Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,479
Noel, Noel!
2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,479
I got a feeling I'm not in
the Bake Off any more.
3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,919
Are you a Munchkin?
No, of course not.
4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,319
Where are we? How do we get
back to the tent? I don't know.
5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,679
I don't have a brain.
That's the QI gig gone.
6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,959
Look, there's Paul. Paul!
7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,079
Hi, Noel. Hi, Munchkin.
8
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:19,479
I am not a Munchkin!
9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,759
I don't have a heart.
10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,959
Yeah, that's not going to come
as a big shock to people.
11
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,439
Raaarr!
12
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,639
You're bold this year.
13
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,199
Prue, what you doing? I was late.
14
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,439
It's the last costume. Come on.
15
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,839
ALL: # Cakes and quiches
and pies, oh, my
16
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,279
# Cakes and quiches
and pies, oh, my. #
17
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Wait a second.
I can just click my heels together.
18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,039
It worked!
19
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,399
Are you guys going to start
the show or what?
20
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,639
I had some kind of weird dream.
21
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,079
I'm not sure it was a dream.
Paul still doesn't have a heart.
22
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,359
Business as usual. Hmm.
23
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,959
NOEL AND SANDI: Welcome to
The Great British Bake Off.
24
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,079
So, are you going to wear
that for the whole season?
25
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,119
I thought I might, yeah.
Yeah, it's a strong look.
26
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,239
I don't think this show
can have too much gingham.
27
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,839
Is it weird that I fancy you now?
28
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,000
So do I.
29
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,759
The winner of
The Great British Bake Off is...
30
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,080
{\an1}APPLAUSE
31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,199
It's our tenth anniversary, but who
will be our tenth Bake Off champion?
32
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,199
The first time I saw the tent,
I just thought, "What!?"
33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,359
Just the most surreal thing ever.
34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,439
It's just insane.
35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,559
Very nervous. I've watched
the Bake Off every season
36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,639
and to actually be here,
I can't quite believe it.
37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,279
Absolutely terrified.
38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,279
I baked along with Bake Off
last year and now it's there.
39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,799
It doesn't seem real yet.
40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Not until Sandi or Noel says...
41
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,280
On your marks. Get set. "Bake."
42
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:50,719
This year, the Bake Off has
gone one better... Really?
43
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,519
..with 13 home bakers from across
the country.
44
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,239
Oh, my days.
45
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,359
Tenth year. We're bringing back
the baker's dozen.
46
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,119
It could be any point
in the next nine weeks
47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,319
that two people could leave.
48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,999
I feel like I've got a sweat on.
49
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,799
Last year, the bar really went up.
50
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,799
This year I want to be
inspired by those 13 bakers
51
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,559
and I'm longing to taste
what they bake.
52
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,679
This year's challenges have been
carefully devised to conjure up some
53
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,999
of the most spectacular home baking
the competition has ever seen.
54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,959
I think everyone's feeling a bit
worried about being the worst.
55
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,239
{\an5}I keep forgetting that the
technical's a thing, obviously,
cos I can't practise it.
56
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,359
{\an5}Then I'm like, "Oh, my God,
the technical, it's something
else to think about."
57
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,599
I think baking and being a vet do
complement each other.
58
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000
We use quite a lot of needles and
syringes, catheters, bits and bobs.
59
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,439
Some more normal than others.
60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,759
Will Paul and Prue be impressed
with our baker's dozen?
61
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,159
Meeting Paul and Prue is going
to be nerve-racking.
62
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,559
My belly's in knots.
63
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,399
I've been up in the middle of the
night saying, "I can't do this."
64
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,879
I just don't want to be
shaking the whole time.
65
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,519
I once made a wedding
cake for someone,
66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,959
but I didn't even stick around to
hear how it went or if it fell.
67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,999
I wouldn't say I'm a high achiever.
68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,919
I'd say I achieve certain
things in sort of the same way
69
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,080
that you can achieve a hangover.
70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,159
SANDI: On our tenth anniversary...
71
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,239
Hopefully it'll stay.
It hasn't fallen over yet.
72
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,519
..in our biggest competition ever...
73
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,319
Mayhem is the best word for it.
74
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,039
..who will be crowned the winner...
75
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,959
He's doing the Bake Off thing!
76
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,999
Does it work? No.
THEY LAUGH
77
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,959
..of The Great British Bake Off?
78
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,559
Oh, the shakes, oh, the shakes.
79
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Let's not drop the cake.
80
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,639
It's faultless, actually.
81
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,679
I'm dribbling.
82
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,559
Prue, you've got to stop saying
that.
