1
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,399
[announcer] First an important message.
2
00:00:15,479 --> 00:00:17,240
You know, I’ve talked about this...
3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,919
You know, I don’t know...
The printer is upside down again and I...
4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,520
Oh, no! Well, how... Maybe I...
Ah, yes, well, that works.
5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,799
Actually I can... I can read that...
Read that fine.
6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,680
Erm, right. Let’s, er... Yeah.
7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,080
Good evening.
Erm, let’s get straight to it.
8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,080
We are now approaching phase 46.
9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,640
Erm, which means that, er,
from Tuesday morning
10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,879
or... Or... Or Wednesday evening,
depending on your height,
11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,280
erm, we are... We are...
We are saying with regards to baking,
12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,599
erm, if... If you must bake
in a tent, bake in a tent.
13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
But please don’t bake in a tent.
14
00:00:54,199 --> 00:00:57,599
And... And... And we are asking people
to use common sense
15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,080
with regards to the distribution
of hundreds and thousands.
16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,519
Erm, now I believe...
I believe we have a...
17
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,320
A question from the lady
in the funky dress. Er, Noelle, yes.
18
00:01:08,399 --> 00:01:10,119
-Hello, Prime Minister.
-Yes.
19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,479
Er, just one quick question.
Is it scone or scone?
20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Right, well, I'm... I'm gonna hand over
to the experts on this.
21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880
-Erm, er, er, Prue Witty?
-Scone.
22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Right, erm,
Professor Paul Hollywood.
23
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:24,240
Scone.
24
00:01:24,839 --> 00:01:27,600
Right, well, I hope
that clears things up for you.
25
00:01:27,679 --> 00:01:30,479
Erm, all that remains is for me to say...
26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Welcome to The Great British Baking Show.
27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
[Sura] My husband said to me,
"Why don't you apply?"
28
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,640
I was like, "I'm not gonna get in.
I'm not gonna get in".
29
00:01:46,199 --> 00:01:49,360
I didn't give it a lot of thought,
I'll be honest with you. [chuckles]
30
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600
I thought, "Oh, I'd love to go on there."
31
00:01:51,679 --> 00:01:55,160
[Noel] This year's bakers will be part
of something very special.
32
00:01:56,119 --> 00:01:59,880
[Rowan] Something about the year 2020
felt as if it was kind of momentous,
33
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,160
possibly not in the way
it's turned out to be,
34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,399
so, erm, I gave it a go.
35
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:06,960
[Noel] Like everyone
up and down the country,
36
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:10,160
the Bake Off has had to make some changes.
37
00:02:10,799 --> 00:02:14,680
It's unbelievable that I'm living
in a wee Bake Off village,
38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,960
a wee Bake Off town.
39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680
[Matt] To save this year's competition,
40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,280
the bakers have volunteered
to leave their loved ones
41
00:02:21,359 --> 00:02:24,040
and live in our very own Bake Off bubble.
42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,359
[Laura] Harder than I thought
leaving home,
43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
so, the night before,
my husband cooked us fajitas,
44
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,079
or "fajeetas"
as he calls them, it just hit me,
45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,359
"I could not see you for seven weeks",
and then I was crying into my dinner.
46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,720
I come from a very loving family.
I miss them, but it has spurred me on.
47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,760
[Matt] And despite everything that
this year has thrown at all of us...
48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,799
Once we all walk into the tent,
I think it'll get back
49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,280
to something very familiar.
50
00:02:49,359 --> 00:02:50,959
[Matt] ...we've made it.
51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,359
It really is exciting and familiar,
comforting, lovely.
52
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:02,200
Would you like to dance with me?
53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,679
[Noel] Twelve new bakers...
54
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,720
[exclaims and laughs]
55
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:11,320
[Noel] ...thirty brand-new
spectacular challenges...
56
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:14,079
Oh, go on, say you like it.
57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,519
-Actually, I love it, yeah.
-Yes!
58
00:03:18,359 --> 00:03:19,959
[Noel] ...and in this unique year...
59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,760
-Have you done this before, Rowan?
-Yes.
60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,840
-And did it work?
-Yes.
61
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:25,920
[Noel laughs]
62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,440
[Noel] ...we begin the competition
with a Cake Week...
63
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:31,200
It's given me quite a few
sleepless nights, this one.
64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,600
[Noel] ...unlike anything
the Baking Show has ever seen.
65
00:03:34,679 --> 00:03:38,560
I don't know if I've ever fancied
a cake before, but I slightly do now.
66
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,720
[Laura] Come on, Freddie,
please stay together.
67
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:42,880
Some of Freddie Mercury's head
is not there.
68
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:45,399
-[gasps]
-It's all gone wrong.
69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560
[whispers] Oh, don't cry. It's all right.
70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,440
It's so stressful, Paul. Why on earth
did I get into this competition?
71
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:53,200
-You chose to come.
-[Marc] I know I did.
72
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,560
[Sura] Ugh! [gasps]
73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,959
Solid start.
74
00:04:00,679 --> 00:04:02,920
[opening theme music playing]
75
00:04:21,599 --> 00:04:24,080
[Matt] We've taken
a little detour and pitched our tent
76
00:04:24,159 --> 00:04:26,719
in the beautiful grounds of Down Hall.
77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680
And our fresh batch of bakers
78
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,880
are about to tackle
three cake-based challenges.
79
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,159
After which, we'll crown one of them
the first Star Baker of 2020
80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,440
and ask another to leave the tent.
81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Hello, bakers, welcome to the tent.
82
00:04:41,479 --> 00:04:44,680
And it's time
for your first ever signature challenge.
83
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,159
The judges would like you to make
that fan favourite, the Battenberg,
84
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,320
rectangular in shape
and wrapped in marzipan.
85
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,440
It can be any sponge you want,
any flavour, but when you cut inside it,
86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,520
it needs to reveal a pattern or a design.
87
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:02,120
You have just two hours.
88
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,919
-You ready for those magic words?
-Yes. Yes, I am.
89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,560
-[Noel] Okay, I'll set you up.
-Okay.
90
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,400
-[Noel] You say it.
-All right. Okay.
91
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:09,919
-On your mark--
-Bake!
92
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,479
[all laugh]
93
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,599
-A little early. Maybe leave a bigger...
-Bit early.
94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,840
-[Noel] Little bit of a gap.
-Bigger gap, okay.
95
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:17,719
All right, yeah. Okay.
96
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,560
On your marks, get set...
97
00:05:29,599 --> 00:05:31,479
-Bake!
-[chuckling]
98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,320
-[Noel] Maybe split the difference.
-Split the difference.
99
00:05:36,719 --> 00:05:39,000
I've been so excited.
I couldn't wait for it to begin.
100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,840
Just raring to go.
101
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:42,359
♪ This is it ♪
102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,080
[chuckling]
103
00:05:44,159 --> 00:05:48,240
Very nice to get started. I'm just, erm...
Hopefully, I'm organised.
104
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,680
My stomach's going like a washing machine.
105
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,560
It's felt like I've sat around waiting
to get going all morning, erm, and...
106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080
Do not know what happened to that.
I broke something already. [chuckles]
107
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:02,400
Battenberg is a lovely signature
to kick off with.
108
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:06,359
Every marzipan lover's favourite cake.
Mine, too.
109
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960
What I'm looking for is a beautiful,
smooth marzipan.
110
00:06:10,039 --> 00:06:13,039
Inside, stark differences
in colour of sponge.
111
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,159
I would keep it basic if I was them,
but make sure I'm punching with flavours
112
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,599
and punching with colours.
113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,280
It's a real treat.
It's very rich 'cause of the marzipan.
114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,880
And it should be wonderful.
I'm looking forward to it.
115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,520
[Paul] Good morning.
116
00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:28,840
-Good morning.
-Hello, Loriea.
117
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:30,960
So, tell us about your Battenberg.
118
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:33,840
I'm making bubble gum
and cream soda flavoured-Battenberg.
119
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:35,919
-Bubble gum?
-Yeah.
120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,599
How are you gonna flavour it bubble gum?
121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,159
Erm, from a bottle. [laughs]
122
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,000
[Prue] What's the other flavour?
123
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,479
-It's a combination of cream soda syrup...
-Oh, my God!
124
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,479
[Loriea] ...and cream soda flavouring.
125
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,080
[Matt] Loriea works
as a radiographer for the NHS
126
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:53,799
and gets all her new recipes
tested by her neighbours in Durham.
127
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320
-Should've asked if you wanted more...
-Thank you very much.
128
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,760
[Matt] Her bubble gum
and cream soda sponges
129
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:01,400
will be wrapped in a bright blue marzipan.
130
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:05,159
What I love about this is you've gone
for everything that is artificial.
131
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Yes!
132
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,799
What I love about this
is absolutely everything.
133
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,200
[all laughing]
134
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
[Noel] Loriea's not the only baker
rediscovering her childhood.
135
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:18,919
-[Matt] Hello, Laura.
-Hello. How are you?
136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
-I'm all right, thanks. How are you doing?
-I'm good.
137
00:07:21,359 --> 00:07:23,520
-[Matt] What is it?
-A raspberry ripple Battenberg.
138
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:26,159
The flavours are raspberry ripple
and coconut.
139
00:07:26,239 --> 00:07:28,960
Oh, lovely!
And are you a big Battenberg fan?
140
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:30,280
-Not really, mate.
-No.
141
00:07:30,359 --> 00:07:32,960
No. I'm not a massive fan
of the marzipan. [chuckles]
142
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:35,280
Yeah. I don't think
this will go in the show.
143
00:07:35,359 --> 00:07:38,120
-It's good to tell people who you are.
-It's good to laugh, right?
144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,799
[Noel] Laura is a Samaritans volunteer
from Halling, Kent...
145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,799
[Laura] Come on, Boris.
146
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520
[Noel] ...and takes huge pride
in the garden she's created
147
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:46,560
with her husband, Matt.
148
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,039
She plans to pipe buttercream roses
149
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,919
on her coconut
and raspberry ripple Battenberg.
150
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
-[Laura] You gonna try some?
-[Matt] I will, but I won't judge it.
151
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
I have the eating age of a nine-year-old.
152
00:07:57,039 --> 00:07:58,919
-What do you mean?
-I'll just eat anything.
153
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,039
I'll eat Super Noodles
and things like that.
154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Nothing wrong with good Super Noodles.
155
00:08:02,719 --> 00:08:04,200
-They're good, aren't they?
-Yeah.
156
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,239
You know they're called
Batchelors Super Noodles?
157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,960
-Yeah.
-'Cause I'm homosexual,
158
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:10,919
I call them
Confirmed Batchelor Super Noodles.
159
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,799
-You're homosexual? I never knew that.
-Well, I help them out at weekends.
160
00:08:15,679 --> 00:08:18,719
[Noel] And there's one more baker
who's rolling back the years...
161
00:08:18,799 --> 00:08:21,520
I'm doing rhubarb and custard Battenberg.
162
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:24,479
So, there's a custard sponge
and then the rhubarb jam will go between,
163
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,080
which I'm hoping will be quite tart.
164
00:08:26,159 --> 00:08:28,599
Are you doing a classic
four square design?
165
00:08:28,679 --> 00:08:31,599
I don't want to show you,
because I haven't got it right yet.
166
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:35,959
I'm trying to get a bit of a funky
star-shaped pattern.
167
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:37,919
[Matt] Lottie lives in Littlehampton
168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640
and unwinds from her job
as a pantomime producer
169
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,680
by listening to Viking metal whilst baking
and doing yoga with her friend, Naomi.
170
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,560
-Do you want to lift your arms up?
-No.
171
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040
[Matt] For her take
on the old-fashioned sweet,
172
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,400
she'll attempt a striped marzipan
to surround her star-shaped sponge,
173
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,600
which there could already
be an issue with.
174
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,160
Why is it curdling?
175
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,079
The sponge has got lumps of butter in.
I prefer it like that, to be honest.
176
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400
It's because the butter is too cold.
177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,400
-You think I should redo my batter?
-Why?
178
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,640
-It's got lumps of butter in it. See?
-Show me.
179
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,000
-Yeah, redo it. Yeah.
-Redo it?
180
00:09:14,079 --> 00:09:16,720
-Oh, mate.
-Solid start.
181
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Just got to weigh out half of this.
182
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:22,319
[Matt] The judges
have demanded Battenbergs
183
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,280
featuring at least
two complementary flavours.
184
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,360
Just adding cream soda
into half of the mixture.
185
00:09:29,439 --> 00:09:33,040
I'm now running about 20 minutes behind.
