Don't go baking our heart.
And yet, while the bakers are as loveable and talented as ever, , Channel 4's cookery crown jewel failed to rise to the occasion — with the series proving disappointing and even controversial with fans and press alike.to meet the eclectic bunch of amateur bakers whose endearing love for home baking somehow manages to eclipse Paul Hollywood's grumpy demeanour.
In previous seasons, episodes have felt like a warm embrace. That's thanks to the show's signature recipe of an uplifting and sweet tone, playful humour, and plenty of emotional ups and downs in the race against time. This year, however, something has been seriously off with the show. For those die-hard fans who regularly watch with loved ones and enjoy the subsequent debriefs in the office the following morning, many have found themselves more and more disenchanted with the show — and it's not just because they miss Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding's dynamic., which led to both viewers and professional chefs criticising the show for its stereotypical presentation of Mexican culture, there were a multitude of faux pas on display throughout the series.
But the main crux of the matter is that the series' producers and judges have seemingly lost sight of what we, as a nation, originally loved about the show and what makes it truly special — the celebration of home baking while spotlighting the contestants' transformative journeys.
Similarly, the two-hour Summer Pudding Bombe technical in the series finale also felt unfair as the judges asked the amateur bakers to cook the dessert with vegetarian gelatin — without any instructions. As both Syabira and Sandro unfortunately discovered when their desserts failed to set, you need to boil the vegetarian gelatin, a step you really wouldn't have known if you hadn't used this version of the ingredient before.
