We’re just into the second week of The Great British Baking Show 2025, and the bakers are already stirring things up with cheeky antics in the tent! This week’s latest episode featured an amusing moment when Paul Hollywood had to address one baker’s biscuits that were humorously suggestive in shape, causing Alison Hammond and the other contestants to burst into laughter. And that wasn’t the only moment filled with playful innuendo on this otherwise warm and comforting Netflix series…
**Spoilers for The Great British Baking Show Season 13 Episode 2 “Biscuit Week,” now streaming on Netflix**
In Season 13 Episode 2, titled “Biscuit Week,” the remaining eleven bakers faced three challenging tasks. To start with, they had to create a dozen “slice and bake” biscuits with a surprise twist; the design had to be intricate and only become visible once the dough was sliced. Next, they took on the Technical Challenge, which involved making chocolate and caramel topped Hobnobs. Lastly, the bakers were instructed by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to design a “time capsule” out of biscuits for their Showstopper.
While several bakers shone during “Biscuit Week,” Aaron encountered trouble with his Showstopper. His goal was to design a cherry blossom-themed box containing biscuits that marked significant moments and milestones. Unfortunately, his biscuit bridge couldn’t hold together, and Prue described the overall look as “clumsy.” But, the hardest-hitting critiques were yet to be delivered.
As Paul opened the “time capsule” and began taking out Aaron’s biscuit “memories,” it became clear that this part of the brief had quickly become an afterthought for the panicking baker.
“What the hell is that?” Paul asked, holding a poorly-piped sandwich biscuit. “Were you rushing at the end?”
Aaron confirmed that, yes, he was rushing, and that all the biscuits inside were the same Earl Grey/yuzu flavor combo. Paul didn’t hear because he was too busy gawking at the next mess.
“WHAT IS THAT?” Paul said, gingerly holding a misshapen biscuit that looked rather like a certain part of the male anatomy. (It should be noted, that he held it at an angle that emphasized its phallic shape.)
“That’s a scroll,” Aaron said.
“That’s his scroll,” Prue helpfully added.
“That’s a scroll?” Paul asked, as the entire tent was giggling. Alison asked to see it for herself and immediately let out a hoarse cackle.
Paul said, “That ain’t no scroll.”
Once the tent stopped laughing, Prue admitted that Aaron’s Earl Grey biscuit was great. Eventually, Aaron would be saved from elimination despite his messy bake. Leighton would be sent home. Tom would be Star Baker.
Of course, Aaron wasn’t the only baker to flirt with frisky commentary this week. Hairstylist Nadia had not one, but two comments that were pretty dirty out of context. Whether or not she realized she was delivering such delicious double entendres wasn’t as clear.
First, Nadia reflected upon how Paul Hollywood spit out her bake last week. That gave her a modest goal heading into “Biscuit Week.”
“This week I hope he actually swallows it and enjoys it,” Nadia said brightly during the intro package to “Biscuit Week.” (Okay…)
Later in the episode, Nadia slips up again when she tells Paul and Prue her plans for a picnic basket-themed time capsule box. She admits that the biscuit dough she’s chosen for the structure isn’t that strong. Her solution? “I just got to make me box a little bit thicker.” The editors sagely cut to Prue adjusting her glasses.
So is The Great British Baking Show “Biscuit Week” a harbinger for more horniness to come? Will this latest season be one of the loosest? Or is this just a case of the tent getting the giggles during an otherwise basic “Biscuit Week”?
