A tasty snippet of what's to come on The Great SA Bake Off tonight

Cape Town – Season 2 of The Great South African Bake Off kicks off tonight at 20:00 on BBC Lifestyle.

12 new bakers will take to the kitchen to compete for the crown of best amateur baker.

With trepidation, excitement and a spoonful of nerves, the  bakers enter the pressurised environment of the Bake Off tent for the very first time.

Judged by Shirley Guy and Tjaart Walraven, episode 1 is all about cakes – starting with a signature bake challenge to create the perfect glazed madeira loaf cake, followed by a technical bake challenge to make bee sting cake.

Finally, the pressure is on and the clock is ticking for the showstopper challenge to create a black forest gateau.

Who will be crowned the first star baker of the season and who will be eliminated from the tent?
