Great British Bake Off Series 3

[Slainte]

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

filming in somerset

Huh, I recognise Victoria.

Blimey. Hard challenges so far!

if any of you are on twitter, follow sue perkins and then you can follow all the bakers...(ps twitter is worth is for Sue's tweets alone. When can we get her to do web chat?)

There has been a MN bake off, were several in fact.

I still have my rosette.

I am just not up to speed...sorry

Filmed at Harptree Court

Union jack cake?

DP has just informed me that there is a GBBO iphone app...

they are quite imaginative with final cakes

Christ I'm hungry

there is an iphone app but no ipad. shame

i am ressting going to the kitchen.
wonder what they do with all the cakes when they stop filming

ooo poor Natasha

Loved the blackbirds in the pie...

Imagine being the crew on this..what a job, all that leftover cake.

I wish DP would stop calling Natasha Shrek.

That posh woman reminds me a lot of Alan partridge somehow.

ohh I LIKED natasha I reckon she mixed up the rum babas with beigels 'cos they're in the same shape tins ; that P.E. teacher who was so cocky 'I'm going to win this" FGS with his daffy tomato cake should have gone. HE HE He did you see Paul saltydog enjoy the EXTRA salt that sweater boy put on his tin instead of sugar?

Did anyone notice the shot where Mel looked like she had bunny ears? I think it was when they were about to start the rum baba challenge...

I too hated the idea of the tomato cake (and it looked dreadful). Loved the vicar's wife, the motorway services girl and the good Union Jack man.

And Sue's jokes!

Hmm, tomato cake, why not? I make wicked beetroot and chocolate cake, and reasonable courgette cake, I don't see why tomato couldn't work...

bagels next week and that might be chollah,the plaited thing- I adore that...
I really liked the midwife.

I really didn't like the look of that tomato cake but I'm not much of a tomato fan.

I am excited to see them make bagels next week! I make them from time to time.

Good Union Jack man was really smug ,and poor Cathryn looks so worried all the time .Liked the vicars wife and ds is rooting for Ryan .We didn't see all the cakes at the end.What was the lady consultant's cake like or Brendans

James is my favourite so far, he is aDORable

Also, Victoria and Sarah Jane

It is probably quite alarming just how excited I am by the GBBO, Tuesdays are now my favourite day again!
