Great British Bake Off
On your marks, get set… bake!
The ever-enchanting, delightful, and diplomatic culinary competition - Great British Bake Off - has returned to our screens. With contestants back in the famous GBBO tent, will you be getting in the kitchen too?
We have put together a selection of delicious baking recipes for you to get busy with in the kitchen. From Battenberg to flapjacks, cheesecake to carrot cake, there’s a recipe for every Bake Off fan.
Baking at home with friends, family or alone can be fantastic fun! As long as you stay clear of the dreaded soggy bottom (layer), produce a great bake and aim for an imaginary Paul Hollywood handshake.
But a real star baker considers where the ingredients they’re baking with come from - such as eggs.
Every year in the UK, we consume billions of eggs. Approximately 35.5%* of these come from hens kept in still kept in cages.

Free-range, organic, barn eggs, with so many labels, it can get a little confusing to know where your eggs coming from. To find out more, check out our page on RSPCA Assured Eggs.

What Makes RSPCA Assured Eggs Different?
The RSPCA’s standards for egg-laying hens do not allow birds to be kept in cages… ever. So if you see the RSPCA Assured logo, you can trust that those eggs came from a hen who never lived in a cage.
Under the RSPCA Assured scheme, hens are provided with enrichment objects to peck at such as knotted rope and straw bales. They also have litter and dust bathing boxes which allow them to dust bathe together. The raised perches improve bone strength and allow hens to rest undisturbed.
For more on egg-laying hens, please see our welfare standards.
