Bake Off 24 Part Two: a meltingly light and fluffy thread taking us all the way to the final.

The last thread filled up fast in a heated debate about Alison's acrobatic antics. Join us here for the last two episodes.

Whose patisserie will carry them through the semi final and who will experience the frustration of missing out on the final 3? Will anyone fall off a stool, workbench or just trip over their own feet? Will the finalists surpass their previous efforts or will the last showstopper be a series of damp squibs? Not long to find out.

@BoneTiredandWired,

OK, you lovely lot, as the last thread closed abruptly in a flurry of slightly narky posts about Alison's acrobatics, there wasn't a chance to link to a new thread. So I have laboriously gone through the last few days of the thread and cut and pasted all the active user names - hope it works.

You can repay me (and the lovely HobNobsWantsHerNameBack, who kindly started the original GBBO24 thread) with lots of comments, speculation, facts, gossip, opinions and hopefully a minimum of arsiness and personal criticism. But hey, if you must, you must - this is Mumsnet after all. Happy Baking everyone.🎂🍰🍪🍩

I can verify that Tesco Finest coffee and walnut is not too bad. We had some at the weekend.

I'm glad Paul called Dylan out in his"waah, it's all rubbish" bs! "Pull the other one mate"

Maybe he'll stop whining now.

Having second thoughts about baking a Black Forest gateau! I’m a competent baker but the recipe does seem a bit of a faff with all the cherries and kirsch.

Has anyone baked one and was it a faff?

cuddlebear · 14/11/2024 12:48

Thanks @GetSetFake

I missed any nastiness about Alison. I love her, and think she’s great.

Urgh what a shitty thing to say.

Alcohol ruins puddings for me :(

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 14/11/2024 16:23

I personally think Alison had helped bring out the lighter side in not just Noel but Paul and Prue too.

No disliking Mary, but Prue has a slightly different sense of humour and plays along with the others more too.

Even in Big Brother Alison was like this so it isn't fake. She broke a blooming table and then told Big Brother she "could probably bend it back"!
