Well I hate ALL of this week’s challenges and will probably (grudgingly) do something with macarons. But not a 12kg chocolate beehive because I’m not a millionaire!

So I baked along to Bread Week even though I’ve been battling a low-grade migraine and going on holiday tomorrow 😅 Couldn’t say no to doughnuts!

A silicon baking mat with 15 baked Hobnobs, undecorated and cooling
Two mats of hobnobs topped with caramel (small angled spatula pictured too)
Two cooling racks of chocolate decorated & feathered biscuits (dark and milk)
Top down view of a dark chocolate hobnob with white feathering, fatter than it should be but still quite neat
Right that's quite enough of all the doomscrolling thanks. It's Biscuit Week so I had a bash at the technical. Did I have a fancy silicon thingie? No. Did I have any caramel chocolate? No. Did I let that stop me? Not a chance!

9 5x5 fondant fancies slathered in a rather messy fondant icing
Top-down view of 9 5x5 orange fondant fancies, also with very slack stripes
Side view of a pink one’s insides: nice fluffy crumb, jam centre, buttercream on on top
Inside view of an orange one: also a nice fluffy crumb, jam centre and buttercream blob on top
Right here we go for #gbboBakeAlong week 1! Disaster from the start as I had no fondant icing sugar, & only 450g white icing sugar left 🤦♀️ Which is why they aren’t very well coated & it’s too slack - watered it down!
Orange are dairy free, pink are full cow. ❤️

For my final #gbbo bake, I made two varieties of scones. The sweet ones are simple raspberry scones, the savoury are sausage and leek. I made them with a small cutter, so they're almost bitesize, which meant we all had room to try both. And that's it! My #gbboBakeAlong comes to an end.

Top-down view of a saucepan with an extremely burnt bottom. This was supposed to be the glaze for the top of the opera cake!
Why did I decide it was a good idea to try the opera cake midweek. 😭🤦♀️ This was the glaze for the top level and now I’m out of both cream AND liquid glucose! #GBBOBakeAlong

I've been doing a #gbbobakealong this season and my lastest write is about Parkin, the week 6 "autumn" challengs
This dark spicy cake was fun and fairly easy to make.
Full wrrite up

A slice of tart sitting on a plate in front of the rest of the tart on a stand. The slice has a golden brown cakey layer, with a dark brown layer of apple butter underneath and finally a thin layer of pastry. On top of the slice are some apple slices baked in to the tart and a white dollop of whipped cream
Baking along with Bake Off: pastry week. I made an apple frangipane tart (because I don't have 12 mini tart tins). With a layer of apple butter and a mixture of honeycrisp and lucyglo apples. #gbbo #gbbobakealong #bakeoffbakealong

There's two flavours. Top tier is black tea, bergamot, and orange, with passion fruit curd and vanilla buttercream, the bottom tier is chocolate and Belgian chocolate buttercream. The whole thing is decorated with whipped white chocolate ganache.

Sometimes I'm really quite proud of a GBBO bake. This week is one of those. This rose apple tart turned out so lovely, and I'm really happy with it.
Pâte sucrée base, cinnamon & vanilla apple compote, and a million sliced apples on top.
