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...

Thank you for the kind words, ladies. There were not many entries apart than myself, so it is a bit embarrassing!blush

Well deserved for the sugar topped Chelsea buns alone. [dribbles]

How very well organized you are, Rowan! I hate Christmas cake and pudding so don't do them.

Rowantree Sun 05-Oct-14 19:42:12

I've got a Christmas cake in the oven....:D I love making Christmas cakes and puds. The pudding will be next!

No Lucy, I didn't have a melt-down! smile

shysal WOW. No 'bincident' for you then!

shysal Thu 28-Aug-14 12:27:27

At GCs' request I had a go at this today. Unfortunately in our haste to eat it, I forgot to include the Gransnet notice! Took pictures of screen shots hoping you can read the date of photos.

My darling daughter is called Venetia and she is fed up of being asked, ' how do you make a Venetian blind?' The questioner could easily have a demonstration!

One of our girls favourite jokes when they were little- always on the ski slopes:

'How do you make a Swiss roll?'

Easy, push her down the hill.

I like my baking simple and wholesome- no need for all this fussy fancy stuff, really.
