The Great Irish Bake Off

jos28

Have to go out this evening so I can't watch it live
Series link has been set so I'll catch up later. Looking forward to it but the judges are annoying me already - and that's only the trailers !!

Hopefully Paul has expanded his critique beyond 'that's gorgeous' or 'that's beautiful'.

Hopefully Biddy has just expanded her critique.

:pac:

I don't know why Biddy is still there...

In my opinion she contributed less than nothing other than bland comments.

If she even mutters the word "moist/dry ahhh" with a "little smirky" look at Paul I'll probably.....Zzzzzz

Should have got Odlums Catherine in to call a spade a spade....

cofy

Oh, I don't know........

I'm willing to be persuaded though!.......:)

grey_so_what

Has he time to make a fresh batch?

grey_so_what

I forgot about the million ads on this......

Time to knit a jumper lads or jump on the grapes to make the wine......

They were that long if I remember last season...

cofy

A sponge would take about 5 mins to mix and 15 to 20 mins to bake and about 10 to 15 mins to cool at worst he would need 40 mins, if they are still at the 1 hour to go he should have enough time.

grey_so_what

Is that the same cardi from last season?

dee_mc

Throw icing at the problem, it'll be grand!

Skid X

That's not much help to Dave now, telling him what he should have done.

He looks to be in bits.

Ah yeah but if he's still here next week it's a good tip at least

Toto Wolfcastle

The bacon cake looks amazing!

grey_so_what

Wow, the rasher cake looks great!

dee_mc

That chocolate cake looks incredible, but I can't believe I embarked on Bake Off with no cake in the house

Crumpets

I really want some cake now

Fecking disaster, isn't it? I'm dying for a bit of cake.

I'm liking Khade's excuse as to why the cake was a bit lopsided.

grey_so_what

I'm still waiting for words of wisdom from Biddy......

She is scoffing her face off so far.

dee_mc

The Czech girl's cake looks great, not messy but eclectic i would've said

Skid X

Rashercake is going on my list of things to try at least once ... along with Baileys on Cornflakes (instead of milk).

grey_so_what

Ah, the tape cake is a bit sad....

cofy

I want to tie up her hair.

Baileys on Coco Pops is amazing when you're still drunk

Just found out today that her sister used to work with me so I'm rooting for her!

cofy

The cassette tape cake looked cute until they cut into it.

Toto Wolfcastle

Ugh rosewater. Perfume flavoured cake basically.

cofy

Plenty of Odlums advertising, I would have much prefered if they had Catherine as a judge.

grey_so_what

Ah, the famous Battenberg cake......

Ugh, hate the almondy outside..........

Is this where the 'medicinal' comment comes in then?
Rosewater in cake is gak, in raspberry jam it's surprisingly nice though!
