GBBO #2 - These bakers are not to be trifled with...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Following on from the first thread (we were getting a bit short on space!).

Pastry week next - it's time for the dreaded soggy bottoms!

Paul doesn't like Ian at all! Not just for the road kill. But they are so much harsher with him than they are with the others. They are much nicer to Nadiya and always try to couch the criticism with nice comments too.

at Matt getting so carried away with the colouring.... Oh... Now he's looking stressed and I feel bad.

Fruit cake is good for nothing but bowel health

I'm from Yorksher, we eat our fruit cake wi' cheese

I must invest in a skewer. I always check my cakes' doneness with a strand of spaghetti.

this is a challenge and a half

Prison Paul has grown on me so much

I also want one of those cake lifters.

Prison Paul seems v nice and supportive to the other bakers.

Is Nadiya that short and Matt that tall?!

Poor old Mat!

Loving the shocked faces today, though.

Good dramatic 'OVEN?!' moment.

I don't believe the Victorians had tennis cakes, it's got Marguerite Patten written all over that shizz

I think Nadiya has it!

Do we think Mat might be going?

Mary has quite high hair today.

Matt's tiny head on top of his tall body mesmerises me but I think his number might be up.

I'm warming to Matt. Am I ovulating? ?

Do your loins quiver when they see Ian?

Prison Paul has the face of a bigwig Victorian industrialist. The sort that would whip his mill workers.

I think Flora's sounds utterly delicious actually.

Ian sounds so sinister when he talks about his ladies finger chopper!

And it pains me to say it but I'm in agreement with Paul about pome-bloody-granate.

Tamal. Yes please. To everything. Sorry DH

I'm not always taken with the showstoppers but I'd definitely like to eat one of these Russian Charlotte things.
