It’s week three, and the heat in the kitchen is already too much for some, as the remaining 11 bakers get ready to deal with desserts....Mary and Paul are upping the ante. Having survived cake and bread, this is the first week we see the bakers having to multi-task across several different baking skills at the same time; a Signature Trifle combining biscuit, cake, jelly or custard in perfectly distinct layers; and a Showstopper that pulls out all the stops, getting the bakers to juggle 24 petit fours that the judges might finally deem acceptable.

It’s week four in the tent and the baking is getting serious, as the remaining bakers put on their pinnies to pimp up pies and tarts. From the country’s oldest known cookbook, we discover the almost 700 year old history of the English custard tart. It might once have been popular at the decadent court of King Richard II but it is now a technical challenge in the Bake Off tent, one which causes more than the intended wobble for the bakers. There is still everything to bake for...on your marks...get set...BAKE!

The bakers offer Mary and Paul their twists on everything from bakewells to banoffees and brownies...Next they face the thinnest Technical Challenge ever devised on Bake Off; the French classic tuiles, biscuits formed into fragile rolls and decorated with piped chocolate.

It’s week six in the tent and time for sweet dough week – but will it prove bitter-sweet for the bakers? They kick off with a signature tea loaf. After this, the bakers face Paul’s most twisted Technical Challenge yet, and a Showstopper that draws on all of Europe for inspiration, creating 36 sweet European buns; from Swedish cinnamon buns to German Schnecken and French brioches.

With only six bakers left in the tent the stakes are getting higher, and this week they face pastry. First, the bakers battle to bring the old fashioned suet pudding up to date with some mean roly-poly puddings. Next, there’s a tough technical challenge to make 8 perfect religieuse; delicate choux buns filled with crème patissiere, topped with shining ganache and balanced delicately one on top of the other. Finally in their pastry marathon the bakers reach the showstopper, and must make three different types of perfectly puffed pastries.

And for their final challenge, the bakers must push themselves out of their comfort zone to create show-stopping novelty vegetable cakes...which must also be dairy free...
