Everything you need to recreate this week’s Bake Off challenge: caramel week

Some weeks it’s easier to recreate the Bake Off challenges than others. When I saw the broken glass and sticky mess that was the teaser for this week’s episode, I swore I wouldn’t even try caramel in my kitchen this week, and yet, once again, I felt inspired.

Having found the mixer they use on Bake Off, I thought I’d investigate what they used to make caramels, tarte tatin and ice cream in the stall. I thought it would cost thousands of dollars to equip my kitchen with everything the bakers have on their counters, but it really doesn’t.
