Biscuit Week is always a creative and fun week in the Bake Off tent, and chocolate biscuit bars is a delicious signature challenge to start things off. All the ideas the contestants came up with sounded really interesting and delicious. We also got to know a bit more about the bakers – it was lovely to see so many of the bakers this year have either a musical and creative side to them.
From the start of the show Michelle looked very confident and in control of her chocolate biscuits – and for good reason. Her chocolate bars turned out beautifully, both sounding and looking delicious. Michelle seems to be the most confident of the bakers in the tent this year and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her glide through to the finals.
Amelia, on the other hand, had great sounding flavour combinations but the biscuits didn’t turn out as fantastic, lacking both crispness and crunch. She was definitely in danger from the get-go.
Jamie seemed carefree, not too stressed and so relaxed that while everyone was getting the biscuits out of the moulds he was only just putting them into the fridge. This meant that the biscuits were not set in time, but lovely Michelle stepped in to help him at the last minute. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to rescue his disastrous bake.
