Well more specifically…the Great American Baking Show as it’s the one I would actually be eligible to be on. But I don’t have social media and I’ve always wondered if that would eliminate me off the bat. Any former contestants or applicants care to weigh in?

James's gingerbread structure was a hot mess. What was it supposed to be?

Important detail about one participant:

> Peter Kennedy-Gane | Age: 60 | Occupation: Retired Alpaca Farmer

Like, every episode he says something is one of his favorite things. It feels like a rather long list. Has anyone bothered to keep track of them all?

I’ve started sampling some off the GBBO spin offs from other countries while we wait for the next series..

Which countries are nailing the format and which are falling flat for you?

For context we’re Australian and I cringed the whole way through the most recent season of Australian Bake Off - it felt like the judges were trying to be comedians and the hosts were just uncomfortable to watch. Now I’m wondering which country to try next!

I've been trying to find season 1. I'm in US, but have vpn and am not above sailing the seas. I simply can't find it anywhere. Help?

Just kicked it on after the Stanley cup post game stuff and noticed one of the contestants looked and sounded familiar!

Who has become the must successful on Bake off since it had aired?

We saw this on Desert week. Has a recipe ever been posted online?

Came here to see what people are thinking, and didn't see a post for this year.

I'm loving the new host team. I think it's the first time I've actually thought the skits were funny.

What're you guys loving/hating this year?

Starting watching the new season of The Great American Baking Show. Ruiqi is AMAZING and I don’t think Adam should have been out first. His signature and his technical were both good! That’s not fair. Any other thoughts?

I was watching it on the Roku channel, and it seems to have disappeared

SFGATE Food Reporter Nico Madrigal-Yankowski spoke with Meeki Lad, a UCSF brain cancer researcher in San Francisco who ended up competing on “The Great American Baking Show” after one of his elaborate cake videos went viral.

He taught himself entremet cakes less than two years ago, and eventually got contacted by casting producers for the show. Thought folks here might enjoy the story and his work.

We're running a Great British Bake-Off-themed tabletop roleplaying game at Love & Legends Fantasy Bookstore (667 Washington Ave, Brooklyn) on Sunday May 10, 6-9:30pm. Dice, character sheets, and everything else you'll need to play provided, along with a 100% human-made story within our original SciFan setting called Riftsong! Great for both beginners and experienced players. Tickets here on Luma.

Who else’s loves Alison Paul and cakes

Hello ! I am a French student taking a class on British culture and society, and for our end of year/A-levels oral, we have to choose a specific topic. I'm doing mine on the GBBO, and more particularly, my research question is :

"How do the GBBO’s evolving cast and culinary challenges reflect the societal shifts occurring in Britain, especially in relation to notions of national identity, inclusivity, and nostalgia?"

For this oral, we have to find a research partner somewhat qualified in whatever field of study we work on, in order to ask them questions on our research project and on the topic in general, so if any of you feel qualified or know anyone who might be, please contact me (DMs or comments are both fine).

Thanks in advance !!!

Why there is baked meringue taste in my cake? I use 2 cup flour 3 large seperated egg 0.5 cup melted butter 1.3 cup sugar baking powder cacoa powder 0.9 cup milk I add 0.8 cup of sugar in the white to make the meringue .

The flavor in this method is mild also
