Ep 9. Bake Off Special

Bake Off series 14 episode 9: Patisserie Week It’s the semi final! There’s a lot to love about the semis, in terms of the actual bakes, which are mouthwatering. But also a lot to hate. Still crying over here. Signature: FinanciersTeeny tiny little sponge cakes with a big ol’ chunk of icing. Like a long, thin cupcake with a fancy name that Esther can’t pronounce. Dan pulls it out the bag, Matty’s are a bit of a mess. *Someone* gets a handshake… Technical: Tartes aux pommesWeirdly, despite being in opposite camps on almost every bake, both Holly and Esther would make light work of this one. GORGEOUS. We think Matty is secretly a pastry chef and is just pretending to not know what he’s doing. Showstopper: Milles feuillesControversial pronunciation aside, this challenge produces some truly spectacular bakes. We’re worried about darling Tasha at this point, but clearly Josh is going stellar. Join us!If you LOVE this podcast, there is a way to get more Holly and Esther nonsense, and that’s by becoming part of our Pod Squad on Patreon, where you can get involved in live zoom calls with us, weekly newsletters and an exclusive Discord community for friendly chat and support from like-minded women runners!
