Baking ustensils

 

Hey guys, 

 

I've just spotted that the contestant for this year's Great British Bake Off have now been revealed, which got me all excited for the upcoming series!

 

It's a great wholesome and delicious show that I love to watch, and I was wondering if any of you guys follow it too? 

 

Let me know how you like it, what your favourite themed week is, if there's any new theme you'd like to see, and if there's any contestant from the list you're looking forward to getting to know more through their baking creations!🧁🥖🍰🥧🥐

 

I always get really inspired while watching the Bake Off, so I might be using my oven and bringing more baked goods to the office during that time, and maybe share some pictures of what I make with you all as well if you'd like slight_smile

@Cleoriff Makes sense thumbsup As I'm only the last one to catch-up, I'll be spoiler-tag free then innocent

 

@Mi-Amigo I think next week is ... maybe Festival week? I briefly saw some costumes and colours before turning the TV off.

It's Festival Week for the next episode. A first for GBBO.... Should be good.

@EmilieT and @Cleoriff 

Festival Week? That sounds like it could be really good... No doubt the technical will be a real challenge [and I think it`s Paul`s turn to choose it]. 

As for who might struggle, Henry will, no doubt, try and bounce back, but not sure who else might find it hard...

Hi @Cleoriff and @EmilieT 

I`ll be watching this week`s GBBO on catch-up on Wednesday, so will post after that under spoiler.

Have either of you got your favourites for the winner yet?

@Mi-Amigo I think Steph and Alice have good chances, and Michael might make it to the last few contestants too. I quite like Henry, he's funny and has good ideas slight_smile

Thanks @EmilieT 

Early on, I thought Steph had the edge and would walk it, but now I think Alice could give Steph a run and be in with a chance, with Henry as the outside bet.... So, at the moment, my three for the final are Alice [to win]; Steph [second]; Henru [third].

I do like Alice. I think she has been undermarked...and felt she should have got star baker last week. So I hope she gets it this week. I also like Steph and Henry....
