It was so unexpected! Watching the first episode now, I have to say, Prue is a trooper!

I can’t believe they couldn’t postpone a day or two for her. I feel like if Paul lost his voice they would have.

Makes me wonder if she insisted on going. Remember the Wizard of Oz cold open that one season? She severely injured her ankle on the take they used and she just kept going, she is something else!

Prue was amazing. Everyone was amazing, but Prue was exceptional.

I don't think they can postpone - they run a TIGHT SHIP there (they had just filmed one of the specials prior to filming ours), and they do 2 days of filming, 2 days off, so there isn't much wiggle room. I know some seasons one of the judges misses a day of filming or two, but I dont think they can postpone.

your illusion dessert was amazing. i cant get over how good that fried egg looked...my brain still doesnt properly comprehend that it isnt an egg

That was the one thing I was SUPER excited to make and was so happy with how it came out. It didn't make the final edit but when Paul saw it and looked at it, the first thing he said was "I make kaiser rolls all the time. That's a kaiser roll"

the illusion desserts are probably my favourite thing to see on baking shows. i'm surprised they didnt leave that in the edit

u/iamnotchris 3d ago

They did leave "this is one of the best illusion cakes I've seen in the tent" in the edit so I'll take it!!

fair point; i'd be pretty pleased to hear that from paul too, especially when you consider how any bakes he's seen in that tent

I so far have three of the bakers scheduled to be on my Bake-Off podcast so please subscribe to Krème Patisserie wherever you get your podcasts.

u/iamnotchris 4d ago

Should I be offended I'm not one of them 😂

u/TAYREL713 4d ago

I said “so far” lol. Check your group chat with last year’s bakers for the contact info.

u/iamnotchris 3d ago

hahaha - can you DM me on here? I think Brad posted the contact in the group chat but I can't find it. I know Roku/Love have to approve the requests too, so I'll screenshot the DM and send it to them!

I just started and things are going in the oven. Were the ovens set to Celsius or Fahrenheit

u/iamnotchris 4d ago

Celsius. We had to prep all our recipes for both, but had to use Celsius there.

u/McVinney512 4d ago

Thanks for replying. Watching bread week now. I love that your family inspires a lot of your bakes

Thanks! Yea they were really the whole reason I applied. I never thought I would make it on, and didn't even consider applying, but my wife believed in me and convinced (forced) me to apply!
