You have got to be kidding!! It looks like my worst nightmare – all that pressure, and everything filmed. NNNNOOOOOOO!!!
You were so brave for going ahead and following your (crazy) dreams. I love this blog – always fun and helpful.
*Scared*
I wish I was old enough to enter:( Maybe another year!
I am already looking foward to watching the next series! You were amazing to enter and do so well, coping with all the pressure. Can not wait to see your book.
Best wishes and awaiting eagerly for your next post

Hi Ruth, I have sent in an application for the Great British Bake Off on 17th February to Love productions but cant for the life of me find the closing date for this years competition. Do you know what it is as all of a sudden im wondering if I missed the closing date? Also I haven't had any kind of response from them to say that they received anything….
I would also love to say that I love your blog and words of wisdom from a past contestant are as good as gold!!!! xx
I'm sure you've not missed the closing date – last year auditions ran until pretty much the start of filming which was early May. If you're in doubt email them at Love to check, they won't mind! Good luck and let us know how you go on! xx
I want to enter but i am olny 9:(
Let's hope they do a children's Great British Bake Off….that would be great! xx
Ruth! You may be a little psychic because CBBC and Love are making 'Junior Bake Off' and are looking for bakers aged 9-12 to apply now!
All details can be found at http://www.loveproductions.co.uk
Just to let you all know that the first episode of Junior Bake Off begins on Monday 31st October 2011 at 6:20pm on the CBBC channel.

Wish i could enter! Am 13 so cant do the junior one either (ages 9-12)! How old do you have to be to apply for the great british bake off?
I think the minimum age is 16 practice until then and you’ll be a sure fire winner! Xx
Thankyou! xx
im so annoyed that i cant go on both the british bake off shows!
Oh Lord! 2 more years and i can enter- Good luck to anyone who can bake and are brave enough to do this (I am scared out of my wits!)
I’m 12 and was wondering if anyone could help me find a applicant for Great British Bake Off junior..? I want to do it but I’m not sure how to apply… HELP
Keep an eye out on the CBBC website – when they are looking for people it will be advertised on there first – good luck! x
