I'm really late posting this up
Contestants
Ok, there's 7 of them left. I now have favourites, the cheerful vicars wife, who I don't think will win, but she seem lovely.. I'm rooting for her and the student lads, John and James. Please let them do a show / book together.
They defiantly seem all a bit more intense, I'm sure they weren't this tense at this point in previous competitions.
I suspect Brendan is in the running to win, I hope not, but he's constant, unless he has a major melt down at some point.
I'd really like Dannie to get star baker this week, I'm pretty sure she'd explode with happiness. I'm finding Brendan a bit creepy.
Signature Bake - sponge puddings, I'd love to see someone use a microwave - which I have done. I've done steamed sponge pudding, but it's one of those things that sometimes its better out of a tin / microwave. They also make them in tiny individual portions which makes them great for work.
I'm not sure I really fancy any of these though. I'm sure they're all lovely, but unless I need the food equivalent of a hug I tend to leave them along.
Technical Challenge - queen of puddings. I'm pretty sure I've made this, well, assembled it from pre made bits and piece and topped it with a meringue. I do love the way the add science bits into the descriptions too.
Showstoppers - Strudle, I make these a lot, but I've never considered making my own super thin pastry. I quite like a doughy pastry anyway. It's nice to see them do some savoury ones. I've been known to do a mushroom one for winter dinner parties, a really nice recipe to wheel out.
Ooooh, two out next week. That's impressive, but I can't help thinking that might be a bit easier to pick 2 to leave.
