I’m in the middle of filming Irelands’ Best Young Baker with RTE. It’s a really lovely project to be working on and involves lots of incredible cakes and breads being baked by 8-12 year olds. It’s part of the RTE’s Elev8 program me and will be on screens in Autumn. Some of the challenges have been incredibly difficult and they’re getting harder! I’m one of the judges and mentors so my role is to go and chat to these busy little bakers as they weigh, knead and ice their creations. I then have the tough job of tasting everything. It’s fantastic and so encouraging to see so much talent in children so young! Here’s a quick video of the Amazing Victoria Sponge Cakes they made.
I’ll be posting more photos on my Instagram and will post here about it again soon! We’ll also be chatting to Ryan Tubridy on his show this Wednesday morning.
Till then, enjoy this gorgeous weather we’re having!
