Great British Bake Off Series 3

[Slainte]

I'm so excited, the new series starts next week . Link

Pineapple and passionfruit looks stunning

Tomato thing is yuck

I'd love to try the tomato one as I don't have a sweet tooth.

very brave. oh dear.

I nearly forgot this was on. Have the book already, tried one of them last week and it was a mess (a yummy mess, but not anything like the pic) so waiting to see what I done wrong. .

The pretty elfin brunette reminds me so much of Lexi from Grey's Anatomy.

I wish they'd share what exactly are the 'basic instructions' the GBBO-ers receive, so that we can try to imagine what we'd do.

Lol at "it's a real fillip"! How posh is she?

Right. Natasha must be on MN also. Come to us Tash.

Loving it!!

YY HazeltheMcWitch I wish we could see the sheets they're given!
This would generate either sympathy or rampant criticism

A bain-marie?
to bake a baba.

I have a fear of yeast based baking.

Dr Lady had one of the GBBO books in pride of place there...

The midwife is lovely

Gosh. This IS a hard first technical challenge

salt instead of sugar is a pretty critical mistake.

lots of camp men, no butch ladies...

Pity we can't do a MN bake off.

Could you imagine the chaos?

He's good.
The sweater guy, soaking them upside own.
Got in late, missed the name!

Sweater guy = James from Shetland

secretnutella surely it is not beyond the powers of MN Towers to organize a simultaneous web-bake? We'd have to think of a way of judging though?

Thanks!

Where are they filming it this year?
Will miss the well endowed squirrel.

Yay!
