"I'm trying not to have a favourite straight away.
Unfortunately, my brain is wondering which woman Hollywood will favour and then drag through the press. 
Geography teacher.  "
I'll keep an eye on the lipstick choices.

What was your frosting?
I add some pineapple to my carrot cake.
"
Full fat cream cheese, icing sugar, butter and vanilla essence, topped with walnuts. |

It's not like he holds a grudge or anything.

I had entirely different decisions. I didn't taste the cakes or feel their texture but I listened to their comments and I can't see how they made those decisions. |

"Haven't baked a cake since the kids left home, nobody to eat it, glad it's not on television over here, hopefully it will be finished before I get home "
I've waited seven years for a lemon meringue pie from you. I hope Bake Off pops up on everything you see.  |

I did make one of those earlier this year, we were both home and had friends round. Lack of practice meant it was only pretty good not excellent though. I am mostly home alone, in Germany the kitchen is pretty basic, cooking is not something my wife does.
Lose the bike to the shipping company next Tuesday, fly home via 10 days in Germany Thursday week, so will probably have to watch some of it, then I will want to bake something so will have to be sociable to get rid of it, maybe that's when you get your pie |

“And no bloody talking!” As my housemate told our newest female to the house as Bake Off came on. And bloody irritating too.
Tradition upheld.
Was gutted as to who went. Quite fancied them.
Love Noel and Sandi.
Have to buy angel cake now. |

"The wrong ones got booted IMO
It was a surprise. Especially after what happened in the first bake.
A lot of the bakes this series don’t look all that appetising
I’ve gone off bake off ...
 "
I'm not sure the bake themes have conjured up the usual magic. I haven't got a clear person I'm cheering on, either. |

I'll avoid this thread for a while, as sat in my hotel restaurant having dinner. I'll watch on +1.
But, talking of desserts, on Saturday I made a lime cheesecake with a home made lime jelly topping  |

"Noel wears the most fantastic outfits.
I enjoy his contributions. Wasn't there something about Hollywood finding him annoying?
He's so zany."
Nice new avatar - the photographer captures you well.

"Stephs bomb looked great inside
Got my chops mildly moist"
It had coffee in it so I wasn't salivating. It did look great, though.
She's got to have a week where she doesn't do as well as the others. |

"Never watched bake off. I do like a masterchef/celeb masterchef/masterchef usa, but never ventured to bake off. I assume you guys would recommend it?! "
I've watched every main Bake Off show. I've watched a few of the zeleb one's and one junior one.
I may be a little biased.

"Steph's Hot Cross Buns look delicious.
I'd be very surprised if she doesn't win the series."
She's being very consistent and good. However, this technical looks like she's not sure.

It’s not bake off !!
Just bake a great looking chocolate cake, oozing with runny chocolate and rendered with an inch thick layer of chocolate
No more deep frying pasta dough with ricotta inside ... |

"Sarawak cake? What is this madness?
Looks like something I would have a crack at making.
Do post the picture if you do it. It's way too fiddly for me.
"
I made a tall rainbow cake last year, but that wasn't thin layers lol
I should put some of my cake pics on my profile. Might get more views haha |

You have to have a small bit of you in the picture. If the tip of a cock passes muster I don't see why a hand holding cakes should be rejected.

There's nothing of me in the two they accepted. One rejected one is a cup open version of one they accepted  |

I'm watching on +1, as I was working late. I've already had a friend message me to say there's a new challenge for me to attempt. They were impressed with my Sarawak Layer Cake. |

I looked great.
I think all of the bakes this week would be a new challenge. Good luck!

"Wow!! That was a rollercoaster, felt for Steph but massive well done to David, his show stopper was amazing! "
Her Step-Grandmother indicates that she sabotages herself in her little piece to camera.
