Personally, I'm having a terrible evening in the kitchen, involving an exploding microwave and some burnt potatoes, but hopefully our bakers will be faring a little better. This week is all about pies and tarts, which builds on the droolworthiness of the trifles and desserts of last week! There were two shock exits last week, so all the bakers are starting to realise they could go at any time, and as they always say, they're not ready for the journey to end just yet!
The Great British Bake Off - Pies and tarts
Published by Christine Blachford on
Lots of lovely baking puns, that's what this day needs.
so excited for bake off, but sad felipe isn't gonna be with rob anymore. i need cake.. and lots of it.. and it' pies week!!
New Brian Cox stuff being advertised. Can't say I've ever watched a whole episode of his but I know peeps like him.
Ha, I forgot about the custard thief.
Is that Brian Cox the actor, Brian Cox the American footballer or Brian Cox the space bloke?
space
ahaha bless them.
Oh good. Those are must watch programs
"That's been steeping for a couple of months." The preparation that goes into these things!
Mmm. clingfilm pie.
Ali left the clingfilm from the butter in the blender. Oooops.
:)
ohhhh apple and marzipan...
Apple and marzipan? Is marzipan an ingredient like that? I thought it was just the underlay for icing.
i believe so, it's in alot of things. mum puts it in christmas cake too :)
"I think that brown stuff is burn."
Poor howard :(
It does seem odd to bake things that you don't like. But they do such a variety of stuff, I guess there's bound to be stuff that's not to your taste. There definitely would be if I was doing it!
i love that they get so emotional over baking :) baking is awesome
What Paul thing are they making? I missed it.
custard tarts.
Ah ha! thank you :)
mum says you shouldnt cook the custard before it goes in the oven, i wonder how many of them know that...
ahh she thought about how to get them out! clever!
Ali's do not look very good at all!
Actually... not many of them look good!
wow! that looked like a really hard one
Dramatic tarts are dramatic

Genius! RT @thechocovore: @BritishBakeOff England's oldest cookbook?? Is it the Magna Tart-a? #GBBO
LOVE it.
hey all.
again, i'm not commenting on a baking show.
good, i hear you blew up the microwave today #ifindoubtblamemrc ;)
Eek, he didn't even eat it it was so bad.
lots of raw egg i suppose...
Paul isn't happy.
Evening all.
hey, i saved the day, while christine fussed about the smell.
#thatshowirememberit
Sounds like a reaction to fire on The Sims

SO YUMMY!
"i can't cook"
heck of an admission on this show.
<3 Mary
she's obviously lying. she hasn't turned up with toast every week yet
baking and cooking is a bit different.. ?
Pythagoras!! #maths
oh wow!!!!! hmmmm
Baking is a type of cooking, so if you can bake, technically you can cook.
ah very true i suppose. I always class cooking as very savoury things..
you cook dinner, you bake dessert.
but i think that may just be me :)
you do.
they are basically the same and an understanding of one affects the other tho, so i think i get it. :)
sudden idea for dragons den: tasty tablecloths.
uh-oh Sue is trying to get involved again... what will she squash this week?!
How can it take half an hour to wash mushrooms??
I guess it's like how F1 is a type of motorsport. Baking is a type of cooking.
Every time I eat at a table with a cloth on it the table cloth ends the meal with taste all over it
ah love a good motorsport analogy.
phew
They look like a confusing swiss roll
aw no :(
uggggh ruby stop sighing
that looks so nice!
ooh i miss greece!
I like Ali less this episode. He's too busy hoping other people do badly.
aw yay Kimberly has done so well in the last few eps!
aw he knew before they even said!
Badtimes, but he just didn't like pastry
Aww, Howard cries too.
Poor Howard :(
:O :O
Those showstoopers look amazing
Dalek!
a what...?
I bet Davros drives in and smooshes over everything because of that Dalek. He looks like he hates baking
ah that was good fun :) looking forward to next weeks episode. See ya'll next time :) x
Thanks all, that cheered me up. More next week :)
