We have some great questions to discuss this week, which is perhaps better than discussing Garibaldi biscuits.

New bake off brings new bakers, fizzing 17cm red velvet cake, and a lack of recipes.

Why can no one say the chocolate bar's name? We sneakily say it during this episode, I hope you'll forgive us.
