Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging

To add a real punch, Luke added lime zest and juice to both his gingernut biscuits and his lime buttercream filling.  He had practised hard to make sure that the lime came through immediately, followed by the kick of ginger.


Judging

Paul Hollywood: "I think they look great. They look like a proper gingernut."

Prue Leith: "Mmm, the ginger is lovely. Just right."

Paul Hollywood: "The lime, however, it just isn't there."

Prue Leith: "Yes, it does need a bit more lime. Nice, though."

About The Great British Baking Show ™

The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.


The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
