Good Afternoon Lovelies, 

The birthday celebrations are continuing right now lovelies, with a special cake recipe, created by the Food Network, that I think we should all make to mark the amazing celebrations!

To celebrate their new show, Bakers vs. Fakers, which premieres Wednesday 9th August at 9pm on Food Network, the channel found the more and more Brits were buying cakes and claiming them as their own after feeling pressured by TV programmes and baking trends to create their own.

56% of people have even stated that they would look for baking shortcuts to help them when it comes to baking, after being inspired by social media to make their own. However, those days are now behind you with the channel opening The Fakery in London, which will teach you all you need to know about baking the quick and easy way.

 Hosting free workshops, The Fakery will see classes being taught by top bakers including Juliet Sear to help enhance the skills you can use on store brought cakes lovelies. Speaking about The Fakery, critically acclaimed baker, author and star faker, Juliet Sear, says: “I’m so excited to be teaming up with Food Network to help launch The Fakery. Research shows that people want to bake more, but don’t because they are strapped for time. There are lots of smart shortcuts to help create show-stopping bakes and I am going to be giving away a few of these secrets at The Fakery!”

Whilst, Phillip Luff, Managing Director of Scripps Networks Interactive, UK & EMEA said, “Brits love to get in the kitchen and over the past few years we’ve seen a huge rise in the demand for baking programmes. When we heard that people want to bake more, but struggle to find the time to bake from scratch, we thought it would be a brilliant idea to open The Fakery, to help our fans find time to create some amazing bakes!”
