Anyone going to watch Bake Off creme de la creme?

[Cocolepew]

Yes - me

Ooh what's that? Sounds right up my street!

Me too!

Me! Though I heard (possibly the chef from it - the dc were chatting) that it isn't really like the bake off but it looks like some amazing cakes so I am in!

some info

Ooh yes, will definitely give that a go!

Tom (who I'm not sure I like) has said he's not tasting. But he's there as the presenter, not a judge. So as to not put the weight back on.

So he won't be the new Greg Wallace ie terrifying tasting faces, alas.

I'm in! Hi all

I do prefer amateurs I admit but looking in to see what it's all about...

Are they in teams? It isn't individual then....

I'm in

Have massive respect for Tom Kerridge since he did a puff pastry "pizza" and smothered it in bovril!

I'm watching but my battery is nearly flat so might have to catch up with the thread later.

So Graham with the stuck up hair is a dead ringer for Dustin Hoffman...

Ooh, the Grove, that's near me. Didn't realise it was 5 star and didn't particularly rate their afternoon tea when we last went
Couple of years ago now though

I want to test M&S cakes

God I'd love that choux pastry thing.... love love love eclairs and profteroles

I'm a bit bored already - it's just sugary showing-off, isn't it? I prefer 'normal cake' I think.

And Tom sounds v disengaged, like he's reading a phone book or a list of computer componentry.

Yes, it's not like GBBO... this is all about poncey stuff and big egos

I like TomK too but he is a bit robotic and not exactly a natural

Just checking in... Had high hopes for it but no sure about this team concept...

I missed the very start dealing with DS2... How have they formulated the teams?

Did anyone see that documentary about the French pattisieres (sp?) competing for the Kings of Pastry a few years ago? Made this lot look like complete amateurs.

I'm with you. The team element is a bit annoying, I don't think it works.

The 3 people in the teams work together Roz

dreary, i'm v dissappointed

These are teams that work together IRL Roz