186
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,319
[Matt] Whilst Lottie has had to start her
trip to the sweet shop all over again...
187
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,640
Nothing gradual about that.
188
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,400
[Matt] ...Dave's headed straight
for the off-licence.
189
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,640
The flavours today,
I'm choosing to do espresso martini.
190
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,480
[Matt] Dave is an armoured
security guard from Hampshire
191
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,240
and he and his partner, Stacey,
192
00:09:50,319 --> 00:09:53,240
are getting ready for the arrival
of their first baby.
193
00:09:53,319 --> 00:09:56,439
One of his sponges will feature
chocolate and coffee liqueur
194
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,720
and the other
will be flavoured with vodka.
195
00:09:59,319 --> 00:10:01,120
-Do you go off-piste a lot?
-Yes.
196
00:10:01,199 --> 00:10:02,959
You read a recipe and go,
"Not doing that"?
197
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,360
[Dave] Gonna have to wing it.
198
00:10:04,439 --> 00:10:07,560
Just see a recipe as a sort of
loose satchel of ideas.
199
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Yeah, it's a guide.
200
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,839
-Rules are meant to be broken.
-Exactly.
201
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
They can't contain you. You're a maverick.
202
00:10:13,319 --> 00:10:14,160
[chuckles]
203
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160
[Matt] But bold flavour combinations
aren't quite enough.
204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Need to get a good, deep red.
205
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:24,160
[Matt] Key to Battenberg success
are contrasting colours.
206
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Some blue food colouring,
it just works.
207
00:10:27,079 --> 00:10:30,240
-[Noel] But unlike Loriea...
-I'm just making raspberry jam.
208
00:10:30,319 --> 00:10:32,680
[Noel] ...some bakers
are colouring their cakes
209
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,480
with something a little less artificial.
210
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,240
I'm doing a sour cherry
and chocolate and walnut Battenberg.
211
00:10:38,319 --> 00:10:41,839
These are sour cherries.
It helps colour it and give it flavour.
212
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,680
[Noel] Marc lives in Cornwall
and is a part-time carer
213
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,079
and full-time single dad
to his daughters, Jasmine and Rosie.
214
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,640
-[Marc] Hey!
-[Jasmine] Rose!
215
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,800
[Noel] His sour cherry and chocolate
and walnut sponges will be wrapped
216
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,520
in a highly-decorated rose water marzipan.
217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,680
[Matt] Hello, Marc.
I've got a question for you.
218
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,319
We have two Marks on the show.
There's you and Mark.
219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Are you willing to surrender your name?
220
00:11:05,439 --> 00:11:07,600
I'll call myself after my dog, Hamish.
221
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:08,920
-Hamish?
-Yeah.
222
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,120
[Matt] What would you normally be doing?
223
00:11:12,199 --> 00:11:14,800
-I work with a young lad.
-Will he be watching this?
224
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,480
-He will be, yeah.
-What's his name?
225
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,400
-His name is Josh.
-Josh.
226
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Hello, Josh. How are you doing? All right?
You should be very proud of Hamish.
227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,959
[laughs]
228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,520
[Loriea] Going into the oven.
229
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,719
[Noel] The sooner the sponges
begin baking...
230
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,199
One on each shelf.
231
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,160
[Noel] ...the sooner they can be cooled.
232
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Stressful.
233
00:11:32,439 --> 00:11:35,640
[Noel] A Battenberg requires
precise cutting and shaping.
234
00:11:35,719 --> 00:11:37,439
Well, it's with the oven gods now.
235
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,199
[Noel] Any attempt to trim a warm sponge
could see it fall apart.
236
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,120
Aah, scary.
237
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:45,640
If I could stop shaking, it would help.
238
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,959
[Noel] Now, Matt,
this is your first ever time call.
239
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280
I know. Can you do it?
240
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,959
-[chuckles] I can't. You do it.
-All right, I'll do it.
241
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,160
I'll do it. No, you do it.
242
00:11:58,199 --> 00:11:59,480
You do it.
243
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,760
Bakers! [laughing]
244
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:04,280
You have one hour left.
245
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,400
And then Paul Hollywood's coming.
246
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,199
Get it in the oven. Please be good to me.
247
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480
[Matt] Deciding when to stop baking
is a crucial decision.
248
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:14,880
[Laura] We're good to go.
249
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:17,719
[Matt] The judges are expecting
a sharp geometric design...
250
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,920
Sponges done.
251
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,680
[Matt] ...which demands
sponges baked just enough
252
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,560
to hold their form when cut.
253
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,240
I'll give that another five minutes.
254
00:12:25,319 --> 00:12:29,360
[Matt] But baked a fraction too long,
a Battenberg's soft texture will be lost.
255
00:12:29,439 --> 00:12:30,560
Another two minutes.
256
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,079
[Matt] And Peter is timing sponges
unlike anyone else's.
257
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,640
[Peter] It's a gluten-free sponge.
258
00:12:35,719 --> 00:12:39,079
I'm actually more used to making
gluten-free than I am regular.
259
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,560
[Noel] Twenty-year-old Peter
260
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,760
is a badminton-mad accountancy student
from Edinburgh.
261
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:46,520
He began wheat-free baking
for his older brother, Andrew,
262
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:47,800
who's gluten intolerant.
263
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,719
High-quality back garden badminton.
264
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199
[Noel] His gluten-free dark chocolate
and orange sponges
265
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,319
will be wrapped in a polka dot marzipan,
266
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,319
and he'll check them with a trick
he learnt when he was just ten years old.
267
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,199
John Whaite on series three of Bake Off
said his mum taught him to listen to it.
268
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:07,800
If it's still wet, it'll sound
like it's boiling away,
269
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,640
but if it's just a nice, moist cake,
270
00:13:09,719 --> 00:13:11,839
it's got a gentle,
gentle sound to it, so...
271
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,040
That was a good tip
from Bake Off. [chuckles]
272
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,880
[Matt] Sura probably won't need
to bake with her ears.
273
00:13:19,959 --> 00:13:22,000
[Sura] The cake is overflowing.
274
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:25,480
I didn't use this tin in practise
'cause it took three weeks to arrive.
275
00:13:26,719 --> 00:13:28,920
[Matt] Sura is a hospital pharmacist
276
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,319
and lives in West London with her husband,
Chad, and their cat, Ghost.
277
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,560
[Sura] What's that?
278
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,680
[Matt] She'll have to transform
her overflowing sponges
279
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,880
into a lemon and orange Battenberg
complete with mini marzipan fruits.
280
00:13:41,599 --> 00:13:44,400
[Sura] I feel sorry for whoever's
gonna clean up after me.
281
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,520
[Matt] Hello, Sura.
282
00:13:45,599 --> 00:13:47,599
You were a bit nervous earlier,
weren't you?
283
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,199
-Yeah.
-You wanted to start again.
284
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,839
-[Sura] I wouldn't have had time.
-You wouldn't. Are you a Battenberg fan?
285
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,360
Will you be trying your own cake
or are you just like,
286
00:13:56,439 --> 00:13:57,880
-"I'm not doing it"?
-I'm over cake.
287
00:13:57,959 --> 00:13:59,680
I've been tasting it and trying it out.
288
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,000
-Really? [chuckles]
-Yeah.
289
00:14:01,079 --> 00:14:03,000
I don't want to eat
any more cake ever again.
290
00:14:03,079 --> 00:14:05,319
You might be on the wrong show, Sura.
291
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,719
Yeah, I know. [blows]
292
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,360
-[Laura] How long have we got left?
-About 40 minutes?
293
00:14:10,439 --> 00:14:13,040
[Noel] Now, the battle for Battenberg
gets even harder.
294
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,400
[Loriea] Very blue.
295
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:17,160
What's life without taking
a little bit of risk, so...
296
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,800
[Lottie] They look overcooked,
but feel relatively soft,
297
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,599
so I can work with that.
298
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360
[Noel] This afternoon tea classic
is famous
299
00:14:24,439 --> 00:14:26,560
for its flawless marzipan wrapping.
300
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,599
[Sura] I've never eaten marzipan.
301
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,880
They were like, "You've got to try it".
I was like, "Mmm-hmm".
302
00:14:31,959 --> 00:14:35,360
[Noel] Paul and Prue have insisted
that the bakers make their own.
303
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120
[Mark] So I'm going for
a dark green marzipan.
304
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:42,360
I'm doing
a Turkish bazaar-inspired Battenberg.
305
00:14:42,439 --> 00:14:44,400
Me and my wife both love Istanbul.
306
00:14:44,479 --> 00:14:47,839
It's actually my wedding anniversary
today, so I thought it was a good...
307
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,479
It's actually a good time
to do the Battenberg, yeah.
308
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,800
[Matt] Mark is a project manager
309
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,079
and lives in Liverpool
with his wife, Laura.
310
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,640
-[dog barks]
-[Mark laughing]
311
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,599
[Matt] Beneath his green marzipan
will be Turkish flavours
312
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,680
of orange, pistachio,
cardamom and pomegranate.
313
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,400
You spoke to your wife yet? Anniversary?
314
00:15:05,479 --> 00:15:07,680
[Mark] I sent her a message earlier
but not since.
315
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,079
-No. Really? Playing it cool?
-Yeah...
316
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,880
-Yeah... [laughs]
-[Noel chuckles]
317
00:15:11,959 --> 00:15:14,640
-Not text her till...
-Can't play it cool once you're married.
318
00:15:14,719 --> 00:15:16,560
-It's a done deal.
-You can't... No, no...
319
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,000
[Noel] At least you didn't forget.
It's quite a busy day for you, to be fair.
320
00:15:20,079 --> 00:15:23,199
-First day, and your anniversary.
-Exactly.
321
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
-It's all stacked up against you. [laughs]
-It is.
322
00:15:25,479 --> 00:15:26,760
-You did really well.
-It is.
323
00:15:26,839 --> 00:15:28,040
[both laugh]
324
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,599
[Matt] And Mark
isn't alone in using colour
325
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,000
to elevate the humble marzipan.
326
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,479
Well, I'm making my night-sky marzipan.
327
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160
My great hero in music is Mozart.
328
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,719
His opera The Magic Flute
329
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,479
is all about the forces of darkness
and the forces of enlightenment.
330
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,640
So, the outside of the cake
is the night sky...
331
00:15:46,719 --> 00:15:47,560
[Noel chuckles]
332
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,839
...which represents
the forces of darkness,
333
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,280
and then inside
is the temple of enlightenment.
334
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,160
-This sounds genius.
-[Prue] So... No...
335
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,240
How are you going to represent
a temple inside a Battenberg?
336
00:15:59,319 --> 00:16:02,079
With a very complicated lot of cutting.
337
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,040
[Matt] Rowan is a music teacher
338
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,040
and lives in Pershore, Worcestershire
with his partner, Paul.
339
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Beneath his marzipan night sky,
340
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,280
his temple will be built from
13 separate sections of sponge.
341
00:16:14,359 --> 00:16:16,439
And have you done this before, Rowan?
342
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,560
-Yes.
-And did it work?
343
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,439
-Yes.
-[Noel laughs]
344
00:16:21,319 --> 00:16:23,520
[Matt] And if you thought
a marzipan night sky
345
00:16:23,599 --> 00:16:26,120
and Battenberg temple were unusual...
346
00:16:26,199 --> 00:16:29,520
My Battenberg is gonna be shaped
as an ambulance.
347
00:16:29,599 --> 00:16:30,640
[chuckling]
348
00:16:30,719 --> 00:16:32,640
[Noel] Linda works in supported housing
349
00:16:32,719 --> 00:16:35,520
and lives in Bexhill-on-Sea
with her partner, Richard.
350
00:16:35,599 --> 00:16:37,000
[Linda] Aww, it's lovely.
351
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:39,640
[Noel] Her Battenberg ambulance
will be dedicated
352
00:16:39,719 --> 00:16:41,479
to a very special family member.
353
00:16:42,079 --> 00:16:44,719
[Linda] It's going to be
a tribute to my cousin.
354
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,079
He was a paramedic.
355
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,880
He sadly passed away.
He was a fantastic guy.
356
00:16:49,959 --> 00:16:53,439
So, this is a really special one.
Gonna make me cry, this one.
357
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,359
[chuckling]
358
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,000
[Matt] A classic marzipan
is a carefully kneaded mix
359
00:16:59,079 --> 00:17:01,760
of eggs, sugar and ground almonds.
360
00:17:02,839 --> 00:17:06,440
A traditional recipe
that Mak has decided to ignore.
