Gifting Ideas
If you’re stuck on gifting ideas, why not plan something baking related?! Baking gifts always go down really well, especially this time of year and Cake Angels have the most gorgeous selection of goodies that would be perfect for creating your own baking related gift.

Snowman Hot Chocolate Kit
I love making my own gifts, I think it makes it that bit more special when you’ve really thought about it and made something yourself. At this time of year what is better than coming home from a long day at work, sticking the kettle on curling up on the sofa and watching TV with a big old mug of hot chocolate?! (nothing right?). What’s even better than that? Snowman themed hot chocolate with extra sprinkles.

"I love making my own gifts, I think it makes it that bit more special when you’ve really thought about it and made something yourself"

Grab yourself 3 Kilner jars, or washed out jam jars, whatever you have to hand. Fill the bottom one with some sprinkles, or something yummy to top the Cake Angels Chocolate frosting on the hot chocolate (there's no such thing as chocolate overload!). I recommend Cake Angels Zillionaire Sprinkles to give it a delicious salted caramel fudge-y taste! Or, for a more colourful hot chocolate treat, why not go for the Rainbow Sprinkles?

Zillionaire Sprinkles 70g

£1.90

White Mini Marshmallows

£1.50

Gorgeous Chocolate Frosting 300g

In the middle jar, fill with your hot chocolate powder of choice. If you’re going to go for the fudge sprinkles why not go for a fudge or caramel flavoured powder too? And finally in the top jar, fill with some mini Cake Angels White Mini Marshmallows which aren't only incredibly yummy, but looks so cute and snowy too. Then, simply decorate your jar to look like a snowman. Layer the jars on top of each other to create his body, add a ribbon scarf and stick on a face with paper or googly eyes. You can even give him a hat if you want to! I think this is such a cute gift idea and perfect for all age groups... after all, who can resist a hot choc at Christmas?

Fancy giving this home-gift a try? Use my exclusive Archangel code ARCHANGEL-EVIE20 for 20% off, and treat yourself and your loved ones to these cute, food-styling essentials!

iPhone Cases
iPhone cases are such a fab gift idea; everyone loves having lots of different cases to put on their phone it’s almost like changing your outfit, and there are SO many cute ones available now. I love having a glittery one on for this time of year. When I think Christmas I think sparkles and the sparklier the better! You can also get cases printed with photos on which I think is such a lovely personal touch. If you want to design your own phone case on CaseApp then you can use the code 20WHATEVIEDID for 20% off!

I know Cake Angels are huge fans of all things magical so this unicorn case would go down a treat at their HQ! There's also a galaxy vibe with this rocket phone case, just in time for the launch of Cake Angels' new Intergalactic sprinkles (available at Tesco!) which I LOVE.

Instax Mini
If you want to splash out a bit more, then why not treat someone to an Instax mini Polaroid camera?! These are so cute, perfect for capturing memories and so special having the actual photo printed rather than it just being on your phone! These come in such gorgeous colours and look so cute themselves in photos! It’s not the type of thing that you’d probably splash out on yourself so it’d be a perfect gift for someone for Christmas! I also heard on the Archangel grapevine that Cake Angels are doing a Christmas giveaway featuring this little beauty so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on their Instagram, over at @CakeAngelsUK!

Bake Off Reactions - THE FINAL

5 Comments

Read Now

The Great British Bake Off final has aired and with it ensured absolute chaos! The heat has clearly got to us all - there have been glass jars exploding, meltdowns at the fire pit, fiery Twitter debates filling our news feeds, and now the nation is looking for the answer to the question we all need to know; what will we do with our Tuesday nights now Bake Off has finished?!

At Cake Angels, we want to congratulate our three finalists Kim-Joy, Ruby and Rahul for absolutely smashing it over and over again throughout the show; you guys have been a pleasure to watch.

So, onto the results... If you haven't seen it yet, SPOILER ALERT! Scroll down now to hear about last nights' drama, plus we reveal GBBO's 2018 winner!

GBBO 2018 WINNER IS... RAHUL!

YASSSSS RAHUL! We have to admit that we would have equally loved to see Kim-Joy OR Ruby win because all three of them have been fabulous, but Rahul has been a great watch! If there's anything we, or our Angels, can learn from this guy is that perseverance and a little self-belief goes a really long way.

Name a cuter contestant on the show... I'll wait. Rahul, our three-time BAE of the week and his self-proclaimed 'depressing' personality has made us laugh from the very beginning, and we've become pretty emotionally invested over the past few weeks.

