[Ads-l] to cake-bake - BrE

[Benjamin Barrett]

I stumbled across an example of this verb from across the Pond on season one, episode one of "The Great British Bake Off.”

The citation is at 29:50 (http://bit.ly/1oc7alC) “began cake-baking” but slightly before that is an instance of “cake-baking” as a noun, which perhaps primes the narrator.

For those interested, the scene just before this is about a seventeenth-century cake, one of the first modern cakes, if not the first, known.
