2016 GBBO Mini blog. Week 6

Erm, what is ‘Botanicals Week’?: "Anything that grows goes" we’re told.  Cue a disappointing lack of special herbal cookies with a nice relaxing effect, the likes of which might cause Angelina Jolie to divorce you.

Bye bye: Rav – he did well to sneak this far, after throwing up more than one hot mess in the last few weeks. I still think of him waving that solitary piece of batter/dough/whatever at the camera that he forgot to add to his dozen whatever it was they were making (yup, my quality blogging continues...).

Lucky escape: Andrew made dry cake and Jane smeared toddler-style finger painting on the sides of hers.  Bit embarrassing for a gardener to mess up botanicals week, isn’t it?

Ma Baker: Somehow Tom swanned in last minute, because he enjoys bringing home-made posh herby bread to the pictures as a cinema snack.  Come on dude, what's wrong with overpriced stale popcorn?

Smut-watch: Everyone was having a mare with the stiffness of their meringue, though Selasi was this week's King of Smut.  Not only did he outright fail to pronounce "physalis" as anything other than "syphilis", but Freud would plenty to say about his sketches of an oval bread with vertical lines done the middle.

Fashion-watch: Selasi was highly unimpressed at Hollywood's lack of floral. Quite right too - if you're known for shiny shirts, the least you can do is pick a garish number for botanicals week.  Booooo Paul.

The new shop bought fondant: Mary had a right sulk about the meringue blowtorching, didn't she? She couldn't stop going on about how she wanted them done in the oven. Didn't stop her tucking in. 

Lippy-watch: Candice sports a nude lip!  It's getting serious.

Next week: Dessert
