Mel:hagrid is the latest edition to bake off and everyone thinks that he has mysteriously left hogwarts.
Sue:good morning bakers and today we would like you to make shortbread yes so you must make it short but not bready.
Mel:the judges would like you to make 18 pieces so you best get started.
Sue:so on your marks get set bake!
(In a field in district 12)
Mary:shortbread is a classic so we're looking for a contemporary twist.
Paul:some of our bakers have had to be reminded that you do need good flavours and not just a good theme.
(Back in the tent)
Hagrid:as the new baker I'm feeling a bit nervous but I have my lucky dragon in my pocket for luck so I should be good.
Mel:hagrid is a keen baker and his rock cakes are a pupil favourite. he is making butter beer flavoured shortbread in the shape of butter beer bottles.
Hazel:I'm making champagne flavoured shortbread in the shape of stars and putting them in a bottle.
Paul:quite expensive.
Hazel:yes I haven't been able to practice them because of the price.
Minho:last week I got my textures wrong so I'm desperately trying to keep the texture simple by putting griever syrum in.
Paul:I'm assuming it has no taste so what will it do to us.
Minho:chancellor Paige helped me tweak it so that it would give you the hallucination of eating your favourite biscuits.
Mary:well it is certainly original.
Jacob:my girlfriends mum helped me come up with the idea of cactus flavoured shortbread from where she originated from.
Mel:after baking his biscuits hagrid needs to find enough time to ice them successfully.
Hagrid:the icing is all dripping down the sides but certain pubs that you go to serve it like that so I'm going with it.
Hazel:I've just remembered that I forgot a bottle opener so once I bottle the stars they won't be able to get them out so I hope that I can just say once again that it's a metaphor.
Jacob:I might just be able to make them stand up to show that they are short and I can do little things.
Minho:I can't have a hallucination so I haven't ever eaten any of these so I tried them out on album and he seemed to like them ish.
Hazel:that's it that's my offering and I hope they like it.
Sue:bakers it's been a rocky road but it's over.
Mary:so Jacob did it all go to plan.
Jacob:yes and I hope you appreciate how small I've made them.
Paul:it's got quite a sharp flavour and the texture is a bit tough instead of short which is an issue for shortbread.
Hazel:I don't have a bottle opener.
Mary:so we can't have the alcohol.
Hazel:no it's a metaphor you put the thing that makes you drunk right under your nose but without a bottle opener you never give it the power to make you drunk. a metaphor.
Hagrid:the icing has slightly seeped but that's what cheap butter beer is like so I hope you appreciate how authentic it is.
Mary:I love the flavour and that is one of the best icings ever.
Paul:well Minho I'm looking forward to my hallucination.
Mary:how did you get the alcohol just right.
Paul:your jammy dodgers are amazing so well done you've achieved something really special minho.
