Inside the Viral Granny Core Baking Trend & Vintage Baking

This week’s Knead To Know dives into the viral rise of vintage baking — from heirloom cookbooks and antique mixing bowls to creators bringing “Granny Core” to Instagram and TikTok. Gemma even flips through her grandmother’s cookery book (recipes like Gooseberry Fool and Sally Lunn buns!) and explains why retro tools and recipes feel so fresh again today. In Hot From The Oven, Gemma and Ami unpack TikTok’s quirky new claim: banana bread is now the “male equivalent of flowers.” Plus, a surprising look at WNBA players who bake off the court, from Caitlin Clark’s cookies and brownies to retired stars launching dessert businesses. Finally, the Bold Baking Hotline tackles questions about recreating discontinued “Golden Fruit” cookies (Garibaldi Biscuits to the rescue!) and smart substitutions now that Nabisco chocolate wafers for icebox cakes are gone.
