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

@Mi-Amigo I've never heard of the layered grilled cakes they did int he showstopper this week nor seen them anywhere before, but if @Seahorse does see it at any point in NERO I'd definitely love to know how it is!
I can't remember if Steph came first in a technical before .. but in this overview it seems she did come 1st once in a technical. So did Henry and Alice, our joint predicted/preferred top 3 I believe?

Thanks @EmilieT for the link to the results so far.
It is interesting that in the technical
- Alice won twice [week 2 biscuits; week 6 desserts]
- Henry won twice [week 1 cake; week 3 bread]
- Steph won once [week 4 dairy]
and as to Star Baker
- Alice was Star Baker once [week 2 biscuit, when 1st in technical]
- Henry was Star Baker once [week 7 festivals, when 3rd in technical]
- Steph was Star Baker three times [week 4 dairy, when 1st in technical; week 5 Roarin 20s, when 4th in technical; week 6 desserts, when 3rd in technical]
So it looks like that success in technical goes some way towards being Star Baker.

@Mi-Amigo When looking through everything on this link it made me realise how I really didn't remember who had come in first in technical or got star baker over the weeks

However, I find it interesting that Steph who has been star baker 3 times, is the ONLY one who came 10th in a technical challenge.
Neither Henry or Alice have been as low as that.
*Apologies Alice came 6th (last) in last weeks technical.

Signature: savory - based on a French classic
Technical: multi-layered Moroccan pastry
ShowStopper: pastry tower, showing expertise with pastry and construction

@Mi-Amigo Very intrigued by that signature, looking forward to seeing what it's like ...

With Word Hunt Diamond running, I shall be watching GBBO on catchup tomorrow [Wed] night...
I`m really looking forward to it, as Pastry Week is my second favourite week [after Bread Week], and in my opinion, it is too close to call who will be Star Baker.

The temptation to click on that spoiler tag is strong @Cleoriff ... but I'll have to wait until I've caught up myself!
