A Total Eclipse of The Tart - The Final Count Down Bake Off 25

[GetSetFake]

Just realised we need a new thread......

Are we looking forward to this?

I really want one of them to raise their game and be a worthy winner. Jasmine shouldn't be able to coast through with more green pastry, raspberries and pistachios. Aaron would be very lucky to win and would have to refine his delivery. Tom would have to be a little less showy and make food that actually makes you want to eat it.

But they are all worthy finalists and I think any of them could win at this point. I have come to like them all but Aaron is my favourite, a bit more down to earth than the other two.

Very much looking forward to it and sad to see the series come to the end.

I do think Jasmine will win unless she has an absolute disaster in the tent but I think Aaron should win because he’s come such a long way

Fully expecting Jasmine to win but I'm going to relax and enjoy what they make.

I don't mind who wins (as long as it's not Tom...)

I think he's come far enough that it wouldn't be an outrageous stretch for him to win if he had a good day. I'd be very happy with that.

Aw, I've warmed to Tom now we've seen him having multiple on screen breakdowns. He did come over as a self important twat initially but I think that's been beaten out of him by the brutal process. It won't feel right if Jasmine wins without ever breaking a sweat.

As its final week im expecting at least one mention of granny!! 😄

...from everyone!

Same

Want Jasmine to win but if Aaron wins then I’m a fine with that

Iced buns, that’s a week one bake not final. hurumph

Love Aaron's shirt!

I was at the recording of The Extra Slice on Saturday and know who won. Keeping the secret for 3 days has been very difficult! So pleased that it is nearly over 😮‍💨

I don’t mind who wins. Don’t really have a favourite which might be a bad thing

I really want Aaron to win but Jasmine more likely (and I’m fine with that). Would prefer not Tom, I simply don’t enjoy the style over flavour type of baking. So far Aaron has consistently had the best feedback on flavour with Jasmine top on quality bakes.

My bias is to flavour over fancy appearance so I lean to Aaron but Jasmine doesn’t overdo the styling and the judges consider her flavours good if not overly imaginative so I’d be happy for either of them.

Plays to Jasmine and the simple but perfect bake

How was the recording? Did you meet Jo Brand?

Brilliant. I’ve been twice before, but not the final.

I think any of them could win so really looking forward to this!!

Oh wow! That’s such hard secret to keep. Especially if people know you went so asking angling questions.

That would kill me! I’d vaguely assumed they recorded Extra Slice on the Wednesday or Thursday after the episode is broadcast.

That was a bit silly Tom

Oh cripes Tom

I was very strict. Not saying who the celebrity panel was either. Didn’t want to get drawn into any conversations….

I have this niggling feeling that all the drahma and “Oh Tom”s in the last few weeks are setting us up for a surprise Tom win.

That was a silly thing to do tom. Did he not notice that citric acid and salt have different consistencies/ textures

Good idea
