    Raspberries are not meant for chocolate cakes.

    they are all from central casting...

    the dentist couldn't be an ordinary dentist, she has to be a special needs dentist.

    then we have the man with a husband

    the Daddy's boy with strange hair

    You will never get on here if you claim to be a middle class banker!

    They actually don't taste very nice.. Mr Kipling has been fiddling with his recipe.

    I do hate it when they do that.. Why can't they leave them as they are...if it isn't broke why fix it..grrr :mad:

    I think what they meant when they said "best 13 candidates" was actually "best 13 that fill the race/colour/creed spectrum that the BBC insist on, whilst adding a suitable dose of irritant for ratings purposes".

    Seriously, from what I've seen so far, my Nan would run rings around these contestants.......and I think she can make a croque en bouche too!!

    So far I think Toby, Mark, Ruby or Kim to leave. Lucy or Rob to win star baker. Lucy is very quiet, seems to get on with it, I like her.

    I think Mary would find it funny, but I can imagine Paul being unimpressed and rather stern! :D

    Salt?! You idiot. :eek:

    How is that possible? They were given the ingredients - did they give them a pound of salt?

    Classic British combination. Very English, one might expect it to be served for tea at Granchester.

    I did apply (again), and didn't get any response (again). Despite having made that 4 tier wedding cake, and all the rest of the cakes / pies / tarts etc.

    Someone think of a story!!

    Lucy looks a little like the blonde one from Mistresses.
