Juniors S7E2 - Heat A Biscuit week!

Been a quiet week for the hosts - no baking, but a shoutout for a local to Richmond biscuit maker: Cafe Warshafsky - https://www.cafewarshafsky.com/

We do a quick where are they now with one of the "controversial" bakers - Ruby Tandoh.

Two bakes this week: Liam's Peanut Butter Millionaire shortbread, and a "biscuit Piniata"

Spoilers below:

In the Shortbreads, the issues came mostly to getting a good bake on the shortbread (several underbaked), or getting the caramel. Lola, Mia, Joey all ruined caramel first try. In Judging several had issues with soft bakes, Will over stoked his peanut butter caramel and it came out hard. Bottom of the heap: Joey and Quique with Eliza Taking top honors.

In the showstopper - bake time reared its ugly head again. Mia, Will, Kezia all had structural issues from underbaking. Joey tried brandy snaps as his structure and it did not pay off. Biggest surprise - Quique bringing home a handshake for his beehive pinata ... and then getting STAR BAKER. I personally felt Eliza should have been the win. And, no surprise based on the day, last episode's star baker Joey... was sent home.
