Velociraptor Oct 2016 10:52pm, 12 Oct 2016 34,679 posts	0 Velociraptor It was a truly dreadful theme. This series appears to have included a lot of barrel-scraping challenges. Apart from the dampfnudeln, which nobody else much liked, I haven't seen anything I've fancied attempting.

Helegant Oct 2016 7:25am, 13 Oct 2016 3,548 posts	0 Helegant I'll break with the thread culture here and say that I like marzipan, and thought the swan coffee cake looked good and sounded delicious. The celtic biscuits looked pretty too (some of them). Choosing to make a peacock was a brave choice after the last series. an't say I was over-struck with the idea but the three layers of green were interesting. Given the bowl/barrel-scraping nature of this year's challenges it may be 'a very good thing' that the current version is coming to an end.

Green poo! I quite like aniseed and caraway too. Tough call on who will win. Any of them could have a great day or a bad day.
