It was again a week where all predictions would have gone completely wrong. So, I\u2019m very excited about them. It\u2019s a bit sad that Nicky and Rowan went out at this stage. Everyone who goes out takes quite a lot with them. And if you are in the tent by Week 5, you notice the space between the benches is getting bigger. So yeah, it was a very exciting week.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Favourite bake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>My favourite was probably Josh\u2019s sunflower pies. There was a touching theme behind that. A lot of thought and a lot of emotion as well. And it was extremely well executed.

I think that was a little bit of an unfortunate judgement by her to do this recipe. Too many cheeses, maybe too much cheese in relation to the other fillings, too. Yeah.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Welcome back Tasha<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tasha certainly is a lovely element in the tent with great ideas. I love the signing symbols on her pies.

interesting concept. I think they had to replace those national weeks with something that\u2019s more generic. And so with Botanical Week, they\u2019ll probably be giving the guidelines to what substances to use to flavour the bakes or also what to use to bring colour to the bakes. I haven\u2019t seen the brief for that week, so I can\u2019t really say. I would think natural dyes, natural flavourings, so not relying on industrial products, artificial flavourings, etc, and plant-based products as well. Using herbs if there are savoury products involved. There was this little glimpse we got of Dan having something in a file that apparently smells of cat wee\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip of the week: Perfect pastry<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For the perfect pastry with water crust, follow your recipe. There are so many good recipes out there. And in terms of the pie, look no further than Cristy! She had a very good choice of ingredients of what goes into the pie. If it\u2019s your first time also, stay with ingredients that are safe, that make it creamy, that keep your pie moist enough. Don\u2019t risk anything if you\u2019ve just started off making pies.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jurgen answers\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>What did you think of the double elimination?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it was the right choice. I think with both Star Baker and the eliminations, Paul and Prue did the right thing at this point. Nicky had a bad day. We know she can do absolutely well, but tent magic can be on the plus side and can be on the minus side\u2026 and Nicky unfortunately in all three bakes, and Rowan similarly. I believe him that he got those pies perfectly at home, but tent magic, the food might be different, it might be a bit more watery \u2013 things you just can\u2019t gauge when you prepare the things at home and can get you into trouble very quickly. The judgement is done on the current week, so yeah, it was the right decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You agreed with Cristy being this week\u2019s Star Baker\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Cristy and Dan had a huge wobble in terms of their self-esteem, so Cristy thought her picnic pies were awful and then she got the handshake for them and Dan had a wobble with not having his oven on and he thought he completely messed up. The pastry messed up with him getting injured, etc. And both ended up really well. So it is a very interesting bunch of people there in the tent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--aspect\" style=\"padding-bottom: calc(100% \/ 1.501210653753);\">
