“In the beginning, there was flour,” say two cavemen as they make a Victoria sponge cake on an open fire.

Thus starts The Great British Bake Off Musical. From there, it only gets loopier. Describing any scene sounds like you’re recounting a dream you had while on heavy medication. If you’ve wondered how a boxing match between two scones might play out or what focaccia self-portraits might look like, you’ll soon have your answer.