Whether it's his apologetic bakes or clumsy baking disasters, we couldn't get enough of him, especially on Twitter. This is what you lot have had to say about our 2018 winner (from national treasure to teacher's pet - ouch)!

This is EXACTLY how we pictured Rahul's success too...

...and over to the haters!

One of our favorite moments from the show had to be Ruby's pie in the face from the other two, as she reassured she loved them before the big reveal.

Rahul is just another level of rejection.

If Rahul did Halloween...

Overall, it was a brilliant series with some of the best BAE-kers we've seen on the show. Whether you're a Rahul fan or not, the suspense and surprises have been a fabulous watch (and at least Prue didn't give the winner away this time)! Already feeling the post-GBBO blues? Take a read of our Reactions Blog from the past 10 weeks and re-live the Twitter drama following the show. Until next year, happy baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Patisserie Week

12 Comments

Read Now

Semi-finals!

The semi-final special, when four became just three! Week nine of the nation's favorite baking competition saw Briony leave the tent after making a rookie mistake that would could have seen her go in the first couple of weeks. Hint to all bakers: label your salt and sugar, there's no coming back when you mix these two up! So salty patisseries weren't to the judges taste-buds, but it's fair to say everyone was sad to see the group downsize, leaving Rahul, Ruby and Kim-Joy in line for the baking throne.

BAE of the Week

RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBYYYY (ahhh-ahhhhh-ahhhh-ahhhhh-ahh-ahhhhhh)

Our BAE of the week is star baker, and 29-year-old project manager from London, Ruby Bhogal. We think Ruby has channelled the true Cake Angels vibe over the weeks and is absolutely smashing the competition now when it matters most! From her sassy way with Paul and cute friendship with Noel to her always-on, bold lipstick and love for boozy bakes, we couldn't find a girl we'd want to be baking in the kitchen with more. This week Ruby baked her way to the top, making a fabulous come-back after the first break in last nights show, creating an array of Parisian patisseries for the showstopper round.

Noel's Angels

It seems that one of last night's biggest talking points was our main man Noel Fielding, as the Twitter-sphere confessed their love for both his whacky shirt and caring nature towards the beaten down contestants! We're big fans of the presenter so we're calling ourselves Noel's Angels to show our appreciation. We all need a guy like Noel in our lives.

We'd be comforting our lovely Kim-Joy too, she's just too sweet!

... and when the baking gets tough, eat your feelings away (we are 100% certain Kim-Joy's feelings taste absolutely incredible).

We could feel the pressure through our TV screens last night, we're fully invested now!

Noel trying to cheer Rahul up each week is actually giving us life. The two-time star baker has fully become the infamous gloomy character, Eeyore, but can Noel keep his spirits high for the final?

When the going gets tough...

We feel you Ruby..

Saying bye to the beautiful Briony

We've loved watching this brilliant baker and can't wait to see what she gets up to in the future. Next week won't be the same - WE MISS YOU!

Twitter seems to be thinking a certain someone else should be going... (behave you guys).

Next week is THE FINAL?!

How have we just had week nine?! It's going too fast and before we know it we're going to be lost in the world of post-Bake Off, and we are NOT ready! Who will win? Will Rahul make it through the winner announcement next week? Will Prue reveal the winner 24 hours too early? Will Dan run away with the winner's trophy cake stand? We can only wait to see how it all pans out in next week's final!

We'll see you all back here next Wednesday for the lowdown on the Great British Bake Off final!
Happy baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Danish Week

10 Comments

Read Now

The blog is back for our Bake Off Reactions, and this week it's all about the Danish! In honor of presenter Sandi Toksvig, Danish Week was another first for the series and presented a few pivotal challenges for our bakers. It also seemed to get very emotional in the tent as the quarter-finals played out, making the competition even tougher for everyone fighting for a place in the final. But as usual, the bakers put their competitiveness aside and grouped together to remember last weeks knock-out Jon, donning his signature, Hawaii shirt look, and helping one another with their Danish designs.

Even the presenters and Prue had their own patterned uniform for the show.

BAE of the Week
Before we get stuck in, it's time to announce our BAE of the Week, and this time we're mixing it up.

It's none other than Sandi! We thought now would be a great time to show our appreciation for one of our favorite presenters, especially as we all had food envy over them beautiful Danish creations made by the bakers this week. She's served up the sass and humor this series but it was helping hand and kindness towards a crying Kim-Joy last night that helped us make our decision. It seems you lot are backing us too with this one!

