Bake Off 2019

[Hennysmommy]

Im wondering when its back on the telly? Have googled for an answer but no luck.. But i am useless at internet searches. And i dont buy a tv mag.

[SanFranBear]

Oooh - bara brith with pecans!

[FuzzyPuffling]

So far the contestants don't look awfully diverse.

[Bagadverts]

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

[BooseysMom]

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.

[bookbook]

mmmm - dried fruit - could be chewy ?

[Wolfcub]

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

[Sexnotgender]

I like the snake proving!!

[SanFranBear]

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]

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

[SanFranBear]

David... noooooooooo!

[bookbook]

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

[dementedma]

I like Dan

[bookbook]

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

[bookbook]

rum again .....

[SpanishTiles]

Not keen on Dan's aesthetic 😑

Can't get behind fat free cake 🤨

[JellyfishAndShells]

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]

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

[Sexnotgender]

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

[bookbook]

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

[Sexnotgender]

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

I agree

[BooseysMom]

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

[dementedma]

Wow. Henry!

[bookbook]

iced buns need butter in the middle !

[bookbook]

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]

ah , here they are!