83
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,920
{\an1}THEY LAUGH
84
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,279
{\an5}Once again, we've pitched our tent
85
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,000
{\an5}at Welford Park in Berkshire,
the home of the Bake Off.
86
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,759
We start with Cake Week
and over the next two days,
87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,879
our new batch of bakers will
face three challenges,
88
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,239
after which, one of them will be
crowned our first Star Baker
89
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
and another will have
to leave the tent.
90
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,079
Morning, bakers.
91
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,799
Welcome to your very first
day in the tent.
92
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,159
How marvellous to see you all
looking quite so relaxed.
93
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Now, here is the important thing,
94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,559
there are 13 of you, what people
used to call a baker's dozen.
95
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,879
Well, mainly old people.
Old people. I think, yeah.
96
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,439
What it means is that at any point,
97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,999
two of you might be
leaving the tent.
98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,079
Could be this week. Could be the
semifinal. We just don't know.
99
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,919
Now, for your first-ever
Signature Challenge,
100
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,799
the judges would like you
to bake a fruitcake.
101
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,559
It can be any size, any shape...
102
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,639
But it must contain a significant
amount of dried fruit.
103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,919
Significant. Yeah, more than
one currant, I think.
104
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,199
Five? Yeah, five is fine.
105
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,999
Five is significant. Yeah.
106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Now, as well as being
perfectly baked,
107
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,279
it must be beautifully decorated.
108
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,199
You have two and a half hours.
109
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
On your marks. Get set. Bake.
110
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,559
Finally doing it, can you
believe it? It's madness.
111
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,239
God! I'm freaking out.
112
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,839
I am nervous.
113
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,039
I'm trying to find my
measuring thing now.
114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,839
My God, I'm in a tizz already.
115
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,439
The fruitcake for me is
one of those basics of baking.
116
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,399
Pick a great sponge base,
fill it with fruit,
117
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,679
but it's about the consistency
of the batter.
118
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,159
Too thin, all the fruit will
drop down to the bottom.
119
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,599
Too thick, they all stay at the top.
120
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,079
Get the balance right
and it will bake beautifully.
121
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,119
They've only got
two and a half hours
122
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,079
so they have to get those cakes into
the oven, out of the oven
123
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,119
and get it cooled, because we
want it decorated as well,
124
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,959
and there's a real danger that
they'll be putting icing onto
125
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,959
a hot cake and it'll just melt.
126
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Just trying not to cut myself.
127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,799
It's really sharp.
128
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,199
Ah, I need a plaster from somebody.
129
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,799
At this stage, I think the
bakers will be quite nervous,
130
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,359
but I think every year of Bake Off
131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,119
the standard's got better
and better and better
132
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,399
and I expect this year
to be exactly the same.
133
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,479
Hello. Good morning. How are you?
Good morning, love.
134
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,959
Right, tell us all about your
fruitcake. What are you doing?
135
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,519
{\an8}So I'm doing, like,
a Christmas cake,
136
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,999
{\an8}it's something my mum used to make
all the time when I was a kid.
137
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,839
She'd literally make them
in October, like,
138
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,439
soak the fruit beforehand and then
keep pouring brandy in them.
139
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,639
So, to speed things up a bit,
I've put my fruit over heat
140
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,039
and just let it simmer while
I'm getting the cake mix ready.
141
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,719
I do it like you do it. Oh, do you?
142
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,079
I never bother to do it ahead. Yeah.
143
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Amelia is a fashion designer
from Halifax
144
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:24,719
and she's been baking with her mum
Julia since she was five.
145
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,159
Lots of washing up for Mum?
146
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,679
Yeah. Great.
147
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,199
Her mum's recipe demands
over 700g of mixed fruit,
148
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,799
all infused with orange brandy.
149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,879
That is definitely a significant
amount of fruit.
150
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,799
Yeah, definitely at least
four currants.
151
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,839
And, obviously, putting
that much fruit in it,
152
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,119
how long are you baking it for?
153
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,039
It's quite a low temperature
for about an hour and 15 minutes.
154
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,519
Fingers crossed. Do you think
that will be a bit...? Yeah.
155
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,199
It'll be close, but I think
it'll be fine.
156
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,319
Have you finished with the brandy
now? Not yet. Oh.
157
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,759
But I'll let you know when I have.
158
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Thanks, darling. Good luck.
Thank you.
159
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,959
Amelia isn't the only one
following in the family footsteps.
160
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,159
This is my grandma's recipe
I'm using.
161
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,519
{\an5}I think she's pleased
I'm using it. I don't know.
