Sure. 302 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,160 In the middle part, we don't have enough, so we're going to use the left-over to like cover it up. 303 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,280 So we just need to make sure that we have enough sponge - 304 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,680 that's the main thing. 305 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Good luck, chefs.

Need to just really hurry up now. 313 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 But working with such delicate layers of joconde... 314 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,440 Is it going to slide off? No. Right. 315 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,240 Let's think about this. ..Is not something that can be rushed. 316 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,440 This is the most nerve-racking sponge layering I've done in my life. 317 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,200 Where we've soaked it earlier on, it's obviously become very sticky. 318 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,960 So we've had to slightly 319 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,600 cut it to fit the frame. 320 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,640 But I'm sure that the end result will still be 321 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,520 the portion sizes that Cherish wants. 322 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,880 I think we're a little bit behind because of the sponge. 323 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,680 We've got this. 324 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,880 Once the final thin layer of white chocolate glaze goes on... 325 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,200 Not a lot, not a lot, not a lot. Thin layer. 326 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,720 Have you put a bit of colouring in? A little bit. A little bit. We don't want it to be neon. 327 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,080 ..the operas can finally hit the freezers for 328 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400 the all-important setting stage. 329 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,200 So if we can split them down, 330 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,040 give them a bit of space like that. 331 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,080 It should circulate the air a little bit better. 332 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Just need to move a bit faster. 333 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,040 I just want to pour it, like, all on top. 334 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,400 I'm losing my patience. 335 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Chefs, you have 30 minutes left. 336 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,040 Just need to glaze it now. 337 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840 While Annie and Subin must wait for their glaze to set... 338 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,960 My operas are nearly ready to cut.

Here we go. 389 00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,880 Nicoletta and Georgina, from Meraki Baking Studio, 390 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,640 please come forward. 391 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,240 OK, chef, thank you for coming to the judging table. 392 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,360 36 opera aux fruit. 393 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,320 There is one or two there that look 394 00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,120 the way I will have pictured that dessert to be. 395 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,520 If you had only managed all 36 the same, I would have said you would have done a great job. 396 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,240 Your chocolate amenity. 397 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,040 I was so excited when you said about the radio. 398 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,760 I was like, "Saturday Night Fever, now." 399 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,920 But the execution - it could have been better. 400 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,240 Shall we? 401 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,680 Well, for me I enjoyed it. Very much. 402 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,280 Sponge - perfect texture. All the cremeux set. 403 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,920 What I really like is your glaze on the top. When I cut it through, 404 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,880 I have no effort - that is a good sign. 405 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,400 If only you would have 406 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,600 executed a little bit quicker, you would've smashed everything. 407 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,880 Thank you very much. Thank you. 408 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,480 Well, we've got, believe it or not, 36 opera slices. 409 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,240 Because I was far from believing 410 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080 that you could actually achieve that with the amount of sponge 411 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,480 you had earlier on. We can see there is a lot of hiccups here and there. 412 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,120 Opera is not being written on the cake. 413 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,960 And you can see over here it's slipping away. 414 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,040 That tells me that the cremeux is not properly cooked, as well. 415 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,800 Coming to the chocolate amenity - this is the bare minimum. 416 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,200 It's unfinished, it's a shame. 417 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,080 OK, let's see if it's actually tasting quite nice. 418 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,480 I think one thing that really bugged me is the oversoaking. 419 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800 Can you see it - all the syrup oozing out? 420 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,360 I'm lacking the texture of a beautiful opera slice. 421 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,400 Sorry, guys. 422 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,000 I wish you had a little bit of a colour in your glaze 423 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,360 in order to have a better contrast with the writing on it. 424 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,440 Well, looking at your chocolate amenity, 425 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560 I actually quite like it. It looks very ancient. 426 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,160 It is a beautiful piece. 427 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,920 The sponge is actually quite moist. It eats very nicely. 428 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,160 The glaze on top is too thick, but what I had, I enjoyed. 429 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,480 ALL: Thank you. 430 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,280 I can see that your slice is actually well set, 431 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,000 because they're all very perfectly cut. So well done for that. 432 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,040 There is also the little amenity. 433 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720 The overall presentation - I like the idea. 434 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,480 I wish there was a bigger rose here. 435 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,920 It kind of is compacted on itself. 436 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,240 The thickness of the glaze - the way it should be. 437 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,360 The sponge is beautifully done. 438 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,360 Good stuff. Is that what you say up there, no? 439 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,640 We'll take it. You'll take it? OK. 440 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,480 Nice one, chefs. Thank you. 441 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,280 When you were telling me about the Shard, 442 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,560 the London Eye, I get all so excited. 443 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,040 But it needed to have a little bit of a finesse. 444 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,800 The opera - the visual is not tidy. 445 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600 It's not neat enough for this level of the competition. 446 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,880 In terms of the flavour profile. I think we've got what we've asked 447 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,640 for. Now in terms of the texture - hm-hm. 448 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,760 The sponge was so thin, everything is soft in there. Thank you, guys. 449 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,760 Chef, it all go pear-shaped. Isn't it? Yeah. 450 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,680 I don't know where to start. It's all so wrong. 451 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,360 The definition is not there. 452 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,760 The layering is not there. 453 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,240 Now this is where I struggle, also. 454 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040 That little amenity, which is supposed to sing love, 455 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,400 love, love - it's not even neatly done. 456 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,520 This is weak, we are talking weak, at the minute. 457 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,400 Can I not taste it? No, you have to. 458 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,880 I'm afraid to say you have the worst opera. 459 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,080 That's all you need to know and it's a fact. 460 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,240 One bad day in the kitchen, we can survive. 461 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,720 Two... HE WHISTLES 462 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,840 ..make it difficult OK. Thank you, guys. 463 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,440 Thank you. See you later. 464 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,760 Thank you, chefs. 465 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,440 Wasn't our best effort. Yeah. Um... 466 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,040 By any stretch of the imagination. 467 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,440 We felt like the judging didn't go too bad. Overall. pretty well. Yeah. 468 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,480 Everything they said, basically, was something that I had in mind that 469 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,480 I did. So, yeah, lesson learned. 470 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Ahead of tomorrow's showpiece challenge, the teams have 471 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,320 a golden hour in which to make, cast and set any elements overnight. 472 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:24,600 So new series, new teams, new co-host. Hmm. What do you think you've learnt about the teams? 473 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,000 We know they all need to get a flipping move on. It's a competition. 474 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,840 We have to put them through their paces from the get-go. 475 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840 Actually, some teams have managed pretty close 476 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,880 to what we were expecting. Nicoletta and Georgina - 477 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,440 if it wasn't for the writing to be the same everywhere, they would have been really, really good. 478 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400 Andrew and Raf, I thought they were pretty good, as well. 479 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,320 They're very comfortable in the kitchen. 480 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:48,800 And then we have Annie and Subin. Soggy sponge. 481 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280 They just crumble with time management, as well. 482 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,240 And then we have Martyn and Jenny. 483 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,160 Oh, la la la la la. Well, shall we say, uh, 484 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,040 they've made their life very difficult ahead of tomorrow. 485 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160 They'll have to pull it out of the bag tomorrow. Oh, beyond that. 486 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400 Their opera slices weren't singing at all. 487 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,600 Nice one, Liam.

