Let's Get Technical - Great British Bake Off 2015 Cake Week

As we head into the fifth technical challenge of this year's Great British Bake Off I remember that I hadn't posted the challenge here for anyone who hasn't been following along on Twitter.

This year there is also the option of Facebook and Instagram and even a bit of periscope.

The challenge kicks off at 3pm AEST 

Week one was cake week and I managed to complete Mary Berry's Frosted Walnut Layer Cake with time to spare, though in hindsight that time could have gone into more cooling of the sponges and decoration.

Given that it's the Great British Bake Off I thought I should dress for the occasion, thankfully I did have this left over from a royal guard production of Dreamgirls.  

Ok a frosted walnut cake, sure why not? #lets_get_technical #GBBO #extraslice pic.twitter.com/OGNqpqJTLX

I must remember more time cooling = much prettier layers