162
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,279
{\an5}I don't think she's angry.
HE LAUGHS
163
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,319
Five other bakers are ALSO using
recipes that have been
164
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,479
passed down through generations.
165
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,879
I'm making Bara Brith Teulu Ni,
166
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,359
{\an8}which is my family's Bara Brith,
167
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,599
and I brought my own eggs from the
chickens that they laid this week.
168
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,839
I'm hoping, secret weapon. They're
just super rich and super tasty.
169
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,039
SANDI: Michelle grew up on
her parent's smallholding
170
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,359
in Caernarfon, Wales.
171
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,759
She now lives in Tenby
with husband Ben,
172
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,839
son Alfie and their three chickens,
Chip, Hawker and Blossom.
173
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,439
This is worse than trying
to herd the sheep. Come on.
174
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,719
{\an8}As well as their eggs,
she'll use strong tea to soak
175
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,399
{\an8}the fruit for her family's
Bara Brith, giving it an extra kick,
176
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,639
along with an icing made with
her husband's favourite Welsh rum.
177
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,599
Oh, my God, my husband actually
thinks I look like you.
178
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,759
Wow. We should play a trick on him.
Do you think? No?
179
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,639
Don't we look alike?
Let's play a trick on him.
180
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,999
What, you go home? Next time you're
about to go on holiday.
181
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,719
I'll turn up at the airport, go on
holiday with him for three weeks,
182
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,239
see if he notices. OK. Yeah, fine.
183
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,399
A pleasure talking to you, and say
hello to your husband. I will.
184
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,319
Well, I'll say hello to him when
we go on holiday together. OK.
185
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,359
I love a bit of zest.
186
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,759
I am making my Great Grandma Rosie's
fruitcake.
187
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,639
{\an8}I think it does help to have
the family connection there.
188
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,719
You feel like they're with you,
holding your hand.
189
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,359
Steph's love of baking was inspired
by her great-grandma, Rosie.
190
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,879
Steph is from Chester and works
at her mum's classic car business.
191
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,679
Can I have one of these?
192
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,679
She's attempting a vintage look for
her citrus and apricot fruitcake
193
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,359
with candied oranges and
marzipan roses
194
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,919
in honour of her
great-grandma, Rosie.
195
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,479
Is your great-grandma still around?
She's not, no. Aw.
196
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,599
But she will find anything.
197
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,359
If you lose anything, just get
in touch. Really? She's on it.
198
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,159
I've lost a pair of socks, I'm going
to come chat with you. Excellent.
199
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,519
I've lost my mind, actually.
Um... Um, not sure.
200
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,999
I think that's beyond Grandma.
201
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,359
When it comes to channelling
Grandma...
202
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,679
That's the mango.
203
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,159
..Steph won't be alone.
204
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,679
{\an5}I'm making an updated version
of my grandma's, sort of,
205
00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,079
{\an5}basic normal tea loaf recipe.
206
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,679
So I'm adding my own dried fruit.
207
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,479
But what I didn't realise
is when you dry it,
208
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,959
just how little it actually weighs,
209
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,759
and so I've just had to dry more and
more and more and more of the fruit.
210
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,959
I had to finish it off at work,
211
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,479
so I think they think I'm an
awfully crazy person now, but...
212
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,839
Rosie's a vet in Somerset
213
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,559
and when she isn't drying
fruit at work,
214
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:19,279
she proves dough in the warmth
of her pet python Minnie's vivarium.
215
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Perfect temperature.
216
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,119
As well as adding her own dried
apples, strawberry and mango,
217
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,399
{\an5}she's also updating Grandma's
recipe with Indian chai.
218
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,119
I'm just trying to get as much of
the chai flavour as I possibly can.
219
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,199
Rather than trying to
make it look super fancy,
220
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,999
I'm going for tasting good, so if
that goes wrong, I'm screwed.
221
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,399
One, two, three, four.
222
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,319
As Rosie heads east,
she'll have company.
223
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,039
When I go over to India, on all
the trains they come through,
224
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,879
like, offering you chai and it's,
like, the tastiest thing.
225
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,079
Raised in Perthshire, Michael's mum
Nicola and his dad Sam
226
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,359
{\an8}have ensured his Scottish and
Indian heritage were celebrated
227
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,719
in his baking as soon as he could
reach the kitchen counter.
228
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,360
You used to be on your
climb up. Hmm.
229
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,359
{\an5}He's aiming high with chai spices,
chopped sultanas and apricots
230
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,999
{\an5}and a piped henna-style decoration
that will require a steady hand.
