Great British Bake Off/Show S.8 – Pastry Week

Other than the Great British Bake Off’s infamous bread week, which always seems to separate the wheat from the chaff, the week that seems to show which bakers are really the crème (de pat) of the crème is PASTRY WEEK. Kimberly and Katie introduce Jake to the world of rough puff, short crust, soggy bottoms and curdled custard fillings. This year a few of the bakers are touting Pastry week as “their” week which never bodes well for success with such a finnicky category. International flavors abound! More floral decorations than you can wave a cookie sheet at! Laughter! Tears! Geography lessons! Get that butter chilling ’cause… it’s A Date with the Bake!
