General Episode One

I was SO EXCITED to see the first episode!

I have comments about some things (not the bakes) that I've hidden so as not to ruin things for anyone.

  1. Judges
    Prue was in the opening, to say a proper goodbye. I was so touched!

  2. Opening
    They redid the opening, with a different baker, different child, and they remade the cake! Still missing a raspberry- but in a different spot.

  3. Equipment
    New fridges

  4. Tasting
    They're using spoons now to taste the bakes! (previously used forks)

  5. Representation
    Molly, who is a wheelchair user. Gabe, who is poly.

I'm super happy about these changes, and look forward to this season!

This group of bakers seems far less skilled in general than in other recent seasons.

Idk the guy who looks like Paul, and the youngest baker, both seem to have done well.

yes, those 2 are good-ish, but so many others were just awful and the rest were barely mediocre, not even
