The Trailer for The Great British Bake Off is Truly Magnifique!

500 eggs, 50kg of flour, 28kg of sugar, and a whole lot of love went into making the world’s first ever ‘bake-mation’. Led by director-duo Parabella, their cracking team of artisan bakers, expert model makers and stop-frame animators combined their skills and knowledge to bring the cast of 335 baked characters to life. They spent many weeks in our oven-filled studio perfecting the recipes for each sequence. The directors worked with expert bakers and animators to create the TV promo, which was filmed almost entirely in camera. It took weeks of testing and practical experimentation to perfect the vomiting vol-au-vents, the ‘hand-in-hand’ croissants and the choir of singing profiteroles, all of which were made from real bakes on set. Even the battenburg end board (or ‘batternboard’) was baked from scratch!
