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!

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 🧁🍰🍩🍪🥧🥮

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 13/09/2022 13:34

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

Randomword6 · 13/09/2022 14:10

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

jay55 · 13/09/2022 14:18

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

Pixiedust1234 · 13/09/2022 14:20

Thanks for posting. I had no idea!

Talipesmum · 13/09/2022 14:21

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.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 13/09/2022 14:28

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

jay55 · 13/09/2022 15:13

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

chick1014 · 13/09/2022 15:15

Yes!

Talipesmum · 13/09/2022 15:19

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.

bibliomania · 13/09/2022 16:44

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

tootiredtobother · 13/09/2022 16:47

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

BeaLola · 13/09/2022 19:58

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

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

Crinkle77 · 13/09/2022 20:01

WTAF is this intro?

Wolfcub · 13/09/2022 20:01

Evening all

littlbrowndog · 13/09/2022 20:01

Here 🏄🏽‍♂️🏄🏽‍♂️

Karatema · 13/09/2022 20:02

Why do they have to do those stupid starts! 🙄

jay55 · 13/09/2022 20:02

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

littlbrowndog · 13/09/2022 20:03

Cripes don’t show us everything
