The Great British Bake Off thread 2014

[Hilts]

Anyone going to watch this?

[Vocal Minority]

Yep - like a bit of bake off me.

[skinny]

Doesn't feel that long since the last one!
But yeah will probably watch it with the missus as normal

[Ved]

Hell yes!

[trooperiziz]

Of course, one of the best shows on TV.

Moving to BBC1 and with an accompanying programme on BBC2 (An Extra Slice), it seems to be being treated like Strictly Come Dancing now, which i'm not sure is good or bad...

How do you make a Swiss roll? Push Roger Federer down a hill.

I actually would like to push Roger Federer down a hill, or off a cliff, or anything else high up. Anyway, baking.

[Daz68]

A tight and defined roll... Oooh matron.

[Daz68]

Coffee swiss roll. Lovely.

[Bungleaio]

I've not watched this before. I feel the need to eat cake now that I am….

[ajprice]

I like beardy Ian, but I don't think he'll be there long.

[Regiment]

Definitely a fan of Martha, she's looking like she'll go all the way. The Black Forest Swiss Roll looked scrumptious though yum .

[Mr GrimNasty]

He's at it again, glint in his eye, admiring Martha's moist cherry cake. This will not end well.

[24lemons]

Can't stand Jordan. He came across as a self satisfied smug git and he just wasn't any good!

I am unreasonably excited.

I have to have a supply of food ready while I'm watching it - the pictures of delicious cakes make me hungry....

Took all my will power not to go to the kitchen and find something sweet and unhealthy to eat!

[Nick Grant]

Was that Spencer from Phoenix Nights on Bake off?

She seemed pretty capable for someone so young. I don't think I was that composed at 17! Especially considering the girl who went headed straight for the panic button as soon as something went wrong! However the question is going to be will she be able to string 10-12 good showings together.

A few strong contenders this year - the painter decorator and the lady that got star baker look pretty handy
