Having only just got back into the swing of making big cakes, for CCC, this worries me less then it used to, but it still stresses me out. None of them really appeal though.
Technical Challenge
Angel cake, that looks terrifying - I know I don't have the patience for that kind of thing. I'm not even sure I've ever eaten it - it looks a faff.
Show Stopper
I also hate baking with chocolate - it fills me with dread. At least it gets this out of the way I suppose. not an easy one to start off, but I suppose by now everyone must know what is expected from GBBO and has to raise their game accordingly.
Contestants
It's still too early to get a grip on them - but some of them are emerging onto twitter:
Beca (The Welsh one) - @BecaMurphLP
Toby - (The one who got voted off) - @bake_down
I can't remember the rest of the names so I'm sure they'll appear / form as people. 13 Is a bit too many to get to know at the start isn't it. Not surprised Toby was voted off, I suppose if you can't take the pressure on the first session - but I wouldn't have got even that far so hats off to him.
It's also far, far too early to even have a favorite.
The Guardian has a list of them