231
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,919
Mum texted me at five
this morning saying,
232
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,839
"Be calm, be slow, be confident."
233
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,079
It's going to be fine.
It's going to be fine.
234
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,960
I just... Ow, my God.
235
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,439
I've done it again.
236
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,319
I'm so sorry. Michael, again?
237
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,279
For goodness' sake,
this is so stupid.
238
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,319
It's the beginning, everybody
gets really stressed.
239
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,439
Less haste, more speed. Yes. OK.
240
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,079
This has to be the last one.
241
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,280
I don't have many left.
242
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,519
But the greatest danger in this
first fruitcake challenge...
243
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,439
Oh, my God.
It's, like, pressure's on.
244
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,919
..is the fruit itself.
245
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,239
Bit more fruit in.
246
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,679
Too much will overwhelm
their batter...
247
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,119
I'm getting a bit
OCD about my numbers.
248
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,319
..resulting in a stodgy,
underbaked cake.
249
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,839
{\an8}That looks a lot thicker
than when I did it at home.
250
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,679
But Dan has made a last-minute
change to his recipe.
251
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,959
I've, like, doubled my amount
252
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,759
of fruit in it today.
Yeah, significant.
253
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,639
{\an8}Yeah, you said significant,
I thought, "Oh!"
254
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,519
{\an5}So, literally today
you've changed it?
I've changed it, yeah.
255
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,719
My concern is whether
you're going to have time
256
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,680
to bake this now much bigger cake.
257
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,199
Can I just warn you? This is not
a good face, this face here.
258
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,279
Yeah, I can tell.
259
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,999
Dan lives and works in Rotherham
260
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,199
and is a support worker for people
with learning difficulties.
261
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,320
That's it - a good, big blob, Dave.
262
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,639
He'll add spiced rum buttercream
263
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,159
and coffee and almond brittle
264
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,319
to decorate his, now much larger,
rum-soaked fruitcake.
265
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,479
I feel like you've got no room
here to operate. I know.
266
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,199
I know. I feel like you just want
to throw all this on the floor.
267
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,839
{\an5}Watch this. There you go.
268
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Watch this. Watch this.
269
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,999
There you go. Fly, my pretty.
Do you know what? That works. Fly.
270
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,119
Look at this. Take your
shoes off, get comfy...
271
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,960
..nail this! Thank you, sir.
272
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,559
Whilst Dan's recipe is expanding...
273
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,519
Da-da-da-be-da.
274
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,879
..David's recipe is missing
something.
275
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,720
My fruitcake has no fat.
276
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,000
That's unusual.
I love healthy baking.
277
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,919
David is from Yorkshire and when
he's not travelling the world
278
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,079
working as an international
health advisor,
279
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120
he's fanatical about keeping fit.
280
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,519
Oof!
HE LAUGHS
281
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,639
As well as replacing fat
with carrot and squash,
282
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,839
David has found another healthy
alternative for his fruit.
283
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,239
I'm using dried prunes and figs.
It does sound like a cake
284
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,119
that's going to keep you regular if
I may say so. Oh, yeah absolutely.
285
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,119
Yeah. Well, yeah, I need that. Good
luck. Too much information, David.
286
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,439
Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you very much, thanks.
287
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,639
Bakers, you are halfway through
your first Signature Challenge.
288
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,959
Wow, first time call of the season.
289
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,160
Was I good? No.
290
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,919
Now it's the point of no return.
291
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,719
I've used this tin before where
half of the cake stayed in the tin
292
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,399
and we don't want that to
happen today.
293
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,199
That's fruitcake, innit? I don't
know what Paul's worried about.
294
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,799
Yeah, I'll show him.
HE LAUGHS
295
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,199
The more fruit they've added
in order to impress the judges...
296
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,079
Come on, please come out good.
297
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,319
..the longer their cakes will
need in the oven.
298
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,119
Just hope for the best.
299
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,359
Low and slow. I'm going to
check it after an hour.
300
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,119
160 for about 40 minutes.
301
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,319
In.
302
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,439
Oh, that felt good.
303
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,920
So we're going to set
a timer for 50.
304
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,519
Start.
305
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,839
She's in. She's in.
306
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,199
Come on!
307
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,399
But one baker isn't quite
ready to hit the oven.
308
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,919
I've just made the marzipan.
309
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,199
{\an5}Going to make a ring
around the middle of the cake.
310
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,800
{\an1}HORN BEEPS
311
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,079
Phil is a lorry driver from Essex,
where he lives with his wife Angela
312
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,959
and two daughters, 16-year-old
Lexie and 11-year-old Pippa.
