The FastDay Forum

Say no more. BBC1 now ...

@Wendy Darling in Boston currently, you are missing this!!

Mmm didnt it all look good! X

I think the right person left - she probably just had an off day but it was a close-run thing with a couple of the others!

any battenburg?

any battenburg?

Yes @janeg, one of the bakers made little individual ones and was complimented on them by MB as she said she'd never seen anyone doing that before!

And I even managed to watch it on a fast day

[janeg]

ooooh *tootles off to trawl inter webs to find battenburg* and drools

Just watched it on iplayer. Great to see it back on telly! The only thing I don't like is how they dwell for too long on some more than others. Sort of gives the game away. Don't have a favourite yet, but good to watch on a fast day

I caught up and it was good. Did anyone watch the Extra slice show?

Yes, I agree Karen @Rawkaren they do focus on some more than others don't they. In fact, they bearly spent any time with last week's Star Baker! No, I don't have any favourites yet, either...too early.

I haven't watched the Extra Slice yet...have it recorded. Shall I torture myself and watch that as well as Bake Off...on my Fast Day? Hmmm

I only watch it to see Paul.

Oh dear Oatesy! Caught up in those twinkling blue eyes eh?!!

Carie, you'll have to come and visit with me, you can see him on the school run! His lad goes to the same school as my girls.

Been doing my bit this afternoon. Oatmeal raisin cookies (not biscuits, it's an American recipe) which are our absolute family favourite. We all needed a perk up.

Got back from my three week holiday and the first thing I have watched is the two episodes of GBBO (and the extra slice) that I missed!

Looking forward to this week's episode on bread as I did a fair bit of bread making (and baking) while away.

I like the builder chap...I guess he'll be good at royal icing as he does plastering!!!
