Ready, steady, bake…

Fabulous clothes aside, Browns Fashion – London’s finest boutique and all-round amazing clothing emporium - can always be relied upon for some truly festive cheer. And this year’s Christmas video has to be the best yet.

This year’s theme is a high-fashion spoof of the Great British Bake Off. For the ‘Browns Christmas Bake Off’ Mrs B fills Mary Berry’s shoes and 4 fashion experts compete to be crowned top baker – or in this case, top decorator.

Competing in this must-see video are designers Henry Holland, Roksanda Ilincic and James Long (representing Browns Focus, womenswear and menswear) plus Browns owners, Caroline & Simon Burstein.

Having re-created the bake-off set, the Browns team gave contestants 15 minutes to identically decorate 4 gingerbread men incorporating the making of butter-cream icing and recreating a pre-designed sketch for their yummy treats.

The heat is on. Who will be crowned top baker? And who will prove they’ve bitten off more than they can chew? See the contestants battle it on in the brilliant vid below…