It was a harsh week for judge's comments and we couldn't help but feel for Kim-Joy, especially as her Danish Pastry was still absolutely incredible!

I mean, we shouldn't laugh but this one tickled us.

Well done Sandi for helping our girl Kim-Joy through some tough critiques. Shame on you Paul! Clearly someone's been told to rein in the Hollywood handshake and done a complete U-turn with feedback.

Bake Off Breakdowns
...and there seems to be only one person responsible on Twitter (the people have spoken)!

It wasn't just Kim-Joy put to the test in last night's show. It seemed that all the bakers were pushed to the limit, including Rahul who has had a brilliant track record up until now. Three of Rahul's worst bakes in the competition happened to all land on Danish Week and our fave began to question his place in the semi-finals (we can't look)!

Luckily, Noel was on hand to help lighten the situation! We're not entirely sure Rahul 'gets' him though...

We definitely appreciated it Noel!

Tent Politics on Twitter
It was the debate of the series last night on Twitter after Rahul's worst week in the tent still didn't see him being sent home. Some are calling it a fix, a 'Hollywood Hoax', some say Manon's failed attempt to follow the brief was deserving of getting the boot, but we're staying firmly on the fence with this one! Were you #TeamManon or #TeamRahul?

Simmer down guys, it's Danish Week. Let's celebrate the beautiful creation of the Danish Pastry, the dessert you can disguise as breakfast at a morning business meeting!

After all, Manon's taking her exit pretty well considering...

The Caption Awards
We've found some pretty good captions this week, here's the top three everyone can relate to.

That's another week done and dusted, so it's time to get our patisserie on! So who do you think will win, is it too early to say or have you had a fave from the start? Let us know in the comments below and keep up to date with our Bake Off Reactions every Wednesday! We can't wait to see what you have to say.

Bake Off Reactions - Vegan Week

8 Comments

Read Now

Get your vegan on!

Welcome back Angels, it's good to see you on this fine Bake Off Reactions' Wednesday! Let's talk Vegan Week and it's first appearance on the Great British Bake Off because... wow. There's been nothing but drama surrounding this week's theme, from boycotts to cake collapses. and you guys definitely haven't missed a beat! Whether you're loving Bake Off's take on the latest food trend or staying clear of dairy alternatives for your own recipes, it's fair to say Vegan Week has been one of the most entertaining throughout the series.

BAE of the Week
Nothing to see here! We would like to dedicate this very special, Cake Angels acknowledgement to one guy and one guy only. Rahul, thank you for providing us with two hilarious and almost miss-able moments this week, we really appreciate it.

It's ok Rahul, we've all been there. Turns out everyone is still loving this extremely talented baker and team Rahul is going nowhere. You've found a national treasure here, GBBO.

But who was watching closely and noticed how adamant Rahul was that he was leaving in next week's teaser clip?! We won't let this happen (even if it is all prerecorded and the bakers are keeping quiet about the outcome)!

Going, Going... GONE!
Vegan Week is one baker Ruby will never forget as her top-heavy cake collapsed and laid helplessly on the table, while the contestants had all escaped the tent for some fresh air. It was that moment we watched the wonky bake, drizzled in chocolate, slide slowly off the bottom tier in front of everyone's eyes that we shouted "NOOOO!" at the TV. We're sorry Ruby but it was brilliant.

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us, Ruby.

But if there's one thing we can take away from this, is the beautiful moment pre-collapse that saw all of the girls help Ruby steady her cake. Teamwork makes the dream work girls, that's what we love to see!

Even Ruby took to Twitter to share her own reaction. Sending you a virtual hug and at least you're still here!

Bakers take to Twitter

If you don't already follow the bakers on Twitter, you need to start following them. Kim-Joy has been treating us to some on-the-side style bakes dedicated to ex-contestants Jon and Dan (and it's so cute!!)

It's also good to see Dan is taking his exit from the show relatively well...

What's next?
We loved Vegan Week and thought it was a great addition to the show but we were wondering what else GBBO could have in store for us, for the rest of the series? Unfortunately Jon, we don't think a Kebab Week is on the cards this year...

