Our first ever guest episode and this one's a tasty one!

Find out about the history of cake, and a charming little story of how a little town in southern India grew to become a global hotspot for Christmas cakes. There are stories about conjoined twins, examination practices at Oxford and folklore from China. Also a really fun segment on some totally bizarre world cake records! And we rechristen Red Velvet cake.

Packed with flavour and information, this episode features guest Kerrie Cheetham who bakes for a living over at Kezwink Cakes in Derbyshire. We couldn’t have picked a better guest! Along with her baking credentials, Kerrie brings zany humour, some delicious facts of her own and a storytelling ability that rivals the best! We better watch out for this one.
