Kirstie's Handmade Britain - 4oD

Series 1 Episode 1

First Broadcast: Wed 19 October 2011 Channel 4

Kirstie heads to the Devon County Show, where she enters some of her finest baked goods in the Afternoon Tea competition.

Kirstie needs to perfect her scones and homemade jam, and her chosen afternoon tea patisserie - kumquat eclairs. She enlists expert scone maker Richard Hunt to help her with a crumble-free scone, and the advice of Loretta Liu, who has worked under Raymond Blanc and Gordon Ramsay, for her eclairs.

Never one to do things half-heartedly, as the day of reckoning nears Kirstie decides she's going to enter a second baking competition - the single cake competition - where she creates a Caribbean fruit cake. But has Kirstie bitten off more than she can chew?
