The best innuendos from Great British Bake Off - beyond soggy bottoms

As if we really watch for the cake... It’s the double entendres that cause such a knead (SORRY) to see the next episode

When we watch Great British Bake Off, we are of course studiously studying the weave of the treacle top lattice and picking up tips for the perfect puff pastry.

Or, alternatively, we’re sniggering over Mary Berry saying something funny about buns. Here are our favourite GBBO innuendos...



“It’s got a good wobble”
Oh they’re talking about the creme caramel, you filthy lot.

“Oh no, you have some irregular-shaped balls”
Now seeing these come out of the oven could surprise your guests.

“I’ve got the taste of nuts coming through”
Oh Mary, Mary, we feel as grubby as the tabloid tales of Paul Hollywood’s dalliances.

"Now they are some perfectly shaped buns”
Possibly delivered as John Whaite turned around to go back to his baking station.

“It’s all in the wrist action”

Which leads us on to...

“Hand’s the best method”
They’re talking about the whisk. The whisk!



“This is the tart of all tarts”
Sounds offensive; is really rather complimentary.

“I like your sausage!”

Was Mary as innocent as her face suggested after saying this to eventual winner John Whaite?

“Ooh it’s really rising”


How are we supposed to actually concentrate on the sponginess of the bake when people are whispering things like this to each other?

“When I get the two minute warning, whip them out”
...of the oven! Oh we give up.
