I'm utterly shocked that they did not disqualify the lot of them because of the state of the cakes........they were dreadful and utterly unacceptable especially in a final.
I have to agree. Plus, I prefer the other series' final challenge - what do you call it? High tea nibbles? Petit something?
Thought: How would he have known who had won? Was he making the same assumption as many of us or was he put up to it?
He later apologised and said he was just in a grumpy mood. So basically he was being a spoilsport.
I suspect it might actually have been because the press was bigging up British bakers rather than French chefs...

To be expected given how much time they had tbh...

The previous finals have always had a round in which they've had to bake a large a number of 'nibbles' of some sort, to test their ability to multitask and bake in quantity with consistency. Not this time, not sure why.
Ive liked all this years contestants but was hoping Frances would win as she has been by far the most creative baker in the tent, so well done Frances chuffed to bits for you. And one in the eye for all the Ruby is nailed on to win conspiracy theorists.
Raymond Blanc apparently tweeted something about the winner being too thin to really enjoy baking. Ruby apparently replied, calling him an idiot (quite rightly IMO), and lots of people jumped to the incorrect conclusion that Blanc meant Ruby and in fact knew that she had won.

You don't think they film three different winners, do you?
Well done Frances although I found her annoying at the start!
And I liked Ruby...:p
Thanks! It was obviously just a guess - that wasn't made clear in the papers!!!
it was lovely to see last years competitors wasn't it?
Agreed.
maybe didn't give them enough time for such a massive task?

Nice one.:D
I spent the first half being annoyed with Ruby and the seconf half actually feeling sorry for her .She has no joie de vivre at all does she
And the pretzel round was a real bore for a final I thought
It was indeed an enjoyable look-back,
I look forward to the catch-up show with this lot already!
That is a reason for not doing complex decoration, not for shoddy, slipshod presentation.
Something like that.
EDIT: cos I have sausages for fingers
