It’s Juniors S7E4 - dessert day for Heat A! Baking was limited to making some homemade pancakes and discovering the multitude of recipes for self rising flour.It was maddening! Where are they Now:  Season 11 winner Peter Sawkins. From Edinburgh Scotland, Peter was the youngest winner in Bake Off history. He was known for his big smile and gluten free ability. Has continued to bake a lot post GBBO and can frequently see him posting about it on IG: Peter_bakes He approaches his social media and baking with humility that makes him easy to like. Had a little snafu with social media a while back when people assumed he was coming out based on a video snippet - he handled it beautifully and with kindness in explaining that this was not the case. He has released two books - Peter Bakes and Peter’s Baking Party which is designed to help kids with baking. Warning. - spoilers below Two bakes as is typical with Juniors. The Technical brought the art of meringue to the tent, testing the bakes ability to make, pipe, and bake the tricky egg white delight. They had to create Fruity Pineapple (shaped) Bombs with mango and passionfruit cream in the middle Most did fine with it a few cracks in the meringue, a few missed steps, some “floor meringue”. A couple of issues with the cream for some, but overall the bakers did well.  Mia struggles a bi with time and ended up spreading and not piping the meringue and didn’t make the “leaves”. This left her last in the technical, with Quique fifth, and Macy 4th. Kezia and Eliza did some nice piping work but Eliza’s cream was a bit over whipped leaving her 3rd and Kecia’s color was off giving her 2nd. This left 9 year old Lola at the top of the technical!  She was beaming. Showstopper brought us cheesecake dream vacations.  Goos efforts by pretty much everyone! Macy made two layer campfire cheesecake. Quique did a Basque cheesecake - he had a little upset that dinged up the side - he recovered nicely. Mia did white chocolate with coconut lime flavored Antartica cheesecake - he flavors weren’t quite there but it looked nice. Eliza did a delightful tiramisu cheesecake with included the use of tuile - very nice. Kezia did a LOT in her Hawaiian dream cheesecake with homemade biscuit base and orange sponge “dirt”. Lola did a mermaid dream with ginger nut biscuits and cream cheese based cheesecake delivering an attractive and tasty result. Star baker went to Lola! I’ve never seen anyone SO happy to win it.  The last place technical and miss on flavors led to Mia going home. She didn’t take it so well… but alas … she’s a kid. Open sobbing that kind of took away from Lola’s moment in my opinion. Next week Pastry day for Heat A! Follow us on IG: @scrummyhandshakes
