  • I almost read that as a well done to me. Momentarily baffled. :rotfl:

    Also filling in the GBBO appication for series 7. Wasn't going to, but sod it :D

    There's a question on there about 'what's your baking style'. I replied with 'ordered chaos' :)


    They should take you next time. One of this year's contestants taught baking to an after school club and I think the eldest contestant was outed as having baked for money.

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    I doubt anyone who does it at the required level hasn't been paid something at some point. Ingredients ain't free you know. (unless you are a great wombler and counter of course)

    Good luck!

    Loved the final, got a little teary at the end. Very happy with the result. :)

    Or you pay for them yourself. I haven't charged for my bakes. It's cost me nearly £100 in ingredients, boxes etc for the cakes I'm making for my friend's wedding. £15 of that was just for cocoa powder alone. :eek:

    Perfect result in GBBO - a very worthy winner and very moving words at the end.

    All the baking you do and you've never received a penny, ever ?

    You're either loaded or mental.

    Nope. The latter, definitely not the former!
