Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media A delightful blend of makeover magic, culinary art, and entrepreneurial spirit. Nancy Birtwhistle's approachable and knowledgeable presence adds charm and substance, making The Big Bakeover more than just another small business makeover show. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Nancy Birtwhistle is a charming host, and approaches her work here with what seems like genuine curiosity about the business—she’s not barreling in and swearing at staff and owners.

Victoria G I love this show. The host is so sweet and knowledgeable. I especially love your accent! And the carpenter is such a cutie and super kind. They make a great team🩷 it's refreshing to have an experienced baker giving tips to folks on how to improve and be successful without yelling at and belittling them. She doesn't come in and rebrand their business but tweaks what they already have to give it a polished/professional look. With a little boost in knowledge to help the bakeries run like a well oiled machine. The finished products are breathtaking and refreshing. Who cares if it looks staged a little once in a while. She's a baker not an entertainer. Keep helping folks and I'll keep watching! And thankyou for the recipes! Your show not only helps the baker you're working with, but also the baker in all of us viewers at home. Sharing recipes is a super nice touch. I can't wait to watch many many years more! Keep doing what you're doing. Blessing people with your knowledge and care 🩷 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
