It is ridiculous they do not get time for the cakes to cool.
There should be a timeframe for completion of the cooking time. Then everyone must stop. Then another timeframe for decoration / filling etc. How can you make icing work on a hot bake?? |

I can't see anyone other than Jane winning the whole thing to be honest. A lot of them are wavering around the bottom! I expect Jane, Andrew & Candice will be in the top 3.

I think the standard of baker really dropped when it switched to BBC1

White chocolate samosas? Eek. Not keen on white chocolate.
Jane's sound brilliant. |

'Tom and Andrew prefer things... a little wetter.'
Both are fans of lube I suspect. |

The BBC aren't directing it, nor are they producing it (as recent events have emphasised). How long they get is nothing to do with anyone at the Beeb. The time given for each challenge is entirely down to the production team. Part of the point of the competition is to be able to work under time pressure. Sometimes they do misjudge it (the final wedding cake challenge a few years ago does spring to mind) but it's part of the deal.

Gotta wonder how long Val will survive. Rav has technically had a worse week (so far) but Val has basically flirted with danger every single week (apart from Batter week).
