Season 5 of the Great British Bake Off starts Wednesday 6th August! The entrants have been announced. There’s the wacky one:

But best of all, Mel & Sue will be there, plus Paul & Mary. Always a strangely-enchanting watch, even if you don’t care about cakes or bread.

If this lot gets you inspired though, perhaps you want to bake a cake. To get you in the mood, Sainsbury’s have sent me a copy of their Cake Recipe book – and you could win one!

As well as lots of recipes, there’s hints and tips, advice for making fondant icing, plus templates for you to cut out to make showstoppers.

This competition has now closed – thanks for all your entries. The winner was Nashath from Surrey.
