Something I've just remembered - those rolling pins with discs on the end to ensure even rolling - genius!
Why have I never seen these before? I need one for rolling out my shortbread! you're welcome!

I see them as a double act - different yet complementing each other. Mel is funny in a homely, teasing way. Sue has a razor sharp wit (as also seen in other programmes like Supersizers) and is very dexterous verbally.
It's also nice, when there are lots of contestants, to have two presenters milling around them, questioning and commenting. The idea they would now tamper with the format (for no real reason) is unlikely given the show's phenomenal success in the last few years.

Never understood why women think they are funny. In fact the only people who think they are funny are other women.
There is more to humor than innuendo, gurning and falling over. All though I haven't seen them fall yet, these two tick the first two boxes - they are awful. |

They are like Ant and Dec to me. I know there should be two of them, but I do not know which one is which.

These are amazing! I have the roll up baking sheet as well and it really saves on mess, as well as having size guide marks printed onto it.

Ooh - I like this and the rolling pin. But I reckon if I wait a few months they will be available at Aldi for a quarter of the price!
Joseph Joseph also make a self tapping sieve which sounds great but that's getting into the realms of silly for me...but that mat is a lifesaver or rather a mess saver...

Rav has been racially abused. He tweeted: "So today I was asked 'are you the P**i on the not so British bake off?' Really, in 2016?"
Disgusting. |

Just caught up with the latest episode. Paul Hollywood probably would not like our local biscuit , Tosset cake, still a biscuit but it would be too soft for him. But they are lovely, just melt in your mouth.
Like Andrew, Candice. Val seems very sweet, but probably should go next week, unless she has a blinder and aces every challenge. Kate, she does look a bit smug at times when other bakers get a poor review. Don't know if that is to do with the editing or not. But as the public do not vote I am not sure why they would do that. Can not remember all the names yet though. |

. I often prefer them squidgy, like choc chip cookies. |

is there any evidence of this?
Not surprising because Nadyia also got abuse last year and is still getting it - see the thread on "Chronicles of Nadyia", although some of the more racists comments on there have been removed and a couple of posters are "inactive" now. |

It is so nice to know that bakers can be SciFy geeks as well.

So - we've reached Bread Week.
I always think this is a good pointer as the ones who do well are usually there or thereabouts come the semi-final/final week. |

Seems to always hang on because someone else has a bigger disaster, but will eventually run out of people that are worse. |

I always find bread week so boring. I just can't get excited by a bread roll.
I'll still watch and giggle at their disasters. ![]() I'm a bit late to the Bake off, only seen the past 3 or 4 series, so I've been enjoying catching up with series 3 on the food network channel too. It was bread week at the weekend too. God knows how Rob got away with some of the worst disasters I've seen so far. Dropped showcase cake, collapsed bread basket, tarts presented in the baking tray because they wouldn't come out....
