aww, I thought he was sweet! And on Bake Off I feel like you can do that kind of home-y baking more: it would have been amazing if he'd made it for his kid's birthday party, and that's the kind of lovely stuff that goes well on that show.

He was sweet, but the bake actually didn't go over well - just the opposite, really. It was one of the reasons why he was eliminated that round. And despite being a show ostensibly about amateur bakers,the standard for bakes is pretty high. That biscuit rocket might've passed muster in series 1,but definitely not by series 5.

True, true. I think for me it just didn't stand out as wildly embarrassing--just not a very good bake!

By itself, it doesn't look too bad, but iirc the other contestants' sculptures were just conspicuously more sophisticated and his looked very weak in comparison. Homey looking stuff doesn't actually go over that well once you get past a certain point. The judges expect more.

Nope. That kind of "lovely stuff" doesn't really cut the mustard on GBBO and no, they don't really do "that kind of home-y baking". Paul and Mary frequently point out when something looks homemade but doesn't look professional enough and it's seen as a flaw - especially in signature rounds and as you get further into the series. It's really not about homey baking at all, because if you slap together a messy but good cake that your family loves while everyone else does a three tiered Genoise sponge with Italian meringue, sugarwork and marizipan and chocolate sculptures, you will absolutely look bad in comparison and you'll be booted... just like Enwezor was after he turned in that biscuit thing. That's not really my definition of going well.