So this week we waved goodbye to the brilliant, ballet-baker Jon who will be sorely missed from the competition! Who will be leaving next and is it too early to put our vote on Kim-Joy or Rahul to win? Check in with us next Wednesday for the best of Twitter's reactions to GBBO. Happy baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Pastry Week

6 Comments

Read Now

So much to discuss this Pastry Week

Welcome back to the Reactions blog, where you'll find the best tweets, memes and commentary for the nation's favourite baking show. This week we saw the return of Pastry Week, the departure of the lovable Dan and some mad (hatter) bakes - see what we did there? In that case, let's talk BAE of the Week.

BAE of the Week

I'm not sure how this one previously escaped the accolade, but this week our shining star was happy-go-lucky Briony Williams from Bristol. We've loved watching her from the very beginning, and we're over the moon that the full-time mum received Star Baker last night! But no one is showing as much support and love for the Bristolian baker as her husband on Insta, also known as... well, @Steve_Brionys_husband (so cute)! Turns out we all need a supportive Steve in our lives, overflowing with admiration in their posts and drumming up the attention of social media. All of his pictures capture a day in the life of Briony, her media appearances and some brilliant selfies so definitely go check this guy out.

And be still our fluttering hearts, she even met up with one of our Bake Off faves... IT'S ONLY TEZZA! We hope this friendship lasts forever.

And let's take a moment to remember her week one masterpiece, incredible!

Paul is still a bit too handshake happy
Yeah yeah OK, the handshakes are getting "out of hand" (get it) - and you guys feel the same.

Then again, we're kind of thinking these handshakes are pretty well deserved, did you SEE those samosas?!

and Kim-Joy's mermaid pie?! So Cake Angels!

Prue and her necklaces
So let's see who's REALLY been watching; anyone else notice Prue's weird and wonderful, toy-like couture over the past few weeks? Well it seems a lot of you are just as eagle-eyed and can't help but draw similarities during the show, and we are LOVING IT.

Jon, what you doing BAE?

But don't worry, we're still loving you for that ballet-inspired showstopper and tutu.

Anyway, that's nothing compared to Dan's disturbingly realistic fish pastry. I mean, who wants to eat an uncooked fish? Artistic skill: 10/10. Appeal: 2/10.

and sadly for that and some unbaked samosas, that was the end of Dan's journey on Bake Off (there's going to be no one left soon)! We think you should keep up with the artistic bakes Dan, they look incredible but maybe steer away from the scaly, uncooked kind of vibe next time?

Continuing the love
The competition is certainly getting tougher but that doesn't stop the contestants being constantly supportive of each other!

If only the judges could be more like Rahul and this year everyone could win!

It's been another fabulous show and we can't wait to see what next week has in store. Especially when the teaser for Bake Off's first ever Vegan Week showed another potential #BinGate moment!!!

Join us back here next Wednesday, where will give you the latest reactions to your favourite show. Happy baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Spice Week

7 Comments

Read Now

The first ever Spice Week!

So we're already half way through our favourite show of the year and GBBO certainly added a little kick with its first ever Spice Week. Something tells us that Paul and Pru just wanted to taste more delicious cakes and biscuits so decided to add ginger to the mix, call it Spice Week and be done with it (we don't blame you guys)! From show-stopping biscuit chandeliers to booze-overload bakes, things definitely spiced up as we lost two brilliant contestants this week (WE STILL LOVE YOU TEZZA)!

BAE of the Week

I mean this isn't going to be much of a surprise to anyone that's been reading the Reactions blogs... WE LOVE RAHUL! While the cuteness overload coming from this guy has had us fawning over the show even more, it is Rahul's unbelievable consistency and amazing performance throughout Bake Off that has won us over this week. And, although he was beaten by Kim-Joy to this week's crown, the two-time Star Baker winner is yet to have a bad week. It seems the worst Rahul can do is apologise for being so talented, especially when Paul tells him he's "a little genius". We just can't get enough of him and it looks like neither can the rest of you!

We were far from shocked when Paul Hollywood dished out a well-deserved handshake to Rahul for his spiced masterpieces this week, but we're with you Twitter... that handshake is SO overdone now (rein it in Hollywood)!

Then again, these handshakes aren't just going out to any old crumpet or cake. Have you seen how high the stakes are with this year's showstopper tasks?!

No wonder things got a little heated between contestants in the tent (well, as heated as they get on GBBO)...

They're all just so kind to each other! The tent is filled with nothing but love between a bunch of lovely lovely humans - I don't think we'll ever get Love Island drama on this show (and it's just what we need)!

We couldn't agree more; and it seems more and more of you are talking about a day in the life of Kim-Joy, a wonderful, unique character we crowned our BAE of the Week last week!

