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

Bloody hell Sumayah - you've not got a week to this.

I had to google 'paris brest' and look at the images but they look tasty.

Anything that has an edible stand makes me anxious.

Oh Andy please do well. I'd miss you (I wasn't sure of you at first but you've won me over).

Edible stand is pointless - let them focus on the Paris Brest. Never tasted one but I want to!

Oh no, Andy.

Andy's is too precarious the main stand isn't flush to the table

I agree the stands are going to detract from the Paris Brest.

And they are really going to struggle to move them. Usually they bring their showstopper up.

Carrying these to the gingham alter is going to be interesting

Samayah to Noel: "Not a good time. Please move". Go Gen Z!

I agree! There's always a stage where I've come round to them all and don't want anyone to go home but it's usually later in the series. I didn't want anyone to go last week either. A lovely group of bakers this year.

Agreed, I like them all.

Ilyah's looks very nice.

Poor Andy's face in the background. He knows he's going home ☹️

Oh shut up Paul with your "it's a shame it didn't hold up"

Nelly won't be winning star baker.

This show stopper is so hard. Having to concentrate on a brilliant Paris Brest as well as an edible stand is just ridiculous.

I like the look of Gill's.

Gill for star baker?

She's going to be star baker.

It looks lovely.

Andy to go and Gill for Star.

Place your bets!

I think Gill for star baker and Andy to go.

There's not much jeopardy this week on the guessing!
