Great British Bake Off

[Kaz]

Watching old episodes on UK Food - we do enjoy this programme

[Ally]

Gosh there are some talented bakers in this new bunch!



Dorret's disaster.

[Kaz]

Oooh I can't wait - we'll be saving this as a treat for Sunday afternoon

[Diflower]

There are, aren't there Ally
Picked out some favourites from round one, and the one to go

Poor Dorrett, I was almost weeping with her
Loved it

[Ally]

Thought I'd go for a cherry topped cake in sympathy for Dorret.

Don came through from the kitchen wondering what was going on as I was noooooooing and oooooh noooooo at poor Dorret.

[Workingman]

Loved it. No stand-outs for me so far, but quite a few on the edge of being chucked out.

[Ally]

There are a couple of stand-outs for me WM and the loser was a cert from the first whisk.

Oh and, and...I've made a proper frosted walnut cake
My dad talked one year about them, how they were just walnut, with this white frosting, and I found a recipe - and it was by Mary Berry
So I did it for his birthday
I didn't now it was meant to be tricky - so it wasn't I just did exactly as the recipe said, and made the cake
No caramel though, I'm sure they've added that

[Ally]

I love walnut cake - at Tiede's she makes the most divine walnut cake.

I did laugh at the look on Nadiya's face when she realised everyone else had frosted theirs and she hadn't.

[Diflower]

Mmmmm - walnut bread too
