Very excited!

Paul Hollywood does piss me off tbh, but I love seeing all the cakes & stuff. Will probably have to make something to eat whilst watching it though...

GBBOers! I won first prize for my Victoria Sponge in the village show! Everyone keeps saying I should apply for GBBO 2014 but there is the small matter of a repertoire that starts and finishes with cake. Hmm

I am the same Vivi. I make bloody good cake. And that is about it.

Grin There's only so many ways I could reinterpret my Raspberry Picnic Cake to shoehorn into the various weeks' specialisms... Don't think I could spin it out across an entire series even if I didn't come unstuck on bread week. I'd have been a ninja at the trifle tho...

Raspberry Picnic Cake. Ticks all my boxes ??

Not sure where the question marks came from. It was meant to be Cake

Exit here you go - Raspberry Picnic Cake. I't my all-time favourite recipe and really does travel well...

ExitPursuedByADragon · 10/09/2013 16:44

That looks lush. Now I need an excuse to make it.

Howard is the new Alan Bennett and also reminds me of a particularly lugubrious Aardman Animation character Grin

I rather like him.

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 19:52

oooh - kids in bed, cuppa and some bourbons! Bring on the tarts - and the baking, fanaar Grin

Seriously upset - having reached episode 3 I though there would be no contest on whose choice it was for the TV, relaxing GBBO or footie. Screen is a picture of red, yellow and green - sooooo not happy

farrowandbawl · 10/09/2013 20:03

I love this show, perfect autumn viewing.

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:04

i love the 10 second intro to the bake... a firm favourite if her boyfriend, guiseppe Grin

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:08

FFS Frances... this is now soooooo old!

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:17

Woof to Kimberly's pie! Could this finally be her week (bit premature maybe!)

HA HA Frances!!

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:17

Talking to myself... but i don't care Smile

Does Christine really make that pie EVERY week??!!

OldRoan · 10/09/2013 20:18

Oh I LOVE Kimberley. Was just whining about Frances psyching-out competition with all her lovely art work... I do think it's impressive but maybe she will turn it round now?

Is it me or is Paul being extra-bitchy this week?

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 10/09/2013 20:18

"style but no substance".
well said Paul

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:20

(((hug))) for Christine - kind of love her all of a sudden!

happystory · 10/09/2013 20:22

Custard tarts look difficult......

Brillig · 10/09/2013 20:23

Yes, Kimberley to win, I say.

Frances not to win

OldRoan · 10/09/2013 20:25

Those tarts looked yummy.

PumpUpMyVolume · 10/09/2013 20:30

Nooooo - don't cry Glenn... you're my favourite!
