´óÏó´«Ã½

Edd Kimber’s love of baking began in childhood. His mum would often get the mixing bowl out and teach him how to bake. He remembers standing on a stool at Christmas being encouraged to help cut out the pastry for the mince-pies.

After unfulfilling office jobs, he decided to pursue his real passion, and applied for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two series The Great British Bake Off in 2010, where from 4 000 applicants he was crowned 'Britain’s Best Amateur Baker'.

He joins Jane to explain how to make the perfect Christmas Cake – with details of his Kimber Family recipe.