313
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Oh, you want a bit? Tough. Oh!
314
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,119
Ha-ha!
315
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,959
{\an8}As well as marzipan, he's adding
cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg,
316
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,759
{\an5}allspice and cloves to a fruitcake
that's become a family project.
317
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,159
My wife and I have got a really
good baking relationship
318
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,519
and she's come up with
this, sort of, idea,
319
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,359
so I just do what she says
like any normal married man.
320
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,079
This year's first
Signature Challenge...
321
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,879
So here we go. Be kind.
322
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,719
..is about to get even trickier.
323
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,079
Check the cakes.
324
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,879
Whilst constantly checking their
fruitcakes' progress in the oven...
325
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,639
It's not burnt yet.
326
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,359
..the bakers will now need to use
every minute to create
327
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,240
beautiful decorations
the judges have demanded.
328
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,319
And Priya is hoping to impress
by bringing the inside of
329
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,199
her cake to the outside.
330
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,040
{\an5}This will look better, I promise.
331
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,079
Priya's an aspiring
novelist from Leicester
332
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,560
and mum to two-year-old Kian
and four-year-old Liam.
333
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Oh, that's good!
334
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,359
Her cake will be filled with
dried tropical fruit
335
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,999
{\an8}and to decorate she's handcrafting
oranges and bananas in marzipan.
336
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,359
What else are you going to make?
It's going to be a pineapple.
337
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,839
Pineapple? Eventually. It's like
a psychedelic snowman...
338
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,159
It is at the moment, yeah, it looks
a bit crazy. ..with a hat.
339
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,199
Look at that.
340
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,559
Alice is also going for a stand-out
look with her fruit decoration.
341
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,319
So, making a gingerbread fruit
wreath and then I'm just going to
342
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,560
cover the whole thing in gold.
It's going to be a bit glitzy.
343
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,559
Alice works at a school in central
London as a geography teacher
344
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,919
and uses her baking to help her
pupils with their coursework.
345
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,640
So, using your spoons, you are going
to be the waves, the erosion.
346
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,839
Snow white royal icing will coat
347
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,999
her Christmassy fruit and
gingerbread wreath,
348
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,359
{\an5}which she's hoping will
pack a gingery punch.
349
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,479
And I've added some extra
crystallised ginger
350
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,719
cos I absolutely love ginger,
so I'm just chucking that
351
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,999
all over the place, really.
352
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,119
Whilst Alice looks forward
to Christmas...
353
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,759
I'm doing, like, a Simnel cake.
354
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,279
..Jamie is already
celebrating Easter.
355
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,119
It's going to have,
like, chicks on it,
356
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,839
instead of just balls of marzipan.
357
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,199
That one's called Barney.
358
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,279
{\an1}HE LAUGHS
359
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,999
Jamie is currently on a gap year
360
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,719
and lives in Dorking with
his identical twin brother Alex,
361
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,119
their mum Charlotte and their
baking mentor, dad Pat.
362
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,199
Is that the cake
I taught you to make?
363
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,200
No, it isn't.
364
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,999
{\an8}Jamie's adapted his nan's
traditional recipe to create
365
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,479
{\an8}a double-layered Simnel cake.
366
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,719
So you get two layers of marzipan
and... Yeah, exactly.
367
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:11,919
..marzipan on the top. Yeah.
368
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,879
Good, I like a lot of marzipan.
369
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,199
How old are you, Jamie? I'm 20.
370
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,840
Does your mum know you're here?
She does. I'm allowed out.
371
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,679
NOEL: When it comes to
her decoration,
372
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,519
Helena is getting into a different
kind of holiday spirit.
373
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,319
I live like every day is Halloween
374
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,599
so I'm doing bat wings
made out of sugar.
375
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Try to spookify a fruitcake.
376
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,839
Halloween-obsessed Helena grew up
in Lanzarote and now lives in Leeds
377
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,039
with her rescue dog Cato, husband
Will and baby daughter Flora.
378
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,079
{\an1}SHE GURGLES
379
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,319
Oh, Flora will love it.
380
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,279
Her caramel bat wings will decorate
381
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,239
{\an8}her spooky spiced pumpkin and maple
fruitcake,
382
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,319
{\an5}flavoured with dried prunes
and toasted pecans.
383
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,119
They're not right.
384
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,039
It's crystallised, the caramel.
What a disaster.
385
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,839
I've never had a problem
with caramel.
386
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,959
You've got time.
387
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,759
From one Goth to another,
I know you're going to be fine.
