There are so many programmes on television at present that people sit there watching and wondering how, exactly, they made it on to air. With hundreds and thousands of panel shows, numerous talent shows and the doom and gloom that comes from the news, it’s good to have one show that captures the imagination of the British audience, encouraging them to go out and have a go at something themselves. The Great British Bake Off is getting people from around the country delving into their kitchen cupboards looking for ingredients, cake decorations and more to create their own masterpiece, inspired by the presenters and those taking part in the BBC2 show. Even people who don’t normally bake have been given food for thought thanks to the show, and the demand for certain items in supermarkets and groceries has risen like a loaf of that intriguing banana bread you saw on last week’s episode. Stores such as Marks and Spencer have reported that sales increases of around 20% have been seen in some of their stores for baking ingredients and various cake decorations, while John Lewis say muffin tins and trays have sold 15% more thanks to the show. Other smaller, independent stores have reported being completely sold out of various ingredients that customers had seen on the show. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about whether or not your local shop stocks rosemary or vanilla essence, because Sugar Shack is the place to find all your kitchen essentials. From baking tins to candles, we have it all. People just love getting in the kitchen at present, which is great to see. The more adults inspired by the show that pick up a whisk and a few eggs, will only encourage their children to do the same, (or at least to lick the bowl afterwards!) A home full of people wanting to do something, such as baking, is a much better one than a household of people lying around complaining that there’s nothing on the TV, don’t you think? If you agree, take a look around the Sugar Shack website and get in touch with us to place an order. Cake decorations, baking tins, books, we have it all.
