Cakes Illustrations for the Frack Free Bake Off in Lancashire

Illustration of cakes Emma and Sophie Thompson will make during the Frack Free Bake Off. Actor Emma Thompson and her sister Sophie take direct peaceful action against the government's plans for fracking. On the proposed fracking site they take part in the Frack Free Bake Off, inspired by the TV series the Great British Bake Off, in a bid to promote renewable energy. The site, leased by fracking firm Cuadrilla, has been transformed by Greenpeace volunteers into a film studio inspired by the popular BBC show, complete with white marquee, vintage utensils, and bunting. The celebrities will be cooking energy-themed cakes in a bespoke kitchen powered by wood and solar panels. The ‘Frack Free Bake Off’ episode is being filmed on the highly controversial site near Preston where Cuadrilla wants to frack. The energy company applied for an injunction to keep away protesters in 2014, and the ban has been in place ever since.
