Great British Bake Off Recap: The Final

Hands up who’s still sporting their I Survived Halloween 2017 Without Prue Leith Ruining the Bake Off Final For Me badge? It’s Channel 4’s debut Bake Off Final and, before it’s even started, someone’s already dropped a clanger (and it wasn’t Kate this time). It’s a shame, although it did …

Great British Bake Off Recap Semi Final: Patisserie

It’s the semi-final of the Great British Bake Off, and in honour of the occasion Noel is urging a chicken called Michael to lay an egg. You know, I really wasn’t sure going into this, but I really have come to appreciate Noel as a Bake Off presenter. Not sure …

Great British Bake Off Recap E8: Forgotten Bakes

It’s forgotten bakes week on the Great British Bake Off so it’s very on theme that I would rather forget this week happened. Yes, I am having a tantrum. Liam is crowned King of Everything and Stacey finally gets told off for baking a paper pie, the end. I SAID …

Great British Bake Off Recap E7: Italian

Did Noel just make a joke about Paul being a tosser while dressed as a strawberry? It’s Italian week on the Great British Bake Off and already it’s looking intense. Seemingly trying to make the challenges more authentic, the good old British weather has come out to turn the tent …

Great British Bake Off Recap E6: Pastry

It’s pastry week on The Great British Bake Off, and I brace myself to start sobbing over someone’s unflaky pastry. Prue makes a surprise appearance on this week’s intro, which has Sandi in a rowing boat with Noel dressed as a tiger in an homage to ‘Life of Pi’. Pi, …

Great British Bake Off Recap E5: Puddings

Is everyone aware of Paul Hollywood’s Twitter profile picture? Because it’s terrifying. It’s pudding week, the gooiest of weeks, and we open with Sandi teaching Noel how to correctly frolic in a field of buttercups to set the mood. We’re getting to the point now where I can identify all …

Great British Bake Off Recap E4: Caramel

Before we’ve really begun to recover from Flo leaving, it’s Bake Off time again and we’re ushering in a new era; it’s caramel week, and no one knows quite what to expect as it’s the first in Bake Off history. Helpfully, we’re shown a clip of the show ahead, and …

Great British Bake Off Recap E3: Bread

Before we begin today’s recap, I would like to share the fact that I began my morning with a Twitter exchange with Selasi from Bake Off 2016 (aka the best contestant to ever grace the tent). We swapped lyrics to ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’ and my heart was happy. …

Great British Bake Off Recap E2: Biscuits

It’s biscuit week on Bake Off, and possibly the most difficult and demanding week two we’ve ever seen. Everything is about uniformity, and seemingly a gazillion different working parts. This week’s episode opens with Sandi giving us a linguistics lesson on the origins of the word ‘biscuit’, while Noel scoffs …

Great British Bake Off Recap E1: Cake

Great British Bake Off fans have been on the edge of their stools since the announcement that the nation’s favourite show about cakes and innuendo was moving to Channel 4, and wouldn’t be taking Mary Berry, Sue Perkins or Mel Giedroyc with it. There was an incredible amount of pressure …
