Literally every technical challenge. A load of obscure bakes nobody has ever heard of. Was much better when the technicals were Jaffa cakes and fondant fancies.First time commenting on this thread! Love bake off. Agree the standard hasn’t been as high this year but given the circumstances it’s understandable. It’s actually quite refreshing seeing amateur bakers being well, amateurish. Think the right person went yesterday, you can’t serve raw dough and expect to get to the next round!
Came across this and for some reason it made me think of bake off

Agree although I do like seeing new things I’ve not heard of especially if they are pretty to look at. I suppose eventually they will run out of ‘mainstream’ things to bake though so they have to branch out.Literally every technical challenge. A load of obscure bakes nobody has ever heard of.

Same, why ruin a perfectly good* brownie with figs and cheesecake?!I can’t get round the flavours used in most of their bakes, far too fancy for my tastesI know they have to be creative, but I don’t think cardamom, ginger, strawberry and nut cake is for me....
I think Noel and Sandi, now Matt are all a bit too focused on making jokes and being quirky and funny. They forgot to actually give a shit, and there isn't that bit of heart, that bit of warmth you always got from Mel and Sue. I know they weren't everyone's cup of tea, but they just had that bit of heart that was needed when a baker was having a bad bake.Mel and Sue were good. Been watching old series of Bake off and they really did add something to the show.
I thought she was hilarious she was incapable of smiling I loved itI think the right person went I did like sura though. Watching them make the brownies made me so hungry
Me too, brownies are one of my faves.I think the right person went I did like sura though. Watching them make the brownies made me so hungry
They all had a practice kitchen each set up by the production company to practice, but I do still wonder about the ingredients and sourcing etc. I read a while back that during filming they always had runners on standby at supermarkets nearby to purchase emergency ingredients in the event of a disaster and needing more of things. Obviously that won't have been happening, but I wonder like you about the practicing and how that works with ingredients.If they're in the bubble, how are they able to rehearse their bakes? Do they have to order the ingredients in?
