Win Mary Berry books to celebrate the imminent return of Bake Off

Goodness me, a cake I must make
No problem, I know a good cook
Let me find that recipe book
The orchard is full of berries
And I just know I can rely on Mary Berry
To cream and whisk is my delight
Now to prepare a really light bite!
A new recipe book would be a dream
And help me feel part of her cookery team

There was a young lady from Bath,
who sought to make her life's path
baking puddings and pies,
making buns and cakes rise
and generally having a laugh.

There once was a lady named Mary
Who baked cakes light and airy
I ate so many
I'm short fat and hairy
But very merry Mary Berry....

Mrs Hollywood's son, name of Paul
Holds the Great British public in thrall
With his talent for baking
Cake, pie and bread-making
Mr Blue Eyes, for me, has it all!

I’ve tried and I’ve tried till I’m blue
To turn out confections of choux
I whisk and I beat
Expecting a treat
But end up with globules of GOO!

There once was a lady called Mary
whose cakes....both Fancy and Fairy
all turned out a treat
and could not be beat
she's lovely, and not at all scary.

She has a male colleague called Paul
whose blue eyes entrap one and all
He bakes gorgeous Bread
(It has to be said)
but ladies for him, do all fall

Completing this wonderful crew
two more-Mel and Sue- are there too
and when they shout 'BAKE'
The contestants all quake
'cos they now need to show what THEY do

We're so glad to see that it's back
most other shows having a 'lack'
The banter and fun
in the rain and the sun
gets viewers in summer 'on track'

A group of old ladies on gransnet
Were baking a cake to perfection
The sponge was so light
The cake a delight,
It only the icing would set!

I borrowed so much in my fifties
That I’m doing three jobs in my sixties
My grandson lives down under
And it all makes me wonder
Where I’d be without Gransnet and whisky baking

There was a young baker called Dan
Who threw flour and fruit in a pan
He gave a stir and did all he could
Just to Mary and Paul Hollywood

this is a special day today
im going to bake a cake to say
happy 18th birthday son
then my scruptious work is done
we will celebrate and eat and play

There once was a cooking fairy
Who's name was Mary Berry.
She called out not yet
In the bake off get set
Make sure your sponges are airy.

First married my cooking was a mess
Now a Nana it's better I confess
Mary Berry would help me on my way
On my cooking skills day by day
So as a Geordie I say to Gransnet
Would I like?.... Wye Aye Pet !!

The Bake Off is back, hip hooray
This news has quite brightened my day
For Mary's my hero
I'll reach for my Be-ro
And try some cake making her way.

in the kitchen we see Mary Berry
with recipes handpicked like a cherry
with icing you'll see
we'll all dance with glee
with a cake to make us all merry

To bake on the beeb is a thrill
Afforded to entrants who will
Produce cakes,breads and fancies
From their store-cupboard pantries,
To delight and enthral us - just brill!

With sometimes a problem or two
And questions like "what shall I do?",
With dextrous dough-handling
The results are outstanding,
And always delivered "on cue"

Another new series, that's great!
Each contestant awaiting their fate;
From the call of "Let's Bake"
To the show's final take,
It's Great British Bake Off - can't wait!

The Vicar has asked me to say,
Mary's book wouldn't half make his day.
Our Church Fete needs a prize,
And with cakes, breads and pies,
We could sell Raffle tickets all day !

The last line should read as follows

Make a nice cake today.
Try the Mary Berry way.
Add all the stuff that she says you will need,
Mix it all up with a light hand indeed
It will help you to work rest and play.

Mary Berry's a marvel - oh my !
Whether custards or flans, sponge or pie,
'Cos the way that she makes
Everything that she bakes
Means that duffers like me have a try!

Make a nice cake today.
Try the Mary Berry way.
Add all the stuff that she says you will need,
Mix it all up with a light hand indeed,
But don't eat it all today.

We all love to watch the great bake off
How the ratings must soar, it did take off
We all love Mary
Cakes light as a fairy
How I pine when the series does break off

After a long day on my feet,
My question is ,"What can I eat?"
The answer is cake
So I start to bake,
A sweet treat that cannot be beat.

A contestant on GBBO
Put all of her goodies on show.
Her buns and her baps
Were released from their wraps
Until Mary and Paul shouted 'Whoa!!!'

CariGransnet, will there be judging or just a draw for the winner?

The Great British Bake Off is back
Of sweat and tears there'll be no lack
Mel and Sue's witty jokes
Will amuse all the folks
Perfect icing - you just need the knack!