361
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,520
I think I'm the only baker
doing pistachio.
362
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,440
I've always felt... blergh,
363
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,480
a yuckiness about almond marzipan.
364
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,280
[Noel] Mak is a management accountant
for a housing association
365
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,680
and keeps bees with his eldest son, Zafar,
on their allotment in Bolton.
366
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,560
[Mak] Ooh! This looks a bit full.
367
00:17:22,639 --> 00:17:27,520
[Noel] His pistachio marzipan will wrap
orange and spiced stem ginger sponges.
368
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,280
[Mak] My kids, they're the same as me.
They don't really like almond marzipan.
369
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,200
So, I thought, "Hey, let's do pistachios".
370
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,080
I'm measuring some orange liqueur
to add to my marzipan.
371
00:17:40,159 --> 00:17:41,800
Good boy. Well done!
372
00:17:41,879 --> 00:17:43,720
[Matt] Hermine is a trainee accountant
373
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,360
and lives in West London
with her son, Stephen.
374
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,280
What are you doing?
375
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,720
[Matt] In the marzipan
for her chocolate-orange Battenberg,
376
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,280
orange liqueur won't be
the only surprising ingredient.
377
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,840
I'm making it with some marmalade.
378
00:17:57,919 --> 00:18:02,000
-Marmalade in the marzipan?
-Yes, instead of, er, eggs.
379
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,120
Interesting.
380
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,200
-I've never made a Battenberg before.
-That's handy.
381
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,399
-You've practised it, though?
-[Hermine] I did.
382
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,560
It's not my area of, er...
383
00:18:10,639 --> 00:18:11,760
-Expertise.
-Expertise.
384
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,440
What is your area of expertise?
385
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,240
My French patisserie.
386
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,720
We look forward
to great decoration on this, then.
387
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,360
-Hopefully. [laughs nervously]
-[judges laugh]
388
00:18:20,919 --> 00:18:23,520
[Noel] Bakers, you've only got
half an hour left.
389
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,879
We don't mean half an hour to live,
390
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,639
we just mean half an hour till the end
of the challenge, so don't panic too much.
391
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,520
One of you's got half an hour to live.
392
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,679
[chuckles]
393
00:18:36,159 --> 00:18:39,360
[Noel] A Battenberg must have
a sharp symmetrical design...
394
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,280
Voilà!
395
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:43,879
[Noel] ...which can only be achieved
with patient and precise cutting.
396
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,200
Lovely. A crispy cake.
397
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,200
We'll cut it off, we'll cut it off.
No one saw apart from the cameras.
398
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Just measuring it with a ruler
and going with the flow.
399
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,200
[Mark] It's all about precision, this one.
400
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960
[Mak] If you get the measurements wrong,
when you put them together,
401
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,280
they might be oddly out of shape
and the Battenberg wouldn't sit right.
402
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,600
Okay.
403
00:19:02,679 --> 00:19:04,760
[Noel] But to erect his temple...
404
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,560
[Rowan] Three point three.
405
00:19:06,639 --> 00:19:09,639
[Noel] ...Rowan has more cutting to do
than anyone else.
406
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,159
[exhales] Here we go.
407
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:17,240
I've made this box out of
a CD storage thing with various cuts
408
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,960
that slots in at different levels
to give me the right size bits of cake.
409
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,840
There are 13 different pieces
so hopefully it'll work.
410
00:19:24,919 --> 00:19:26,080
So warm.
411
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,440
[Matt] But Lottie
isn't ready to begin cutting.
412
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,560
[Lottie] I'm making the marzipan.
413
00:19:31,639 --> 00:19:34,639
It's not a skill I need,
I don't think, moving forward.
414
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,760
[Matt] And now,
she's not the only baker...
415
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,760
[Sura] I'm praying that it cools down.
416
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,360
[Matt] ...fretting about time.
417
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,320
[Laura] Oh, I'm really worried that
that's not cooked enough.
418
00:19:43,399 --> 00:19:46,000
-How long have we got left?
-Twenty-four minutes.
419
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,720
[Rowan] Oh, for goodness sake.
420
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,480
[Noel] The larger sponges
for Rowan's temple are raw in the middle.
421
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,159
I think I'm going to put
a cake in the microwave
422
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,080
'cause they cook from the middle.
423
00:19:58,159 --> 00:20:01,240
Try and cook the centre that way.
Is this just gonna be a disaster?
424
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,000
You've got to roll out the meringue,
er, the marzipan.
425
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200
That goes to show how much I like that.
426
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000
[Noel] Roll too thick and the marzipan
427
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
will overwhelm the flavours
of the cakes and fillings...
428
00:20:13,159 --> 00:20:14,560
[Laura] Oh, please taste nice.
429
00:20:14,639 --> 00:20:18,879
[Noel] ...but too thin and it will crack
as they wrap it around their Battenberg.
430
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,960
[Marc] I've added a bit
of rosewater in there.
431
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,120
[Peter] Rolling out balls
of chocolate marzipan
432
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200
and that's gonna make a polka dot effect
on the outside of the cake.
433
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,919
[Matt] Bakers, you have 15 minutes.
434
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,320
Moment of truth.
435
00:20:30,399 --> 00:20:32,800
Just spreading on some buttercream.
436
00:20:33,639 --> 00:20:37,200
[Matt] Whilst the delicate process
of construction can begin for some...
437
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,040
[Peter] The aim is to get the edges sharp.
438
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,720
They're gonna be looking for
a clean cross-section.
439
00:20:43,639 --> 00:20:44,600
[Laura] No pressure.
440
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,639
[Rowan] I don't think it's great.
I might have to simplify my design.
441
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,520
The temple might have to go. [laughs]
442
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
[Matt] As Rowan's plans
get less ambitious...
443
00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:55,159
[Lottie] Okay, what am I doing?
444
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,000
[Matt] ...despite being behind,
Lottie's rhubarb and custard Battenberg
445
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,520
seems to be getting
more and more complicated.
446
00:21:02,159 --> 00:21:04,159
[Lottie] Everything
that is so easy at home
447
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,120
suddenly becomes an absolute nightmare
when you're in the tent.
448
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,280
[Rowan] How many minutes? Seven. Seven.
449
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:12,440
Gosh.
450
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Right, here goes nothing.
451
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,399
[Noel] Paul and Prue are expecting
a flawless wrapping of marzipan.
452
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,080
[Peter] The marzipan
is gonna join at the bottom
453
00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:27,000
so the seam of the marzipan
shouldn't be visible.
454
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,639
Maybe just a... A more blocky shape.
455
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,440
[inhales sharply] Ooh. I'm really sticky.
456
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,520
[Loriea] It's cracking in some areas.
457
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,159
[Sura] How long?
458
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,600
[Rowan] What are we, three minutes now?
Come on, come on.
459
00:21:46,399 --> 00:21:47,919
Can't complain.
460
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Hey, Lottie, is this a critical moment?
461
00:21:52,879 --> 00:21:55,439
-Yeah, it is. Thanks for coming round.
-[chuckling]
462
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,280
[Lottie] Why did I put an intricate design
463
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,840
-with minutes to spare?
-[Noel] Yeah.
464
00:21:58,919 --> 00:22:00,200
-"Yeah"?
-Looks good, though.
465
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,000
You're gonna wrap this
around that when that's done?
466
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,240
You're nailing this.
467
00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:11,159
One minute remaining.
468
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,439
Maybe take the cling film off.
469
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Bit of stardust on there.
470
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Bakers, your time is up!
471
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,919
[Rowan] I'm not displeased
with that, actually.
472
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,439
[Lottie] We don't have to wash up.
473
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,879
-Oh, yes!
-Yes!
474
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,520
[Noel] The bakers will now face
Prue and Paul for the very first time.
475
00:22:47,439 --> 00:22:49,399
[Paul] I like the overall look of it,
it's neat.
476
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,919
[Prue] I love the polka dots.
477
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Love the texture of the chocolate one.
478
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,200
It's both crumbly and moist
which is quite difficult to get.
479
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,320
Nice thin marzipan.
480
00:23:02,399 --> 00:23:05,000
The chocolate's got
a lovely flavour to it. Decadent.
481
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,560
It's the same with the orange.
482
00:23:06,639 --> 00:23:09,560
Gluten-free flour
for sponges really does work.
483
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:11,040
-It's great.
-[Prue] Delicious.
484
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:12,480
-Well done.
-Thank you.
485
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,439
Well done.
486
00:23:14,399 --> 00:23:16,200
[all laughing]
487
00:23:18,919 --> 00:23:20,320
[Prue] It's very neat, isn't it?
488
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,240
Good orange flavour.
489
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,280
I just question the ginger with the orange
and then on the outside, the pistachio.
490
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,520
It's too complicated.
491
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,679
The almond marzipan
would have been better than the pistachio.
492
00:23:34,639 --> 00:23:37,360
-[Prue] That looks striking.
-[Paul] The decoration's neat.
493
00:23:37,439 --> 00:23:40,000
The marmalade brings bitterness
to the marzipan.
494
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,120
It blends the orange
and the chocolate together,
495
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,399
-so it's never gonna be too sweet.
-It really is a pleasure to eat it.
496
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,919
-Aw, that means a lot. Thank you.
-[Paul] Good job.
497
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,879
The one thing you expect
from a Battenberg is incredible neatness.
498
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,720
You've got no distinction
in the colours of the sponge.
499
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,399
But your flowers look sweet.
500
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,760
I'm getting a plain sponge
and the raspberry.
501
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,639
-Okay.
-And that's pretty much it.
502
00:24:09,439 --> 00:24:11,480
[Prue] Really nice square edges.
503
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,120
The coffee overpowers the chocolate.
504
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,159
-It's delicious.
-[Paul] You can't really get the booze.
505
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,840
It's a beautiful coffee
and vanilla Battenberg.
506
00:24:20,919 --> 00:24:22,240
I think you explained it wrong.
507
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,399
It's lacking identity.
508
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,840
-[chuckles] Yeah.
-[Paul] He's just unfinished.
509
00:24:30,919 --> 00:24:33,520
-[Linda] Yes.
-[Paul] Oh, we have the St George flag.
510
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,200
-It's over-baked. It's bone dry.
-Yeah.
511
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840
[Prue] I wish we could give you marks
512
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:41,840
-for your handsome cousin.
-[Linda] He's lovely.
513
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,120
-[Prue] Very striking.
-[Paul] I can smell the bubble gum.
514
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,480
-[Matt] About to say...
-So can I. [chuckles]
515
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,840
That's a good thing.
516
00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:55,879
I'm rolling it round
to try and blow a bubble.
517
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,560
I reckon if I did it long enough,
I probably could. That's bone dry.
518
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,080
The flavours are intense.
I love bubble gum, I like cream soda,
519
00:25:03,159 --> 00:25:05,960
it just needed to be
a little bit less heavy.
520
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,960
And it's really thick, the marzipan.
521
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,040
I do rather like it, I have to say.
522
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,919
When I have my ninth birthday party,
can you cook for me?
523
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,080
I will try not to over bake the sponges.
So, we've got a deal. [laughs]
524
00:25:20,879 --> 00:25:22,280
[Prue] It's a nice light sponge.
525
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,800
It's a little thick,
but I like the marzipan.
526
00:25:24,879 --> 00:25:27,040
Pomegranates don't do anything
flavour-wise.
527
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,040
There's pistachio in the green sponge,
528
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,639
-that brings a lovely texture to it.
-Thank you.
529
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,639
[Paul] If Fanny Cradock
was gonna do a Battenberg...
530
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,520
-[both] That would be it.
-Is that a compliment?
531
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
-[Marc] I know...
-[Prue] I think it's a bit too busy.
532
00:25:43,439 --> 00:25:46,439
-Good strong sour cherry. Lovely.
-[Paul] Fantastic.
533
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,480
-There's too much rose water.
-Okay.
534
00:25:52,919 --> 00:25:54,520
-Shall I open it for you?
-[Paul] Please.
535
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,760
[Prue] I like it wrapped up.
Oh, I love your stripes.
536
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,439
-[Paul] The starburst.
-Yeah.
537
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,480
It's a little bit messy.
Was it warm when you were doing it?
538
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,800
Yeah.
539
00:26:03,879 --> 00:26:06,439
The colours are really wonderful.
540
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,439
I like the cake.
541
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,399
They both taste the same,
is that meant to...
542
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,679
-Er, yes?
-[Prue and Lottie laughing]
543
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,560
The yellow is supposed be a custard.
