The Great British Bake Off returns with cakes, chaos and innuendo – 23 reactions
Bake Off is back with everything we’ve come to know and love – the tent, the back stories, the silliness, the chaos. Alison Hammond replaces Matt Lucas, but Paul, Prue and Noel are still there.
Our Alison Hammond on #GBBO is Perfect….genius choice Channel 4 ❤️❤️❤️

Of course, the new bakers are a crucial ingredient.
New bakers. New Bake Off.
We wish them all the very best of luck for Cake Week tonight at 8pm on @Channel4. #GBBO pic.twitter.com/EZlqf8lWGz

You don’t know them yet, but in a few weeks, there’ll be one that you’d die for.
If anything happens to this woman I will die #GBBO pic.twitter.com/9XeOme8WEI

This time, there’s a BSL interpreter – Daryl – in the tent.
Say hi to BSL interpreter Daryl!
Tasha: “Seeing Daryl up at the front and feeling fully part of the show was a really special moment. I couldn’t have done it without him and without the dedication from the show ensuring I had the same access as the other bakers.” ❤️❤️ #GBBO pic.twitter.com/ukGjwHtFDd

We forgot how much they try and pack into the baker backstories in the first episodes.
"Jonathan is a PHD student who loves basketball, butterflies, and has seen every single episode of Eggheads."
Right…#GBBO

Paul Hollywood looks like he’s covered himself in glue and ran into Burton’s menswear #gbbo

[me on bake off]
“For my show stopper I’m going to do a croquembouche in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. The profiteroles are going to be filled with raspberries and butter cream & it’s all going to be covered in a rich chocolate ganache”
“Yeah, this is the sewing bee”
“Oh. Fuck”.— GlennyRodge (@GlennyRodge) September 26, 2023

How to sound like you know what you're doing on #GBBO: pair a fruit with a random noun then couple cream with a made-up French word.
"This week, Paul, I'll be flavouring my cake with a kumquat ombudsman and topping it with a cream béchèvier"

I couldn’t be on bake off (mostly because I have no discernible baking skills) but also because if I’d been slaving away in that muggy tent just for Paul Hollywood to say my chocolate cake is “too matte” I’d kick off and try push his face into it. What does that even MEAN #GBBO
