Couldn't see a thread on this already so just posted to say it is back on Tuesday 28th August.

Less than 2 weeks to go. Yippee!

hahaha- green pond cake ...

I'm feeling very grumpy, first we had biscuit week for week one, and now it's cake week and the technical looks like something that came out of a swamp.

ASlowRegardOfSilentThings · 04/09/2018 20:32

Quite the variation in colours...

bookbook · 04/09/2018 20:32

well, they look better with the flowers ..

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2018 20:34

Jesus - the Crisp woman's looked RAW!

@southeastdweller LOL Grin

Don’t mind me, just jumping in. Made cookies this afternoon, wait for it, wait for it... without burning them Shock quite fancy myself a bit of a bake off profesh, so I do. Wink

I have a bit of a crush on Ruby.

RebootYourEngine · 04/09/2018 20:35

I quite like Jon.

bookbook · 04/09/2018 20:35

Karen doesn't seem to be doing well

southeastdweller · 04/09/2018 20:37

Unless she does great in the showstopper, I think Karen's out this week.

My first ID card was similar. Blush

I accidentally not really sat on it so I could have a new one.

Livedandlearned2 · 04/09/2018 20:38

Jon's from my neck of the woods. He was in the local paper. I like him ( so far )

bookbook · 04/09/2018 20:39

she doesn't seem to have a great depth of baking knowledge. I don't make genoese sponge but I do know what you are supposed to do to make them

viques · 04/09/2018 20:39

I know they are edible flowers. But would you? I wouldn't. Cold flabby petals don't go with lovely cake IMO. Put the flowers in a pretty vase on the table where they belong.

Ruby seems to be a stroppy madam......

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2018 20:40

I don't much like Karen - she looks well 'ard.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2018 20:41

I thought that Elderflower - much insubordinate muttering.

AngeloMysterioso · 04/09/2018 20:41

Take your fucking cardigan off then Hmm

Bubblysqueak · 04/09/2018 20:41

Surely if you were going on bake off you would watch previous series that all include Genoese cake. Why hadn't she learnt how to make them before appearing on the show.

Bubblysqueak · 04/09/2018 20:42

I like Jon and Bryony.

LemonRedwood · 04/09/2018 20:42

Why has Paul put Terry in the danger zone? His signature was praised and he wasn't as awful as Karen in the technical. I think he's prejudiced because of last week.

MarthasGinYard · 04/09/2018 20:43

Terry
Noooooooooooo

Scary

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/09/2018 20:43

Moustache sounds ambitious - I hope it works.

bookbook · 04/09/2018 20:43

Bubbly - ditto - they seem to have a better handle on most of the baking

AngeloMysterioso · 04/09/2018 20:43

Noel's so fucking random!

RebootYourEngine · 04/09/2018 20:43

I wouldnt call the eiffel tower a chocolate collar