544
00:26:16,639 --> 00:26:19,000
[Prue] They both taste delicious,
and the same.
545
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,120
The rhubarb jam
that you've made is nice and strong.
546
00:26:22,199 --> 00:26:24,760
And there's enough acidity in it
to cut the sweetness.
547
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,960
It's a good effort.
548
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,159
-I'm struggling not to eat more.
-[Matt] Mmm.
549
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,879
-Do you want to finish?
-I'll stay here
550
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,040
-and eat.
-Please do.
551
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,280
They'll judge everyone else.
552
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,560
I had to change the design
at the very last minute.
553
00:26:41,639 --> 00:26:44,320
-So no temple, then?
-It's a deconstructed temple.
554
00:26:44,399 --> 00:26:47,000
[Paul] I think the night sky
looks quite effective.
555
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,199
[Prue] Yes. And actually, it's quite neat.
556
00:26:49,679 --> 00:26:51,919
I can tell by the way
the knife goes through
557
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,800
that that's quite a heavy sponge.
558
00:26:53,879 --> 00:26:56,000
-It's a bit hard work for cake.
-[Rowan] Okay.
559
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,000
[chuckles]
560
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,520
There's moisture in there
that still needs to get out.
561
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Okay.
562
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,560
-That looks really pretty.
-Thank you.
563
00:27:08,639 --> 00:27:11,560
[Paul] I like the decoration.
I like that you've glazed it, too,
564
00:27:11,639 --> 00:27:13,000
'cause that, again, sets it off.
565
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,360
[Prue] The flavours are there.
566
00:27:16,439 --> 00:27:18,760
The texture is very good. It's very neat.
567
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,120
I like the marzipan.
Individual elements are good,
568
00:27:21,199 --> 00:27:23,560
-including the buttercream.
-It's a lovely piece of cake.
569
00:27:23,639 --> 00:27:24,800
Thank you so much.
570
00:27:25,399 --> 00:27:26,840
What's the stalk made from?
571
00:27:26,919 --> 00:27:29,000
-[Sura] You're not meant to eat it.
-I know that now.
572
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,560
[all laughing]
573
00:27:30,639 --> 00:27:33,280
It's a clove.
So your mouth's gonna be numb now.
574
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,480
It tastes of Christmas.
575
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,560
-Yeah, yeah.
-Sorry.
576
00:27:36,639 --> 00:27:38,439
It's fine 'cause the cake was delicious.
577
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,919
-I don't mind.
-Thank you so much.
578
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,199
-Thank you.
-[Paul] Thank you.
579
00:27:42,919 --> 00:27:46,600
Half of the Battenberg is on the...
the bottom of the oven.
580
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,280
Not great.
Erm, it's like toast. It's horrible.
581
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,520
But it turned out okay.
582
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,280
Yay!
583
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:59,280
That couldn't have gone much better.
I'm really pretty amped about that, yeah.
584
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:00,520
[exhales]
585
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,840
Breathe.
586
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:04,159
I was aiming for the middle
of the road and got it.
587
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,520
Don't want to make a name
for myself first... first bake.
588
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,000
It wasn't a resounding success.
But I thought it was useful.
589
00:28:15,399 --> 00:28:17,560
[Noel] Each week,
the bakers' second challenge
590
00:28:17,639 --> 00:28:19,600
will be a gingham-covered mystery.
591
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560
It's time
for your first technical challenge,
592
00:28:23,639 --> 00:28:26,280
which comes courtesy of Paul Hollywood.
593
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:28,399
Paul, any words of wisdom?
594
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,760
This is a classic.
595
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,480
We're testing you on your timings
and your consistency.
596
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,199
So read your recipes carefully.
597
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,480
[Noel] Very helpful.
598
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,280
Basically, read your recipes.
599
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,480
This challenge will be judged blind
600
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,360
so we're gonna have to ask
these two lovelies to beat it.
601
00:28:43,439 --> 00:28:44,360
Off you pop.
602
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:51,399
Paul Hollywood would like you to make
six miniature pineapple upside-down cakes.
603
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,760
Each should be topped
with a fresh pineapple ring
604
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,879
and soaked in caramel syrup.
605
00:28:56,959 --> 00:28:58,040
[Noel] You have 90 minutes.
606
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,879
-On your marks...
-Get set...
607
00:28:59,959 --> 00:29:00,800
Bake!
608
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,520
[Laura] I love pineapple upside-down cake.
609
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,639
My dad and my husband love it.
So, I've made it a few times.
610
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,840
[Peter] I've made
pineapple upside-down cake in school.
611
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:14,560
[Matt] In each technical challenge,
the bakers are given identical ingredients
612
00:29:14,639 --> 00:29:16,840
and the same pared-down recipe.
613
00:29:16,919 --> 00:29:19,600
I've actually never made this before.
Funny enough.
614
00:29:19,679 --> 00:29:20,919
Never even tried one.
615
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,360
I've heard of it.
I've not eaten one, I don't think.
616
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,040
This is a classic bake.
Pineapple upside-down cake is something
617
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,760
I used to have at school dinners.
618
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,040
[Prue] It does look lovely.
Shall we taste it?
619
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,159
It's light, buttery, but also,
you have the perfect caramel.
620
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,679
If it goes too dark, it's too bitter.
But if you can't see the caramel,
621
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,840
you're not gonna be able
to get that caramel flavour.
622
00:29:43,919 --> 00:29:47,520
The worst thing is ripping the sponge
when they're trying to get it out.
623
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,320
Getting it out of the tin
is where most people come unstuck
624
00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:53,280
because the caramel
sticks to the edge and it's difficult.
625
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,480
[Paul] Gonna be interesting.
626
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,800
I don't want to eat this
'cause I've got 12 to come.
627
00:29:56,879 --> 00:29:59,600
-I can't resist it.
-Ah, ditto.
628
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,480
[Sura] The first step is for the syrup.
629
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,840
"Tip 30g of caster sugar into a pan."
630
00:30:04,919 --> 00:30:06,240
[Peter] "Two tablespoons water."
631
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,360
"Place over low heat,
stir until sugar dissolves."
632
00:30:08,439 --> 00:30:11,399
"Increase the heat
and cook to a golden caramel."
633
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,840
The caramel can crystallise very quickly.
634
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:16,560
I'm trying not to stir it,
but I need it to hurry up
635
00:30:16,639 --> 00:30:18,159
because I don't have all day.
636
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,280
I've not made many caramels, so...
637
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,360
Slightly nervous.
638
00:30:22,439 --> 00:30:23,439
So, how's it going?
639
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,040
[Loriea] It's a case of multi-tasking
and keeping my eyes on the syrup.
640
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,399
-[Noel] You pull this off, maybe...
-I might just make it to next week.
641
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,080
...the dry blue cake
might become a distant memory.
642
00:30:33,159 --> 00:30:35,520
No, I think that'll be
haunting me for a while.
643
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,760
[Linda] "Remove from heat
and pour in boiling water,
644
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,240
stand back
as the caramel will spit a bit."
645
00:30:42,159 --> 00:30:46,120
And then, I'll reduce it and simmer
until it is in syrup consistency.
646
00:30:46,199 --> 00:30:48,000
You need to hurry up.
647
00:30:48,919 --> 00:30:50,679
[Loriea] I'm fairly happy.
648
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,399
It's looking a bit blond
so I need to take the syrup
649
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,679
that little bit further.
650
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,840
That's getting close.
I'll turn it down a bit.
651
00:30:56,919 --> 00:30:58,840
Looks like it could burn on me.
652
00:30:58,919 --> 00:31:00,919
Might be a bit too dark, not sure.
653
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,199
It did smell
like it was about to burn. But, erm...
654
00:31:05,399 --> 00:31:06,399
Happy with it.
655
00:31:07,959 --> 00:31:11,800
Now I'm on to the very instructional stage
of making the sponge.
656
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,840
So that's butter and sugar.
You beat it until it's light.
657
00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:17,360
Next...
658
00:31:17,439 --> 00:31:19,760
Add a little bit of flour as you go,
659
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,679
because it can just curdle a little bit.
660
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,320
I'm gonna try and not have a dry sponge.
661
00:31:26,399 --> 00:31:28,399
Prepare the moulds. Prepare the moulds.
662
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,879
I've lined them with butter
to make sure they'll get out.
663
00:31:30,959 --> 00:31:33,520
"Divide the syrup
and place a pineapple ring
664
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,480
and a maraschino cherry into each mould."
665
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,080
So syrup in first.
666
00:31:38,159 --> 00:31:39,439
And then the pineapple.
667
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,679
I'm not quite sure what quantity
I'm supposed to put in, though.
668
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,480
[Noel] The level of syrup
has to be precise.
669
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,399
[Dave] I don't know
if that can go on there.
670
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,480
That can't go on there.
671
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,000
[Noel] Too little, and the cake won't have
a decadent caramel flavour
672
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,439
that Paul has demanded.
673
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,959
[Rowan] Try and get more even.
674
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,879
[Noel] But too much, and the liquid
will prevent the sponge from rising.
675
00:32:01,959 --> 00:32:04,800
[Linda] Oh! Possibly too much caramel.
676
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,439
Haven't read things very well, have I?
677
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,040
[Marc] Gone over a little bit.
678
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,399
Yikes. [chuckles]
679
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,280
[Rowan] I'll need to weigh to make sure
I've got equal amounts of batter.
680
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,959
[Lottie] Can't be doing with the fiddly.
681
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,600
-You'd rather make one big massive one?
-Like a traybake
682
00:32:18,679 --> 00:32:20,800
-to feed--
-A huge one we could all sit around?
683
00:32:20,879 --> 00:32:23,080
-Yeah, like a table.
-And just tear chunks off.
684
00:32:23,159 --> 00:32:25,320
-Exactly.
-Like wild...
685
00:32:25,399 --> 00:32:26,840
-Animals. Yeah.
-...animals.
686
00:32:26,919 --> 00:32:30,240
[Peter] I'm using a piping bag
'cause it's just faster and cleaner.
687
00:32:31,399 --> 00:32:34,120
-Get ready to go into the oven.
-So, in it goes.
688
00:32:34,199 --> 00:32:37,600
-[Noel] Forty-five minutes remaining.
-How long do they go into the oven for?
689
00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:40,159
You just watch it.
This is what I'm guessing. I don't know.
690
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,959
No. Well, don't look at me.
I ain't got a clue.
691
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
-Okay.
-Okay.
692
00:32:46,199 --> 00:32:48,639
I'm gonna start with ten,
give 'em a wee check.
693
00:32:48,719 --> 00:32:50,240
About 15 minutes.
694
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,320
I made the rookie error.
Didn't butter the moulds.
695
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,639
More than likely gonna stick.
696
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,439
[Noel] Bakers, you've got 15 minutes left.
697
00:33:03,159 --> 00:33:04,639
They smell cooked.
698
00:33:04,719 --> 00:33:08,399
[Linda] I think they're cooked
but they're not up where they should be.
699
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Yep, as far as I can tell, that's good.
700
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,679
They sound about right.
701
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,919
[Noel] They look good. Look at those!
702
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120
-You got skills.
-I hope so.
703
00:33:17,199 --> 00:33:18,439
I wasn't sure earlier.
704
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,840
-[Sura laughs]
-I'm joking.
705
00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:21,199
What should I do with that?
706
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,879
-I'm gonna take--
-Take it away?
707
00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:25,480
-You can't, it's hot.
-Maybe just throw it behind you.
708
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Throw it, someone will deal with it.
709
00:33:27,159 --> 00:33:28,760
-You don't have to deal with that.
-No.
710
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,120
You're a baking superstar.
711
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,040
[Linda] Well, they've just sunk.
So they've not worked.
712
00:33:35,879 --> 00:33:39,919
Oh, gosh. They're like toffee. There's
too much syrup. That's what it was.
713
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:43,280
[Lottie] Shall I do that thing
that people do on Bake Off?
714
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Just do this for a little while.
715
00:33:44,919 --> 00:33:47,280
Does this work? You think this works?
716
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Everybody wafts.
717
00:33:49,879 --> 00:33:51,000
Bit of waftage.
718
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,800
[blowing] How long left?
719
00:33:52,879 --> 00:33:53,719
Bakers.
720
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,439
-[Noel] You... Five... Left!
-[Matt] Have... Minutes...
721
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,760
[Marc] Still quite warm.
722
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,719
Oh, dear.
723
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,159
I think I should turn them out.
724
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,760
[Laura] Moment of truth.
