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!

Woooohoooo BUNS!

LemonRedwood · 07/10/2015 20:04

Ooh, iced buns. Yum!

TheSpottedZebra · 07/10/2015 20:06

Tamal so so pretty.
But I think I want Nadiya to win.

GrouchyKiwi · 07/10/2015 20:07

Oooh, Trills, that Battenberg is making me hungry and I have literally just finished dinner.

Looks like a decent set of challenges today, I think.

Not sure who I want to win.

CrotchetQuaverMinim · 07/10/2015 20:08

stop talking to Ian and let him get on with it then, if you think he has so much to do!!

Roussette · 07/10/2015 20:09

I'm a Tamal fan... I sort of like them all, but I do think Tamal is consistent and I don't like the sherbet/bubblegum thing Nadiya does.

CrotchetQuaverMinim · 07/10/2015 20:09

It's kind of 2 against 1, isn't it. Nadiya and Tamal seem friendly with each other.

CrotchetQuaverMinim · 07/10/2015 20:10

They're so nice to Nadiya! I do really like her, but they are much nicer to her than the others, always have been.

DD2 just said, "Oh iced buns are not choux pastry, does that mean they are sock pastry"

LOL Grin

Kampeki · 07/10/2015 20:12

Nadiya or Tamal to win! Not keen on Ian, though I will grudgingly admit that he is a good baker!

dementedma · 07/10/2015 20:12

I like Ian!!

TheSpottedZebra · 07/10/2015 20:13

Oh, see, Ian IS a sweetie, he was being lively with Sue there.

Just Nadiya and Tamal have especially clicked I think.

TheSpottedZebra · 07/10/2015 20:13

Lovely not lively.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/10/2015 20:14

We are Nadiya fans over here.

TheSpottedZebra · 07/10/2015 20:16

Nadiya surely won this round?

Roussette · 07/10/2015 20:17

yuk to brown icing, really doesn't look good

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/10/2015 20:17

Gentle, feminine hedgerow-raiding soul. Love it.

Kampeki · 07/10/2015 20:17

Nadiya is just adorable. I love her facial expressions!

TheSpottedZebra · 07/10/2015 20:17

Ahh, lovely, honest Ian.

GrouchyKiwi · 07/10/2015 20:17

Ian's very honest! I'd not have mentioned that.

Obs2015 · 07/10/2015 20:21

'Nadiya' running away with it!!

GrouchyKiwi · 07/10/2015 20:22

Oooh, harsh, Paul.

Roussette · 07/10/2015 20:23

milefeuille... notoriously tricky. I made them ONCE!!!

It stands for... a thousand sheets.... (of pastry!)

GrouchyKiwi · 07/10/2015 20:26

I'm impressed, Roussette. I love to eat millefeuille, but I'd never in a million years make them.

CrotchetQuaverMinim · 07/10/2015 20:27

It's a mind-reading game really, not a baking challenge half the time.
