Patisserie Week
Mel & Sue Sandwich: Tent favourite Selasi! (And there was a veritable
fight over who got prime sandwich position too.) With the semi-final
pressure upon them, Selasi finally got the fear – instead of winging it with
some alternative theory about the benefits of un-sieved flour, he lost valuable
time starting from scratch. No!!!! That’s not the Selasi way!
Then we got frowns, pacing, self-flagellation with a spatula, and finally – the
sweats. At least Perks was on hand to towel him down with a piece of
torn-off kitchen roll.
Lucky
escape #1:
The other three were shoo-ins, really. At one point, Jane nearly dropped
her palmiers, but Andrew invoked the “five second rule”. (I thought it
was three, but whatever…).
Ma
Baker:
Andrew triumphed – to his absolute mystification. Maybe it was his Toryminister power-squatting stance.
Lippy-watch: The semi-final
vibe was so serious Candice didn’t even take the time to reapply! Mel
expressed concerns before wielding the mulberry.
Smut-watch: "My fondant
is just oozing" worried Andrew. "I'm just rolling in my
nuts" proclaimed Candice.
Fondant-watch: How does Mr Kipling do
it? See Mary – *this* is why they go for shop-bought fondant.
Next
time: The
final. Karen Harms (Andrew) versus Katie Mason (Jane) versus Sally
Ramsden (Candice). Candice’s pout FTW!
