The Great Irish Bake Off

I'm not sure what Paul is expecting there, I thought the presentation of "sunglasses" was good!......

**How bad am I, can't remember the lady's name***........



MaryAnne!!........phew, thanks dee........:)

Cosmo2013

Yeah, he's right, those cakes just look a bit amateurish. The decoration isn't refined enough.

Stephen's doesn't look as polished and... 'finished' as I expected

I think the presentation was poor across the board. Especially when you consider this is supposed to be a semi final of the best bakers in the country. Could you imagine anyone presenting those cakes even in round 1 of the UK bake off. The judges were not happy.

No chance of a Masterclass from Biddy I suppose??...........

Michellenman

Very little actual baking in this tech challenge.

Lovely Bloke

that's a crazy recipe!

dee_mc

What the fudge?
This seems like a strange strange challenge, Biddy has finally lost it I'm afraid!

grey_so_what

It looks like a glorified quiche tbh.........

Michellenman

Biddy had a bit of trouble getting that *tart in to her mouth..


*Oooh matron :pac:

This is a crazy challenge. It's like something out of a deli. A nice deli. Bizarre!
Also, why wouldn't you trim off the edges off the pastry before putting in the oven.

I think the theory is that the pastry won't shrink in the oven if you don't trim it until it's cooked. But it doesn't work, in my experience!

Cosmo2013

Yeah, it will just break off in pieces when she tries to trim it when it's cooked.

I think it still shrinks but the extra pastry allows for that so you can trim it after for a nice finish. Totally bizarre challenge. The only real baking bit is the pastry, no?

I hope there are no soggy bottoms............:)

Its bad when the judge doesn't even want to eat her own recipe.

Yeah, I hate to admit the ads are nearly more entertaining than the programme.

grey_so_what

I thinks MaryAnne is on a winner here!



Maybe not seeing the last shot!!.........

It's a mousse made with carrageen moss. Biddy's been foraging.

The way the judge barely spooned the tart in her mouth was kind of bizzare... she seemed repulsed by it and it was her own recipe!

The blonde woman looks like Kelli Garner's character from Lars and the Real Girl, it's almost distracting.

Well to honest you may aswell switch off again. You're not missing much.

Carrageen mousse, served in pairs... not saying they look like boobs but :pac:

Particularly Oonagh's!

Did any of that dessert even go in an oven. Between the moose and the crab filling this is more boil off than bake off.
