Great British Bake Off starts Tuesday 13th September

[5foot5]

I couldn't see an existing thread on this, apologies if there is and I missed it.

Anyway, as it says in the thread title. New series starts tonight.

Yay!

I'm so excited. I have purchased cake.

Contestants, several of the men look the same to me so hope a couple go early to confuse me less.

Am hoping pink haired lady is not an I'm mad me type.

@jay55 no bright haired lady will compare to Lizzie🥰

Looking forward to it (though might not be able to watch until the weekend).

I cannot think of anything more boring than looking at other people bake a cake

I would guess it's more exciting than posting on threads you don't care about.

@jay55 and there was I thinking your link was to the cake you bought! Good write up though. I am very much looking forward to it starting again, though haven't made a cake for tonight yet 🧁🍰🍩🍪🥧🥮

Thank you @5foot5 I had thought it was next week. Luckily I have cake in as a staple. 🤣

Does anyone know what the theme is this week? Been looking on the website etc but can't find it.

Cake week.
They have to make 12 perfect mini cakes.

Thanks for posting. I had no idea!

Very excited! Did you see the first episode is 1.5 hours though? That’s a lot of cake. I think I’ll cope though.

@Talipesmum just enough time for several mugs of tea and a selection of cake. Eaten with enjoyment and not rushed.
Perfect!

@Alphabet1spaghetti2 sounds like the perfect cosy evening. Just what's needed.

Yes!

We were going to watch yesterdays house of the dragon tonight, but I wouldn’t be able to relax knowing I’m watching deadly dragons and brutality when I could be watching fairy cakes. Maybe we can fit both in if we are efficient!

Thank you, don't think I can Bakealong with that one, but maybe will attempt muffins.

This is just what I need! Need to acquire some cake pronto....

my paper today says that the Four Presenters ( why do we need four) are doing some sort of 'skit' introduction that will take up Baking time for gods sake

1.5 hrs to allow for adverts (no need when on BBC )

I have heard there's a custard week this year !

WTAF is this intro?

Evening all

Here 🏄🏽‍♂️🏄🏽‍♂️

Why do they have to do those stupid starts! 🙄

Evening.
I wish I'd taken the advice to skip the skit.

Cripes don’t show us everything
