A Date With The Bake

It’s time to finally untie the aprons and switch those ovens to off. We have reached the end of another season of The Great British Bake Off. As usual it was filled with laughs- provided chiefly by Noel and Sandy (and many dirty winks for us at home), tears – provided most by Kimberly as she watched the loves of her young life slowly leave the tent, and lots of cake, puns, buns and pat...

This episode may be late, but unfortunately there has been a tragedy…One of the personal sort, and the other of the international scandalous sort. Yes. Henry has left the tent. K & K have lots of feelings about rough puff and full puff and what actually constitutes a US vs. UK pie.  But what this episode is really about, besides the quest for good, good, good lamination is the very real...

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...

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&#82...

The results have left us speechless. Well, not really because when it comes the Bake-off there is always something to discuss. But the Roaring 20’s week have left us feeling like we just got a custard pie of our own right in the face. 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...

Like, don’t have a cow, man! The bakers are back in the tent for Week 4 and Kimberly and Katie are here to discuss the best and worst dairy themed bakes of the weekend, as well as the stomach churning final decision that leaves all the bakers in a state of shock. As we reach the halfway point- who seems to be stumbling on the curdles and which bakers will find a whey to milk this opportunity...

This weeks episode is carbo-loaded full of all things bread! A few of our bakers are rising to the challenge and a few really go a rye. There are a lot of hot crossed puns and one particularly hot button issue (cheesegate) while Paul Hollywood, the bread king, keeps a particularly watchful eye on the contestants baps and bakes. The bakers really knead to prove themselves in these challenges if the...

Last weeks judging and sudden DAN-parture may have left you with a bad taste in your mouth don’t toss those cookies yet! It’s time for biscuit week and the Bakers are ready to pull out all the stops to keep that crunch, snap, soft, (insert texture adjective of your choice here) that will impress the discerning palettes of Paul and Prue. of A Date with The Bake! Kimberly and Katie are r...

Welcome to the first installment of A Date with The Bake! Kimberly and Katie are ready to delve into the sticky (toffee pudding) underbelly of the UK’s most famous competition baking show. Ok, maybe not so much investigative reporting as gabbing and reviewing the first week of one of our favorite shows- The Great British Bake Off (or Baking Show, depending on your liking). This Series 7 open...
