Junior bake off

[Alexis21]

Equal measures of heh ! then awe at the eloquence of some of these children and wow at their baking skills. Puts my baking skills to shame

They are incredible! That rainforest cake was amazing.

I was a bit yuck and heh at the cake with the brains on top !

They were so calm and resilient when things went wrong - that impressed me as much as their baking.

My favourite bit was when the little ginger lad asked the girl if she’d remembered to grease her baking trays, sending her into a panic because she hadn’t. As soon as he’d turned away he gave out a cheeky cackle of laughter! You wouldn’t get anything that unsubtle on the regular bake off

He was also really kind when the girl who was upset when her cake broke got good comments - and he’s got amazing eyes!

Just watching now I had never heard of English madeleines either and I'm surprised they're called madeleines there are a few similar cakes I can think of.

Felt so sorry for the lad who dropped his cakes!

I am amazed at some of their baking. If I could bake half as well as some of them I would be happy.

I really like Liam as one of the judges.

The contestants are highly entertaining and I love their self-possession. They're incredibly talented, too.

Loved bread week/day without everyone bowing and scraping to Paul.

The Challah bread looked amazing. Shame the book sculpture wasn't much of a sculpture as I thought she could have had star baker.

The technicals have been so much better challenges than the adult version last series.

They cry much less than the adults do to be honest.,,🤣

They're amazing. I keep hoping they'll inspire DS
I usually dislike Harry Hill but I think he's very good with the DCs.

Harry Hill and in fact all the presenters are much nicer than the adult version presenters. The children are great !

I am definitely preferring junior bake off to normal bake off now. Back to technicals about actual baking and these kids are incredibly talented, loving it.

Absolutely agree. Am enjoying this so much more than the adult version - the judging is kind and constructive, the challenges more realistic and interesting and the contestants are just lovely - supportive of each other, resilient, funny and natural.

I'm loving this, what a lovely bunch of children. I hate it when one of them has to leave though!

They are all so kind to one another - I loved it when Fin was trying to console Sam about his collapsed cake.

Ah, we missed it tonight. Will catch up later in the week.

Last week's brain cake was .

First time I've watched it. The kids manage the stress without any of the adults dramatics.

Loving this series. The kids baking skills are amazing.

Who on earth picked Harry Hill as host though. Hes dreadful!! The kids have no idea what the hell hes talking about most of the time and hes must cringe worthy

Love how everyone pitches in if someones struggling to finish

It's good though to be fair some of the contestants are not THAT young. Does anyone know why poor Prue is on crutches? I've only started watching recently.

I'm loving Harry Hill as host but finding Liam irritating as a judge. But then it is aimed at children so I'm not the target market.

ppeat Prue is on crutches as a result of an accident when filming GBBO. I think it was when she was dressed up as the Cowardly Lion, and tripped up.

I thought she said something like ‘I tried to jump and when you’re my age that’s not a good idea’ ?

Gosh Eliza is a good baker!

I think the kids not knowing what Harry Hill is on about is kind of the point. It's knowing and aimed at us, the adults. I think he's great on it and am so impressed with the children. Liam seems much less determinedly wacky than when he was a contestant.
