The TV show to watch when you're bored of #fitspo.

Unbutton your jeans.

And pour a large cup of tea.

Because tonight at 8.30pm on Foxtel Lifestyle, The Great Australian Bake Off is back. And we’re more excited than a fat kid at a Sizzler buffet.

Why?

Because sometimes you just want to look at beautiful cakes. SOMETIMES, you just want to stop with all the nonsense in your life and watch Maggie Beer smiling benevolently over towering piles of sugar. 

Sometimes you just want to stop with all the nonsense in your life and watch Maggie Beer smiling benevolently over towering, dripping piles of baked goods.

This show is a sweet, reality TV delight. Contestants aren’t plonked into situations where they will get death threats (hello Survivor). Everyone gets enough sleep at night (take note, The Block). No one is forced to marry another person before meeting them properly (cough Married at First Sight cough), no ones heart gets broken (#PutYourRosesOutForNikki).  The judges are kind, the comedian hosts are funny, the contestants are heaven. It’s the powdery nanna hug of reality TV shows.

And also,

CAKEEEEEE.

Recently, we got to go behind the scenes with two of the main cake eaters.

On the latest episode of the Can’t Live Without Podcast, Mel Buttle, comedian and host of GABO (as us super fans call it) sat down with Judge Matt Moran for some bake-chat.

Hear Matt and Mel talk about Bake Off in the latest episode of the Can’t Live Without Podcast: 

So what can we expect?

CAKE.

And maybe tears.

But mainly: CAKE.

Tall cakes. Multi-coloured cakes. Chocolate cakes. Cakes. Cakes. Cakes. Cake Porn.

Just take a look:

Okay, now we’re hungry.

That really is cakespiration.

Craving something sweet? Monz’s lemonade scones are just lemonade, cream and flour. Too easy. Watch here:
