The Great British Bake Off

[*golddust*]

Watching on BBC2 and I all I want is a slice of cake now 

[bitsnknots]

I'm not watching it at the moment but if I did, I think I would put on a couple stone.

Just came on the board to mention this myself but you beat me to it.

Fabulous cakes...poor Toby mixing salt with sugar!!!!

Looking forward to the rest of the series....it is fabulous and gives me loads of ideas

[*golddust*]

I liked the sandwich  

Yes tintin lots of ideas 

[captainbovine]

I don't watch it as I can't stick that Paul Hollywood....

[ginap.123]

I'd put on wieght watching it!

[ed_blackadder_1]

I usually start watching it when it starts getting serious and towards the final,  some fantastic ideas, which I have tried out but they don't come out quite the same, well at least I try eh.

Love it and watched last night (and I'm dieting!)  Thought some of them were rather over-ambitious last night.

[wizilizi]

It was a bit of a gore fest wasn't it?  

I felt quite queazy (or maybe it was some of the creations!!!!?)

Ohhhh i love this programme, was a bit bloody even enough to get in the tabloids LOL. i do so love cakes , lol, eating and making . All the flavours where making me hungry. Mary and Paul make a good team i think and the contestants did really well for their first time.

Bought the new book yesterday  Lots of lovely ideas including the technical challenges 

Sticky toffee apple pudding on the menu tonight 

[*golddust*]

Loving the matches 

[bitsnknots]

I agree the matches in the matchbox were brilliant.

[rose2008-2008]

It was Brilliant last night and i think the matches and the Octopuss thing that man did was good too. Muffins were a tricky thing for them to master but they did very well.

We must all be in the kitchen busy baking to have neglected this thread 

I missed half of last nights so will watch the repeat on Sunday 

[**towery**]

you can watch online Goldie 

i cant make pastry so was happy about their disasters  this week

[rose2008-2008]

I watched last nights, pies and that!!!!!!!!!. It was good. That Ali gave that other bloke before him such evil eyes as he walked back with his produce!!!!!!. Bless him and then poor thing got voted out!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Next weeks should be good too its Biscuits. It makes my mouth water watching it though ha ha ha ha.

[*golddust*]

Are we still watching ?

My daughter made the  apricot couronne at the weekend from last week's show and it was yummy 

[**streety**]

I dont get it.   I just dont see why so many would want to spend hours of stress perfecting something when in seconds it's been eaten.
All that work and then..*woosh! chewed in minutes

[wizilizi]

Hah Streety, Im with you on that!  I can't see why you'd spend HOURS on cooking, unless you truly get pleasure from the actual creative cooking process, & satisfaction from momentary praise & appreciation

I can admire the work of people who do though, nom nom nom 

If cookery really was as it appears on tv I'm sure we'd all be keen!!!!
