This week we were all thrown back nearly 100 years to the 1920s for yet another new GBBO theme to debut in series 10.


Four custard pies, 18 beignets soufflés and one prohibition cake later, we said goodbye to not one but two bakers this week as finally the double departure came forth.


Jane and Howard weren’t entirely sure the right bakers left or that we need new themes in GBBO but both found common ground on the back of our self raising selfie story, believing that when it comes to judging cake competitions around the country, spiralizers as prizes remain the best way forward.