You are having an absolute giraffe. 505 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,840 Can't be done.

It's just a case of elevating it 511 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,880 to something different. If we don't nail it, we're not back next week, 512 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,360 so it's all or nothing. 513 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,440 I'm well chuffed with this. I absolutely love banoffee. 514 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,800 With a biccy bottom. It has to be a biccy bottom. What? What's a biccy bottom? 515 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,480 What's a biccy bottom?

Ha-ha! 523 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,040 As much as you want. 524 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,240 However, I need to see the hero - banana, banana, banana! 525 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,920 We will find out also what our teams are made of when it comes to 526 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,360 the showpiece. What type of skills they can bring to this competition. 527 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,960 It needs to be fun, it needs to be colourful. 528 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,560 Chefs, please do not play it safe or you will be going home. 529 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,120 Good morning, ladies.

Have you been inspired? 531 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,400 So we've been inspired by Carmen Miranda, 532 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,880 a South American-Portuguese performer. She was really famous 533 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,440 for wearing a banana hat. It will be little bananas 534 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,400 that we will place on top of her head. 535 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,600 Nicoletta and Georgina's ode to this glamorous icon will be adorned 536 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,320 with chocolate vines and showgirl fans. 537 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,280 They're enhancing their individual banoffee desserts 538 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,000 with a rum banana compote, 539 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,200 caramel sponge and a malted-milk mousse. 540 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,880 I think this challenge will be intriguing, because, yesterday, you make radio. Yeah. 541 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,800 And today you make something that you like that you can dance around when you make it, as well. 542 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,080 Exactly. So there'll be a bit of samba to go with it? 543 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,280 Er, well... We can do that in the background. 544 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,440 Yes, we can go for a dance. I'm sure you would love that. 545 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,240 LIAM: And Nicoletta and Georgina aren't the only chefs going bananas with their banoffee. 546 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,040 Oh, my God do they have our same moulds?
