2014 Mini blog. Week 2.

Bye bye: Enwezor. It might seem a little unfair (and based more on his not-quite-TV-ready personality than his baking), but Enwezor did commit A Cardinal Bake Off Sin - not making his own fondant.  As soon as the camera cut away to Mary's most severely disapproving silent glare it was clear the game was up.  To hammer it home, we got a repeat Berry death grimace at judging, with extra Hollywood disdain to boot.

Ma Baker: Lovely Richard.  I'm fairly sure that if you do a Google image search for the phrase "what a nice man", it's his smiley face you'd see, complete with ear pencil (Disclaimer: I can't promise this search won't be NSFW).  His pirate scene was great – even the ‘sexy’ mermaid with no neck.

Living up to gloriously middle class stereotype: Iain used an ingredient called 'Za'atar'.  Not only does it begin with Z, but it has punctuation in the middle of it.  Special.

Norman Conquest: His biscuits might have been dissed by Mrs Norman, but they earned him a Hollywood handshake!  We also learned that Norman teaches semaphore in his spare time.  Team bonding?

Next week: Paul gets to be sanctimonious and superior about plebs' breads.
