Great British Bake Off episode 1 2017 - Cake Week
Great British Bake Off episode 1 2017 - Cake Week: Cake Week sees the bakers take on a fruity challenge. Prue sets her first technical - a kids' party favourite. Plus, the trickiest showstopper ever set in the first week of Bake Off: an illusion cake.
Culinary competition in which amateur cooks compete in a variety of culinary challenges, hoping to be crowned Britain's best amateur baker. Contestants create a wide range of sweets and pastry dishes, before the judges cast a critical eye over their efforts. Each week, the bakers must prepare their own take on a tried-and-tested recipe, complete a technical challenge with minimal instructions, and finally pull out all the stops to create an outstanding showcase of their talents.
There’s no smile like the smile of a baker whose showstopper has worked. After weeks of planning and hours of toiling, the glow of relief when judges love the result is a pleasure to watch – one of the things this show reliably delivers. But it delivers disasters, too… This is biscuit week and the final challenge is to make working replicas of childhood toys. We get gingerbread pinball machines, rocking horses, windmills – even a snooker table complete with balls and cues. They’re creations to gladden the hardest heart – just as long as they don’t fall to biscuity pieces.
Elsewhere, the bakers have worked out ways to the judges’ good books: deploy ginger for Paul and for Prue, use the booze. Harder is navigating the teasy-bantery bits. Noel Fielding this week sports a ponytail like a goth Steven Seagal, but his wit is as offbeat as ever: “I didn’t go to school,” he jokes at one point. “I was raised by pangolins.”
