The Great British Bakeoff! Only American! Wednesday, January 29, 2025

Today we're making pie!" Steve said happily. "Good pie, without fish in it."

"Or any meat. Or meat jelly," Tony added. Because fancy dinner parties still had those on occasion. "Today, your signature bake should be your best, most decorative fruit pie. You can pick any fruit you like best. We're just excited to get pie for breakfast here."

"Breakfast pie!" Steve echoed. He was a man who enjoyed the simple pleasures. "But first, let's judge those gingerbread castles, okay?"

"Oh right!" How could he have forgotten about the gingerbread castles? "We'll do that while you make fruit pies. And then after the fruit pies, you'll do your technical challenge of making us a pumpkin pie."

"With nuts on top," Steve added, nodding.

"This is going to be a great tasting day," Tony sighed.

"We have faith," Steve said, smiling at Yelena.

Let's see those elaborate gingerbread castles or hear you tragic tales of woe about what happened to it.

Kitty's... well. She tried. It was clearly a rush job but probably tasted okay if you didn't look at it.

"My kid ate the first one."

Dammit, Alexandra.

Nell's castle might not have been quite as fancy as the school itself, but it was still soaring and beautiful. She was glad she'd done all but the final touches over the weekend before she started feeling so crummy.

Hannibal's was elaborate and intricate and beautiful. Except for the half that was completely collapsed and the hole in one side.

He sighed as he set it down. "Cats," he explained.

Vi didn't so much have a gingerbread castle as a gingerbread flat-pack.
