They were in very good form this week, but Nancy handed them so much material. (male judge)<br />This group of bakers is very even, only Martha hasn't won star baker -yet. My money is still on Nancy, but look out for Martha who always does well on the technical bake.<br /> <br />And yes Simon, you are allowed to go on vacation, but you will miss bake off and experience some withdrawal symptoms. (drinking alcohol & eating desserts will ease the pain) But you must come back to cure us!<br />Perfect Custard<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-52670146395080881702014-09-12T11:02:47.985+01:002014-09-12T11:02:47.985+01:00Am happy to attempt a recap for you Simon.

How selfish of you to go on holiday! :P<br />Great re-cap by the way - I am so glad you picked up on The Nancy Show. There was another funny moment when she just dolloped some mixture into a bowl and said: "I don't bother with the measurements" (or something like that... hilarious!)<br />Hope you are well, love Tommi xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-42050321538122431642014-09-12T08:47:45.454+01:002014-09-12T08:47:45.454+01:00Defo?
