I make a brilliant 'fusion' Ango-Swiss trifle:

sponge cake covered with black cherries in kirsch (juice thickened with a little cornflour or arrowroot) - proper home-made custard with real vanilla and a little whipped cream folded in with thin layer of whipped cream and a few black cherries to decorate wtih shavings of dark (Swiss of course) chocolate.

But I am with the Judge on NO jelly- and no cheap tinned fruit.

LOL. Merlot, I thought you said incredible, not inedible. I'm sure I could make a big dent in some of their creations.

Yes some amazing goodies.

I was a bit concerned about them using plastic flower pots. They are made from the cheapest recycle plastic available with a lot of colourant, none of which is food grade and would contain some nasty chemicals.

Everything they make looks pretty inedible to me.

How long before we get another 'stay away from sugar or die' lecture from the BBC?

Just watching Bake off creme de la creme on catchup.

One of the judges said he didn't want to see boozy soggy custard with fruit, jelly and custard.

Bloody idiot - I would kill for that, to hell with all the fancy stuff, just give me school diners trifle plus a lot of booze.