725
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,040
That's one that's good,
but the pineapple didn't come out,
726
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,279
-so we're on a rescue mission.
-Er, ooh, er. [laughs]
727
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,759
[Sura] Spot on.
728
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,279
[laughing] They're not gonna come out,
I don't think.
729
00:34:42,839 --> 00:34:45,279
[Rowan] Better than it might have been.
Put it that way.
730
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,360
[Marc] It would've been nice
to have nice, clean sides,
731
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,319
but I didn't grease my moulds.
732
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,520
They would've been even
if I managed to carve it out nicer.
733
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,839
[Linda] I could just shape that like that.
Oh, they are a disaster, aren't they?
734
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,480
Bakers, you do be have one minute now.
735
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,960
[Laura] Gonna pipe the rosettes on,
and I'll be good.
736
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,400
Put some cream, a cherry on top.
737
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
I don't think they'll be cool enough.
738
00:35:08,319 --> 00:35:11,880
-[Mark] It's too hot.
-[Loriea] Ooh, that one was not ready.
739
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,279
The cream's starting to fall off.
740
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,319
Bakers, your time is up.
741
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,720
[Loriea] Oh, my cream fell off.
742
00:35:23,799 --> 00:35:26,680
Please place
your pineapple upside-down cakes
743
00:35:26,759 --> 00:35:29,880
on the gingham cloth
in front of your pictures.
744
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,960
-[laughs]
-[Loriea] What a hideous cake.
745
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,920
[sighs] Oh, I think I deserve a cherry.
746
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,120
-Look at this.
-[Mark] Oh, no.
747
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,839
[Sura] Oh! Go away. Ugh!
748
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,839
-Ooh. [gasps]
-[Rowan] No!
749
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,240
I'm so sorry.
750
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,279
Oh, my God.
751
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,480
I'm so sorry. There was a fly.
I went to shoo it away,
752
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,160
-and knocked... Look.
-Don't worry about it. It's fine.
753
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:06,600
I'm... I'm sure they can go by
754
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,759
what they looked like
before I brought them over.
755
00:36:08,839 --> 00:36:10,759
-[Sura] Let's tidy it up.
-[Matt] The good news
756
00:36:10,839 --> 00:36:15,600
is the front two are absolutely fine.
And we'll tell Paul what happened.
757
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,680
[whispers] Oh, don't cry. It's all right.
758
00:36:17,759 --> 00:36:19,799
-It's okay.
-[Sura] Such a horrible thing...
759
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,799
Yeah, I know.
You know what? He's okay.
760
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,960
[Mark] Total accident.
761
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,560
It happens. Accidents happen.
762
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
-I blame Matt, really.
-[Matt] It was actually my fault,
763
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,080
because I was looking at you
at the time it happened.
764
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,759
And you were probably
hypnotised by my beauty.
765
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,480
[laughing]
766
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,200
-[Matt] That's what happened.
-Maybe.
767
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,160
[Noel] Paul and Prue are expecting
six identical pineapple upside-down cakes
768
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:47,040
topped with caramel, cream
and crowned with a cherry.
769
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,600
And they'll have no idea whose is whose.
770
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,160
[Sura sighs]
771
00:36:52,759 --> 00:36:54,040
Shall we start over here?
772
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,319
-It's got a nice height to it.
-[Prue] It's about the right colour.
773
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,359
The cream went on
when they were still hot.
774
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,960
[Paul] Let's have a look.
775
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,799
-Nice and light, it's well-balanced.
-Very light.
776
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,080
[Paul] Again, it's the heat.
777
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,120
You can see where the cream melted
and it slid off the top.
778
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,839
Good flavour, that cake.
It just doesn't look great.
779
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,200
[Paul] These do look neat.
Colour looks good.
780
00:37:18,279 --> 00:37:20,960
And it's pretty uniform as well,
across all six.
781
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,040
The balance between the sponge,
the cream...
782
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,640
-It's good.
-...and syrup together,
783
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:27,160
-the balance is good.
-[Prue] Lovely.
784
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:30,319
[Paul] Moving on to number four.
Again, problems with the heat.
785
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,359
Coming out the tins,
just needs to be higher,
786
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,000
-just a little bit more open.
-[Prue] It's a bit doughy.
787
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,640
[Paul] These look quite neat.
Cherry sits well on the top.
788
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,080
-[Prue] Nice colour.
-[Paul] They're pretty uniform.
789
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,520
-[Prue] Lovely cake.
-[Paul] It is a nice cake.
790
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,680
Moving on.
Now, looks quite dark in places.
791
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,319
That caramel is a bit dominant
because it's a little darker.
792
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,839
This, on the other hand,
is a bit too pale.
793
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,240
[Paul] It's pale. They were rushing,
brought it out early.
794
00:37:56,319 --> 00:37:59,080
Put the cream when it was piping hot,
and it just poured off side.
795
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,400
-Yeah. It does not look a pretty thing.
-[chuckling] It doesn't.
796
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,480
[Prue] If you get it a little browner,
it takes away from some of the sweetness
797
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,319
because the caramel has that
just tiny little bit of bitterness.
798
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,759
-Anyway...
-We're going from pale to very dark.
799
00:38:14,839 --> 00:38:16,839
This one got stuck in the tin.
800
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,000
-But also, that's too dark.
-[Prue] Yeah.
801
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,560
It's a bit too dark.
802
00:38:22,319 --> 00:38:25,279
-It's quite bitter.
-Mmm. And there's a lot of caramel.
803
00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:26,240
[Paul] It's burnt.
804
00:38:26,319 --> 00:38:28,560
We move on to one
that's just in the middle.
805
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,560
[Prue] And looks really nice.
I mean, the piping's good,
806
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,600
caramel colour is good.
They're even, they're all risen.
807
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,359
[Paul] The caramel's just the right level,
so it brings in the colour, the flavour.
808
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,960
-No problem with that at all.
-Mmm.
809
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,839
Moving on to this one. Piping's good.
810
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,759
[Prue] Excellent.
811
00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:46,200
[Paul] It's been put on
when it's relatively cool.
812
00:38:47,759 --> 00:38:49,720
It's well-balanced. You have caramel--
813
00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:51,279
-It's lovely.
-Almost toffee-like.
814
00:38:51,359 --> 00:38:53,520
And it balances beautifully
with the sponge.
815
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,920
Now, we move
from the sublime to number 11.
816
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,440
Issues bringing it out,
issues with the sponge.
817
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,080
[Prue] Didn't rise enough.
818
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,240
-[Paul] Getting it out.
-Hot when the cream went on.
819
00:39:02,319 --> 00:39:05,680
Too hot when the cream went on.
What has happened to this?
820
00:39:05,759 --> 00:39:07,880
[Prue] I don't think
it's properly cooked, is it?
821
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,440
[Paul] Looks like it's been
pushed together into the tin.
822
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,680
Moving on to the last one.
823
00:39:12,759 --> 00:39:15,040
We heard there was an issue
where it was dropped,
824
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,839
so this one being the neatest one,
we'll take that as a template.
825
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,400
-[Noel] Yeah.
-[Paul] They look dark
826
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,359
down the side there, almost burnt.
827
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,120
That's not because it was dropped.
828
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,359
-[Prue laughs]
-[Paul] It's been over-caramelised.
829
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,400
But they've got a nice height to them.
830
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,600
Mmm. Delicious.
831
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,520
[Noel] Paul and Prue will now
rank the cakes from worst to best.
832
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,600
In 12th place is this one.
833
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:39,720
Oh, Linda.
834
00:39:39,799 --> 00:39:41,960
Well, you know what,
there's only one way now.
835
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,759
It's up from here, isn't it?
836
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,920
Eleventh spot is this one.
837
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,640
Very bitter. That caramel
had gone way over the top.
838
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,160
-You had a problem with it sticking.
-Then, number ten is this one.
839
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:57,080
Loriea. This is the opposite of that one.
It's just a little too pale.
840
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:03,400
[Matt] Dave is ninth, Mak eighth,
Mark is seventh, Laura six,
841
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,240
Hermine is fifth and Lottie is fourth.
842
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,680
In third spot, we have this one.
843
00:40:08,759 --> 00:40:12,200
Good consistency across the board
and the sponge was very, very good.
844
00:40:12,279 --> 00:40:14,240
And then, in second place...
845
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,600
we have this one. Who is that?
846
00:40:19,319 --> 00:40:21,920
Peter. It is pretty well faultless.
847
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,160
But a smidgen below the winner.
848
00:40:24,799 --> 00:40:26,440
Which leaves first place.
849
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,680
Well done, Sura. They're very, very good.
850
00:40:29,759 --> 00:40:34,480
The pipe work was beautiful and smooth,
the sponge, the caramel. Well done.
851
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,359
It was bittersweet
because I feel so sad for Dave.
852
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,960
I know you hate that
but you did really well.
853
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,960
I wish it...
I wish it didn't happen, to be honest.
854
00:40:49,799 --> 00:40:54,000
It is a bit of a crackerjack of a day.
I'm, er... I'm pretty pleased.
855
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,160
Don't like making big mistakes.
That was a big mistake.
856
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,600
They asked for
a pineapple upside-down cake
857
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,319
and I gave them a pineapple fritter,
didn't I, really?
858
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,520
[Matt] There's one
cake challenge remaining
859
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,640
before we crown
this year's first Star Baker,
860
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,200
and reveal who will be leaving the tent.
861
00:41:17,279 --> 00:41:18,759
We're filming in a bubble.
862
00:41:18,839 --> 00:41:21,359
I tell you what,
I'm quite anxious about being locked up
863
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,040
-for weeks on end with you three guys.
-[laughs]
864
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,600
There's not a grown-up among you.
865
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,359
I was looking forward
to spending time with you, Prue.
866
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,120
-You really were?
-Yeah.
867
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,279
I love how you two pretend
we don't all live together in real life.
868
00:41:34,359 --> 00:41:35,839
[laughing]
869
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,000
[Paul] We've got
some real talent in the tent.
870
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Sura was a deserving winner
in the technical.
871
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,720
You got Pete, Hermine. I think
she's in line for Star Baker as well.
872
00:41:43,799 --> 00:41:45,480
So who do you think is in the bottom?
873
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,160
[Paul] I think Loriea.
She had that bubble gum idea.
874
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:51,040
I think Marc E and certainly, Linda.
875
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,240
There's a lot in the middle
that could go either way.
876
00:41:53,319 --> 00:41:55,680
It's very tough, isn't it?
Somebody's gone through lockdown,
877
00:41:55,759 --> 00:41:58,520
and they've come here,
and they've quarantined,
878
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,920
and they're just in the competition
for two days.
879
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,759
I think that's always the worst,
is to go home right at the beginning.
880
00:42:04,839 --> 00:42:07,880
We'll have one big camera,
they'll just walk off into the distance,
881
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,040
socially distancing,
with that music from The Hulk at the end.
882
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,160
-[Paul] Yeah.
-[both vocalising]
883
00:42:20,759 --> 00:42:22,319
Bakers, welcome back.
884
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,040
And I hope you're ready for
your very first showstopper challenge.
885
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,520
Paul and Prue would like you
to make a cake bust
886
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,279
depicting your personal celebrity hero.
887
00:42:32,359 --> 00:42:35,279
Your 3D cake bust must have a head.
888
00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:37,600
And it must be made... [laughs]
889
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,400
[Matt laughing]
890
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,200
And it must be made mainly from cake.
891
00:42:42,279 --> 00:42:44,880
Although you can use
some other edible details.
892
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Okay, you've got four hours.
On your marks.
893
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,560
-Get set...
-[in deep voice] Bake.
894
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,600
-Right, let's go.
-[exhales] Okay.
895
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:57,279
Roll my sleeves up.
I am petrified, but this showstopper,
896
00:42:57,359 --> 00:42:59,560
it's just got so many things happening.
897
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,920
It's given me quite a few
sleepless nights, this one.
898
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,480
To make a cake bust,
head and shoulders of a person,
899
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,560
we're asking them to be engineers,
decorators and bakers.
900
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,759
The big risk with a challenge like this
901
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:16,640
is ending up with too much icing,
too much buttercream,
902
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,279
which will be too heavy,
make it too sweet,
903
00:43:19,359 --> 00:43:21,120
even if it makes it look fantastic.
904
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,720
For me, the secret with this challenge is
905
00:43:23,799 --> 00:43:26,839
the structure they're gonna use
to put the cake onto.
906
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,200
If there's no proper structure,
907
00:43:28,279 --> 00:43:30,240
or if they don't bake
the sponges correctly,
908
00:43:30,319 --> 00:43:31,400
it will collapse.
