Mini blog. Week 8 - 'free' week*

*as in 'gluten-free', 'wheat-free', 'dairy-free', or, in Frances' case 'decoration-free if you know what's good for you regardless of how unfair that might actually be.
 
Bye bye: an emotional roller-coaster this week. I'd have been sad to see anyone leave, but Christine was especially heart-breaking – she was my favourite and no-one should be punished for baking a full-on electric guitar, even if it was inspired by a longtime crush on Brian May.  Yet again the BBC discriminates against the older woman.
 
I'm a survivor I'm not gon give up I'm not gon stop I'm gon work harder: Beca had a lucky escape really, seeing as she completely winged the Showstopper ("nah, not made this before, but how hard can it be?") and decided to ignore Mary's instructions in the technical – yeah, what does Mary Berry know about baking?
 
Ma Baker:  Ruby Ruby Ruby. That allotment must have tasted AMAZING, as I think it's fair to say that was one shonky old shed.  Poor Frances, slated because she didn't make edible flower pots.
 
Living up to glorious middle-class stereotype: Everyone really: Ruby and her mango and nigella seed spelt cob; Frances and her experience of making spelt hot cross buns thanks to her friend Elle's “slight wheat intolerance”; Christine consulting “my baker at the local mill”.  Though we shouldn’t be that surprised that the “unusual flour” challenge would throw up so many examples…
 
Challenge of the series: a 3D vegetable dairy-free novelty cake. HAHAHAHAHA.
 
Next week: La semaine Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrench. Watch Mel go accent crazy.
