So welcome to the penultimate Great Bloggers Bake Off round up, otherwise known as week 9. This week was all about patisserie and the bakes were split as follows:
Siganture : Baklava
Technical : German Schichttorte
Showstopper : Elegant Entremets
I was surprised by how many Schichttortes were entered (I can even spell that now without checking!!) and having made one myself, I felt that for all the faff of making it, although not as hard as I thought , it was not that nice to eat, when compared to a good old British tea time cake! You cannot beat a sponge cake with lashings of buttercream!!
Anyway, here are all of the wonderful bakes that you have been busy making.
Chocolate & Amaretto Schichttorte

Chocolate & Vanilla Schichttorte

Chocolate Pistachio Pizzazz
Pistachio Dacquoise with Raspberry & Pomegranate
Macarons
Stripy Jaffa Chocolate Jaconde Cake
What amazing bakes – i was so impressed with them all and as usual the standard was so high. So who will be this weeks:
Well I am going to award two this week, the first goes to Angie for her amazing rainbow schichttorte. It is so funny that she made this because when I took my own schichttorte to my playgroup on Friday, I said to some of the Mums that a rainbow layered one would look so effective! Well Angie must have thought the same!
Well done Angie. However, well done to you all because your schichttortes looked so good – all those layers and height and i loved how you made your own versions.
My second Star baker is for Naomi’s Chocolate & Pistachio Pizzazz – not only does it have the best name ever, but it looks so neat and professional and I know that I would love it!
So its the final on Wednesday – how will be your favourite to win?
Also, I have some exciting news for my Great Bloggers Bake Off with prizes and maybe (fingers crossed) a judge to help pick a winner!! More to be revealed as I am still awaiting confirmation, but it will be worth entering a bake for!!
