Nigella’s coffee-and-walnut technical is done without a written recipe; Tom places first, and Mo later wins Star Baker after the self-portrait showstopper, with no elimination due to Shannon falling ill. Week 2 is Biscuit Week: American cookies, iced gems technical (Connie wins), and biscuit mosaics; Tom wins Star Baker, and Dani is eliminated after consistent issues, leaving with an emotional farewell.00:00 Podcast Returns01:11 Nigella Joins Bake Off03:07 Hosts And Midlife Talk03:54 Week One Signature04:22 Meet The Bakers11:35 Signature Results12:36 Coffee Walnut Technical13:52 Self Portrait Showstopper16:14 Week One Results16:26 Biscuit Week Signature18:02 Iced Gems Technical19:19 Biscuit Mosaic Showstopper20:29 Dani Farewell And Wrap
