Bye Lee. God moves in mysterious ways... usually with Lee's cakes... in the direction of the bin.


It struck me that no one has had the heart to tell him his cakes are inedible.

Why? Someone who does a lot of home baking should have no problem making a good genoise and a mirror glaze, and how to make cakes look good
I agree! They also know what the first and last task is before they get there so there's always a chance to practice if they need to make something they haven't made before.

I only bake at home but can make a genoise. Not tried mirror glaze but I think I could give it a go.

More like be the best of the ones who applied. I can imagine a lot of people wouldn't want the hassle of being on the show and some of them would be very good bakers...

I keep being told I should go on it but that would be my worse nightmare. Love watching it but would not like being there.

I like it, especially the cakes gone wrong photos. I don't always like the guests though.

Is this episode repeated at anytime? I set the series to record but it didn't work.

I thought the overall standard was pretty poor. I am sure week one in previous series have been much better.

I wonder if the lady who made the blue mirror cake had looked at Youtube and was inspired by this cake.

The presenter spoils it, I am sure it could be a really good programme if they could find a better presenter.
