I agree. Not quite there. I might give it one more week.

I agree. It was all maybe just a little bit bland. Not sure I'll watch it again, there's nothing new there for me really, but I do think it's a good idea for a programme.

I quite liked it, and I am desperate to make that chocolate cake! But then I love baking anyway. I liked the tips on how to make pastry as well, too often cookery programmes assume you know how to do all that so it was nice to see how it's done.

Not impressed.

Bland is right. I had higher hopes but came away unfulfilled!

For me, it fell between two different concepts. In some ways it was a "how to cheat at baking" programme (and nothing wrong with that) but, in other ways it was a programme for beginners that didn't really teach anyone anything.

I have just wanted this (recorded it last night). I wasn't really that impressed either tbh
Felt like she was trying to be a bit Nigella esq

May give it one more week like someone else said

I love baking and she did a few good recipes I thought the cigerellos on the cake could have been replaed by chocolate finger biscuits or even matchmakers , just as yummy

I looked on line for those - £20+ for 700gs about enough for 2 cakes!:eek::eek::eek:

I love your suggestions. I had though of chocolate fingers but not matchmakers, YUMMY!

Haven't yet watched it (digi-boxed it) but give it a chance....just coz she isn't Nigella, Hugh, Jamie or the guy of the Great British Bake-Off, you shouldn't knock it yet!!

I quite enjoyed the show and so did my son & daughter, Im currently doing level 2 sugarcraft and it's nice to get alternative ideas for cakes etc. I will be watching next week.