909
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,759
-[Paul] Hello.
-[Marc] Hi, Prue.
910
00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:34,680
-Hello.
-Hi, Matt.
911
00:43:34,759 --> 00:43:36,960
Tell us about your bust.
What are you gonna be doing?
912
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,920
I'm doing David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust.
913
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:39,879
Perfect.
914
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,799
Ziggy Stardust is going to be
instantly recognisable
915
00:43:42,879 --> 00:43:44,879
-just because of the colours.
-Yeah.
916
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,799
[Matt] A fondant lightning strike
will decorate Marc's chocolate sponge
917
00:43:48,879 --> 00:43:52,040
and vanilla buttercream reimagining
of the Thin White Duke.
918
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,440
[Prue] One of the wonderful things
about David Bowie
919
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,759
-is the shape of his face.
-Well, this is it.
920
00:43:56,839 --> 00:43:59,839
-It's so beautiful and so slim.
-His face is quite slender.
921
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,440
First time I made it, it looked
more like Desperate Dan.
922
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,960
[Noel] And Bowie will be joined on stage
by another musical legend.
923
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,839
My hero is Bob Marley.
924
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,440
I just love his ethos,
not to worry about stuff.
925
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,680
Been singing it all morning.
926
00:44:13,759 --> 00:44:15,520
[Matt] After a difficult first day,
927
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,400
Linda's hoping
her lemon and orange sponge Bob
928
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,120
will be her "Redemption Song",
929
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,200
filled with lemon and orange curds
and a coconut rum mascarpone cream.
930
00:44:24,279 --> 00:44:26,240
Is the alcohol there for Prue?
931
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,520
Well, I thought it might cheer Paul up.
932
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,839
[laughing] Nothing cheers Paul up.
933
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,759
How much booze you got in there?
A couple bottles?
934
00:44:34,839 --> 00:44:37,560
-A bottle and a half.
-Really? No.
935
00:44:38,319 --> 00:44:41,600
And if that doesn't get
the backstage party started...
936
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,440
♪ Hey, oh! ♪
937
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,480
♪ Hey-ey-ey, oh ♪
938
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,799
I love Freddie Mercury.
You're a big Queen fan?
939
00:44:48,879 --> 00:44:49,720
Yeah.
940
00:44:49,799 --> 00:44:52,440
[Noel] Laura's lemon and elderflower
Freddie Mercury
941
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,560
will take to the stage
in a highly-detailed fondant icing replica
942
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,560
of his iconic yellow jacket.
943
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,920
[Matt] You've practised this?
944
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,400
Last time I did it, the head exploded
and it went in the bin.
945
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,400
Right.
946
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,680
-Yeah.
-Cut.
947
00:45:04,759 --> 00:45:07,040
-[sneezes]
-Bless you.
948
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,160
Too much chilli.
949
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:09,839
[Prue] Hello, Loriea.
950
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,720
Right, Loriea, who you gonna be doing
for your bust?
951
00:45:12,799 --> 00:45:15,680
I will be doing
Miss Louise Bennett-Coverley.
952
00:45:15,759 --> 00:45:17,759
She's a Jamaican poet.
953
00:45:17,839 --> 00:45:22,799
And she's got a poem about identity,
and I've got a mismatch of accents,
954
00:45:22,879 --> 00:45:24,520
which I think works well for this.
955
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,000
[Matt] Loriea will celebrate
her Durham and Jamaican roots
956
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,160
with a chocolate sponge,
957
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:32,640
with Scotch bonnet chilli
and spiced ginger and mango jam.
958
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,120
I have practised this multiple times.
959
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,240
-[Prue chuckles]
-And my first attempt,
960
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:40,200
it looked like I created Dobby.
961
00:45:40,279 --> 00:45:41,960
-[laughs]
-[Loriea] So you will get
962
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,480
hopefully a better version
of something like that.
963
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,560
-Hi.
-Hello. I hear you're doing David.
964
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,720
-Yeah.
-'Cause you pushed his cakes over?
965
00:45:48,799 --> 00:45:50,879
-[Sura] No!
-[Noel] Sorry, I got mixed up.
966
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,600
-Who are you doing?
-Sir David Attenborough.
967
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,759
-What a ledge.
-He is a ledge.
968
00:45:55,839 --> 00:45:57,160
-[Noel] Love him?
-So much.
969
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:58,720
-[Noel] Ever met him?
-No.
970
00:45:58,799 --> 00:46:00,839
-Of course I've not--
-He's coming today.
971
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,000
-Of course he's not.
-I texted him.
972
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,960
-Oh, sure.
-Said, "Sura needs you".
973
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,120
I do need him. I need a life model.
974
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,600
[Matt] Sir David will be
flavoured with coconut
975
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,720
and layered with
raspberry Italian meringue buttercream.
976
00:46:12,799 --> 00:46:16,440
People won't mind if you get it wrong,
but the animal kingdom will be furious.
977
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,200
-Well, we can't have that.
-There'll be voles, gerbils...
978
00:46:20,279 --> 00:46:24,279
-[laughing] Coming for me?
-...marmosets coming for you. [laughs]
979
00:46:24,359 --> 00:46:26,080
-The odd pigeon.
-[Sura laughing]
980
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,680
-Good luck.
-[Sura] Stop it!
981
00:46:27,759 --> 00:46:30,600
[Matt] But Sura's Sir David
will have a rival.
982
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,080
Well, I'm doing
a cake bust of Charles Darwin.
983
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,480
-Uh-huh.
-[Mark] Studied zoology at university.
984
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,080
I thought the Bake Off tent is
a bit like the survival of the fittest.
985
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,560
-So...
-[all laughing]
986
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,240
[Noel] Mark will carve a spiced
ginger sponge of coconut buttercream
987
00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:48,200
into a simple stone-style bust
of the pioneering naturalist.
988
00:46:48,279 --> 00:46:50,720
[Mark] I'm not a really decorative baker.
989
00:46:50,799 --> 00:46:53,200
I like the idea
of doing someone who's not alive,
990
00:46:53,279 --> 00:46:55,920
so I can't offend them. [laughing]
991
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,600
[Matt] Whilst Lottie's
chosen hero is very much alive,
992
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,560
it doesn't look like it at the moment.
993
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,040
[Lottie] I have a skull mould
which I'm just gonna build on top of.
994
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,600
Because that's what's
underneath someone's head.
995
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,600
[Noel] Lottie's coconut and lime skull
996
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,680
will be transformed into
a spectacle bust of Louis Theroux.
997
00:47:14,759 --> 00:47:16,560
-[Paul] He was on last year.
-Yeah.
998
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,240
So, with Louis having been on the show,
you two will know how he tastes.
999
00:47:20,319 --> 00:47:23,040
Yeah. He tastes a little bit coconut-y.
1000
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,520
-I think it sounds delicious.
-Thank you.
1001
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:26,920
I hope so.
1002
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,920
[singsong] Please cook
and be nice, and don't be shit.
1003
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,279
[Matt] Building a bust
out of cake and several sponges...
1004
00:47:33,359 --> 00:47:35,080
More sponges than a Turkish bath.
1005
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,240
-[Matt] ...of varying sizes and shapes...
-[Linda] They're in.
1006
00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:41,240
[Matt] ...is creating a time-management
nightmare for the bakers.
1007
00:47:41,319 --> 00:47:45,279
Got two timers on the go,
one for the oven and one for... my task.
1008
00:47:45,359 --> 00:47:47,040
It's very complicated, isn't it?
1009
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,560
[Matt] Rowan's hero demands something
even more elaborate than multiple sponges.
1010
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,279
I am making Queen Marie Antoinette.
1011
00:47:54,359 --> 00:47:55,200
Oh.
1012
00:47:55,279 --> 00:47:58,640
[Rowan] It'll be a chocolate cake
with kirsch-soaked cherries.
1013
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:01,720
And I'm making choux buns
to make Her Majesty's hairdo.
1014
00:48:01,799 --> 00:48:04,879
[Noel] Whilst her choux hairdo
might prove complicated,
1015
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,240
things should be simpler
with Marie Antoinette's face.
1016
00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:10,080
[Paul] Good idea
with the mask in the mould.
1017
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,440
That'll give you an instant image,
so you've got something to work from.
1018
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,839
-I hope to do it justice.
-[Paul] Absolutely. Thanks.
1019
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:16,960
Good luck.
1020
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,960
I'm just laughing to myself.
We must be completely mad. [chuckles]
1021
00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:25,000
It's a massive dash
against the clock. [laughing]
1022
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,279
Completely bonkers.
1023
00:48:27,799 --> 00:48:29,720
Who in their right mind? [chuckles]
1024
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,279
[Noel] I fancy a cup of tea
and I don't know why.
1025
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:35,440
-Really?
-Yeah, I don't know why.
1026
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,120
Bakers, you are halfway through!
1027
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,720
I just have so much to do,
1028
00:48:39,799 --> 00:48:42,839
I'm just really aware of
so many different multiple elements.
1029
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,080
Next, I've got to make
coffee mascarpone cream
1030
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,680
to go between the slices.
1031
00:48:47,759 --> 00:48:50,720
[Noel] As well as helping
to hold their busts together...
1032
00:48:50,799 --> 00:48:54,279
[Sura] So, I'm going with
raspberry Italian meringue buttercream.
1033
00:48:54,359 --> 00:48:58,480
[Noel] ...the bakers' fillings are another
chance to deliver showstopping flavours.
1034
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,359
This is my lemon
and elderflower mascarpone cream filling.
1035
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,720
I'm not having them say
that my cake is bland.
1036
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:11,080
[Loriea] This is ginger and mango jam.
I'm using a lot of ginger.
1037
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,319
[Matt] But Peter is taking
a more subtle approach.
1038
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,440
[Peter] Between the cakes, I'm just
gonna have a nice simple strawberry jam
1039
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,879
and some whipped double cream.
Er, it's a family favourite.
1040
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,920
[Noel] The simple theme will continue
1041
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,480
between Peter's
Victoria sandwich rendition
1042
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,120
of his cycling hero, Sir Chris Hoy,
sporting fondant goggles and helmet.
1043
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,160
Clever way of getting around doing hair.
1044
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:34,640
-Precisely why I wanted to do it.
-[Prue] And goggles.
1045
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:36,720
-[Peter] Yes.
-So, no eyes.
1046
00:49:36,799 --> 00:49:40,640
I'm not great at sculpture
and art, erm, so I thought I'd go
1047
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:43,520
more simple and try
and get something that presents well.
1048
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,520
-Good luck, Peter.
-Thanks very much.
1049
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,160
Right, are you ready?
1050
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,440
I think that is, like, just cooked.
1051
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,160
[Linda] Yeah. Sorted.
1052
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,799
-He's got a lot of sponge.
-[Lottie] Hmm?
1053
00:49:56,879 --> 00:49:58,520
-Got a lot of sponge.
-[Lottie] I know.
1054
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,879
[Matt] The sponges
might be out of the oven...
1055
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,480
[Mak] This bit is so stressful.
It's so hot.
1056
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:04,960
These are hot cakes.
1057
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,640
[Matt] ...but until
they're cool enough to carve...
1058
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:09,759
Pop them in the fridge
'cause I can't do anything
1059
00:50:09,839 --> 00:50:11,279
because they are still very warm.
1060
00:50:11,359 --> 00:50:13,400
[Matt] ...assembly will have to wait.
1061
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,080
[Mark] Oh, no! Just lost a sponge.
[clicks tongue]
1062
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,520
[groans softly] Damn it!
Just dropped a sponge.
1063
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,759
It's fixable, I think.
1064
00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:26,000
I can use it for the top,
so it's all right.
1065
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,640
Think I'm doing okay for time.
1066
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:30,080
I'm trying to roll out
as much fondant as I can
1067
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:31,759
before the cakes come out the freezer.
1068
00:50:31,839 --> 00:50:35,120
[Matt] Using fondant
will allow the bakers to craft the skin,
1069
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,120
hair, and clothing that will
hopefully bring their heroes to life.
1070
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,200
So, I'm making beads for her necklace.
1071
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,120
-[Noel] Is this Prince Charles?
-[Dave] No.
1072
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,560
Shall I just keep guessing?
1073
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,279
-Meant to be Tom DeLonge.
-Farrah Fawcett?
1074
00:50:49,359 --> 00:50:50,520
-Who?
-Tom DeLonge.
1075
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,160
-Blink-182.
-[Noel] I know who they are, yeah.
