This task involved the bakers making little slices with three or more layers of either cake, mousse, curd, Italian meringue, buttercream, and so forth. Highlights included a three-handshake signature, Chigs’ glasses getting steamed up AGAIN, Noel’s ‘friend’ Sharky Sharkerson, Noel and Crystelle planning a limbo-off and Giuseppe proving just how Italian he is but saying ‘mamma mia!’ at the end of a task. Honestly, we thought the judges should throw out the rule book and put everyone through to the final. With all the bakers having had handshakes and being named star baker at least once, the expectations were high.Īnd what a week it was. Because the show is doing an Apprentice and moving to BBC One next series.Precision and pressure were the main ingredients in the tent this week as the bakers took on the traditional semi-final, Pâtisserie Week. But the fact that half of the country were trying to match-make a 21-year-old stretched cherub and that middle-aged lothario in the first place is pretty upsetting.Īnyway, get yourselves in the mood for le pain (and the pain) as those four women (who you can see posing on the cover of Radio Times this week) go head-to-head (to-head-to-head) in this, the very last Bake-Off semi-final to appear on BBC Two. Ah, the delicate art of drenching everything in butter, icing sugar and more butter.įrom this week’s press coverage we know that Ruby and Paul definitely don’t fancy each other, which is a relief. It’s semi-final week and the remaining four competitors ( Ruby, Kimberley, Frances and Beca) must face their penultimate challenges with courage or “courage” as the French pronounce it, as they take on French patisserie. It’s amazing how a little baking competition can so inflame the passions of a nation.
You all got rather into the comments section too by the looks of things. Big thanks to Heidi Stephens for her sterling work last week during “specialist dietary requirements week”.
