If you’re from the States, chances are your first exposure to the charming U.K. baking series The Great British Bake Off came in the form of its Americanized Netflix version, The Great British Baking Show. The competitive baking series is unlike anything on American television. Instead of cutthroat theatrics or competitive mean streaks among contestants, we get pleasant hourlong episodes where voices are rarely ever raised, set in the lovely outdoors, and where the beautiful baked concoctions are the true focus. But if there was ever a true breakout moment, it was in the 2014 season (labeled “Collection 1” on American Netflix), when Northern Irish contestant Iain Watters got so frustrated about his melted Baked Alaska that he threw it in the garbage instead of presenting it for competition. The moment put him at ends with fellow contestant Diana Beard, who moved Iain’s dish from the freezer to make room for her own, thus ruining it. It’s a big talking moment for the show, but it seems the past is in the past, as Iain and Diana reunited at fellow contestant Martha Collison’s wedding this weekend. In fact, many of that season’s bakers turned up for the event. Even better? Each of them baked a cake for the bride and groom. Iain was spotted standing next to Diana and fellow contestants Enwezor Nzegwu, Richard Burr, Nancy Birtwhistle (winner of the season), Chetna Makan, Claire Goodwin, and Kate Henry. Another contestant, Jordan Cox, popped up in another photo. Luis Troyano and Norman Calder were the only two contestants who didn’t make it to the nuptials. The guests flanked bride Collison, who at 17 was the youngest contestant in the show’s history. Now 22, she said “I do” to her partner Michael Haywood. It was lovely to see everyone together and getting along, and to see Iain and Diana in such good spirits. We also have to admit our jealousy. Imagine attending that wedding and getting to taste cakes from all of those iconic Baking Show folks! Images: Netflix What’s better than a really delicious wedding cake? More than half a dozen! The cast of season 5 of the Great British Bake Off reunited Saturday to celebrate the wedding of their castmate Martha Collison, and each baker brought his or her own individual cake as a token of their love. “What a day! Having known @marthacollison since she was 17, watching her get married to @mbhaywood27 yesterday was just most lovely and beautiful and even more special since we had the whole bake-off family there to celebrate!” Chetna Makan captioned a sweet shot of the whole crew. “Also an honour to make her cake with all the other bakers, love each and everyone one of them! 💕💞💓💗” Among the familiar faces that reconvened in full-on wedding attendee garb were contestants Nancy Birtwhistle, Richard Burr, Claire Goodwin, Kate Henry, Enwezor Nzegwu, Iain Watters, Diana Beard, and Jordan Cox. The only two GBBO contestants who weren’t able to make it out were Luis Troyana and Norman Calder, though winner Birtwhistle gave them a sweet shoutout. “My baker pals come together for beautiful Martha’s Wedding Day,” she captioned a group shot of the friends. “It was amazing.” A second photo bore the caption, “Missed you @luisthebaker and Norman x.” Fans of the hit series will remember that the former competitors were kind and helpful to one another, and bonded as a group back when the season aired in 2014. Some of the cakes on display included Birtwhistle’s prinsesstarta, a traditional Swedish layer cake covered in pink icing and topped with elegant flower decorations; Goodwin’s three-tiered chocolate cake sprinkled with various chocolate treats (including chocolate-covered pretzels); and a smattering of other offerings, including a Biscoff cake, a pistachio and raspberry cake, a lemon cake, a cardamom white chocolate pistachio cake, a chocolate lime raspberry cake, and more. “Such a wonderful beautiful day celebrating the wedding of @marthacollison and @mbhaywood27,” Henry captioned a photo on Instagram. “Thank you for the most magical day. Loved baking your cake, seeing my delicious #bakeff #gbbo family. Five years on and the best of pals still.”  (Credit: The Great British Bakeoff UK) Looking for your ideal cake?
