Junior Bake Off

gillybob, your DGD sounds better than those on Bake Off! Does she clear up after herself as well? Some of my DGCs like to bake (they love the word 'moist'), but the kitchen looks like a war zone afterwards.

My eldest DGD (aged 9) loves the junior bake off and reckons that she could beat them all hands down. She probably could as she is a fantastic little baker. She needs no help whatsoever now and can produce a beautifully decorated sandwich cake, muffins, Swiss role (her current favourite) cookies, scones etc. that would be the envy of any experience cook. My mum has a fabulous Kitchen Aid and if my DGD can get her little hands on it she's in heaven.

Didn't k ow it was on

At the moment there are 4 contestants per day, and only one goes through to the next round, so at least there are three 'losers' each time.

I have never watched Bake Off, either adult or junior, but I do hope they do not do that grim "And the person who will be told to b****r of this week is..." with the children.
