GBBO 4th thread - Will it be Ruby Tuesday in Final Week?..

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

...or will Kim Joy claim the title? Will Rahul nail it with a bake they DO have in India?

It’s anyone’s to lose.

Or Butterplätzchen?

you beat me to it Sneaky - and my DH found the cake I made this morning too - luckily , the twin to it is safe in the freezer.
Getting myself settled and ready for tonight .:)

ooh - mine was banana cake too btw!

All this cake photography makes me hungry.

I am a Kim Joy fan as I think she brings something unique and imaginative to her baking, but I like all three of them - I've really enjoyed this series, the bakers have all been lovely.

I have to take DS to footy training

HOWWWWWL 😩

Evening gang

Has anyone else seen this?
It made me a bit 😢 😢 😢.
Dear Terry....

Italianna, yes ,sadly the Pottery Throw-down has been axed. Sewing Bee is coming back, but with Joe Lycett instead of Claudia W. I'm reserving judgement.

Joe Lycett on Sewing Bee? Hmmmm, not sure about that. I shall reserve judgement. Any idea when it will be on telly?

Nooooo Nikita. I loved the pottery throwdown

That's lovely eldeeflower where did you find it?

My Ds2 made Twitter friends with the deaf lady Linda on Sewing Bee a few years ago. She mentioned him in an interview she gave...

Terry asked GBBO to post it on their social media as he doesn't use it.

LimpyLampy I've someone in a friendship group that's like KJ, everyone else in the group thinks she's adorable, even though she's done a couple of things I think are disgusting (mainly involving other people's boyfriends) but what she did was JUST on the side of "possible misunderstanding" so that + her cutesy presentation have made people very forgiving to her. Me - NEVER trusted her! Even before that stuff happened and still don't trust her, won't even have her as a FB friend. She's married VERY well but I think even that was calculated. Just do NOT trust her at all.

Definitely ruby to win for me, she's someone I'd probably be friends with in real life, though of course she may not like me 😂

Italianna - I too remember big bro being a "social experiment" and castaway 2000 which set Ben fogles career going. Both really interesting programmes but castaway was canned and big brother turned into a weird X-factor for the talentless!

Delores - I can assure you being a mh worker does not necessarily mean someone is a good person! Frankly I'm with one of my very honest cpn's who said the staff are often more screwed up than the patients! If I were assigned her I'd request a change, I just don't find her sincere and I suspect I'd end up supporting her more than the reverse! She doesn't seem properly robust enough for the job. Pollyanna types tend to burn out quite quickly. Weirdly I bet ruby would be good at the job as she'd be sympathetic and supportive while also being proactive and encouraging.

Lovely letter from terry.

Red chocolate chip cakes?

Did you make those grems? I take it the red isn't beetroot 

Getting settled in early!

I think the problem with Paul's judging /criticism is that he seems to have forgotten that the bakers are amateur (albeit very good) self taught bakers who have other day jobs. He is judging them like he is in a restaurant, judging a meal that he's paid £100 for.
He's taking it as a personal affront if the standard is not perfection.

If they gave them a wee bit more time, it would be so much better, we could see finished properly decorated bakes

Made all three things I posted today Vanilla!

It's just food colouring!

So if anyone was wondering what happens next....

Oh! Thanks Gremlins

Mmmm - smells lovely!

Saw it on Twitter elderflower

I'm not clever enough to post a picture of it, but I thought it was a lovely letter from a very gentlemanly man.

right here we go folks!

Sooo excited . . .
