Rena Sofer: Bake Off
It all started when Sofer (who plays BB’s Quinn) was making cinnamon scones with her daughter, Avalon. Sofer took out her phone and recorded Avalon putting the icing on the baked goods. In her post, she tagged celebrity chef Martha Collison.
“Not as pretty as @marthacollison and sorry for destroying your name but we made cinnamon scones!!!” posted Sofer. “#greatbritishbakingshow #gbbs #marthacooking #motherdaughterbaking #quarantinelife.”
Much to Sofer’s delight, Collison saw the post and chimed in with a response. “These look so great!!” Collison replied in Sofer’s post. “Beautiful girl + beautiful scones 😍” “@marthacollison awww,” replied the BB actress. “We just love you so much!!!”
Later, Sofer shared in a new post just how much the interaction meant to her. “If you don’t think celebrities fangirl over certain people you are wrong!!! When @marthacollison liked and replied to my post of making her cinnamon scones both my daughter @avaloni3 and I SCREAMED at the top of our lungs!!! Thank you, Martha, for inspiring us!! We loved you in your season of #GBBS and have been following and rooting for you ever since!! Thank you for making our day!!! 🙏🏻❤️ #fangirl #thankyou #motherdaughterbaking.”
For those who may not know, Collison is a British baker and recipe writer. In 2014, at the age of 17, she appeared on The Great British Bake Off as the show’s youngest competitor.
She writes a weekly column and does baking demonstrations at festivals and other baking events. She can be seen in YouTube videos and has brought awareness to human trafficking. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