1076
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:55,799
Are you a fan of that type of music, Noel?
1077
00:50:56,319 --> 00:50:57,759
Er... yeah.
1078
00:50:57,839 --> 00:50:58,680
-[mouths]
-No.
1079
00:50:58,759 --> 00:50:59,600
[Dave laughs]
1080
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,839
[Noel] Fondant ears and
a highly detailed fondant face and cap
1081
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,440
will cover a strawberry,
chocolate and mint homage
1082
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,640
to Dave's favourite punk icon.
1083
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,160
Do you know what music Matt likes?
1084
00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:14,040
When I first met Matt,
he was listening to Roger Whittaker.
1085
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,480
Mmm-hmm. Actually true.
1086
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:16,920
-[Dave] I don't...
-[Noel laughs]
1087
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,200
I love Roger Whittaker. Do you like him?
1088
00:51:19,279 --> 00:51:20,480
-No, weirdly.
-Why not?
1089
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,480
[both laughing]
1090
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,279
-I like Black Sabbath.
-Oh...
1091
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,319
[Hermine] I'm just using
the pasta roller to roll my dress.
1092
00:51:28,399 --> 00:51:30,799
-Wow.
-I'm doing Lupita Nyong'o.
1093
00:51:30,879 --> 00:51:32,720
-She's a Hollywood actress.
-Yes.
1094
00:51:32,799 --> 00:51:34,480
-Black Panther.
-[Hermine] Yes!
1095
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,240
-Yes.
-[Prue] Very beautiful girl.
1096
00:51:36,319 --> 00:51:40,440
She is.
I hope, er, I could replicate that.
1097
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,440
[Noel] Hermine is aiming
to capture Lupita's beauty
1098
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,040
by decorating her chocolate
and coffee sponges with fondant fabric
1099
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,480
and very lifelike facial features.
1100
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:54,080
[Hermine] I'm gonna make
ice-mould eyes to give it a real eye look.
1101
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,600
I hope it will look impressive. [chuckles]
1102
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,080
[Matt] Also keen to do his hero justice...
1103
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,480
Two eyeballs.
1104
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,560
Some cheeky things.
1105
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:03,759
[Matt] ...is Mak.
1106
00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:08,000
[Mak] My hero is Bill Bryson.
He's an author I've admired for decades.
1107
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,720
Been studying his face so much.
1108
00:52:09,799 --> 00:52:13,720
[chuckles] Honestly, I just know
every wrinkle, every nook and cranny.
1109
00:52:13,799 --> 00:52:15,560
[Matt] His lemon Madeira sponges
1110
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,720
will form the base
for his anatomically thought-out bust,
1111
00:52:18,799 --> 00:52:23,120
and to recreate Bill's flowing locks,
he has a special tool to hand.
1112
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,879
[Mak] It's a press for making Bombay mix,
1113
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,560
and what I'm trying to do
is create strands of hair.
1114
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,759
Very nice. Can you make me some, please?
1115
00:52:30,839 --> 00:52:34,440
-Just come over here and I'll just...
-Yeah. Yes, please. Yes, thank you.
1116
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,240
[Noel] But things aren't going
quite so well at Rowan's hair salon.
1117
00:52:38,759 --> 00:52:41,319
[Rowan] Oh, come on, choux buns. Why?
1118
00:52:41,839 --> 00:52:43,920
Hoping that it'll rise. We'll see.
1119
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,920
Bakers, you have one hour remaining.
1120
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,200
[groaning]
1121
00:52:50,279 --> 00:52:52,720
-Have you seen my rolling pin?
-No, not anywhere.
1122
00:52:52,799 --> 00:52:54,440
[both laughing]
1123
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,080
I'm going for the assembly.
1124
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,279
I'm dreading this bit because it's...
[clicks tongue, shudders]
1125
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,399
[Matt] With their sponges cooled,
the build can begin.
1126
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,480
I'm not running any risk
of anything slipping off the mat.
1127
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,839
Feeling nervous about time
'cause these need to be really frozen,
1128
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,000
but I think they're cool enough to carve.
1129
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:13,600
[Marc] Here we go.
1130
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,759
[Noel] Stacking layers
of delicate sponge and creamy fillings
1131
00:53:17,839 --> 00:53:19,759
is a precarious task.
1132
00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:22,920
Looks a bit like I'm performing
some awful medieval torture,
1133
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,200
but it is a necessity,
and I'm sure Louis would understand.
1134
00:53:26,759 --> 00:53:29,240
Well, I've got some choux,
very flat choux.
1135
00:53:29,319 --> 00:53:31,319
Only a matter
of whether it's worth using or not.
1136
00:53:31,399 --> 00:53:33,839
Don't wanna be criticised
for it when it's not necessary,
1137
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,279
so I'll just, I'll wing it as usual.
1138
00:53:36,359 --> 00:53:38,040
[Matt] As the busts get taller...
1139
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,120
[Dave] The head's starting
to droop forward.
1140
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,399
[Matt] ...and heavier,
the strain on the sponges...
1141
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:44,799
[Marc] It's all cracking.
1142
00:53:44,879 --> 00:53:46,440
[Matt] ...starts to take its toll.
1143
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,480
[Laura] This is gonna collapse,
I think. [sighs]
1144
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,520
Ooh, there's a wobble.
1145
00:53:52,399 --> 00:53:53,600
No!
1146
00:53:54,799 --> 00:53:55,920
Oh, this is stressful.
1147
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,040
Some of Freddie Mercury's
head is not there.
1148
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,160
That ain't meant to be happening, is it?
1149
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,399
Oh, flipping heck.
1150
00:54:05,879 --> 00:54:10,080
Bakers, you have 30 minutes left!
1151
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,680
Surprising how
the time just flies, doesn't it?
1152
00:54:13,279 --> 00:54:14,560
When you're having fun.
1153
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,279
Who just said they're having fun?
1154
00:54:16,359 --> 00:54:18,240
Okay, I'm just gonna have to go for it.
1155
00:54:18,319 --> 00:54:20,000
[Lottie] Have you ever been this stressed?
1156
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,240
[Laura] I've never
been this stressed, mate.
1157
00:54:22,319 --> 00:54:25,000
-[Matt] As the fondant goes on...
-[Mak] Speak to me, Mr. Bryson.
1158
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,200
[Matt] ...engineering
makes way for artistry.
1159
00:54:28,279 --> 00:54:30,480
[Mark] Doing this
to your heroes is horrendous.
1160
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,600
[Dave] Mine doesn't look
like him, it's scary.
1161
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,160
[Marc] It's so stressful, Paul.
1162
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,200
Why did I get into this competition?
1163
00:54:37,279 --> 00:54:39,040
-You chose to come here.
-[Marc] I know.
1164
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:40,600
[Paul and Marc laughing]
1165
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,359
What the hell is that?
1166
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,040
[Noel] It's like a death mask.
Is it a grim reaper?
1167
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,160
Erm, it's supposed to be Louis Theroux.
1168
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:50,040
-[laughing]
-Rude!
1169
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,839
-[Noel] Have you seen Louis Theroux?
-[both laughing]
1170
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,359
[Peter] I have faith he's gonna stand up.
1171
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,960
[Laura] He's got
the shortest head in the world.
1172
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:58,879
[sighs]
1173
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,399
Embarrassing. Making boobs on national TV.
1174
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,839
I don't know
if I've ever fancied a cake before,
1175
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,600
but I slightly do now.
1176
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,240
[both laughing]
1177
00:55:08,319 --> 00:55:10,960
[Rowan] We've decided
to go for rice paper.
1178
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,879
Given the disaster with the choux buns,
erm, this seems like the best option.
1179
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,640
Bakers, ten minutes left.
1180
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:18,000
[sighs] It's not enough.
1181
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,319
It's all gone wrong.
1182
00:55:22,359 --> 00:55:26,040
[Loriea] Kind of a lot like
a bandana I'm trying to put on there,
1183
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,560
but it never seems to
work as well as I need it to.
1184
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,480
[Lottie] Gonna quickly paint his eyes in.
1185
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,120
[Sura] Oh, man,
he looks absolutely knackered. Poor David.
1186
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,799
I like detail, it's calming.
1187
00:55:38,879 --> 00:55:42,960
Time factor-wise, I think it's just gonna
have to be kind of silhouette-y, really.
1188
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,960
-[Laura] I can't do it.
-[Sura] You can.
1189
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,600
-[Laura] I can't put the head on.
-[Sura] I'll help.
1190
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,560
[Laura] I'm too scared to put the head on.
1191
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,120
Bakers, you have one minute left.
1192
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,279
-Do it.
-Oh!
1193
00:55:55,359 --> 00:55:57,080
-Just put it on.
-Jesus Christ.
1194
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,520
[Laura] Come on, Freddie,
please stay together.
1195
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,359
[Lottie] Louis, please don't hate me
when you see this.
1196
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Rowan, can I be of any assistance
for the last bit?
1197
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:06,839
I'm kind of there, thank you.
1198
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,480
I'll just do a bit more
pinning of these things.
1199
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,680
-[Laura] This needs to sit on top.
-[Sura] It's not going on top.
1200
00:56:12,759 --> 00:56:14,359
-Oh!
-You've put the wrong bit in.
1201
00:56:14,879 --> 00:56:18,319
-[Mak] Just need glasses on him.
-Long as that holds up for a little bit.
1202
00:56:18,399 --> 00:56:21,600
[Laura] Oh, no, Freddie. [chuckling]
1203
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,000
[Lottie] Gotta laugh,
he's got a bloody hunchback.
1204
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,279
[Laura] Quick.
1205
00:56:25,359 --> 00:56:27,120
-No...
-[Laura] It's too big.
1206
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,080
This bit, this bit. Go, go, go.
1207
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,960
-It's gonna pierce through his head--
-I don't care.
1208
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,640
Bakers, your time is up.
1209
00:56:37,319 --> 00:56:39,120
Thank you so much for your help.
1210
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,080
Step away from your cake busts.
1211
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,160
It wasn't quite what I had planned.
But you know, what is?
1212
00:56:45,799 --> 00:56:46,799
[Laura] I'm going home.
1213
00:56:46,879 --> 00:56:49,319
-[Sura] No, you're not.
-[Laura] I am.
1214
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,160
-That was hard.
-[chuckles] Tell me about it.
1215
00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:56,279
-[Laura] Oh, God, yours is about to fall.
-[Rowan] No!
1216
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:00,960
[Sura] I never run.
1217
00:57:03,759 --> 00:57:05,200
[indistinct chatter]
1218
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:11,120
Sura, get something flat.
It's not in balance. It'll fall again.
1219
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,000
[Linda] That's it. Something heavy.
1220
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:14,480
Stand it up the back.
1221
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:15,759
That's it.
1222
00:57:15,839 --> 00:57:18,680
I had to put, like, a...
The piping bags behind him.
1223
00:57:18,759 --> 00:57:20,680
So, it looks like a travel cushion.
1224
00:57:21,399 --> 00:57:24,120
[Matt] It's okay. They said
you can use inedible supports.
1225
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,240
[laughs]
1226
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,040
[Noel] It's judgement time
for the 12 cake busts.
1227
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,960
Rowan, would you like
to bring up your showstopper?
1228
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,640
The choux buns were a bit
of a disaster, so I had to improvise.
1229
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:44,960
[Paul] There's a pattern here.
1230
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,640
'Cause you promised us almost
a Parthenon yesterday, we didn't get.
1231
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,240
-Promised us choux buns, we haven't got.
-No.
1232
00:57:51,319 --> 00:57:52,919
Say less and then do more.
1233
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,319
-Yes.
-[Paul] Having said that,
1234
00:57:54,399 --> 00:57:55,919
you instantly recognise who it is.
1235
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,200
I think it's absolutely brilliant.
1236
00:57:58,279 --> 00:58:00,000
-[Rowan] Thank you.
-I hope she tastes nice.
1237
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,240
Well, so do I.
1238
00:58:01,319 --> 00:58:03,160
-Gonna go through her cheek.
-Yeah.
1239
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,560
No.
1240
00:58:05,359 --> 00:58:06,200
Oh, you brute.
1241
00:58:06,279 --> 00:58:07,319
[chuckles]
1242
00:58:07,399 --> 00:58:12,399
[Rowan] It's a chocolate cake
with kirsch-soaked cherries.
1243
00:58:13,879 --> 00:58:16,919
Mmm! Cherry flavour's lovely.
1244
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,440
Would've been nice to have the choux buns,
but overall I think you made a tasty cake.
1245
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,319
-Thank you.