Now for the moment that we've avoided for the whole blog (*extracts head from sand*). We're absolutely gutted that Spice Week marked the end of Terry and Karen's journey on Bake Off, and for the avid Reaction readers, you'll know Terry stole our hearts at the very beginning. It was Terry's leaving speech that rocked the nation as we realised just how important baking was to him. We wish him all the luck in the world and will miss his little face appearing on our screens every week!

We love you Tezza!

So that's Spice Week rounded up for you! We're already counting down the days to the next GBBO favourite, Pastry Week! Don't forget to catch up with us on the blog and enter our weekly competition. Happy baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Dessert Week

0 Comments

Read Now

It's Dessert Week in the tent!

Last night's Bake Off was definitely one to watch as Dessert Week was underway in the rolling grounds of Berkshire's Welford Park. But even with so much going on, from a wobbly technical to collapsing chocolate balls, we still missed our main guy Terry who couldn't bake in the show due to illness. And with Terry's absence came a plot twist... no elimination, making next week's show extra spicy as potentially two bakers face leaving the show. But which contestant is our BAE of the Week, potentially securing their (ballet first) position in the semi-finals? (OK, we're getting ahead of ourselves but it is Bake Off...)

BAE of the Week

That's right, our BAE of the Week is Welsh baker Jon who impressed us with a ballet-themed showstopper, taking inspiration from his daughter. But it wasn't just his amazing chocolate ball that melted to reveal a tasty treat inside that we loved. Jon is clearly one of our Archangels as his tad-aaah moment was made ten times better thanks to his bright pink tutu and first position stance that matched the ballet bake. Now THAT is how you present a showstopper.

He also helped a struggling Ruby finish her white chocolate ball so basically he's an all-round nice guy.

In fact, the whole tent seems to be full of love now as contestants become closer as the show continues. We're feeling the love!

It's time to talk about Kim-Joy
We're not actually sure how we've got this far into the series without talking about this brilliant human much. If you love all things bizarre and kooky (and we do!), this is your girl. Obviously we love all things creative and eccentric when it comes to bakes so Kim-Joy has always been one to watch for us. And it's not just us! Her out of this world, Galaxy chocolate ball with... wait for it... TURTLES hiding inside was the talking point of Twitter last night.

I think we all went a little crazy for the super cute turtles too...

It was a shame about those blancmanges though.

When all stressful and goes sloppy, we know how to make it all better.

It's still all about our BAE Terry
He might not have been on last night's show but we were all still wondering what wonderful concoctions our fave hipster would have created for Dessert Week.

and then we found ourselves slightly torn between missing him and being thankful that he wasn't there to stress us out with a ridiculous bake that could actually be his last (the guy definitely dares to bake big)!

All while some of us started speculating his tactics...

and relating to the contestants who went through the ups and downs of Bake Off for no real advancement into the next stage of the competition (everyone's through)!

Rahul's weekly cuteness update
It only seems right to have a little segment on the blog to talk about the adorable Rahul's latest antics in the tent. He is just brilliant - that face!

How can anyone not love the guy? With him treating the judges like royalty, we're expecting him to receive a knighthood after the show.

That's it from us this week but don't forget to catch up with us next Wednesday for Spice Week! We'll be posting a recipe on the blog on Tuesday so you can create your own spice-infused bakes (YUM) and if you go for a slightly fiery option, remember to drink your milk (take it from Rahul). Happy Baking!

Bake Off Reactions - Bread Week

0 Comments

Read Now

For the loaf of bread!

Bake Off was back last night with Bread Week and we saw Terry rise to the challenge, Paul Hollywood go soft, Antony become toast, and rejoiced as our fave BAE-ker Rahul was on an absolute roll. What a loaf of buns, PUNS… we mean puns, and it turns out Twitter was loving the particularly pun-centric theme too. BUT FIRST, are you bready to find out which contestant earned their Cake Angels wings?

BAE of the Week
As much as Rahul is still giving us major cuteness feels, we’ve cherry-picked (or beret-picked if you like) the baker that sprinkled some sass on Bread Week, with style.

We’re all about putting your own unique twist on your creations and totally owning, it so we’ve crowned Karen Wright our BAE of the Week. The 60-year-old baker from West Yorkshire demonstrated true Cake Angel vibes as she dared to bake insanely bright Chelsea Buns, while donning a bright red beret, with no regrets (YOU DO YOU BOO!) and we know she’d love your reactions…

Our BAE has defo taken the style spotlight from Noel this week – this is the colour POP on Bake Off we knead (just HAD to WORK that one in there).

