S8E5: That's the Kind of Thing You Inseminate Cows With
Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 8 Episode 5, which features a school pudding signature, a molten chocolate pudding technical challenge, and a trifle terrine showstopper. The custard for Kate’s “Mr Darcy's Steamy Lake Scene' Steamed School Pudding is “embarrassing,” Julia is baffled by British puddings, and Yan reveals her modus operandi: “if you’re going to serve a cake, send it phallic.” andrea’s first bajillion attempts at trifle terrine fail miserably, but they prevail.

S8E4: Taking Caramel of Business
Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 8 Episode 4, which features a millionaire’s shortbread signature, a stroopwafel technical challenge, and a sugarwork-y caramel cake showstopper. Liam makes a Tetris-themed salted caramel peanut butter millionaire’s shortbread, somehow no one in the tent has gotten stoned and eaten stroopwafels in the Netherlands, and Yan bakes an entire jungle around a river of caramel. andrea goes their own way with a mystery bake this week.

S8E3: Do You Flour Your Finger?
Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 8 Episode 3, which features a teacake (the bread roll-ish kind!) signature, a cottage loaf technical challenge, and a multicoloured bread sculpture showstopper. Tempting the bread gods, Flo says she is unworried about this week. Not everyone fingers their cottage loaves properly, and Julia creates a very evocative-looking snail. andrea attempts the showstopper, baking a bunch of beets.

S8E2: Bakes and Ladders
Kim and andrea recap Great British Bake Off Series 8 Episode 2, which features a sandwich cookie signature, a fortune cookie technical challenge, and a biscuit board game showstopper. Chris puts chia seeds in his cookies, Sophie’s lemoncino and yuzu biscuits win over the judges, and andrea and Kim need to figure out how to set aside their biases against overly gimmicky showstoppers. andrea bakes a cardamom icebox cookie sandwich with strawberry rhubarb ginger jam using produce from their allotment—sorry, garden.

Palate Cleanser: Is It Cake? S1E2
To take a break before watching season 8 of Great British Bake Off, Kim and andrea recap a show they did not expect to enjoy as much as they did — Is It Cake? Season 1, Episode 2, “Phony Fashion.” The bakers get eight hours to bake a hyper-realistic shoe, clutch, and bucket hat. Too much fondant features. Kim eats Samyang fire chicken ramen because andrea cannot.

Customer Reviews
This is my go-to podcast every Friday!
Good humor, smart commentary, warm and personal. It's like a conversation between two friends who loves the show and just wanted to nerd out on it afterwards. It's like I'm the third, very quiet person at the table
Can’t get enough Bake Off
I am looking forward to future episodes to accompany my own rewatching of each season.
