Pâtisserie week.
Bye bye: Paul the Baker, undone by both real and synthetic bananas, and being ever so slightly boring on the telly.
Lucky escape: Good TV provider Flora - controversially, I thought... No no, of course I'm not just saying that because I had Paul in the sweepstake.
Ma Baker: Nadiya, in spite of daring to use that most non-middle class of flavours, bubblegum. That Mary could overlook such a blatantly artificial ingredient shows how awesome Nadiya is.
Timely references: Flora was minus six when Madonna wore her cone bra, so clearly didn't have a clue what Mel was on about when it came to shaping pastry horns. But she was oh so polite about it.
Smut-watch: Dudes, it's Cream Horn week and we got a shot of a grown man trying to pipe a thick banana yellow substance into some pastry whilst groaning really really loudly and muttering, "It's thick, all right". It does not get any smuttier than that. Indeed I refer you to...
Nadiya's face-watch:
Bezza v baking powder: Mary continued her crusade against raising agents by only allowing them to use egg. Someone at Borwick's must have really slagged one of her bombers.
Next time: Semi-final - chocolate and centrepieces.
