Author: Bake With A Legend November 4, 2020 Duration: 52:51

The 7th week of Bake Off 2020 left Howard feeling a little uncertain as to quite how '1980s' it was really was, but after making a quiche, some finger doughnuts and an ice cream cake, we can't deny we were in need of eating something sweet as we watched Hermine become the seventh different star baker in as many weeks.


We saw Laura forget to turn on a button which almost saw her bid farewell to the tent, but in the end it was Lottie's cassette tape that wasn't functioning properly as the star baker from just a week ago was given her marching orders, leaving us with five bakers for our quarter-final.


Josh, Jane, Howard and Dan Beasley Harling recorded this podcast remotely via Zoom. We'd like your questions and comments to keep us going. Hit us up at thebakedown@bakewithalegend.com and we'll read out your comments on the upcoming episodes.
