THEY impressed millions of people on TV, and now a couple will give Tyne Valley residents first-hand lessons in the art of baking.

Richard Winfield and Bernadett Szucs, the owner of Newcastle-based Dreamworld Cakes, appeared on Channel 4's Bake Off: The Professionals earlier this year.

On the back of their rise in popularity following the series, they will head to Linnels Farm, in Hexham, on September 1 to showcase their skills in an informal patisserie demonstration.

Karen Phillips, the owner of Linnels Farm, said: "I am thrilled that Dreamworld Cakes is coming to Linnels Farm to share their talents with us.

"Like many, I was absolutely glued to the TV each week, marvelling at their creations and cheering them on.

"We are so lucky to have such a gifted team of patissiers in the North-East and to have them coming along to the farm is just the icing on the cake."

Tickets for the demonstration, to take place at 10.30am, need to be pre-booked at www.linnelsfarm.co.uk/courses.
