mullethunter Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yay! I've been excited for about a fortnight! Really should get a life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Can't wait to 'meet' all the new characters - they sound a pretty disparate bunch! Does any Omleteer know anyone who has already been on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Whoop! Apparently we will all be dashing to the shops to buy powdered raspberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Out of stock on Amazon already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 No! I can't wait to watch it but I don't think I'll be rushing to buy that. Apparently there were 16000 applicants this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am so excited too Have been looking forward to it for a week or so now Not heard of powdered raspberry. I've bought freeze dried pieces in Waitrose, yes, and freeze dried mango, but not powdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 DD and I are both looking forward to it. Only problem is she is out on a Wednesday so we plan to record it and then we are going to watch it together on Thursday night as she stays here each Thursday. The difficulty will be avoiding the discussions about it in the staff room once we are back to school. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Surprisingly, OH is a huge fan so we'll both be watching it . How do people know to buy powdered raspberry if the series hasn't even started yet > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I love GBBO. Looking forward to Paul Hollywood and his chubby little fingers And as always I will marvel at the fact that anyone can be bothered to expend that amount of time and effort on baked goods. I love baking, but can rarely be bothered to bake anything more time consuming than a quick sponge cake. Everything on GBBO always looks so wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not disappointed at all - I won't say who won/who went home so as not to spoil it for those watching on catch-up, but that was great. Some of those Swiss Rolls - This is why I'm a happy amateur home baker, I know my limitations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Me neither So pleased they haven't messed with the format now it's on BBC1. I won't spoil it either, but am not surprised who went and who was star baker. I have a few favourites already, but I am sure it will change over the series. My kids have told me I should go for it, but I burst into tears far to easily for telly I can do a Swiss roll, but not with people watching me that close.

Egluntyne Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love Norman! If I'm honest, I would have liked to see less cake and more bread or pastries in one episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I missed it last night - going to watch it on iplayer later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've been waiting for this series for ages and really enjoyed it. I have actually bought some of the freeze dried raspberry powder from Waitrose, there was an article about it in the Daily Mail last week. I think one of the contestants in last years series used some too apparently. Have to say I bake a lot, I've baked 3 chocolate madeira cakes this week, last week I baked bread twice and also made some ice cream cone cupcakes with caramel sponge and nutella icing which were lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Will there be a re-run on telly too? I'm not allowed to access the iPlayer because I don't have a UK IP adres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Now I would have thought someone else should have gone home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 What a good set of contestants. No idea who will win. Whenever I have guessed in previous series I have been completely wrong as someone who was in the background can shine later on. Haven't got a hold on the names yet but I love the builder with the pencil behind his ear Looking forward to the Jo Brand show tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 We loved it took so glad that they haven't messed with it, although I am sure that the bakes will get more and more technical because they have done so many already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Loved the pirate scene! I wish I could be bothered to make something so creative. Buying in that fondant icing didn't pay off at all, did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
