I love the play by play in his blog. How exciting for them all!
Anna, is the bake-off every year or every other year? And you can NEVER compete in it again? Boo!
i noted that one fourth of the recipes are pizza (like, 23-25, depending on whether you include the dessert tart thing and the “tuscan walnut squares”). that has convinced me that a pizza will win. (well, either that or the turkey/bacon/brie panini; but i digress.) is there gambling on this? have you scanned the recipes? do you have a favorite? (have you already mentioned it and i missed it?)
look, there will never be another chicken with waffle stuffing. nothing can surpass. as far as i’m concerned, the pillsbury bake-off is dead to me
Debbi, I’ve been away from home this morning and haven’t checked it. However, I will have some footage later, so stay tuned! Hopefully I’ll have it before 3:00 CST.
Melanie, yes, I believe so. But I think they open for entries every 18 months. I forget.
TG, there are some really creative entries this year and since nothing makes it without actually tasting good, I really have no idea who will win. I had a few picked, then changed my mind, then changed it all again.
What it all comes down to is how well people do on the actual Bake-Off floor. All recipes go in with an equal shot (so I’ve been told) and the contestants have to send the most perfect version back to the judges.
Oh my – you must be the Anna G. that won. I remember that contest. No wonder you’re such a great baker with such a wonderful website. You can tell I’ve just discovered all the great food blogs.
I just found your blog yesterday and thought, a fellow Texan who loves cookies, how wonderful. Then you said “talk amongst yourselves” and I cracked up! Thanks for the laugh, can’t wait to read more yummy recipes on here.
