    GBBS - Series 16 - Meringue Week

    Put on your dancing shoes! It was Meringue Week — with a tiny bit of time travel back to Pastry Week to revisit some important oversights. Though it was the first ever Meringue Week, one baker also time-traveled for Show Stopper inspiration. It was also the first time Paul Hollywood gave a left-handed handshake. And the first time Kayla and Liz stayed 100% focused on the content of the episode. (No.) Signature: Mini Meringue Pies Technical: Raspberry Soufflé Show-Stopper: Vacherin Glacé Feedback? Comments?

    GBBS - Series 16 - Pastry Week

    Have you ever recorded your podcast and then realize you didn’t mention some pretty significant details? That’s Kayla and Liz this week. There’s just a lot happening outside the podcast that had them distracted. They plan to do their own version of “extra slice” this week so stay tuned for the (somewhat essential) extra content. And in the meantime, enjoy what they managed to remember to talk about! Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram at assault.and.bakery.pod.

    GBBS - Series 16 - Chocolate Week

    “We recorded then ate seven bars of chocolate. We declared Prue Leith should be a bigger artist.” “We’re dressed in sweats. From head to toe. We got hot takes hidden under our microphone.” Get it? It was Chocolate Week! And Kayla and Liz like Taylor Swift! And no one reads episode descriptions! Enjoy!

    GBBS - Series 16 - Back to School Week

    Back to school, back to school, to prove to Paul and Prue the Bakers are not fools. There was a lot of "that must be the British version of [insert American thing here]" this week, which was fun for Kayla and Liz and less fun for the Baker who isn't from the UK. Put on your thinking hat and listening ears and enjoy! Signature: Flapjacks Technical: School Cake Show-Stopper: School Fete Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

    GBBS - Series 16 - Bread Week

    Kayla and Liz got this bread - in a non-financial way, of course. But this episode is a couple days early so they are getting after it! The Bakers really leavened up this week. (Are you groaning?) This week featured balls, holes, and magic tricks which really push the family-friendliness of the show. But it caused many a wee giggle. Enjoy!

    GBBS - Series 16 - Biscuit Week

    It was... Biscuit Week! (Did you read that in Kayla and Liz's voices? You should. Try it!) The Bakers' skills and personalities are shining like a perfect mirror glaze after a bit of a nervous start to Series 16. Bakers seem to rise and fall between each challenge, making Fantasy Bake-Off particularly fun this year. Kayla and Liz discuss rock painting (with an impressively minimal amount of squealing on Liz's part), dogs eating drugs, and the cultural differences between America and the UK when it comes to soft vs. snapping biscuits. Soft biscuits are superior -- obviously. Signature: Slice n Bake Biscuits Technical: Hobnobs Show-Stopper: Time Capsule Biscuit Box with Mementos Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

    GBBS - Series 16 - Cake Week

    Spoiler-not-spoiler: Kayla and Liz are back! With actual baking activity to talk about instead of wild speculating! But don't worry, there's also plenty of wild speculating. The conversation meanders from Signature discussions of Michelin Stars (and tires) to the Show-Stopper and Bob Ross the drill sergeant and everything in between. (The Technical. The Technical is what is in between those things.) Signature: Swiss Roll Technical: Fondant Fancy Show-Stopper: Landscape Cake Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.
