Oooh - bara brith with pecans!

FuzzyPuffling · 27/08/2019 20:09

So far the contestants don't look awfully diverse.

Bagadverts · 27/08/2019 20:10

Think what Paul says is the problem - expecting standard to get better and better. Instead the challenges are harder or rare or basic challenge, not enough time for the bakers to complete properly

Hurrah! Can't wait to see my hero Noel back with his crazy shirts! I wonder if he'll be wearing different boots this year..last year i think he wore his gold ones on every episode!

Never mind the baking ...we want Noel!

Ever so pleased that they are showing it later in the year this time as the kids are back at school next week. Looking forward to an hour of indulgence without interruption! Does anyone save a cake especially to eat whilst watching? Or is it just me?! I have a Waitrose iced bun..has to be Waitrose. No others come close.

mmmm - dried fruit - could be chewy ?

Wolfcub · 27/08/2019 20:10

Nooo no no we do not feed people bread warmed by snakes. Just no

Sexnotgender · 27/08/2019 20:11

I like the snake proving!!

SanFranBear · 27/08/2019 20:12

Booseys - I've also got iced buns but mine are Aldi specials (I'll eat any iced fingers, my absolute favourite - well, except for Paul's as he has loads of cream in the middle! Why would you do that??!)

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:13

not more rum . I really , really don't like rum in cakes ...

SanFranBear · 27/08/2019 20:13

David... noooooooooo!

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:13

I have a bit of my daughters millionaires shortbread left from yesterday - that'll do me Grin

dementedma · 27/08/2019 20:14

I like Dan

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:14

ah - the bundt tins are a good idea to cook more quickly

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:15

rum again .....

SpanishTiles · 27/08/2019 20:16

Not keen on Dan's aesthetic 😑

Can't get behind fat free cake 🤨

JellyfishAndShells · 27/08/2019 20:17

Where’s the grandmother who confidently turns out all the standards without recourse to a recipe, whilst having several other hobbies and wrangling many grandchildren ?

All a bit samey so far.

Wolfcub · 27/08/2019 20:17

I sense there are a certain number of contestants who are going to get right on my tits this year

Sexnotgender · 27/08/2019 20:17

I’m eating aldi’s Coconut mini bites, like little snowballs. So moreish!

Sexnotgender · 27/08/2019 20:18

I agree Confused

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:18

a lot of young men instead Jellyfish - maybe the grandmas were all busy!

BooseysMom · 27/08/2019 20:18

This is sounding very much like the Drunken Bakers from Viz mag! Rum a favourite of theirs.

@SanFranBear.. exactly! cream in the middle is a totally unecessary addition that is only for do-nuts Confused

dementedma · 27/08/2019 20:19

Wow. Henry!

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:19

iced buns need butter in the middle ! Grin

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:20

come on bakers - haven'y you brought your trusty cake skewer to check if its done ( or is it only me who has one? )

bookbook · 27/08/2019 20:20

ah , here they are!
