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!

it feels a bit like the chat we'd have if we were all in a room watching Bake off together!

😂😂😂

Custard!! Here we go...

Yum. I love custard!

I'd love the poached meringue part of floating islands. I wish the floated in jelly not custard.

More booze 🙄

This signature has been a technical in the past I think...?

I think so Lemon.

It's a bit boring for a signature.

Egg custard tart would have been more interesting

Evening !! I'm not a fan of custard but interested to see what they do.

Or custard slice

Evening.

Not sure I'm much of fan of something which you are supposed to barely notice you are eating but which has all the calories of actual food.

All the custard seems thin, is it meant to be for this type?

Yes because the floating is meant to be the trick.

Oooohhh staggered technical!

I feel they're stretching the definition of 'custard'

What they’re making is all very nice but this is meant to be a baking show! Haven’t seen any baking yet!

Custard ice cream?

Interested in staggered start-how big will gaps be?

oh baker 2 joining now.

I would find it so distracting to keep hearing instructions

There's so many custard bakes they can do.

Already 2 that have never made ice cream before

Is Pastel de Nata a custard bake ? I love those despite my dislike of custard.

yeah I'm sure what the staggered/timed bake supposed to do?

It feels like taking an exam that people keep coming in and leaving room.

Very fraught for bakers and I'm not sure to what end

It does say in big red letters not to confer with other bakers

This just seems to be the machines round.

I'm guessing because it's ice cream they don't want the others melting whilst waiting to be judged
