The episode begins with hosts Baz and Maria welcoming Jackie Butterick to the studio for the first time. They mention they connected with her years ago after seeing her cakes online and have used her treats for Christmas gifts. Jackie explains she started baking seriously about six years ago during lockdown when she was furloughed from work. She began by sharing photos on Facebook and getting a hygiene certificate, initially baking for friends and family. Jackie describes the four treats she brought: a cream egg brownie, an Oreo cheesecake, a lemon crumble, and a Reese cookie bar. Maria samples the cream egg brownie live, praising its fudgy texture. Jackie discusses her baking philosophy, focusing on traditional home baking rather than elaborate wedding cakes. She notes that Victoria sponge and chocolate cake are her most popular items, and she avoids making Christmas cakes due to the time involved. The hosts ask about trends, with Jackie mentioning flavors like pistachio and Biscoff come and go. She shares that her Crunchy Tiffin is a signature bake. The conversation shifts to Adam's Donuts, with the hosts telling a humorous story about Leanne getting jam everywhere from one of his donuts. Jackie provides her contact details multiple times: [email protected] and social media. The episode ends with Maria trying the lemon crumble and the hosts thanking Jackie for visiting.
