GBBO - Are you ready to bake?

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Guardian article on all this year's contestants www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/aug/16/the-great-british-bake-off-meet-the-2016-contestants

have looked forward to this for months

I am largely listening, not watching, because I am making real life cake!

Omg is it just me wondering if one of the contestants is the original "lemon drizzle murderer" off of classics?!?

Don't put a filling in a drizzle cake. That's not how that works.

Did you see marys face when he mentioned gin

daft ??? maybe but if they have asked or a lemon drizzle how come some arent,or is it used as a base and then they design their own take on it

I do not like Candice.

I can't remember their names. They need name badges like the celebs on masterchef!!

Strange definition of what a drizzle cake is going on here me thinks. Quite like the sound of the G&T cake though.

I'm not keen on a lot of these...too fancy! I agree, what's a filling doing in a drizzle cake?

they're missing the innuendo and the contestants are almost deliberately feeding lines...

"I like the flavour of a Cox" and something else moments later that I was sure they'd run with, but no.

Page 3 of drizzle cakes... The innuendo begins in earnest

I have KitchenAid envy once again!

I love the scientists. Their baking procedures are so absurd.

I would do the MarsLady lemon drizzle cake if I was competing. Yummiest cake ever!

DD1 and I love this. She is the kiss of death though- she likes to draw pictures of the contestants. At least 4 times last year, it was the person who ultimately left.

I miss Tamal, and his syringe method

Why have some of them not done a lemon drizzle cake? Will they be marked down do you think?

One of my nurses is in this series!!! I'm so excited for her!

Not keen on Candice either.
The one I'd love to try is Benjamina's.

I'm afraid I'm getting rather irked by the physical jerks woman.

Or just name on screen every time they are on, yes.

At least for the first few episodes.

Not sure about some of these, but my dear old Mum used to do a mean lemon drizzle, it was delicious, all lemony and crusty on the top with sugar and drizzle

alemonypea the brief was a "drizzle cake", not a lemon drizzle cake.

Am so glad this is back, but am slightly confused as to most of their definitions of a drizzle. Am also loosing track of names.

I don't think they have to do lemon drizzle just drizzle
