The Great Witcher BakeOff Has Gone Viral and It's Amazing

Fans are having to wait a bit longer for more of Netflix's The Witcher, as season 2 has had to halt production and isn't slated for release until 2021. That's not to say though that there isn't great Witcher content out there, and you have certainly got to include the pure joy that is the Great Witcher Bakeoff. The competition amongst the cast and crew of The Witcher has gone viral at this point, as they challenge others to top their baking skills with some inspired results, and it would seem we have Paul Bullion and Sophie Holland to thank for it.

This all seemed to start because Holland lives next door to Bullion, and as at some point, she took some Cinnamon Rolls over to Bullion. Since Bullion likes to bake when he's not training, he decided to respond with some Cinnamon Rolls of his own, and then he challenged Holland directly, which he was more than happy to accept.

"I like to #Bake between my training sessions. During this "Quiet time".

@SophHollandCast
came at me with some fine hot cross buns last week. My response? Well....it's this:

Holland responded, and she had to give it to him in this battle, as evidently those Cinnamon Rolls were as good as they looked in the photo.

"Oh. My. F******. God.
I am dying right now.
Literally roaring.
Ps Lambert and I are neighbours so I tasted those Cinnamon Rolls and they were bloody perfection. Face screaming in fear

I'll take your challenge though hun.... oh I'll take it.

Then Faye Timby got the official train moving with the perfect name and nominated Tom Canton.

"Turns out
@PaulBullionLive
has a plethora of other skills besides acting and he's taken things to the next level in the kitchen Face with tears of joy

This can only mean one thing. Destiny is calling. It's time to face the music and commence... #TheGreatWitcherBakeOff

I nominate
@Tom_Canton"

At that point, the Great Witcher Bakeoff was born, and a variety of people from the Witcher team have gotten in on the action. There are now some absolutely priceless responses and baking videos as a result, and we've collected some of our favorites in one handy place so you can see how this all happened.

Tom Canton Responds

Canton was up to the challenge too, going savory with an amazing looking Beef Wellington dish. He then nominated Jeremy Crawford to be the next one up to bat.

"Savoury Bake. BeeLf Wellington. Over to you guys @SophHollandCast @fayetimby @MeciaSimson @PaulBullionLive @LHissrich #GreatWitcherBakeoff

Oh and I nominate @_JeremyCrawford"

Mecia Enters The Fray

While we were waiting for Jeremy to respond, Mecia Simson got in on the baking battle, debuting Banoffee Muffins with a killer soundtrack and some magic to boot. At the end of the video, she nominated Yasen Atour as the next one up.

"Melt in the middle BanoFFee MuFFins Winking faceback to you @SophHollandCast @fayetimby @LHissrich @PaulBullionLive @Tom_Canton @_JeremyCrawford let's see what you got baking in the oven @YasenAtour
#GreatWitcherBakeoff ??‍♀️Crossed swordsWolf face"

Yasen Responds

After Mecia called him out, Yasen dropped a video of his own, and as the bored in the house track played he got to baking in style, donning an apron and sunglasses for the event. It's a must-watch, trust us.

"Fresh out the oven! @MeciaSimson @fayetimby @PaulBullionLive @LHissrich over to you @SophHollandCast #GreatWitcherBakeoff"

Jeremy Delivers

Canton initially challenged Jeremy Crawford, and when he finally responded he did not disappoint. Wielding an axe in his baking photos, Crawford went for an Apple Pie with a Scotch Carmel glaze, though we have to say we are more impressed at how he sliced the apples with a giant axe.

"Dwarven Homemade Apple Pie w/ a Scotch Carmel glaze & Whipped Cream.
@Tom_Canton don't bring a knife to an axe fight! For Mahakam! @SophHollandCast @fayetimby @PaulBullionLive @LHissrich @MeciaSimson #GreatWitcherBakeOff And I nominate @adele_oni ! You're next! Wolf face❤⚔"

Lauren Showrunner Lasagna

Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich couldn't help but notice all the amazing baking happening on Twitter, so she decided to enter the fray as well, going with a bacon covered homemade meatloaf.

"I made homemade meatloaf. Does that count for the #GreatWitcherBakeoff?

Anyone? Anyone?

(Goes back in her American cave.)"

Jack Brings The Horses

In what has to be one of the most creative entries in the Great Witcher Bakeoff, Jack Wolfe made an entire short film around making his dish, one that did not have any swords or axes, but did have heart and lots of horses.

"RIGHT ok here is my entry/short film for #GreatWitcherBakeoff , nominated by @adele_oni! "Nadbor Tries his Best" No swords or axes, but there are some horses

@SophHollandCast @PaulBullionLive @Tom_Canton @_JeremyCrawford @MeciaSimson @YasenAtour @fayetimby @LHissrich"

Lethal Adele

If you thought Jeremy's whole cutting stuff with an axe baking method was cool, you've only scratched the surface, as Adele Oni decided to bust out a sword (and some dance moves) in the kitchen while making some Zerrikanean Chilli-Chocolate Bites. They looked great, and it just goes to show how steep the Great Witcher Bakeoff competition really is.

"Zerrikanean Chilli-Chocolate BITEs!
That's right @_JeremyCrawford ...never bring an axe to a sword fight Yarpen #GreatWitcherBakeOff

The Bard Debuts

It wouldn't be a Witcher party without the best bard in the business Jaskier, and Joey Batey went big, filming a whole YouTube video that started off with a hilarious introduction about needing love and...well, ingredients to make things. Things don't go so well in the kitchen though for Batey, and it makes for one hilarious video that you just have to watch for yourself.

"I felt left out. So. https://youtube.com/watch?v=TcN8GCcAAkI
