Bread Week was wild one. Lot of raw dough. What was described as the worst Technical in 17 series, followed by a Showstopper that really separated the wheat from the chaff of our bakers. We also, sadly has to say goodbye to the Ebullient Nikki who unfortunately lost her mother. We of course send her and her family and loved ones our sincerest condolences. Next week, it’s Dessert Week, see you there. Thanks, Team Krème Pat

It’s the first ever Audience Choice Week! and, it was pretty good, and a decent bit of fun. We get to meet some of our baker’s families, see how well they do under wild pressure, and see who can get their design on. Week three, we discover, is the week when we develop attachments to our bakers and when a baker leaves it gets rough. Next time, it’s Bread Week which mean’s Paul is going to be on the warpath. Can’t wait to discuss, hope to see you in the chat.

Week two and we still have a full complement of bakers (due to some tummy troubles in week 1). It’s Biscuit Week and it’s so fun to watch as an American as the Brits just don’t get cookies. Our bakers are still crushing it this week and this ep was such a delight to watch and recap. Hope you enjoy, let’s do it again next week for the first ever Audience Choice Week Thanks, TeamKrème Pat

The Bake-Off is back and so are we. Series/Season 17 looks to be bringing a lot of changes to the tent including a new judge, the sumptuous Nigella Lawson. Our new batch of bakers look like a super fun group and Cake Week was an amazingtest of their mettle. Thanks for joining in to watch or listen. We’ll do it again next time for Biscuit Week. Until then, Thanks, TeamKrème Pat

Our finalists are, Meeki Lad, Melissa Curmi and Ruiqi Chen in the first ever all Asian Final that must be recognized and celebrated, and trust, this final is a doozy! From meringues to mesmerizing topsy turvy cakes this amazing season concludes with just as much of a baking banger. Big up to the PR Team for helping us have the opportunity to meet and interview all of this season’s bakers.Thanks to all the viewers, commenters and always love to the homie Frank for supporting what we do.
