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!

Wow, they all look beautiful.

Nadiya's looks great!
Ian's looks pretty good.
Tamal's looks a little on the odd side.

I liked Nadiya's daughter just listing all the cakes she liked.

I loved watching her older brother's embarrassed reaction while she was listing them!

Oh Paul, you are such a joker!

yes, he was very funny!

Very clever with the fondant

Tamal's is bizarre looking! Spectacular, maybe. But looks like a Hallowe'en cake somehow.

Tamal's does look amazing, in a very strange way.

Not sure about Ian's,

I loved Nadiya's. Beautiful.

Sorry but I haven't liked any of Nadiya's signature bakes. I think they look garish and cheap.

Ian's looks a bit upside down, carrot top should be at the top!

Doesn't really look like a carrot, though.

Go Ian...

Sorry don't like any of them from an aesthetic point of view.

Overall today I think Nadiya has done best.

They've all done well on this one. Hooray!

Pretty sure Nadiya will win.

Ian's is the only one that really fits the 'classic British cake' brief though, so I guess it depends how much they are insisting that the follow the brief this time

I think Nadiya too, but Ian is a close second.

I doubt Nadiya's cake is halal though

Yay Nadiya!!!

Ah, fuck it, her family's reaction made me cry.

Awwww the kids!!!

No, mistake Nadiya

Aww, Tamal with Nadiya's kids- so cute!

Tamal and the kids!

Oops, no mistake, Nadiya!
