The Soggy Bottom Girls are tying a (slightly lopsided) bow on another season of delicious chaos — but first, they need a song. Or… any song. As Allison and Lisa debate their options, Allison casually drops a bombshell about possible Jasmine controversy?! 👀 Lisa, ever the voice of reason, breaks down the bakers’ true strengths. Meanwhile, Allison? She’s breaking down Aaron’s blouse. Thoroughly. And with great enthusiasm. This week’s signature is all about hot dog buns, which naturally sends th...
It’s Patisserie Week on The Soggy Bottom Girls, and the innuendos are rising faster than choux pastry in a hot oven! Lisa boldly declares her love for cream horns (yes, she’s eaten one), while Allison wonders if they’re simply too faffy for the average baker. The girls sift through Jasmine’s repetitive flavors, debate her soulless bakes, and side-eye her first-place finish in the technical. When it comes to the macaron showstopper, Lisa’s thrown in the piping bag, but Allison’s swooning...
It’s Dessert Week in the tent, and The Soggy Bottom Girls are serving up some seriously sweet (and slightly scandalous) opinions. Lisa and Allison dive into the mystery of the Basque bake — and after a few “why would you?” moments, they unanimously bin Tom’s black-as-night creation. A steamy bain-marie debate bubbles up next, with both hosts declaring it more trouble than it’s worth. When the gluten-free pudding technical rolls around, Allison’s war on oranges continues, while Lisa questions ...
It’s the first-ever Meringue Week in the Bake Off tent, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are whipping up pure delight! Allison and Lisa dive headfirst into clouds of sugar and egg whites—discussing mini meringue pies, soufflé struggles, and torches that never get used (looking at you, Allison). From chestnut mysteries to passion fruit obsessions, they mix in plenty of laughter, Bake Off lore (BinGate returns!), and a full-on Barry Manilow detour that somehow makes perfect sense. It’s pillowy,...
It’s Pastry Week in the tent, which means laminated layers, questionable butter strategies, and at least one soggy bottom. Allison and Lisa roll out their thoughts on the seven sacred pastries (and the eighth, Pillsbury Crescent, obviously), while investigating Toby’s neck beard, Natalia’s giant collar, and whether Prue secretly runs an accessories empire. The gals debate the merits of tofu pies, gooseberries, and pork-filled mystery tubes from the ’80s, all while cheering on Jasmine’s ...
It’s Chocolate Week on The Soggy Bottom Girls, and things are getting decadent! Lisa and Allison swoon over the adorable mini mousse creations that could pass for fancy café drinks, while Lisa treats us to a nostalgic 90s-style jingle for Nestlé chocolate. The girls can’t help but raise eyebrows at Aaron’s melted mousse mishap, and debate whether mousse should ever look like pudding. In the technical challenge, Allison applauds the blind judging for bringing a rare moment of fairness to the t...
The classroom is open and the girls are back in session! With Allison out for the week, Lisa welcomes special guest and honorary Soggy Bottom Girl, Emma—a British baker living in Pittsburgh who’s here to decode the mystery of Back to School Week on The Great British Bake Off. From flapjacks that aren’t pancakes to school fêtes (yes, that’s pronounced “fate”) that involve coconuts and queens, this episode is a deep dive into British school traditions that had Lisa more confused than a Bake Off...
It’s Bread Week, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are rising to the occasion! Lisa and Allison kick things off by revealing their favorite “tear and share” bakes before diving into the bakers’ signature challenge — and those wildly over-the-top ingredient choices (truffle oil? Really?). Things heat up as they unpack the technical: doughnuts. Is it even baking? The girls aren’t convinced. Lisa takes a nostalgic detour with stories of her “Fry Daddy” childhood and sweet Sunday mornings with her dad. ...
Lisa states that biscuit week is her favorite, and the girls go back and forth about the biscuit/cookie difference.
