Devonshire Splits for the second part. They do look lovely. Tempted to make them.
Didn't expect the rolls to have sugar in, but might genuinely try making some mini ones!

that was a surprising winner for the technical. expected number 2 to finish first for it but fair play. no.2 in terchnical still I reckon could get star baker.

Congratulations if you had 'baker uses dock leaf flour' on your drinking game! :lol:

It's amusing how difficult some bread actually is to make, not something you really realize.
star baker is who I expected.

the person who is eliminated is someone who stuggled a lot this week and kinda suspected it after the 1st day.

next week's chocolate week.

looks like tortes are signature, cheescakes are technicals and chocolate boxes are the showstoppers.

also looks like spoiler may get injusred next week

I was surprised how bad Dan did, he was probably the strongest for the first two weeks.

Where do you find out what next week's meals will be.

Tasha fought back in the second week so it’s balanced but I think these two will definitely be in the final

Not sure about meals but you can glean the challenges from the preview at the end of each week's episode.

Saka just boring as a baker
OK. Signatures looked underwhelming and technicals seem interesting, especially as Spoiler had to take a break
spoiler got star baker...and it wasnt who I expected. The elimination result was expected.

Pastry week is next week with high stakes.
Signature is a steamed dessert. pie showstopper and pithivier technical
'What's a *the technical*?' during the signature yikes :lol:

Check my post above. Usually it's a sweet pie made with frangipane but they made a savoury one with potatoes

Ooh I've never come across a sweet pithivier! I thought they were usually meat-based?
