It’s the last sad, rainy picnic Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood will ever have to attend together! Welcome to the final hour of “The Great British Bake Off” as we know it: tear-stricken, OOZING, and absolutely “cram-jam full of salmon”. Whose “exciting hamper” would the judges find fit for the Queen: Candice’s, Andrew’s, or Jane’s?

Ballooning knight sacs, Mexican Adventures, and edible glitter: It’s just like traditional Tudor times on the #PBSBakingShow, Week 8. Which of our final five’s shaped pies oozed the hardest? Did Queen Mary and King Nut Ball approve of their marzipan showstoppers? But first, and most pressing: Which Spice Girl would everyone be?!

Week 7 is a veritable "Tropical Holiday" as the remaining six bakers shove the nuts in and sweat it all out. Who achieved the fanciest and/or drunkest roulades? What exactly is a praline? And did Jane defeat her possibly gelatinous demons in a gripping game of whack-a-mousse? Be sure to catch full episodes of "The Great British Baking Show" on PBS.org to keep up with THE PROVING DRAWER podcast, sponsored in part by Dad's Curd.
