There are laughs, a few sentimental beats, and plenty of playful “armchair judging” along the way.Cozy, conversational, and just a little bittersweet, this episode feels like a proper farewell tea: sweet, thoughtful, and sprinkled with gratitude — plus a generous dollop of butter for good measure.

The Soggy Bottom Girls are tying a (slightly lopsided) bow on another season of delicious chaos — but first, they need a song. Or… any song. As Allison and Lisa debate their options, Allison casually drops a bombshell about possible Jasmine controversy?!

It's Patisserie Week on The Soggy Bottom Girls, and the innuendos are rising faster than choux pastry in a hot oven! Lisa boldly declares her love for cream horns (yes, she's eaten one), while Allison wonders if they're simply too faffy for the average baker. The girls sift through Jasmine's repetitive flavors, debate her soulless bakes, and side-eye her first-place finish in the technical. When it comes to the macaron showstopper, Lisa's thrown in the piping bag, but Allison's swooning over their adorable potential. With Tom's chocolate beehive abuzz with brilliance, the girls speculate if he's about to clinch bake-off glory. Faffery, flavor drama, and plenty of pastry puns—this episode is as rich as a crème diplomat!Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

It's Dessert Week in the tent, and The Soggy Bottom Girls are serving up some seriously sweet (and slightly scandalous) opinions.

A steamy bain-marie debate bubbles up next, with both hosts declaring it more trouble than it's worth.When the gluten-free pudding technical rolls around, Allison's war on oranges continues, while Lisa questions the timing (and the taste appeal) of a gluten-free dessert challenge. Finally, the girls tackle the towering trifle showstopper, sparking memories of 90's wedding gifts and questionable jelly layers. Tune in for laughs, light roasting, and the crowning of another Star Baker — because this week, it's all about keeping your custard in line and your trifle standing tall.Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

It's the first-ever Meringue Week in the Bake Off tent, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are whipping up pure delight! Allison and Lisa dive headfirst into clouds of sugar and egg whites—discussing mini meringue pies, soufflé struggles, and torches that never get used (looking at you, Allison). From chestnut mysteries to passion fruit obsessions, they mix in plenty of laughter, Bake Off lore (BinGate returns!), and a full-on Barry Manilow detour that somehow makes perfect sense.

It's Pastry Week in the tent, which means laminated layers, questionable butter strategies, and at least one soggy bottom. Allison and Lisa roll out their thoughts on the seven sacred pastries (and the eighth, Pillsbury Crescent, obviously), while investigating Toby's neck beard, Natalia's giant collar, and whether Prue secretly runs an accessories empire. The gals debate the merits of tofu pies, gooseberries, and pork-filled mystery tubes from the '80s, all while cheering on Jasmine's pastry hat trick and mourning Natalia's polite farewell. From sculpted tarts to hot water crusts, this week proves once and for all: flakiness isn't just for pastry—it's a lifestyle.Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

With Allison out for the week, Lisa welcomes special guest and honorary Soggy Bottom Girl, Emma—a British baker living in Pittsburgh who's here to decode the mystery of Back to School Week on The Great British Bake Off.From flapjacks that aren't pancakes to school fêtes (yes, that's pronounced “fate”) that involve coconuts and queens, this episode is a deep dive into British school traditions that had Lisa more confused than a Bake Off contestant without a proving drawer. Emma breaks down the brilliance of golden syrup, the chewy magic of a classic traybake, and why British school cake comes slathered in custard—not frosting.The two swap stories about school snacks, fundraiser fatigue, homemade sprinkles (yep, we've made them!), and the cultural differences that had Americans asking: “What even is a flapjack?!”Spoiler alert: it's not what you eat at IHOP.Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

It's Bread Week, and the Soggy Bottom Girls are rising to the occasion! Lisa and Allison kick things off by revealing their favorite “tear and share” bakes before diving into the bakers' signature challenge — and those wildly over-the-top ingredient choices (truffle oil? Really?).Things heat up as they unpack the technical: doughnuts. Is it even baking? The girls aren't convinced. Lisa takes a nostalgic detour with stories of her “Fry Daddy” childhood and sweet Sunday mornings with her dad. Meanwhile, Allison lets loose on the never-ending stream of baker backstories — how emotional should a cruffin be?They also chew on the growing trend of needing a heartfelt tale to pair with every recipe, lament the suspicious lack of “ball” jokes in this bread-filled episode, and toast to the joyful, fabulous presence of co-host, Alison Hammond.Warm, spicy, and maybe just a little bit underproved — this episode is a snack you don't want to miss!Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/

Lisa states that biscuit week is her favorite, and the girls go back and forth about the biscuit/cookie difference.  Allison and Lisa discuss the difficulty level of the signature bake, and both girls praise Jessika's sliced bacon and egg cookie slices.  When the perfect hobnob presents itself as the technical, Lisa believes that she could do this challenge, especially given her skills in carmel making.Allison questions whether or not the bakers are truly given NO instruction for technicals, and, Lisa shares a social media post about understanding the ratios in certain baked goods, insisting the knowledge of such could make you successful without a recipe. Lisa and Allison get into yet another "jump the shark" discussion about this week's showstopper. However, they are quick to praise the major accomplishments of bakers Jessika and Pui man.   Lisa states that the Poy man's "JUMBO boat time capsule is on par with Paul's season 6 bread lion from season 6.   The girls finish the episode off-track and off topic in their very charming and familiar way. Biscuits baby!Connect with us:https://soggybottomgirls.com Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soggybottomgirlsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soggybottomgirls/
