Where There's Cake, There's Hope...Bake Off 25

[GetSetFake]

The new series starts on Tuesday 2nd September and the bakers have been named. A few weeks earlier than recent seasons, so taking us nicely from late summer through to the cosiness of autumn.

No change to the team of Paul, Prue, Noel and Alison, which I thought worked well last year - it was a warmer and kinder programme than it has been for a few years.

The usual eclectic mix of contestants, but less of an age spread than some years - a lot of 30 somethings, no-one under 20 or over 60.

Anyone else excited for this season?

All the adverts lose the vibe on the programme

too much adverts

Soooo many adverts and ad breaks

It might taste good but the texture would probably be puddingy.

Did Iain make the cars or were they pre bought?

It seems to have been OK in the end.

Saved it

Love the blue sea on Nadia’s cake …. Oh maybe the look not the taste and texture then

Oooh I do like a black forest cake.

Now that is a cool cake

If you're going to do a victoria sponge, it's got to be perfectly done.

Why is the show still not on catch up?

Laighton might be in trouble

So glad Natalia's is delicious! Looks great. And if I had to go to someone's for tea and cake it would be Lesley - that looked delicious, really well baked and not gimmicky

It finishes at 9:30pm so it might no be on catch up until the show finishes

I like toms the best

I'm thinking it's between laighton and Toby for going home

Looks so nice

Hes redeemed himself from the technical

Tom. Jessika or Natalia for the win this week?

Leighton to go?

It was very sharp looking. So neat and that must be tough when doing a landscape

Well done Nataliia!

Yay Nataliia 🎉

yay

Wow! Hassan. Not expecting that. And neither was Laighton

Poor Hassan. Because his baking wasn't that bad, it was the presentation that was below par.

Correct decision for both star baker and who is leaving
