We're three weeks in now and feeling inspired. Swiss rolls? We've had a good old go (and paved over the cracks). Florentines? We've given it our best shot hmm And now we'd love to see your best bakes.

Post a picture of your creation (sticking to the most recent episode's theme - last week was biscuits, so up to tonight your bake should be a biscuit of some description!) and at the end of the series, we'll choose a winner who'll receive some rather lovely cook books.

Make sure you stick one of the above signs by your masterpiece, too! Though we'll accept handwritten...minus logo...

That's more like it, Elegran - savoury does it for me every time!

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 20:09:59

It takes more cheese than you think. Grate what you think will do, then add a bit more. Most of the cheese and all the onion are spread on and roled up like the sultanas and butter/sugar in a standard Chelsea bun, the last of the cheese goes on top just before it goes in the oven.

I must give those a try Elegran.

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 20:02:41

I make cheesy oniony buns. Chelsea but with sauted onion and grated cheese.They are very good (no pic, sorry)

GCs and I invented the recipe for the pizza ones, I promise you they taste good, Jingle, especially when warm. I freeze them individually and microwave them for a few seconds when they want a snack after school.

Those are the best. (sweet ones)

Pizza flavoured chelsea buns! I ask you! hmm

shysal Fri 22-Aug-14 13:22:00

I could post lots of old photos but, having always been a googy-goody smile I shall obey the rules (my offerings in the oven as we speak)!
Pleased to see your posts jingle, was worried you were still poorly, hope you are feeling better.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 22-Aug-14 10:30:41

wink

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 22-Aug-14 10:30:23

Could be a yeast cake. hmm

Don't go getting over-competitive now.

I thought they had to fit the current week's theme and be labelled as in OP like Galen's fantastic loaf!
I am planning to make some savoury chelsea bun type things in the next day or so.

My take on Mary Berry's cherry cake after my husband found it!!!

Viennese whirl 'oyster' biscuits for an 'ocean themed' birthday.

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 15:04:26

No! It's stopped working again

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 14:38:48

Ah! Looks like tech's sorted it!

WELL DONE winecupcake

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 14:37:41

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 14:36:06

That was done on the iphone

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 14:35:33

My effort at a plain white loaf

Apologies everyone, I think some of you are having trouble uploading the photos of your lovely bakes. Bear with us, and please save your photos! We have discovered what the problem and hope to have it resolved soon.

Best,

GNHQ

Please see the query I've put under pictures iPad

rubysong Wed 20-Aug-14 22:16:35

I don't think this is going to work for me. I think my picture was to big. It's taken on a tablet and I don't know how to make it any smaller.

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 20-Aug-14 15:36:59

Hmm, seems ok from this end ruby - the box does grey out for a couple of seconds, but just while it's loading the picture. May need a little more time to load?

LucyGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 20-Aug-14 15:35:47

testing!

rubysong Wed 20-Aug-14 12:59:01

I still can't upload my photo. I can put it on the 'choose file' box but 'post message' grays out and it doesn't load.
