Bake off 2024 ... when will there be buns in the oven?

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

Any news yet on when the new series is due to start?
can we expect the same presenting/ judging line up as last year?
Do we think the Hollywood handshake will return?
And please god no tacky theme weeks

I think Dylan is a more accomplished baker than Nelly. I love them both

Checking in.

It's headwear week...

I'm here! Love a bit of pastry. Got a 7 strand loaf proving in the oven too.

Guess Who board! 🤣

Dylan has suddenly changed his appearance. Editing mistake?

Another hat from Dylan in 10 minutes. WTF is going on?

Hat off again!!

Meringue on frangipane seems like an unnecessary addition but presumably they've been told to "elevate" their tarts.

Georgies look the yummiestv

The technical is going to be filo, isn't it?!

Yes

Bingo! You've got it!

Called it!

My TV signal is playing up - Who did good tarts? Who stuffed up?

Georgie and the one we said was like a scout leader did well.

Andy didn't. But actually several of them didn't.

Thank you!

Ooh this looks tricky.

Andy is at risk this week I think.

Filo is really hard. It ends up really leathery if you over work it but you need to work it to get it so fine. And soggy bottoms are very likely with the spinach. A horrible challenge!

Too many hats.

I couldn't bake in a hat.

That technical was really quick. 10 mins of viewing.

I prefer hats to hair!

@GetSetFake Thanks for the filo info - I haven't a clue.

I agree Andy really needs an amazing showstopper and even that might not be enough to save him unless somebody else messes up.

Mine would have little feta filling, I'd have eaten it.

Dylan throws himself back in the game.

Oh praline..... how I love you.

"Why do we bother with the signature and technical any more?"

Well, Paul, you tell us!
