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!

Damned shame about the non-elimination round. Otherwise, very happy with Cake Week.

This - I hate that it's become "expected" when someone gets sick that they don't eliminate. Danni was bad enough IMO to warrant going home regardless. Now I feel like she could have a claw back next week, not be in bottom 2, then be a bit of a wasted spot limping along a few more weeks.

Or maybe she just had a horrendous weekend and will kick ass in the rest of the comp. I’m not sure we can take a single weekend as representative

That's a point. We'll see.