388
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,680
I'll be in my coffin if you want me.
389
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,760
I'm just going to start it again.
390
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,839
# I got time
391
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,080
# I got love... #
392
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,679
{\an8}Henry will only have time for
one attempt at his decoration.
393
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,599
{\an8}This is a royal icing little house
to go on the top of the cake.
394
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,239
{\an8}It's just a bit time-consuming.
395
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,039
{\an8}Oh, my God, stop shaking.
396
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,199
Henry is studying English Literature
at Durham University
397
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,959
and in between his studies, he loves
to sing at his local church.
398
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,160
# Shall all your cares beguile. #
399
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,439
He's hoping to hit all
the right notes with his take on
400
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,239
a Wood Street cake, an almost
400-year-old recipe
401
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,839
which he'll bring to life with
his royal icing house
402
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,079
and piped chocolate trees.
403
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,119
Cos a Wood Street cake
looks quite plain,
404
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:53,759
so I just wanted
to embellish it a bit.
405
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,679
I've got to build this,
that's another thing.
406
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,999
It looks quite nice, laid out.
407
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159
I think you've done an amazing
job to get it this far.
408
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Look forward to it. Yep.
Thank you very much.
409
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,759
Bakers, you have half an hour left.
410
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,439
No-one looked up. No, nobody.
411
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,319
Everyone just went, "We've got
watches, what's the point of this?"
412
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,239
TIMER BLEEPS
That's yours, Michelle.
413
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,639
I'm just going to have a look.
414
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,599
There's more to baking fruitcake
than meets the eye.
415
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,639
It does look done, but now
I'm like, "Is it done?"
416
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,839
With so much fruit inside, if
they're not cooked for long enough,
417
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,639
the centre could still be raw.
418
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,879
It's brown on top, I mean,
419
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,400
I don't know what it's going
to be like in the middle.
420
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,359
But achieving the perfect bake...
421
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,519
Ugh!
422
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,199
..isn't their only concern.
423
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,879
Is yours out the oven yet?
No, not yet.
424
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,479
Cos I don't want
to leave it too long.
425
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,479
Breathe, you'll be fine.
426
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,479
The bakers need to leave enough
time for the cakes to cool
427
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,759
before they can start to decorate.
428
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,119
At home, I iced it
when it was still warm
429
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,959
and it just waterfalled down the
side, which is not where I want it.
430
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,719
I'm going to go in.
I can't wait any more.
431
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,799
I'm going to stick a skewer in
to see if it's cooked.
432
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,639
And that should come out
pretty much clean,
433
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,719
but if it hits the fruit,
you can get a bit of, sort of,
434
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,759
gunky stuff on it.
That's really not clean, is it?
435
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,159
No, it's not ready.
436
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,120
Not done, not done, not done.
Fail, fail, fail.
437
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,400
Not done.
438
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,160
Oh, it's cooked,
it's actually cooked.
439
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,159
Spot on. Oh, yeah!
440
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,399
This is going in the fridge.
Immediately.
441
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,799
That's not done.
442
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,879
I perhaps should've been
a lot more prepared.
443
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,919
Bakers, just 15 minutes. Urgh!
444
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,759
I feel like I've got a sweat on.
445
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,839
It's happened again.
446
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,039
It's not caramelising, so I thought
447
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,439
I'd just pour the sugar
and see if it sets.
448
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,119
If it doesn't work,
I'm going to be really gutted.
449
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,799
Oh, the shakes, oh, the shakes.
450
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,639
Look at that, that's an
intricate job. Thank you.
451
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,679
But I just need to get
this on top of the cake now.
452
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,559
How you going to do it? Um... Just
like... up and just pick it up.
453
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,919
Right, is it ready?
454
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,999
It's going to have to come out.
I'm not happy.
455
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,839
Pretty certain it's not
going to cool in time.
456
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,039
I'm going to pop it in the freezer
and I'm going to stab it
457
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,559
with some really cold skewers.
It's probably a really bad plan.
458
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,199
We just do strange things to cakes
sometimes. Mine's boiling hot.
459
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,399
So as long as it comes out of
the tin and then it doesn't
460
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,560
break in half, I'll be fine.
461
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,039
This is the tricky bit.
462
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,000
Let's go for it
and see what happens.
463
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:14,039
Moment of truth.
464
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,999
Oh, yes.
465
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Happy with that.
466
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,839
I'll put them back in the fridge.
467
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,519
Oh, that looks OK!
468
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,680
Why is it not working? Come on.
469
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,319
Oh!
470
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,439
Bit of it got stuck. Argh!
