ATTENTION ALL PASTRY CHEFS

Love Productions are a TV production company who make the award winning ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and its hit sister show, ‘Bake Off: The Professionals’.
Our most recent series of Bake Off: The Professionals, is currently airing on Channel 4 and we are looking for talented teams of UK-based pastry chefs to apply to take part in the next series – which will be our 11th series!

We have had many incredible pastry chefs compete over the years and we want to continue to showcase the elite from the world of professional pastry across the UK.

We will be looking for teams of 2 people - one member of the team will be the ‘Team Captain’, who will then nominate another team member to join them. These two team members do not have to work at the same establishment, just both need a real passion for pastry!

We are keen to celebrate diversity and up-and-coming talent within the industry and are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to some of the country’s most aspirational pastry chefs.
Our applications are now open, here is the link to apply: www.applyforbotp.co.uk
