Due to this unusual hobby, which may soon appear in the hit TV show, the Bake Off contestant has over 400k TikTok followers.
The Great British Bake Off returns to screens tonight, with a new batch of 12 contestants all ready to be introduced in the first episode. While this will be the first step into the spotlight for most of the bakers, one is already famous thanks to his peculiar hobby.
Iain Ross, 29, a Belfast baker, only started baking in his early 20s, but has already amassed over 400k TikTok followers. Iain uses edible foot coloring to paint musicians’ faces and album covers onto his baked goods in his videos, which have received millions of likes.
Taylor Swift, Queen, Oasis and more have all been painted on to a variety of baked goods, but most commonly bread. “It’s a really fun hobby to have a clash of worlds,” Iain told BBC Radio Ulster. “I have my baking and my love of music so I try to marry the two together the best I can.”
After he posted the news that he was joining the next series of Bake Off to his Instagram and TikTok, Iain’s fans flocked to the comments to share their excitement. One wrote: “This is so epic, I’ve been following you for so long, congrats!”
Another person praised Bake Off’s “best music taste ever, and you’re amazing at baking.” Iain was also requested to provide his distinctive artistic decoration for the performance.
Iain will probably make it to Bread Week, but the teaser for the first episode reveals a struggle for the Irish baker. Iain is attempting to repair his tent’s broken cake in the “first look.”
He is reportedly heard saying, “Oh God! ! ! ” while eating his chocolate cake. Oh no ! It has simply disintegrated. In an effort to put the cake back together, he is shown how to scrape bits from the tray.

The presenter made fun of the footage when it first appeared on Lorraine Kelly’s talk show and that it hasn’t been a good year for the baker.
Iain himself has described his time on the show as “chaotic”, telling the BBC that he thinks it will make good TV.
He said, “The word that comes to mind is chaotic.” “I have a lot of plates spinning at a lot of times, and I think it’ll make for good viewing, but I’m not very good with multiple plates spinning,” he said.
Iain and his fans may have had a hard time figuring out how to do it in tonight’s episode. Paul Hollywood quotes cake that “looks like it fell out of a tree,” and wonky cakes, over-baking, and other things in the Cake Week teaser.
Before the show began, Bake Off host Alison Hammond asked viewers to be supportive of the bakers, as it can be difficult when bakes go wrong. In a video message, she told fans: “It’s a magical experience they’ll never forget. What you don’t see at home are all the hours of hard work they put in behind-the-scenes.”
“So, it can really hit hard when something goes wrong in the tent.” They are all genuine people who love baking and make an effort to please everyone. So, please keep in mind that while sleeping on a couch at home, it may seem simple.
Tonight at 8 p.m. on Channel 4 will be The Great British Bake Off.
