I'm surprised at how many novels there are set in the world of GBBO-type shows! A few I've read: “Mrs. Quinn’s Rise to Fame” by Olivia Ford, “The Golden Spoon” by Jessa Maxwell, “Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble” and “Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake” by Alexis Hall, and “Battle Royal” by Lucy Parker.
Definitely picking up In Memoriam on your description. I may have to get it in before the end of 2025.
