Tasha's Bake

What is Tasha baking today?

Tasha's Challenge

 Tasha is plating up a Showstopper to present to Paul and Prue. She takes a minute to check the decoration that she has created.

Tasha's Cake

 Tasha is mixing up something to wow the judges! What can it be?

Is it the chocolate cake with raspberries from the opening title of the Great British Bake Off?

Tasha's Pastry

 Tasha is ready to roll out some pastry!

I love this wooden rolling pin. AG really makes cool accessories.

Tasha's Decorating

 Tasha is  ready to put her piping skills to work and decorate some biscuits for an elaborate baking challenge!

Tasha's Pie

 Tasha just took this pie out of the oven. It looks good on top. 

She hopes that it doesn't have a soggy bottom!

Tasha's Mess

 Oh no! Tasha made a mess and dropped an egg!

The clock is ticking, but she will use her skills to save her bake.

Tasha's Dough

 Here is Tasha mixing up a dough for the Great British Bake Off! 

She has to be careful with her time management, but she has practiced this, and she's ready.

Bread Week

 Here is Tasha presenting some slices of bread for the judges!

Prue and Paul are going to love it!

Custom Tasha Doll from GBBO

 I was so excited when I saw that the Great British Bake Off has a Deaf baker this season.

Tasha looks like a very sweet and talented baker. I am very hearing impaired, so I love seeing the representation.

I decided impulsively that I wanted to make a custom doll of her. I wanted a blue eyed Joss mold with dark blonde hair.

I was really lucky. I was able to find a blue eyed Joss mold for sale.

This is the doll that I used as a base for Tasha. She has a straightened Caroline wig. I think she has modern Rapunzel vibes in this picture!

I found the perfect wig available at Zazou wigs. It was the last wig in this color.

Here's my first picture of Tasha the doll! With a picture of real Tasha next to her for comparison.

I need to make her a beige apron.

I look forward to watching this season of GBBO and cheering the real-life Tasha on.

I also look forward to spending time with my adorable new doll!

One thing to be aware of is that Tasha speaks British Sign Language. It is a totally different language than American Sign Language. I think it's sad that different English-speaking countries have different sign languages, which further isolates their Deaf speakers.
