Week Eight – Bryony’s Nana Pats Kagekone

Danish week. Basically a great week if your eating the bakes, but not if your baking them. Pastry making for me is not enjoyable it takes forever and I always always seem to burn the end result. I mean what’s that all about?! The challenge. As you can probably tell I’m not a fan of…

Week Seven – Vegan Cake

I have to say that this week I didn’t swoon at the TV and watch every moment of the show fully. If anything it bored me and that says a lot when a cake fell over!! I don’t know why but it’s just not got the same feeling for me like last year. That said,…

September Bakes

September has been a busy month for baking thanks to the return of the Great British Bake Off! Whilst I am not overly convinced about this year’s show in all, I do enjoy watching and baking along weekly and the fact that I am baking more. So what have I made. As it’s bake off…

Week Six – Puits D’Amor.

Week Six in the tent, was pastry week. I found personally that it wasn’t the best week of the show. A contestant (Dan) whom I liked left due to the fluster and well the show itself was just a bit bla. Really don’t know why but it’s not doing it for me this year. Anyhow,…

Week Five – Manon’s Italian Meringue Ginger Cake with Ginger and Lemon Curd

Week Five in the tent brought us Spice Week, a new addition to the 2018 show. I quite enjoyed spice week because it is open to interpretation, although saying that I had no idea what the technical challenge was, but the cake sounded good so I opted to try that. The challenge. As above, I…

Week Four – Bryony’s Treacle Tart Roulade

Week Four in the tent brought us Dessert Week. Whilst I enjoy watching dessert week, its a bit vague in my opinion and basically anything can be a dessert. Basically its not my favourite week all in all. The challenge. This week, I decided to make the roulade. I was not sure which one I…

August Bakes

August, another month that has flown by. It was also the month Great British Bake Off retuned to our screens. Its very exciting because it means that I will be baking more and these will be more interesting! Gin and Tonic Cake Now, some may say I didn’t make this because there is no photographic…

July Bakes

Opps, it appears I have posted this one a bit later than expected, sorry about that. I would love to say I knew where the time went, but its been a busy few months for me and as it happens, July is the month I moved and started a new job so its actually understandable…

Week Three – Chelsea Buns

Week Three in the tent brought us Bread Week. I have a love and hate relationship with Bread week because well I love love love bread but let’s face it it’s the devil and the fact it takes so long to prove/make just proves that really. The challenge. As soon as I saw the signature…

Week Two – Tray Bake

Week Two in the tent was Cake Week! As you know, I love to make cake so was excited for this week. Saying that strangely I wasn’t blown away, personally it was probably the ‘challenges’ rather than the outcomes. The Challenge. This week, I was debating what I wanted to make. I wanted to give…
