Pippa had such a wonderful time writing and creating the Bake off music for The Great British Bake-Off Musical. The music team that worked on The Great British Bake-Off Musical were some of the best, including Mark Collins, Tom Curran and of course the writer for the original TV Programme Bake Off music, Tom Howe. They all worked incredibly hard to get the Bake-Off music exactly right for this fabulous musical. There is an amazing cast recording of The Great British Bake Off Musical which can be found near the top of this page if you want to listen. Pippa is very happy with how this turned out and how it wonderfully shows off the Bake Off music.
