Festival Week for the bakers means more fringe, more exposed buns and more drama than poor Kimberly’s heart can take! We get a Hollywood Handshake for the ages,  a “home-made” Prue put-down that is so very cringe and one of the most difficult showstoppers to grace the tent. K & K learn how to spell and say Kardemulumabullar for an absurdly long time and try to figure out what constitutes an “Essex girl”. If that sounds like your favorite tipple then flip on that broiler, grate those peels and please enjoy this episode of A Date with the Bake!

This episode may be late, but this week, the bakers in the tent are watching their clocks ever carefully, and doing A LOT of maths! Kimberly and Katie may not be ready for all that jelly (insert groan and eye roll here) after last week’s judging upset. However, they are still ready to discuss the all important meaning behind that one burning question… if you “don’t like” sweets, or desserts aren’t “really your thing”… are you allowed to be in the Great British Bake Off? Apparently that question answers itself, but please enjoy the level of emotion it evokes from a mystified K & K. So get your rulers ready for a trifle, pick those seeds out of that jam and get ready for another bombe (yes, groan again) episode of A DATE WITH THE BAKE! On your mark… get set… ah, you know the drill.

Who is still baking their way to glory and who is left flapping around the tent trying to find their footing? Couldn’t be more grateful that prohibition is over -we might need for this PruPaul decision. So grab your liquor of choice, figure out what a saboyon is and on your mark… get set… ADATEWITHBAKE!
