Cheshire’s Bake Off fans will have the opportunity to meet former contestant Howard Middleton at a Christmas baking masterclass at Tattenhall’s Inspired Village.

Inspired Villages in Tattenhall is giving all baking enthusiasts a treat this month as former Great British Bake Off contestant Howard Middleton will be demonstrating his best Christmas bakes in time for the festive season.

Guests can look forward to Howard’s top tips on how to make the best Christmas puddings, cakes and mince pies, as well as anecdotes from his time on the nation’s favourite baking TV series.

Charming the nation with his quirky personality and creative bakes, not to mention being the victim of the infamous ‘custardgate’ incident, Howard quickly became a firm favourite during the fourth series of the show.

Since the show, he has appeared as a panel contestant on Bake Off’s spin-off programme An Extra Slice, has written his first book Delicious Gluten Free Baking and now regularly demonstrates at food shows and festivals across the country.
