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??”

All of the bakes can be done in the allotted timeframe. A team of people do the challenges, when the show is being prepared, to ensure this is possible

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.”

Yes, forgot it's Love Productions isn't it? The ones all the controversy is about.

It is a case of understanding what you are doing, planning the most appropriate order given the time allowed, making a plan, and not making silly mistakes. All of the bakes are 'do-able' in the time allowed

I do find Val very irritating but I agree with her about not making filo pastry, why would anybody want to make it when the ready made is just as good, or in my case probably better as I've never made filo in my life.

Broom handle and dental floss, Val has been drinking heavily this week

I put Nutella on a meat feast pizza. It's an exciting combination.

I agree - sounds like a major fiddle.

I'm not much of an expert, but should filo be that shade of yellow?

This will sound cruel but it always makes me laugh when things keel over or fall on the floor. I do like a bit of slapstick!
