Have you got a soggy bottom at the prospect of TV’s naughtiest baking show returning this week? We certainly do. In fact, we’ve already stress eaten all the burnt Bundt cake we made to try and calm our stress levels in the run up to the show over the weekend.
Today though, we’re feeling a little better, and that’s mainly because we’ve found ourselves a baker to get behind: an accomplished contestant who seems adequately competent to guide us through the next 10 weeks and emerge victorious as the baker to smash all other bakers.
Her name? Flora Sheddon. Oh, and she’s 19.
Here’s your need to know on this excellent young lady.
She has a food blog and it’s putting everything you ever cooked to shame
One thing’s for sure, if we ever get to the stage in our life where we have a dinner party and think, ‘Actually, I’m not going to serve my friends that shitty lasagne I bunged together in 20 minutes last night, I’m going to hire someone to cook’, we’re hiring Flora. That is, if she’s up for being hired.
And also, if we ever start earning more than 3p an hour. Srsly though, LOOK at some of the stuff she’s made. We’re all about this Roasted Root Panzella(good luck making yours look half as fancy as that) and then HELLO, how about these beetroot and lemon pancakes? We’ll take 10.
She’s one smart cookie
Considering she’s only 19, Flora’s done a lot. She’s worked as a (deep breath) gallery assistant, researcher, photographer, costume seamstress and waitress. Oh, and in September, she’s due to go to St Andrews (no mean feat to get into) to read Art History. Her fresher flatmates are going to be a couple of lucky buggers. No pesto and pasta in that house.
She takes a mean picture
I mean, just look at her Instagram account. Perfection no?
Also, just in case the baking thing goes tits up, she’s great at hair too
These buns she did on her little sister? Top dollar.
