The Great American Baking Show is actually filmed in England, not the United States.

Main filming location

  • The show is filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, just outside London in the UK.
  • It uses the same iconic white baking tent setup as The Great British Bake Off , recreated on the studio grounds.
  • Contestants travel from the U.S. to film there, typically staying for the full production period of the season.

Heatherden Hall and the grounds

  • The tent and production are set on the grounds of Heatherden Hall , a historic Victorian country house within Pinewood Studios.
  • Heatherden Hall and its surrounding countryside provide the leafy backdrop often seen outside the tent.
  • The location has been used in other well-known productions like early James Bond films and Midsomer Murders.

Why film in the UK?

  • Producers chose Pinewood to preserve the look and feel of the original Great British Bake Off.
  • Judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith have said filming in the same kind of tent and environment helps keep the show’s original atmosphere.

TL;DR: Despite the name, The Great American Baking Show is filmed in the baking tent on the grounds of Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios, just outside London, England.
