Someone put me out of my misery - what are the little conical cakes with a bit of apricot jam on top and sometimes with decimated coconut on them? I’m blanking completely and can’t think why I confused them with madeleines (and google isn’t helping).

I think you mean desiccated coconut (not decimated!) I know exactly what kind of cakes you mean but I can't think of their name either!

You're not wrong, those are English Madeleines. These were French Madeleines.

Thank you - I thought I was going nuts.

The stupid thing is one of my DC loves those French style madeleines and I buy them every time they come home but in my head they are scallop cakes (childhood name).

I love fresh coconut and hate that stuff - to me its always decimated (or desecrated) 😂

Oh dear, Aaron broke the bowl

C8H10N4O2 · 04/11/2025 20:43

Have any of you made a cake that size? Its industrial quantities to juggle time wise.

Florencesndzebedee · 04/11/2025 20:46

Aaron going slightly loopy.

C8H10N4O2 · 04/11/2025 20:48

Is it me or is the edit suggesting Tom in front?

Not sure! Jasmine looks more calm and collected

A glass Kitchenaid bowl seems to break every season - I would refuse to use them!

JewelleryCat · 04/11/2025 20:51

I do like Toms decorations

Itsallabouttea · 04/11/2025 20:52

Tom's looks great

Have we ever seen her different? I don’t know how she does it

I think they probably have to use them because they are more visual. They're not madly practical, they are very heavy.

I wonder what the power surge is during the ad breaks? This must be one of the few non sport things people still watch in real time on TV.

I have a Kenwood and the bowls have always been stainless steel. I’d vaguely assumed that was the norm for heavy duty mixers.

Cismyfatarse · 04/11/2025 20:56

Jasmine for the win!!!!!!

Simonjt · 04/11/2025 20:58

Not personally a huge fan of how Jasmines looks, but I bet it tastes nice.

littlbrowndog · 04/11/2025 20:58

GetSetFake · 04/11/2025 20:58

They're not very exciting cakes are they - just very big.

Who eats all these cakes after filming? Is it the crew?

Itsallabouttea · 04/11/2025 20:59

The size seems excessive

So true. Just big lumps of cakes

Not2identifying · 04/11/2025 20:59

Aw, Aaron looks upset. I feel sorry for him about the bowl.

Yes I would rather a well decorated tiered cake .

Toddlerteaplease · 04/11/2025 21:00

I can’t see how anyone but Jasmine can win. I agree that the size is excessive.
