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

Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, what a terrible combination.

One who refuses to try any of the baking by choice.
One who refuses to try any of the baking because of weightloss injections.

Why don't they have presenters on who will actually taste the food and be funny about it like Mel and Sue. Why he even got the job when he's a self-proclaimed hater of desserts is a mystery to me, it's like having a vegan judge for a cow show.

Loved Mel and Sue!! Loved it when they did the history bits too

Andy's bag looks great.

Pink hat has over coloured the bag

I

Not seen much of the sewing machine but reckon it will win.

I don't want to eat any of these illusion cakes

The duck is amazing!!

I agree.. and some of them would be lovely if they were cake shaped cakes- and not covered in fondant and food colouring

Agree they should have brought the actual item in to compare side by side. Would be hilarious having a chicken and duck running around 🤣

These show stoppers are amazing for week one! So impressive.

I am dyspraxic so my talents lie in eating cake rather than creating sponge masterpieces.

Alison took a big bit of the handshake cake and ate it didn't she?

I love Noel and Alison. I didn't really like Sandy on this and I hated Noel and Matt, too weird. I feel like it's back to the warm, friendly Bake Off now Alison is on it.

Duck is gorgeous 😍

The duck is amazing. I really like Dylan and Bowls lady, seem very themselves.

The vase is just a big block of cake. I get the flowers are fancy but the cake is a bit unimaginative

Farmer might be saved with those books

"How does Fanny taste guys?"

Oh I think it's going to be Hazel but I hope not

Mike's books look good BUT it's simple rectangular cakes and very simple to do compared to the duck and bags.

No way John!! What a travesty already.

Makes sense due to Jeff going off poorly

Well that's a shock, not.
I enjoyed that. It will take a while to learn names, as always wish they had name badges.

WHAT....

Sorry but did John win that because of his jeans???

I don't think so...
The duck was supreme.

I'm the same! I can never remember their names until much later on. I know call them from their bakes or Thai gap year lad

The jeans cake was rubbish and even Pru said he could have put more detail in the folds. The duck was incredible and she did well in the signature.
