    I don't know about you, but I'm positively thrilled that Great British Bake Off returns this week — the new season premieres today in the UK, with the new episodes coming to Netflix in the US on Fridays.

    In honor of the show's return, I was checking back in with the quarterfinalists from all 10 seasons of the show on Instagram, which proved (pun intended) to be an absolutely delightful activity.
