Yay! Photo: Netflix Let us start with the Sussex pond pudding, the great excitement of our annual dessert week episode of Great British Bake Off. “What is Sussex pond pudding?” you may be thinking, to which I say: exactly. This is the Bake Off I have craved; perhaps it has been here the whole time, buried beneath a pile of rainbow bagels.
This might be true. I do not care. This is the Great British Bake Off, and it is Greatest when it is Britishist, a fantasy English idyll where woodland creatures frolic and the only jobs are sheepherding and solving wholesome murders; of course they’re making Sussex pond pudding, that is how it should be. “The Sussex pond pudding is British stodge at its very best” — I read that in the Guardian!
Everybody fails, but they are very British failures. Dave didn’t seal his correctly, so his is less a pond than an ocean with some pastry islands floating in it. Hermine’s pastry is almost nice, but her undercooked lemon is “bullet hard.” Peter’s collapsed rendition might have been delicious had he cooked it for another hour, and Marc’s is likewise understeamed.
And it is, it turns out, a harbinger of gelatins to come, because for the dessert Showstopper, everyone is making a “Jelly Art Design Cake,” which is a regular cake with a high-concept layer of interpretive gelatin on top of it. Apparently, sculptural jelly art cakes were invented in Mexico City in 1993, which is a fact I learned on the Facebook page of a company that offers 3-D jelly art classes in Singapore.
Mrs SugarP loves this show and i want to gouge my eyes out after five minutes. Its appeal is completely baffling to me.
Isn't that all like code for 'white'?
