The “Great British Baking Show” is a long running reality show, once seen as a heartwarming escape. Here is a list of books that can also fulfill that particular “Bake Off” dish of sugary and heartwarming.
“The Charm Offensive” by Alison Cochrun
Though there are no sugary treats of the baked variety in the novel, this does offer that competition and a sweet finish.

All of this adds up to an open-hearted and heartwarming story.
“Black Cake” by Charmaine Wilkerson
You won’t be able to feed the title of this book without watering for sweetness. But the details of this novel and its back story are as rich as the most delicious dessert. A black cake recipe by Wilkerson subscription Sweet Reads calls for one whole pound of dark brown sugar—but notes “Quantities are approximate. Eleanor never did write them down.”
“Chef’s Kiss” by T. J. Alexander
In the novel, Simone is an inspired baker, which means that there are many passages detailing how she creates original recipes both at work and at home. The book nods at the competitive food industry in general, where celebrity chefs and social media can make or break a career.
“Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake” by Alexis Hall
The competition that Rosaline takes part in is a very real “Bake Off” , and she completes with three bakes per episode (集). But it also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what we all imagine is really being said by the hosts and producers when the cameras are off.

24、Bing Dwen Dwen, the cute mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, has been selling like hotcakes. Why is the ice—glazed panda so popular? What are the clever ideas behind its design? Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts professor Cao Xue, who is in charge of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics mascot design team, told the story.
The 14-member design team led by Cao Xue are all teachers and graduate students from the School of Visual Arts and Design of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.

Bing Dwen Dwen is a panda with a high sense of science and technology. It draws attention with its full-body “shell” made out of ice. Cao said the inspiration came from traditional.

Although the tanghulu idea was widely praised, it wasn’t enough to represent the image of a big country. So the team tried again and again, changing the image in the ice shell into elk, tiger, rabbit…Various ideas have been put forward and overturned, but eventually it was decided that China’s national treasure panda is the most beloved by people all over the world.