-[Prue] Well done, Rowan.
1246
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,040
[Prue] Well, I have to say,
he is recognisable.
1247
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,399
-Definitely.
-Thank you.
1248
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,759
That sort of slightly
anxious look is very Louis Theroux.
1249
00:58:31,839 --> 00:58:35,960
It is a coconut and lime sponge
with a chocolate orange buttercream.
1250
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,000
[Paul] You get all the flavours,
the orange, lime, coconut.
1251
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,759
But it's over-baked, bone dry.
1252
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,799
[Prue] It's obviously Bill Bryson.
1253
00:58:46,879 --> 00:58:48,640
It's good. I love the detail on it.
1254
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,080
-Thank you.
-[Prue] And what's inside it?
1255
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560
It's a lemon Madeira with red currant jam.
1256
00:58:55,839 --> 00:58:59,960
-Lovely flavour, but it's very dry.
-[Paul] And that's a real shame.
1257
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,480
I'd like to have seen a mouth on it.
1258
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,799
'Cause Marley was known for his voice
and he hasn't got a mouth.
1259
00:59:07,879 --> 00:59:09,879
-[all laugh]
-I know.
1260
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,200
-I think it's delicious.
-[Prue] It is.
1261
00:59:15,279 --> 00:59:17,520
[Paul] It's got all elements
of a good sponge.
1262
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,080
You can't go wrong
with citrus flavours and a lemon curd.
1263
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,359
It's very dramatic.
He's got wonderful athlete's shoulders.
1264
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,279
He really looks as if he's puffing.
And I love the helmet.
1265
00:59:33,359 --> 00:59:35,040
[Paul] It's clever, and a good get out,
1266
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:39,200
because, wearing a helmet
and a mask, you know who it is.
1267
00:59:39,279 --> 00:59:42,200
I mean, Sir Chris has got
many, many Olympic medals.
1268
00:59:42,279 --> 00:59:43,759
That's what he wore when he did it.
1269
00:59:43,839 --> 00:59:45,080
-It's excellent.
-Let me just...
1270
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,000
Sorry, Chris.
1271
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,919
[Prue] I was worried about this.
I thought Victoria sandwich
1272
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,799
and fresh cream is all
quite light and easily squashed,
1273
00:59:51,879 --> 00:59:53,680
and you'd end up with a pudding inside.
1274
00:59:53,759 --> 00:59:56,040
But you haven't. It looks lovely.
1275
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,640
The Italian meringue
buttercream is delicious.
1276
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,200
The strawberries,
the cream, the sponge is spot on.
1277
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,120
It feels really fresh. Light.
1278
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,200
It's delicious. The concept is great.
1279
01:00:09,279 --> 01:00:10,520
And it's witty.
1280
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,359
-[Prue and Paul] Well done, Peter.
-Thank you so much.
1281
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,440
[Prue] I think it's like a caricature.
So it's really good.
1282
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,120
-[Dave] Thank you.
-[Prue] Would you tell us what's inside?
1283
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,359
Mint and strawberry
with a cocoa buttercream.
1284
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,319
Bit toothpaste-y.
1285
01:00:29,399 --> 01:00:31,040
The mint is so strong.
1286
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,640
And it has that very chemical taste.
1287
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:34,600
[Paul] It's a shame.
1288
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,600
Let yourself down
on the texture and flavour.
1289
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:37,680
Yeah, okay.
1290
01:00:41,359 --> 01:00:46,080
Erm, that's about as far away
from David Bowie as you could get.
1291
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,960
-I'd agree with you.
-[Prue] Yes, he's lost his neck.
1292
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,399
Yeah, more Jabba the Hutt.
1293
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,160
[judges laugh]
1294
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,720
[Marc] It's a chocolate sponge
with vanilla buttercream.
1295
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,680
[Prue] It's quite dense.
1296
01:01:00,759 --> 01:01:02,000
[Paul] Slightly over-baked.
1297
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,120
Okay.
1298
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,040
-But it's a great flavour. Good effort.
-Thank you.
1299
01:01:09,759 --> 01:01:12,080
The fact that you put "Guess who?" on this
1300
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,040
must mean
you don't think it looks like her.
1301
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,080
-That's right.
-[Prue chuckles]
1302
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,040
Your work with the fondant
is absolutely exquisite.
1303
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:20,600
[Paul] I thought it was real.
1304
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,240
[Prue] So let's hope
it's as good inside as it is outside.
1305
01:01:23,319 --> 01:01:24,399
I hope so.
1306
01:01:26,759 --> 01:01:27,839
It's really lovely.
1307
01:01:27,919 --> 01:01:30,919
It's such a rich chocolate cake.
It's delicious.
1308
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,520
I'll sit down
and have a slice of that anytime.
1309
01:01:35,919 --> 01:01:37,440
[Paul] You can see who it is.
1310
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,399
-[Prue] It looks great.
-[Mark] Thank you.
1311
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,240
It is a ginger spice sponge
with a coconut buttercream.
1312
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,839
Lovely, very good flavour.
1313
01:01:48,919 --> 01:01:51,399
[Paul] It's nice to see
you haven't overdone it with spices.
1314
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,040
You've got spices you can identify.
1315
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,279
But it marries beautifully
with the ginger.
1316
01:01:55,359 --> 01:01:56,680
It's a well-baked cake.
1317
01:01:56,759 --> 01:01:58,240
-[Prue] Well done.
-Thank you.
1318
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,319
We've got a picture
of her in front of us now.
1319
01:02:03,399 --> 01:02:05,399
Head scarf, tick.
1320
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,399
[Prue and Paul] Necklace, tick.
1321
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,359
-Resemblance to her, doesn't exist.
-Resemblance, not so much.
1322
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,440
[Paul chuckles]
1323
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:17,600
Erm, it has got a chilli chocolate sponge
flavoured with Scotch bonnet chilli powder
1324
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,879
and ginger and mango jam.
1325
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,200
Chilli's a bit overwhelming.
1326
01:02:24,279 --> 01:02:26,879
[Prue] I agree
that you could lower chilli a little.
1327
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,240
-Wow.
-[Matt chuckles]
1328
01:02:28,319 --> 01:02:29,440
It's coming in waves.
1329
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,560
But when you've got
a wave of ginger as well,
1330
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,279
it's really, really strong.
1331
01:02:34,359 --> 01:02:37,680
Now, this is lining up
with what happened yesterday, as well.
1332
01:02:37,759 --> 01:02:39,399
Consistency is the word.
1333
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,600
You are consistent. Absolutely.
1334
01:02:47,879 --> 01:02:49,399
He's reclining.
1335
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,000
He's having a nap.
1336
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,080
[Matt chuckles]
1337
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,000
[Paul] Very neat on the shirt,
very neat on the face.
1338
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,080
Well, you can see who it is.
Let's have a look, shall we?
1339
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,359
Gosh, that looks really tender.
1340
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,720
[Sura] It is a coconut sponge
1341
01:03:03,799 --> 01:03:06,640
with a raspberry
Italian meringue buttercream.
1342
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,160
[Prue] I like the flavour.
1343
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,480
[Paul] It's not dry, which is good.
It's nice and moist.
1344
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,560
Overall, you've done
something that looks like him.
1345
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,960
It's quite smart, it's neat.
You've done a good job.
1346
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,080
Thank you.
1347
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,200
[chuckles] Sorry.
1348
01:03:26,279 --> 01:03:28,879
[chuckles] You're not supposed to laugh.
1349
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,720
It was all going really well.
His jacket looked great and everything.
1350
01:03:32,799 --> 01:03:34,799
And then the head exploded.
1351
01:03:34,879 --> 01:03:38,399
I think, erm, but, I'm hoping
that the flavours will redeem.
1352
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,799
-[Paul] What are they?
-[Laura] Lemon and elderflower.
1353
01:03:40,879 --> 01:03:43,120
I do think his jacket is lovely.
1354
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,080
-[Laura] Thank you.
-[Paul] Yeah.
1355
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,439
Mmm, that is delicious.
1356
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,000
Thank you!
1357
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:55,399
I think one of the reasons it squashed
so easily is it is very moist.
1358
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,279
-[Paul] Hmm.
-[Laura] Do you like it?
1359
01:03:57,359 --> 01:03:59,759
-[Paul] Erm...
-Oh, go on, say you like it.
1360
01:03:59,839 --> 01:04:01,160
-Actually, I love it, yeah.
-Yes!
1361
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,520
[Paul] The flavour's good.
The elderflower's there.
1362
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,080
It looks the way it does,
but it tastes really nice.
1363
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,919
And you can identify who it is.
1364
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:08,879
Thank you.
1365
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,240
-[Matt and Noel] Well done.
-What a relief.
1366
01:04:11,319 --> 01:04:12,399
Come on, Fred.
1367
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,600
-Let's go.
-[all laugh]
1368
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,839
-Well done.
-Thank you.
1369
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,839
My biggest fear today
was that they'd say the cake was bland.
1370
01:04:26,919 --> 01:04:30,759
'Cause then I knew I was going home.
I think I've hopefully pulled it back.
1371
01:04:31,759 --> 01:04:34,439
[Loriea] I baked it how I like it,
1372
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,560
so it's too late
to cross fingers and toes now.
1373
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,319
Kind of thought before that
came together today that that was it.
1374
01:04:40,399 --> 01:04:43,720
But, if it is, I'm going out on a high.
1375
01:04:43,799 --> 01:04:45,240
Nobody wants to be the first.
1376
01:04:45,319 --> 01:04:48,439
Coming on this show, I said
that I don't want to be the first.
1377
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,600
But maybe that was my challenge,
to accept being the first to go.
1378
01:04:58,359 --> 01:05:01,319
[Noel] Paul and Prue
have made their decision.
1379
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,799
Well, congratulations, bakers.
1380
01:05:05,879 --> 01:05:11,319
I have the rather pleasant job
of announcing this week's Star Baker.
1381
01:05:12,919 --> 01:05:15,160
And this week's star baker is...
1382
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,120
Peter!
1383
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,560
[all applaud]
1384
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,399
Go, Peter.
1385
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:35,480
Which means I've got the horrible job
of announcing which baker is leaving us.
1386
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,600
And the baker who's going home is...
1387
01:05:48,919 --> 01:05:50,839
Loriea. I'm sorry.
1388
01:05:50,919 --> 01:05:52,799
[all] Aww.
1389
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,120
-Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.
-[Loriea] It's fine.
1390
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:58,960
-[Linda] Bless you.
-[Loriea] Thank you.
1391
01:05:59,799 --> 01:06:02,279
It might have been nice
to stay a bit longer,
1392
01:06:02,359 --> 01:06:04,160
but someone has to go, so...
1393
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,359
-You did amazing, remember that.
-Thank you.
1394
01:06:10,439 --> 01:06:13,560
Yes, I am proud.
I did quite well to get here.
1395
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,720
And I stayed true to myself.
1396
01:06:16,439 --> 01:06:18,399
-[Paul] I'm so sorry.
-[Loriea] It's fine.
1397
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,560
It was really sad, 'cause
I could see a lot of talent in Loriea.
1398
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,080
And what was...
As a judge, I can't get involved.
1399
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,600
'Cause I wanted to tell her,
"Stop doing that".
1400
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,839
And it came down
to over-baking and over-flavouring.
1401
01:06:30,919 --> 01:06:33,040
[Marc] Can't believe
I'm through to next week.
1402
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,480
I was sat on that chair,
ready to stand up.
1403
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,160
Ah! [laughs]
1404
01:06:40,439 --> 01:06:42,160
Oh, my gosh.
1405
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:46,240
Aw, fantastic. I can't believe it,
I was like... [screams]
1406
01:06:46,319 --> 01:06:48,799
-Thank you.
-[Rowan] Well deserved.
1407
01:06:48,879 --> 01:06:52,279
I said I was putting
my money on you. [chuckles]
1408
01:06:52,359 --> 01:06:53,799
-[Peter] Hey.
-[woman] Hi, Peter.
1409
01:06:53,879 --> 01:06:55,839
Just wanted to give you a quick call.
1410
01:06:55,919 --> 01:06:59,640
Erm, so, week one
went pretty well. I got Star Baker.
1411
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,160
-[woman cheering over phone]
-[chuckles]
1412
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,480
[woman] Hurray! Well done!
1413
01:07:05,279 --> 01:07:08,640
Thank you, it was, erm, pretty insane.
1414
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:09,759
[chuckles]
1415
01:07:09,839 --> 01:07:11,839
[closing theme music playing]