The comment that shook the nation
Now, the love we have for Rahul is not to be taken lightly after last night’s show. He really is the gift that keeps on giving as he impressed the judges so much so with his Signature Bake that he was Star Baker for the second week in a row. But we’re more obsessed with the way the self-effacing yet emerging and potential Bake Off Champion felt the need to apologise before, during and after the judges had tasted his Chelsea buns *cries a little*.

We’re falling more in love with Rahul each week and it was his claim that he bakes to make new friends that went viral (the word cute doesn’t even cut it).

This was literally all of us.

And just when we composed ourselves...

Nope, we can’t deal.

No more “oh crumbs” for Terry…
We were DELIGHTED that Terry was able to deliver this week on Bake Off, just as our hipster BAE claimed hopefully that this would be his week. After coming close to elimination in the past couple of weeks, Britain went crazy for Terry as Paul revealed his tangy citrus Chelsea buns look just like the ones he makes, before winning the garlic naan technical.

That’s our guy!

Why is Greggs trending?
Oh for the loaf of bread, why are we so British…

To be fair, Greggs IS a national treasure (yep, we’re now drooling over them steak bakes).

And we wouldn’t be British without picking up on “tight buns” and THAT innuendo…

Another week, another treat
So, we said goodbye to self-acclaimed “Bollywood Baker” Antony this week and admittedly it’s getting harder each time (maybe it’s us that’s going soft!) We’re invested now. Buzzing to put our elasticated trousers on next Tuesday as Dessert Week returns, so we’ll meet you back here on Wednesday for a round up of the best reactions! Don’t forget to tag @Cake_Angels and hashtag #GBBO and #CakeAngels so we can find your tweets. Also check out our GBBO inspired recipes to get your bake on!

Bake Off Reactions - Cake Week

0 Comments

Read Now

It's Cake Week!

This summer was crazy hot. Britain served up a chart-busting heatwave that wasn't too far off Portugal's dreamy weather, well...dreamy for some but certainly not our bakers! Last night's Cake Week episode showed the temperature rising in the tent as contestants were challenged to work with chocolate... not ideal. The episode also broke Bake-Off records for the first EVER showstopper handshake, and it was met by the cutest reaction we’ve seen on the show! That’s why we’ve made Star Baker Rahul our BAE of the Week.

BAE of the Week

Rahul, winning at life: Star Baker, first ever Showstopper hand-shaker and THE cutest contestant

As overheard in Cake Angels HQ, this Rotherham-based Research Scientist is cuteness overload and we all just want to pick him up and put him in our pocket (then possibly point him to the kitchen to get baking)! We too were absolutely delighted when the first ever showstopper Hollywood Handshake landed over his beautiful cake

...especially when he walked up to the judge's table thinking Paul had found a cocktail stick in it.

And we think we can all relate to this guy, I mean... we've all had the same thoughts, right?

But while we were all jumping for joy for Rahul’s Cake Week success, we couldn’t help but notice the Hollywood handshake was everywhere in this week’s episode (what’s that all about?!). We applaud Twitter for sprinkling some sass on the Handshake Hour. Paul Hollywood be like...

Either way, receiving one is a big deal to contestants and we can’t help but cheer them on – we’re all suckers for the Hollywood Handshake effect.

Terry is still our Ride or Die

This guy was our BAE of the week, last week, but we can’t stop loving his daring approach to bakes, a love that BuzzFeed agreed will ultimately shatter our hearts into pieces. It was this week’s collapsing Chocolate Eiffel Tower that has us all in sweats for Terry’s safety in the competition.

It’s true. We’ve caught feelings for Terry and we just need to protect him from his own baking disasters before he leaves our screens for good! Terry, Cake Angels have your back, let’s smash Bread week boo.

Talking about bread week… anyone else?

We’re with you girl – jeans firmly undone.

We're not over it, Noel
The launch of Bake Off last week introduced us to Noel’s new look and one week later it’s still the talk of Twitter. Even with him running around the tent dressed as Marie Antoinette and lifting spirits during the heated affair of Cake Week, we couldn’t take our minds off the lack-of-locks.

Who wore it best?

So that’s it for another week of Bake Off! We have loved reading your reactions and a massive congrats to Rahul again for being our BAE-ker of the week. Happy tweeting for Bread Week and don’t forget to feast your eyes on our next reaction blog! Share via the link below and sign up to our blog newsletter to never miss a beat.
