GBBS - Series 15 - Recap

Kayla and Liz wrap up their Series 15 coverage with a look back at things they said earlier in the season. What did they get wrong? What did they get right? What did they learn and plan to implement for guessing in Series 16? And most importantly - Who won Fantasy Bake-Off?! New (crime-y) episodes coming in 2025!

GBBS - Series 15 - Finale

We have a winner! It was a bit tense, but ultimately a satisfying outcome. Kayla and Liz talk about the bakes (as always), prior finales and champions, and try to drum up some sponsorships from local businesses.

GBBS - Series 15 - Patisserie Week

The Patisserie Week Semi-Final was a close one! The remaining bakers are so talented and so evenly matched. Kayla and Liz endured (and maybe almost enjoyed?) the stressful episode and make their final picks of the season!

GBBS - Series 15 - 70s Week

1970s Week was groovy! The lowdown on this episode is that it was full of delicious sounding retro bakes that looked hideous. There was no Jello. Kayla and Liz recap the episode, judge the judges a bit, and try to read the Instagram tea leaves to figure out who has won.

GBBS - Series 15 - Dessert Week

Kayla and Liz have been stressed so good thing they had Dessert...s Week. The competition is wrapping up (next week is the quarter final!) and yet somehow each week is even harder to predict -- even though there are fewer options. Grab yourself a slice of spotted dick and enjoy the discussion of baking, steaming, and how close to death we feel.

GBBS - Series 15 - Autumn Week

Thankfully, there were no cakes made of dead leaves during Autumn Week. But that would have been something! It was a very tense episode with 2 of Kayla and Liz's favorite Bakers in contention for elimination. They also discuss the fall flavors, hiding vegetables in cake, and Guy Fawkes Day (which they have no business talking about).

GBBS - Series 15 - Pastry Week

That's a wrap on pastry week! Kayla and Liz once again talk about how good the bakers are this year and how difficult it is to determine who's going to get star baker each week. They discuss the lack of soggy bottoms and their confusion over what "foreign cuisine" is in Great Britain.

GBBS - Series 15 - Caramel Week

Caramel Week was a journey - as is Kayla and Liz’s recap of it. They discuss how funny this episode was and how the Bakers didn’t perform with caramel as well as they did with bread. Hopefully you find this episode as entertaining as the hosts find themselves/each other when they get off on tangents. Correction: Around the 30-minute mark, Liz talks about Mike, but she totally meant John. Sorry!Signature: Caramel Biscuits Technical: Pear Tarte Tatin with Caramel Walnut Ice Cream ...

GBBS - Series 15 - Bread Week

Bread Week proved to be one to remember! (Proved. Get it?) Kayla and Liz cannot get over how good the bakers are this season. They also discuss how the non-cumulative nature of the competition makes it very difficult to not say something one week that will inevitably make you sound like a fool in the very near future.

GBBS - Series 15 - Biscuit Week

Biscuit Week is in the books! (It was also in the tent.) Kayla and Liz fawn over the flavors, the artistry, and the word "faff." They also realize that they are not casual Bake-Off fans.

GBBS - Series 15 - Cake Week

That's a wrap on week 1, Cake Week! Kayla and Liz dig into the scrummiest bakes, revisit their predictions from last week, say the word "duck" as much as their iPhones think they are, and learn about British weather and slang.
