Isobel P. Hanbro's
Bake-Off Adventure - III

I

sobel RUSHES downstairs to shut off the buzzer, and get her cookies out the oven...

Oh dear. They look BURNED.

They hadn't THOUGHT about a judge...

Ohmigosh. It's famous actress, Varna Sornsonthornson... er... I mean "Sorensen-Thorssen"...

What is VARNA doing here?

Well, Varna is better than NO judge...

Varna is BLUNT...

Nevertheless, she reluctantly agrees to take a nibble... with DISASTROUS results!

Varna's broken a TOOTH?

Thank HEAVENS she was JOKING...

Emily-Amelie modestly steps into the BREACH...

Isobel's baking doesn't stand a CHANCE!

Varna LOVES Emily's shortbread!

Emily doesn't take KINDLY to this slight on her culinary skills...

Emily-Amelie is declared *THE WINNER!*... While Isobel Reflects Sadly on the Inconvenience of enforced baths during Baking Time...

POOR Izzy...

Nancy comes home at that moment to the sound of SHATTERING DISHES!

What on EARTH?-

Isobel's explanation ASTONISHES Nancy!

Fortunately, before Nancy can SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST, Per Gunnar Thorssen 'fesses up...

Hmmm... COULD be true...

Wow...

Ten minutes of determined crunching and an Awed Silence from everyone else later...

He ate ALL those burned cookies?

POOR Uncle Per!

(...And thus ends Isobel P. Hanbro's first-ever, disastrous Baking Attempt.)