471
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,199
Bakers, you've got
five minutes left. Really?
472
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,479
Ooh! My cake's too hot.
My cake's too hot.
473
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,439
I think that bit goes there.
474
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,159
I didn't expect to be doing this
with basically one hand.
475
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,279
This is just like liquidised sugar.
Got to do something.
476
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,879
Then just let the rum icing
run down the side.
477
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,919
It's beautiful! Thank you, darling.
478
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,839
I'm just trying to cool it down
quickly. It's just so hot.
479
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,879
{\an5}He's doing the Bake Off thing!
480
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,719
Does it work? No.
481
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,119
{\an1}THEY LAUGH
482
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,399
It's already melting.
483
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,039
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
484
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,439
Cake's still too hot, so it's
pulling the cake apart.
485
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,719
No, no, it's bending.
486
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,599
Dammit. They've gone, "Vmmm."
487
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,879
I'm popping this on.
488
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,759
Give me one sec,
cos my hands are shaking.
489
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,079
Oh, God, I can feel my heart
pounding out of my chest.
490
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Do you want a hand? If you can
make the brittle, brittle.
491
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,479
Oh, balls.
492
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,079
The worst has happened.
493
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,199
{\an1}HE LAUGHS
494
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,159
Oh, my God. The actual worst.
495
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,839
Bakers, your time is up.
496
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,239
That's it, end of your
first challenge.
497
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,359
Oh.
498
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:39,160
Please place your cakes
at the end of your benches.
499
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,439
First one, bagged.
500
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,479
You've nailed that.
501
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,959
Not good.
502
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,359
{\an8}What a mess.
503
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:48,679
{\an8}Urgh.
504
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,920
The word "infuriating"
does not sum up that feeling.
505
00:21:57,539 --> 00:22:00,458
{\an5}SANDI: The bakers will now face
the judgment of Paul and Prue
506
00:22:00,459 --> 00:22:02,578
{\an5}for the very first time.
507
00:22:02,579 --> 00:22:04,699
Hello, Priya. Hello. Hi, Priya.
508
00:22:04,743 --> 00:22:07,698
For subtitling services, contatct:
waqas.zahoor89@gmail.com
509
00:22:07,699 --> 00:22:10,298
I love the decoration,
it's simplistic but effective.
510
00:22:10,299 --> 00:22:12,138
NOEL: I'm getting Wham video.
511
00:22:12,139 --> 00:22:13,778
Yeah, Club Tropicana. Yeah.
512
00:22:13,779 --> 00:22:15,858
Let's have a look inside.
513
00:22:15,859 --> 00:22:18,699
Wow. Looks like a good piece
of cake. Lovely colour.
514
00:22:21,899 --> 00:22:24,178
I think you've got
what you asked for. Oh.
515
00:22:24,179 --> 00:22:25,658
It's light, very summery.
516
00:22:25,659 --> 00:22:28,618
The tropical fruits in it give it
that gorgeous citrus flavour.
517
00:22:28,619 --> 00:22:31,098
I think it's a well-baked...
Original. ..different cake.
518
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:33,138
Thank you. Thank you. Excellent.
519
00:22:33,139 --> 00:22:34,299
WHISPERS: Nailed it!
520
00:22:39,299 --> 00:22:41,138
It's got a very Easter feel,
hasn't it?
521
00:22:41,139 --> 00:22:42,578
Have you made eye-less chicks?
522
00:22:42,579 --> 00:22:45,498
He didn't want them to see
the horror of your judging.
523
00:22:45,499 --> 00:22:47,499
It holds together beautifully.
524
00:22:50,059 --> 00:22:51,418
That is delicious.
525
00:22:51,419 --> 00:22:53,538
It is mostly marzipan, which I love.
526
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:55,338
The fruit content
in there is perfect.
527
00:22:55,339 --> 00:22:57,218
That's a great bake.
It's a great flavour.
528
00:22:57,219 --> 00:22:58,538
Well done. Thank you very much.
529
00:22:58,539 --> 00:23:00,219
Thank you.
Absolutely destroyed that.
530
00:23:03,739 --> 00:23:05,818
There was a hut but it's now
a little bit of a wreck.
531
00:23:05,819 --> 00:23:07,658
My hands were a bit shaky.
532
00:23:07,659 --> 00:23:09,578
I saw it. It looked amazing.
533
00:23:09,579 --> 00:23:11,498
It looked beautiful.
534
00:23:11,499 --> 00:23:13,019
More important is the bake.
535
00:23:15,819 --> 00:23:18,538
Henry, you have made
a very good cake.
