I doubt it will have the charm or warm nature of The Great British Bake off, but a new show from the same producers is starting tonight on BBC2 at 8pm - Creme de la Creme.
"Important professional chefs compete to produce the most impressive miniatures and show-piece desserts.
Five heats with three teams will compete, with winners going to the semi-finals and a grand final.
The first round will see the pastry chefs attempt the miniature round, where they will make 36 miniature desserts in a three hour time limit. It’s all about precision and detail."
I've put a bit more detail about it on my personal baking website: http://british-bakers.com/the-new-british-baking-show-creme-de-la-creme-hits-our-tv-screens/
Who's going to watch and do you think it will be worth watching?!
via iPlayer as I'm about to go & do my bread mix for tomorrow mornings bake and will miss the start of it.
I'll watch the first one at any rate - the 2nd? Who knows... :-)

... I'll probably watch the next one too. It's no-where near as "light" as bake-off, but quite interesting from the patisserie point of view...
