Junior bake off 2023

[jay55]

Starts today 16/1 at 5pm channel4.

New age range this year which makes a lot of sense.

Hope it's good, I do like Liam and Rav as judges.

I’m sad Penelope has gone. She was my favourite after Lyla and Cole.

I ❤️ Lyla and would like to see her in her own spin-off show.

I've said this before about previous contestants in past series, but both Cole and Humphrey remind me of those old Vauxhall adverts where young lads of eight or so used to swap blokey chat about their cars, sounding about 40, and ended up shaking their heads about their parents being 'overtired' 😂

All my favourites have gone now

All the girls with long hair need to tie it back.

I'm a couple of episodes behind but I really liked Liam's pumpkins in Group 2 bread week so I'm going to try those myself at home.

Surely it’s a shoo in now for tall Alysha?

Penolpe was such fun

i do love this programme

It's never a shoo in for anyone

I think it’s tricky with Bake Off because it’s so easy to just have a bad day and go out/not win. We’ve seen it happen many times in the adult version (Jurgen!)

Three Star Bakers in a row though…?

Congratulations to the winner, but not much of a surprise really. She did very well, althogh I would have liked someone else to have produced a stunner of a showstopper, but it was not to be. I thought all of them did really well though. Very different personalities. Although I find Harry Hill really funny, perhaps I wouldn't be so polite to him if I was busy baking. They tend to be quite calm if things go wrong and shrug them off. I'd be having a meltdown!

I thought it was sad Humphrey went out when he did. Rav saying the sponge was a bit dry on his giant Jaffa cake, when that’s true of normal Jaffa cakes.

The final was a bit boring.

i thought the surf cake was best.

Kitto should have gone yesterday.
