An Oreo cookie crust is one of the best things in life. That looks great!

I don’t know, and don’t wish to know, about chlorinated chickens.

I love that show. Waiting for the last season to be realeased here. Sad about the shake up.

How’s Calvin’s noggin?

We just watched it this weekend, my daughter especially loves that show!

Funny about all of the UK baked good discussion here - I was just searching for a new fruit & sponge cake recipe to make for my wife’s birthday, and all of my results came up for Victoria sponge cake. I’ve been turning grams into ounces and cups in my head all morning.

Actually the new presenters are brilliant. It’s proof that institutions can be bigger than the people inside them.

The spot seems to have disappeared. I’m fairly sure he got a knock on the head that resulted in some minor bloodshed. In all other regards he appears normal.

That’s great to know. I haven’t seen any previews or anything here yet. We’re so far behind!

Hey, they’re just trying to cool off like everyone else.

For the best carrot cake of all time, use this recipe:

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/grandma-hiers-carrot-cake-recipe-1917589

ETA: The recipe suggests making it as a layer cake, but we just make it in a 13x9 pan. Super easy that way and tastes the same.

The only bad thing is that it’s on a commercial channel now, so there are breaks for adverts. Otherwise it’s every bit as good. The new presenters were superbly well cast.

I use Jenni V’s Best Carrot Cake Ever recipe.

We say the same about …hmmm the Italian cake that comes in a tin. Mind has gone blank.

Only number 2 counts.

Any kind of fruit cake is a big no. Marzipan even worse. And carrot cake is OK as long as a) it doesn’t have raisins in it and b) it doesn’t have that disgusting frosting on it.

I absolutely agree with you on that abomination of baked “New York style” cheesecake. It should be light and fluffy. Bella Italia used to do a good one, Cafe Nero still does and actually those packets of no bake cheesecake even are delicious! :joy: And absolutely never, ever drizzled with that icky raspberry sauce they insist on putting on ice cream.

Panettone?

Best. Show. Ever. And I surprised myself by loving the new hosts and judge. Although I do miss Mary saying “scrummy”…

That’s the one!

You are dead to me.

Hmm. Well, OK, half-dead.

Did you make that? If so, I’m coming over now!

Yum … :heart:

How can I be dead if I’m still on “the list”?

Wait, so I’m a zombie then? Can zombies eat cake? Then we’re good.
