I would bring my best friend – she and I love to bake together and it’d be such a treat for her to get to spend some girl time together!
I’d take my partner because he likes cake more than I do!
My boyfriend and I have recently really got into baking and started buying proper baking equipment rather than baking once in a while as we have in the past. This would be great so we could learn how to get better rather than the trial and error method at the moment.
My Mum as she loves baking as much as me
I’d take my friend as she makes lovely cakes but would love some more inspiration
I would take my son, it might make him start baking!
I’d take my Mum-cause she’s brill.
I would love to go with my daughter who has just discovered baking and would love to see Paul Hollywood!
I would like to take my other half in the vain hope that he might be encouraged to join me in baking!
I’d go with my hubby. He’s been ill and has to be pushed around in a wheelchair at present – it would be a good day out for us both.
My brother Mark, as he’s a chef.
My daughter Carrie, as she loves to bake – Cupcakes are her speciality!
I would bring my mum, as she taught me how to cook and bake and enjoys it as much as I do

I would take my friend Pat who has taken up baking again now she has time after taking early retirement. This would be my way of thanking her for the delicious cakes she has made for me.
I’d take my 11 year old daughter who has got into baking in a big way and would love to pick up some more tips.
My best mate – well it wouldn’t be fair play in our bake off if I went alone lol
I’d take my Mum – it’s thanks to her and her regular ‘Sunday cakes’ from my childhood that I got into baking :’) (Plus, she can navigate public transport a lot more easily than me…)
My boyfriend because we both love cakes!
My mum is a keen baker and she would love to go to the show.
