"The Great British Baking Show" is returning for its 11th season with some familiar faces and plenty of new ones, too.
"The iconic white tent is ready to welcome the 12 newest amateur bakers as they whip, pipe, and proof their way through the competition," said Netflix in a news release. "So grab your apron and check for any soggy bottoms, because it’s time to take the newest culinary adventure out of the oven."
The show puts the contestants' baking skills to the test in a series of challenges that range from bread and puddings to complex cakes and of course, show-stoppers. One contestant is eliminated each week, and the winner is selected from the top three bakers who reach the finale.
