Great British Bake Off: How you can be on the show in 2025 as applications open
The Great British Bake Off is casting for series 16 and is on the lookout for its next batch of bakers to head into the famous white tent for 2025. Applications are open to everyone aged 16 or over, and you must be a UK resident (including Isle of Man and Channel Islands).
In order to be successful, the show says a love and passion for baking is "a must", and that it is good if you have a broader baking repertoire "than just baking cakes", as on the series there is a bread, biscuit and pastry week among others. Producers say there is always time to practice throughout the process, however, and that lots of bakers who have appeared in the tent will learn throughout the process in a supportive environment.
For the application process, you are encouraged to include as much information about yourself and your baking as possible, with producers looking to get a sense of who you are, what type of baker you are and what bakes you have created previously, to learn what makes you stand out from the crowd. For the latest restaurant reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here.
You are encouraged to include as many photos and videos as you can to show off your creations. If an applicant is successful in moving on to the next stage, they will be contacted by a member of the casting team. If an applicant has not heard from the show by Friday, February 14, 2025, then they have not been successful.
A statement from the show read: "We’re looking for the next batch of talented home bakers to enter the tent in 2025! Are you a star baker in the making? Are you fabulous with flavours and wonderful with a whisk? If you have ever wanted to lay your oven gloves down in the famous white tent, then we want to hear from you! If you or someone you know is up for being part of history in the baking, apply now."
Deadline for all applications is Monday, December 9, at 1pm. You can apply online by clicking here or you can get in touch for more information by emailing applyforbakeoff@loveproductions.co.uk.
