This week on the Great British Bake Off it was the semi-finals! We'll admit we almost cried at the fact that our Tuesday nights are soon to become empty and worthless.
The semi-finals left us feeling somewhat underwhelmed. We expected tears, grand displays and outstanding bakes and got messy bakes and disappointing cakes. And we're still missing Liam...
But hey, atleast Stacey left the tent, right?Let the fight begin!

Baffling technical
We'll be honest, we had no idea what a Les Miserables was, apart from the well known film. Yet apparently there is a cake version too?! Delicate sponge layered with ganache and butter cream. Sounds easy right? Yet this challenge left the bakers in an absolute state. [caption id="attachment_16228" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Uneventful showstopper challenge
The showstopper challenge. The part we all look forward to. We wanted beauty and skill and everything in-between. It was the semi-finals after all. So you'd expect stunning and perfect bakes galore. Yet Steven made a school boy error making a chocolate basket in a hot tent, Stacey made puddings that Paul Hollywood described as looking like takeaway dishes, Sophie's bodice completely fell apart and Kate's rainbow creation looked like it was made by a five year old.
