting to do some really cool things and ending in a great Father’s Day.
Sugar Rush
A great week ending in my daughter’s 6th birthday party. My kids’ birthday cakes are one of the main reasons I got into baking in the first place. This one was particularly sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
On Yer Bike!
When you get accepted as a contestant on the Great British Bake Off, there’s a very interesting part of the contract. It warns “you will gain weight”! I have to say that with the amount of baking I’ve done over the past 18 months, it’s inevitable that it takes its toll a bit but I’ve got quite an active week ahead to start making up for it.
