Mirror glaze - oh so trendy!

I started a new thread not realising this one as ongoing but can't believe not one single person from Scotland applied to take part.

Who told Candice that lipstick was flattering?

Which one is Eddie Redmayne? Is it Andrew (he of the red squiff)?

Middleclass, absolutely. All that pouting with that gopping lipstick is too much!

Have to agree with Average he seems very cocky and like it's all too easy but I am sure that's just me, as I would be running round like a headless chicken making cakes.

I thought Rav was billed as the 'Vegan Baker' ? But he's using eggs. Hmm.

Machetty? Matcha Tea.

Oh Rousette. I agree with you about Michael's eyes.

The old silver fox is seriously behind the hipster curve if he's never heard of matcha-flavoured cakes.

Heads I'm not alone!

Lipstick woman's lipstick is doing my 'ead in

The 90s told her, Raahh.
I had one like that from Miss Selfridge Kiss and Makeup range.

Loved it.

That green sponge looks grim.

oh, so I got it round the wrong way - I thought it was the other way around, that even though they're called a cake, they're classed as abiscuit - not matter, anyway! Genoese sponges always look so tricky.

I'm a sucker for nice eyes!

Oh gosh... disaster looms for some of them!

Anyone else reading the guardian live blog?

Selasi might fall foul of all those ingredients he's missing out.

PurpleDaisies am right there with you how would you know if it had gone off it already looks like mould....

Is anyone else like me and find GBBO the opposite of inspiring? I look at what they make and usually strike it off my list of things to try.

Tom is Eddie Tremayne.

What makes you say that nobody from Scotland applied?

If you mean that nobody from Scotland is ON it, that's within statistical norms.

0/12 (# of Scots on the Bake Off)
is not statistically different to
5.2 million / 64 million (# of Scots compared to UK population)
I got this website to do my maths for me
