Krème Pâtissière: A Great British Bake-Off Podcast

Pastry Week is extra perilous this go round as it’s a Double Elimination fight to the death. Not really, but kind of. This one is a very fun episode that brings out the best in our great bakers and make mince out of two lesser skilled individuals. All that and a perfect slice of Bakers Make The World Go Round make for a wonderful episode of the show. Next up, Botanicals Week.   Team KP   Signature...

Week 4 is Chocolate Week, and it takes some twists and turns this go round. But worry not, we’re here to guide you through the drama and laugh with the comedy. We of course have some baking world news in the form of Bakers Make the World Go Round and multiple asides to explain what our bakers are whipping up this week in the tent so there's a great deal to be learned in this episode. See you n...

Week 3 in the tent is Bread Week, and we left angry. Not stop watching angry, just salty about the judging this go round.  But we still have a ton of fun chatting about the episode and of course a bit of Bakers Make the World Go Round with a revisit of the latest Great American Baking Show series and a how to make Dock Flour. Oh, and we of course discuss listener feedback from you all. Next go rou...

Episode 2 of Series 14 is the vaunted Biscuit Week! We of course recap and review the episode  and in our Bakers Make the World Go Round news segment we discuss Bake-Off alum Kim-Joy, and Girl Scout Cookies. Also, Tee changed the poll question in the edit, lol. Get on in here and enjoy the good time that is Biscuit Week, and we will see you again next week for Bread Week. Team KP   Signature – 12...

We’re back and we are pumped. A new series of Bake-Off is lightweight Christmas round these parts and boy howdy did Saturn come through. 12 new bakers enter the tent along with a brand-new host. Cake Week was an absolute delight and of course we were grumpy about who got sent home but that is what make’s this show so great. If you bang with what we are doing here, please leave us a review wherever...

And in a snap, the far too brief first series of The Great American Baking Show on The Roku Channel has concluded. It really was the best iteration of the multiple attempts at creating an “American” take on The Great British Bake-Off and was a delight to review and recap. We wrap this series of the show, and our show with Fancy Snack Cakes, an Afternoon Tea, and an amazing Pièce Montée, of which y...

Already at the Semi-Finals, sigh, I will miss some of these bakers. It’s Episode 5 of both the show and our recap of The Great American Baking Show on The Roku Channel. We get gorgeous Mille Crêpe Cakes, a Key Lime Chiffon Cake, and showstopper that was, well, it certainly was something. And of course we have a few stories to share in our news segment, Bakers Make the World go Round. Thanks for ha...

Ahhhh Pastry Week, where the weak are separated from the strong. This was one of the best episodes of this truncated season. They have hit their stride and I truly hope people are watching it because it is really that good. From scratch made pop-tarts, to churros, to pies it was a fantastic week in the tent. Oh, and we also have a couple of delightful stories for Bakers Make the World go Round and...

We’re baking loaves in the Tent this go round as it’s Bread Week. We have 7 bakers remaining in the fray. From Babka, to buns to brilliant builds it’s a delightful week. We also bring you a couple of fun stories fore Bakers Make the World Go Round. Team KP   Signature- Sweet filled Babka Loaf Technical- 12 Mini Burger Buns to make 10 Sliders Showstopper- 3D Bread Sculpture based on a story from ch...

It’s Cake Week in the Tent and at least one of your hosts left this episode grumpy. 8 bakers remain in the tent and are challenged this week to make wonderful cake-based treats. This was a fun ep that has an absolute corker of a Showstopper. Oh, and of course we have a little Bakers Make The World Go Round for you to enjoy. Team KP   Signature- Decorated Sheet Cake sliced into 16 identical pieces...

We told y’all we would return for more and here we are. It’s The Great American Baking Show, proof that the term Bake-Off needs too be freed from the clutches of Pillsbury. This season and the next of GABS is on the Roku Channel which is free to watch on any Roku Device, Mobile or PC so feel free to get in on the good times with us. All the episodes are up but we are watching and recapping week to...

We’ve arrived at the Finale! Our remaining chefs Daniel, Danielle, and J are asked to create multiple courses meant to explain why they feel they deserve to win The Big Brunch and what they would do with the money to help with these goals. This ep had us asking about multiple sauces so we figured we better look into it and of course provide you with some info regarding these. So now we all know wh...

