Another week, another episode of Great British Bake Off — and this week was Biscuit Week, which means I'm back to show you some very cool side-by-sides of these delightful bakers' drawing vs. their final bakes.
First up was the Signature Bake: Florentines!
And, yes, I think we're all Florentine snap experts now:
I’ve gone from not knowing what a florentine is to judging their lack of snap in record time #GBBO

Up next was the Technical Challenge, which involved two sets of macaroons, and tbh here is a very helpful chart:
I think this is a timely reminder... #gbbo @BritishBakeOff #macaroon
Dave won the Technical Challenge this week, so he definitely knows the difference!
And finally, the moment we were all waiting for: the Showstopper Round. Prue and Paul asked the bakers to create their favorite celebrities, but this time out of biscuits! Okay, just kidding, but I'm already nostalgic for those bonkers cake busts. This week was all about 3D biscuit table settings.
