Tips for baking your application
From producers Cardova:
Spend about 30 seconds telling us about yourself, sharing your name, where you are from, your hobbies and interests, why you love baking and of course tell us why you think you’re a legend in the baking!
We want to get to know you through this video so be open about yourself and your baking story.
Then, in the same video, spend 30 seconds showing off some of those sick baking skills, and show us something you have baked using Royal Baking Powder, bonus points for including Royal Baking Powder in your shot.
Get creative and tell us why you have baked this wonder!
We want to see what you’re baking for our video, so film yourself with your final cake or cookies or pie (or whatever your imagination can come up with) rather than filming photos of stuff you have baked in the past.