It’s the Semi-Finals and that means it’s time to switch it up. This week, we begin making food to feed a family as opposed to just three judges. And our main is also in the familial vein with the chef’s being expected to create a full family sized meal. If no one went home last week, years of cookery show watching has proven that two will have to leave this week and that is certainly what occurred...

Y’all, this episode was so frustrating to watch. Like, it was a lot of yelling at the TV in disappointment at what our beloved chefs were doing. It was also, a super fun episode that kind of had us questioning the judges by the end. The team had company over this week and the chefs wanted to show out for him but that wasn’t the brief. How do they make up for embarrassing the parents when guests ar...

This was the Ep that made Nic say, we should recap this show and once you watch it, I think you will see why. Honestly, The Big Brunch hit its stride this week. Most of the chefs absolutely crushed and it was very cool to witness. This week’s Brunch theme is Fine Dining and it was such a fun twist on one’s idea of what brunch can be. Tip your wait staff on your way out and enjoy. Baker’s Make The...

As the chefs are slowly but surely winnowed away the best of the bunch begins to rise to the top. This was a baking week, meaning one chef had an advantage, did they take advantage and show out on their home court? Or, were the The LA Rams of baking, yes that is two sports in a single metaphor, let's move past it. Carbo Loading Week means it’s time to put some bread and spread on the table and it...

Back on set once again and this time we backed a truck up full of produce. Wildly colored carrots, beets, citrus and something called a loquat. Get on in here and sample our wares. This week, these chefs were on it. Beautifully seasoned dishes plated in ways that made the food damn near art which means we had a great time discussing the show’s output this week. We know you will enjoy the show, and...

We are back with some more Big Brunch fun. This week’s theme, Hangover Cures. From Blood Mary’s to Chicken and Waffles are returning chefs put in that work and we judge it from the safety of our microphones. In this week’s Baker’s Make The World Go Round , some mark ass trick and trick ass marks speak ill of retiring Bake-Off Presenter Matt Lucas and we simply had to interject. Ohh, can we all agr...

Told you we would be back! We’re recapping HBOMax’s The Big Brunch. Created, Hosted and Produced by the Canadian face of Clamato Dan Levy it’s a cooking competition show with heart. 10 Chef/Cooks are pit against each other for a prize of $300,000. Dan’s fellow host are Chef Sohla El-Waylly , formerly of Bon Appétit and Restaurateur and James Beard Award winner Will Guidara . Our contestants this s...

Well, here we are, one last time. It’s the Finals for Series 13 of The Great British Bake-Off and well, it was just a… You know what, give the ep a listen to get our breakdown and feelings about not only the final, but this entire series/season and what’s up next for your hosts. Oh, okay, a little bit of a spoiler for the liner notes readers, you get not one but two Baker’s Make The World Go Round...

For a Semi-Final, this episode was pretty lackluster, and not just because NicJu wasn’t able to join us this week You get Ant and Tee discussing Patisserie Week and the sometimes, seemingly harsh judgment of one of the bakers. Of course, we have to hit you with a Bakers Make The World Go Round . How excited are you for the final? Signature- 6 Mini Charlottes Technical- 4 Chocolate Hazelnut & R...

What a disappointing week on multiple levels. The Quarterfinals are now and all the bakers had a pretty poor go in the tent this week. And sadly, in the end, a show favorite was shown the door.  However, this week’s Bakers Make The World Go Round is an interesting read but you also need this IG post for context. Next week, The Semi Finals, Patisserie Week, Signature- 12 Sweet Vol-Au-Vents Tec...

As the engine keep rolling toward its terminus, Bake Off keeps getting better and this week was no different. A signature where nearly everyone did really well. A super fun technical, and a showstopper where Star Baker was certainly decided means we had one heck of a week in the tent. But not everyone agrees with the crew, including the author of this week’s Bakers Make The World Go Round article’...

Week 6 and for the first time ever, we are getting spooky with it. The first ever Halloween Week was a delightful return to form and everything that makes GBBO such a delight. A fierce week of competition and the strongest Star Baker performance maybe ever (like for real). We also discovered that the Brits don’t fully grasp what s’mores should be like, a subject addressed in this week’s Bakers Mak...

It’s Week 5 in the tent, meaning we are now halfway through. This week’s “ Bakers Make the World Go Round ” segment proves more infuriating than insightful. However, this week was a return to form and everything we love about GBBO. The person who needed to go home was indeed sent packing, and this week’s Star Baker really earned the title this week. As always, we hope you enjoyed our visit to the...
