And then there were five! Can you believe the quarterfinals are already in play with this week's theme being the 1970s. Gill stated that she was the only baker remaining that was alive in the 70s which may or may not have been a blessing. Having experience with a bake didn't help her with the Sticky vegan parkin in Week 6.… read more

More than half way through this season of The Great British Bake Off! This week's theme was "autumn."

It is Pastry Week! Nelly strolled in wearing a beret, sunglasses and enough gold jewelry that even from the grave, Joan Rivers would be impressed. She's my girl.

We said farewell to Jeff last week who left due to illness and Hazel was eliminated after a poor showing with cookies. This week was bread - which is never my favorite week. There is always too much under or over proofing and far too many shots of Paul's fingers diving into the dough. I feel so much stress for… read more
