No lack of crimp hre! GBBO 2020 thread 2

Time for a new thread

And @jay55!

I'm the opposite jay55 I think it looks really cute and yummy - the decorated version.

Mid bake these looks like messy lettuce, tomatoes and salad cream 😁

It’s a shrek cake

How do so many of them not know what a crescent is??

Is anyone hearing the odd ‘Narration’. “Laura accidentally knocks some decoration off her cake”.

I think you have audtiodescription (AD) turned on.

Is not all the way through, just about 3 times in the whole show so far...

I can understand Hermine not knowing as she’s French. Dave - no excuse! 😆

Yes it's the audio description! Easily pressed, catches me out sometimes thinking I'm picking up a taxi signal or something

I'm about 10 mins behind.

But do you think they help each other out for the technical challenge?
Those matcha crepe cakes look lovely but I'd have no idea how to make one.

This should have been called Kim Joy week.

Lottie is so obviously Prue’s favourite!

Yes. I thought they looked like one of those sandwich loaf things from the 70s.

I want Hermine to win.

I thought it was supposed to be cute. Hermione's putting a geisha on hers!

“I like looking at things but not putting them in my mouth”

I literally just died 😂🤣

I'm a bit worried about Hermione's interpretation 😬

Sorry to nitpick, but half of these ideas are not remotely kawaii. Particularly Hermine's. Should be cute characters, stuff like Hello Kitty, Pusheen, even Pikachu. Things with big cute eyes.

Poor Laura. I sympathise, I can’t do fondant

The avocado looks quite kawaii, maybe the shuttlecock too? I didn't see the bit just before the ad break so haven't seen any completed cakes yet!

Nothing very appetising today. Nothing that makes me think 'I'd like to try that'.

The matcha crepe cake they made for the technical looked absolutely revolting.

We need to ad concertina to the bingo card

I'd have liked to try Laura's squashed cake. And Lotties but that is as I've never heard of that type of cake and I'm always up for trying new types of cake.

I agree - everytihing looks awful today and I hate cakes that are smothered in fondant icing, seems such a cop-out way to make them look neat.

I like Laura's!

Wasn't quite sure about the shuttlecock, don't think I'd have recognised it as one 😂
It also looked like it had a big pool of white chocolate on the plate that had run off the feathers? They didn't reference that!

I didn't really like the decoration of any of the rest (sorry!)
Poor Mark (?) and his inedible avocado offering!
