have looked forward to this for months

Trills · 24/08/2016 20:10

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

Doublemint · 24/08/2016 20:12

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

Trills · 24/08/2016 20:12

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

RebootYourEngine · 24/08/2016 20:12

Did you see marys face when he mentioned gin Grin

seasidesally · 24/08/2016 20:13

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

JackBauersBag · 24/08/2016 20:13

I do not like Candice.

SheHasAWildHeart · 24/08/2016 20:13

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.

PurpleDaisies · 24/08/2016 20:14

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

CrotchetQuaverMinim · 24/08/2016 20:14

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.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 24/08/2016 20:14

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

Teasgonecoldagain · 24/08/2016 20:14

I have KitchenAid envy once again!

GrouchyKiwi · 24/08/2016 20:14

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

PikachuSayBoo · 24/08/2016 20:15

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

Raahh · 24/08/2016 20:15

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.Grin

I miss Tamal, and his syringe method Grin

ALemonyPea · 24/08/2016 20:15

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

ClaraLane · 24/08/2016 20:15

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

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 24/08/2016 20:16

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

HalsallRedux · 24/08/2016 20:16

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

Trills · 24/08/2016 20:16

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

At least for the first few episodes.

Roussette · 24/08/2016 20:16

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

PurpleDaisies · 24/08/2016 20:16

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

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone · 24/08/2016 20:16

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.

foxessocks · 24/08/2016 20:17

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