Bake Off’s Back-to-School Week Sends Jessika Home as Homemade Sprinkles Twist Prompts Backlash

Viewers on X questioned the judges after the Technical required sprinkles made from scratch.

Overview

  • Jasmine was named Star Baker for the second consecutive week.
  • The episode’s challenges were a flapjack Signature, a school cake Technical with DIY sprinkles, and a school fete Showstopper.
  • Fans on social media said the show went too far with the sprinkles requirement and several argued Jessika was "robbed."
  • Traditionalist viewers also criticised the flapjack task for reinventing a classic rather than keeping it simple.
  • Paul Hollywood jokingly accused Nadia of "cheating" for referencing temperature notes, as she struggled early but recovered in the Showstopper.
