Raisins to be cheerful 1). Bake Off is back! But who aced cake week and who fell at the first curdle? laurenbravo recaps: GBBO
The marquee of dreams is back for its 10th anniversary, and 13 fresh bakers are vying for a place in our hearts. But who aced cake week and who fell at the first curdle? Lauren Bravo recaps.Cast your memory back, if you will, to the year 2009. Obama was in office, Kings of Leon were in the charts, Woolworths was in administration. You probably had a side fringe. And on BBC2, a cosy six-parter about baking aired to a smattering of polite applause.
“I’d say I achieve certain things, in the same sort of way you can achieve a hangover,” says Henry, 20, an actual choirboy. They’re right, A levels are too easy these days. Once the cakes are out of the oven, it’s a race against time to cool them down in time for icing. Having already cut himself three times, Michael is in danger of having his knives taken away and replaced with something plastic from the Early Learning Centre. Meanwhile poor Henry drops his exquisite miniature sugar house in the final minute, and ends up with a derelict shack.
The bakers must take their cue from Sandi’s hairdresser, and pump up the volume. They whisk eggs and sugar over heat until they reach optimum thickness and then fold them into the mixture, taking care not to knock out all the air again. Why anyone can be arsed with all this when you could just use baking powder is a mystery, but 10 seasons-deep it feels a little too late to ask now.
Henry=hark the herald angel cakes sing. Rosie=heaven must be missing an angel cake. Steph=Angel cake . And at the bottom of the heap, Michael=Angel cake by Thierry Mugler, Helena=Buffy vs Angel cake, and Jamie=wiv the angle cakes now. Brutally, his rubbery slices are branded a “failure.” Shhh, we don’t use that word anymore guys.
Of course, what we are really seeing here is a powerful statement on the overly performative nature of modern parenthood. Across the country, millions of mums and approximately five dads are mentally reliving the time they tried to carve the entire cast of In The Night Garden out of fondant icing at midnight with a migraine, just so that little Arlo could show the rest of his Baby Parkour class how much his parents loved him.
