THIS IS A REVISED VERSION OF, 'THE BAKE OFF', WITH SOME NEW MATERIAL. THE NOVELLA WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2013 BY ENDEAVOUR PRESS. Nicola is delighted when she is accepted for The Northern Bake-Off competition. She soon works out that Gemma, a stunning young teacher, is her main baking rival. Nicola is sure that the handsome TV presenter, David Chambers is flirting with her, but he also has his eye on Gemma. He may be attracted to Gemma's slim figure and immature giggle, but he can't resist Nicola's delicious bakes. Part of the main prize is an evening at The Savoy restaurant with David. Can Nicola fight off her rival to win the competition and her dinner-date?
