Will #Rickmansworth's Cinnamon Square be Britain's Best Bakery?

Cinnamon Square, based in Church Street, Rickmansworth, will be appearing in series 2 of ITV’s Britain’s Best Bakery.

The programme which was filmed last summer both in Rickmansworth and on location sees Cinnamon Square compete for a place to represent the South East of England.

At the initial stages Cinnamon Square was amongst three bakeries that competed in the Home Counties round.  The bakeries were given three challenges to complete which included producing their signature bake, a bakers dozen and a wild card.  How they progressed and the bakes they produced will all be revealed over the coming weeks.

The two bakers representing Cinnamon Square were Master Baker and co-owner Paul Barker and Pastry Chef Hazel Carmichael. 

“This was a phenomenal experience for us that tested all our baking skills, knowledge and creativity.  We participated last summer during the heat wave which really tested our stamina in an already pressurised environment” said Paul Barker.

Britain’s Best Bakery starts on Monday 6th January for 6 weeks.  The programme is on each day, Monday to Friday at 4pm on ITV1.

Tonight....Landlords' Forum 6pm Three Rivers House, Northway, #Rickmansworth

20th January, 2014 in the Penn Chamber from 6.00pm. One of the main presentations will be from the Housing Benefit Department showing the landlords how to get into their housing benefit accounts. Also, Paul Shamplina from Landlord Action. He is the founder. Its an organisation with access to solicitors to help landlords to obtain possession orders or advice if the tenant has broken the terms of the tenancy agreement. Paul has been on television etc so he has a high profile in the housing world. There will also be a representative from The National Landlords Association who will discuss the governments decision that private landlords must check the status of their tenants to ensure that if they are immigrants they have the right to remain in the UK. It is also the first anniversary of Easy Let which has been a big success.
