Great British Bake Off/Show S.8 – Patisserie Week

November 26, 2020A Date With The Bake, podcastComedy, GBBO, TVadatewiththebake

It’s the SEMI FINAL of the Great British Bake Off Season 8 and the last 4 bakers have to compete in some of the toughest challenges yet. It’s the always delicate and difficult Patisserie week where the bakes are likely to be dainty, detailed and often French (so you know its going to be hard). And as it’s Thanksgiving in the states, Kimberly, Katie and Jake are mostly grateful that they are not forced to create a cornucopia of filled almond pastry under incredible time restraints under the watchful eye of Paul and Prue. Yet another beloved baker is sent home at this bitter end and a controversial judging has K,K & J in a tither. It’s almost time for a flavor-filled finale and looks like along with delicious desserts, at least 2 of our hosts will be eating a hefty dose of crow as the Blink 182 baker appears to have gone the distance… Please enjoy this very special semi-final coverage from A Date with the Bake!

In the grand tradition of the Great British Bake Off it’s the return of the frighteningly general Dessert Week! Wherein the bakes can be downright confusing or very familiar or sometimes a little bit scary all in the same week. Kimberly and Jake are on their own this week, which may be a good thing as Katie is highly suspicious of cakes that wobble unnaturally. Who will they root for now that Lottie is gone? Will another favorite leave the tent forever? Will Paul be wearing a denim shirt and Prue a large, slightly dangerous looking necklace? Is this dessert week a Noel affair or more Matt’s speed? Enjoy this episode of A Date with the Bake to find out!

Gag me with a spoon full of cookie dough- It’s 80’s week for the Great British Bake off! As our original bakers dozen gets smaller and smaller the remaining bakers are livin’ on a prayer as they attempt to pour some extra sugar on their donuty confections. Temperatures soar in the tent and in the heat of the moment one baker makes a doozy of a mistake while the other bakers fight against all odds to complete a chilly showstopper. And like always Bake Off is bringing on the heartbreak for Kimberly, Katie and Jake when another of their favorites bites the dust. Are you hungry like the wolf? Hope so, cause its time for 80’s Week on the GBBO! (bonus points if you can count all the 80’s song references in this description).

This week the bakers head back to the Great British Bake off tent for what will prove to be a somewhat difficult but HIGHLY controversial Japanese week! Will it be Kowai or Kawaii? Is the theme a matcha made in heaven? Which of the bakers has the steamiest buns? Kimberly, Katie and Jake will be the judge. One of their most favoritist competitors winds up at the bottom of the heap and somebody’s personal fav proves to be a real star. But, will the win be overshadowed by questionable challenges? Safe to say maybe Bake Off “should’ve known batter…”
