Round 3: Yeast!

Yeast is like magic, I reckon. It's brilliant how you can take the most boring and mundane ingredients in the cupboard, bung them in a bowl, beat them up a bit and come out with something fluffy and delicious.

This week, three bakers came out fighting for the microbial side of things.

We had Mim (and Ken the Bread Maker) 's sundried tomato bread.

Fifi produced some spectacular doughnut cupcakes

And I contributed some slightly irregularly-shaped *ahem* "doughballs" to the mix.

Laura also brought some experimental (and utterly delicious) brownies for sampling. 

Judges were once again exceptionally generous, with £55 raised for St David's Hospice.

At the end, the scores on the doors were:

1st Place: Fifi - 10 leaderboard points

2nd Place: Mim - 8 leaderboard points

3rd Place: Sara - 6 leaderboard points

Which means we've got a tie going into the final round, with Holly and Fifi both sitting on 18 leaderboard points! 

Come back later on this week to see the variety of FABULOUS PRIZES up for grabs and to hear more about the SHOWSTOPPER FINALE! (Yes, both those phrases do deserve CAPITAL LETTERS).
