Great British Bake Off episode 5 2021 – German Week

Great British Bake Off episode 5 2021 – German Week: Beautiful cakes, likeable bakers, risky decisions, cheesy jokes… it’s another delight of a Bake Off episode, even if it’s full of bakes you may never have heard of.

Paul Hollywood has a warning: “They could crack… melt, allow water to come out, or indeed collapse,” he says. He’s referring to the meringues, not the bakers.     In fact this lot, as well as being great company on screen, are generally cool in the face of a crisis: “It’s very collapse-y,” sighs one baker of his pavlova, while another notes fairly calmly of her showstopper, “It’s going to go splodge,” as she confronts the inevitability of letting go of
