A Date With The Bake

Our remaining bakers get their chouxs on and roll on down to the Bake Off tent for the formidable Pastry Week! Forever the most finicky of elements, it’s time for bakers to flex their skills and show Nigella and Paul that making it this far in the competition was far from a fluke! Crusts must be flakey! Fillings must be flavorful! And with only four weeks remaining until the finale, it’s a fight to the finish not to fall to the soggy bottom. On your mark… get set…A DATE WITH THE BAKE!

Bakers return to the Bake Off tent for…umm…dessert week. To Kimberly, Katie and Jake this would encompass most of the themed weeks, but they are not wise to the miraculous world of puds. It’s pudding week y’all! But don’t think because they are from the land of custards, that this weeks challenges will just be a trifle more difficult. Nigella and Paul Hollywood are looking for that elusive combination of retro AND modern rolled out before them looking like something out of a dessert shop window. So, who will get lost in the self-sauce? On your mark…get set… A DATE WITH THE BAKE!

It’s that time again… Bread dread has arrived to the Bake Off tent and our bakers are forced to show their skill in three yeasty challenges. Kimberly, Katie and Jake will be harsh judges of the smelly signature as it’s bonafide bready favorite. However, a tricky technical has the bakers falling FLAT on their faces. So, will the showstopper allow these bakers to celebrate their talents and finally prove themselves? Well, let’s start loafing around and find out! On your mark…get set… A DATE WITH THE BAKE!

The audience is in charge of the Bake Off tent this week and we are in for a wild ride!  Kimberly, Katie and Jake are in full support of the British public’s challenges and are thrilled to see family and significant others of our talented bakers join in the baking fun. But, when it’s all style AND substance in this runway worthy showstopper will someone be fashionably late to the oven causing disaster?! Regardless, it’s “hat’s off” to any baker who makes it through this week of twists and turns. On your mark…get set… A DAKE WITH THE BAKE!

The Great British Baking Show is providing the biscuits... but Katie and Jake are flying without Kimberly this week and they are bringing ALL the tea! Ok, maybe not ALL the tea, but some past secret professional cookie experience that may come in handy when looking at this week's bakes. There are some strong emotions in the tent surrounding complicated biscuit mosaics and a tiny technical that is deceptively difficult. There are also strong emotions in the podcast as one particularly annoying American gets a little too intense about lack of cream of tartar in the "American style Cookie" signature challenge. You will just have to listen to find out her thoughts...THEIR thoughts...dang it. On Your Mark... Get Set.... A DATE WITH THE BAKE!
