The Great Irish Bake Off

Worthy winner but I feel sorry for Shane.
To round off events and for a bit of crack - if you were to describe yourself as a cake, what would you be ?
To get the ball rolling I'd love to be a delicate Lady finger but in reality I'm more of a doughnut !
I'm one of my very own brownies - a softie at heart but a bit rough round the edges, rather dark, with plenty of squidgy bits

Well done to Tracey.... she deserved to win.
Am I the only one who died a little inside every time the word macaroon was spoken? They are a french creation and are called macarons (one 'o', silent 's'). Macaroons look completely different.
Macarons on the left, macaroons on the right.
Yeah I watch too many cooking shows.

My humble effort
Dulce de leche brownies, very dark chocolate brownie with pockets of caramel
Paul would be happy that the centre is still gooey, but disappointed that the edges are a tad overcooked... Biddy would get a fit of giggles and mumble something about textures
And you would sit there groning thinking maybe if you just tried a little bit more than a nibble Biddy.. you'd have enjoyed it!grey_so_what wrote: »How did Ali write all that up if it's a challenge - did she do it when it was announced or did she know in advance?
So we handed in Episodes 1-5 before we got there and then 6-8 when we got down there. But yes, all of the recipes were in by week 6.Luke Careful Yard wrote: »Am I the only one who was glad Ali's macaroons didn't work out great as she'd done a course in them.......
Haha! There's always that one person you love to hate on a show right? Being a viewer (and setting aside, knowing Ali like I do,) I would have so been... now that'll learn you! But she's a super baker and so I can't feel like that!BabysCoffee wrote: »Where was this filmed I like what they did with the marquee
Filmed in Tinakilly Country House in Co. Wicklow. The tent is the same as last year, they just filled it out with more props and stuff, so it does look better this year.
Tracy won... simply delighted! Even though Shane was my favourite throughout, I was glad that Tracy won as her consistency was astounding! Ali was super on the day and rose to the challenge put before her but I don't think she had it like the other two did. Still, she presented a lovely afternoon tea, one I would have gladly tried...
There is one thing that bugged me about the final... we were all there waiting in the wings for them to come out. The judges did their thing, the guys came out and we all went back into the tent for the announcement of the winner and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the showstoppers had been eaten by crew. There were tidbits here and there left... family members saw, for the first time, the creations of their finalists like you and I all did last night! That's not really an anything comment but I think it's a bit rubbish that they weren't told to hold off on scavenging... Right?
Also Tracy wasn't presented with anything... not even a bunch of flowers? Surely the budget stretched to a bunch of flowers... like the GBBO get a cake plate. Tracy got a handshake!0 -

I liked the three finalists, but Tracy was my out-and-out favourite. There was something so sincere about her, as well as the fact that she came up with some fab stuff throughout.
I was pleased that her macaroons were way ahead of Ali's. I liked Ali, but the bit about having done the course in macaroons...yep, I was a tiny bit pleased that they didn't look anywhere nearly as good as Tracy's, in the end.
Sounds like the crew had a great time eating all the stuff.
That's poor that the winner doesn't even get a bouquet of flowers, it would be better than nothing.
Anyway, overall, I enjoyed the show, all contestants should take a bow.0 -

Basking in the glory at the minute which should last another day or so hopefully..! I have started to put my recipes on my website/blog and that needs a little work but I'm going to go gently and see what the next few months bring...Luke Careful Yard wrote: »Oh and fab kitchen by the way...lot of kitchen envy on here
The kitchen is my haven and the heart of my home...it's fab, but not because of the look of it...!
Honestly, it was a cheap as chips as it's all MDF. I designed it myself on the back of a napkin and found myself an amazing kitchen maker who could see into my head, take the picture and build it - FineDesigns here in Killarney0 -

Roll on the 2015 GIBO!!
Sister of Maeve Higgins, the comedienne. She's actually very quirky and personable although I wouldn't have thought she would have enough credibility to be a judge yet. Looking forward to this.0 -