536
00:23:18,539 --> 00:23:19,578
Oh, thank God.
537
00:23:19,579 --> 00:23:21,938
I think the texture's beautiful,
it's well-baked.
538
00:23:21,939 --> 00:23:23,859
I think it's a great cake.
Yay! Thank you.
539
00:23:26,979 --> 00:23:28,938
{\an5}Lovely definition, great colour.
540
00:23:28,939 --> 00:23:30,418
I like the stars as well.
541
00:23:30,419 --> 00:23:32,698
Did that bit stick a bit?
A little bit, yeah.
542
00:23:32,699 --> 00:23:34,979
Well, you can't say
there's no fruit in there.
543
00:23:38,379 --> 00:23:41,698
It's very moist, but I think
the flavour is absolutely lovely.
544
00:23:41,699 --> 00:23:43,818
It screams Christmas.
That's a great tea loaf.
545
00:23:43,819 --> 00:23:45,298
Well done.
546
00:23:45,299 --> 00:23:46,819
Ah!
547
00:23:49,499 --> 00:23:52,098
Do you know? I think it looks
absolutely beautiful.
548
00:23:52,099 --> 00:23:54,658
I like the way
you've iced between the ridges
549
00:23:54,659 --> 00:23:56,778
which you've got
out of the tin perfectly.
550
00:23:56,779 --> 00:23:59,578
Oh, my goodness.
Marzipan right down the middle.
551
00:23:59,579 --> 00:24:00,859
Perfect.
552
00:24:02,739 --> 00:24:03,898
Quite spicy.
553
00:24:03,899 --> 00:24:06,538
And that's all you get.
You don't really get the fruit.
554
00:24:06,539 --> 00:24:08,858
Just think the flavours
are slightly out of balance.
555
00:24:08,859 --> 00:24:10,458
OK. Thank you. Thank you.
556
00:24:10,459 --> 00:24:11,979
So close.
557
00:24:15,779 --> 00:24:18,698
I had trouble with the decoration.
Just could not work it out.
558
00:24:18,699 --> 00:24:21,459
If it's not right, don't
put them on. Lesson learned, yeah.
559
00:24:23,139 --> 00:24:25,498
It's very spicy.
It's almost savoury.
560
00:24:25,499 --> 00:24:26,658
I quite like it, actually.
561
00:24:26,659 --> 00:24:28,419
I've never had
anything like it before.
562
00:24:31,979 --> 00:24:34,378
When you put the icing on,
was the cake still warm, I take it?
563
00:24:34,379 --> 00:24:37,298
Yes, it was. Which is why
the drip hasn't really worked.
564
00:24:37,299 --> 00:24:40,019
But, I think it looks attractive,
good colour.
565
00:24:42,419 --> 00:24:45,138
Oof. That's not the noise
you want to hear, is it? No.
566
00:24:45,139 --> 00:24:46,299
"Urgh!"
567
00:24:48,259 --> 00:24:50,018
Texture is a little bit tough for me
568
00:24:50,019 --> 00:24:51,698
but I think the flavour is
fantastic.
569
00:24:51,699 --> 00:24:52,979
OK, thank you.
570
00:24:55,939 --> 00:24:58,699
{\an8}I think it's a great looking cake,
actually, great colour.
571
00:25:00,059 --> 00:25:02,418
Very nice. It's a juicy cake.
It's delicious.
572
00:25:02,419 --> 00:25:04,578
Isn't it? The apricot
comes through beautifully.
573
00:25:04,579 --> 00:25:07,138
I just want to pick up that slice
and walk out of here. Go for it.
574
00:25:07,139 --> 00:25:09,618
I can't. I've got a few more
people to judge. I was going to say
575
00:25:09,619 --> 00:25:10,739
you've got a few more left.
576
00:25:13,059 --> 00:25:14,858
The cake looks a little bit sad.
577
00:25:14,859 --> 00:25:16,298
It does. A bit flat.
578
00:25:16,299 --> 00:25:18,058
Shall we have a taste of it?
579
00:25:18,059 --> 00:25:19,779
I'm hoping it'll be lovely anyway.
580
00:25:22,419 --> 00:25:25,858
Cinnamon. Hmm. You've gone
a little bit overboard with that.
581
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:28,778
It's very chewy, that hints
at being underbaked. Hmm.
582
00:25:28,779 --> 00:25:30,099
Back to the drawing board.
583
00:25:33,779 --> 00:25:35,619
It's a lovely looking loaf.
584
00:25:36,819 --> 00:25:40,338
Very good marzipan. Maybe slightly
too much almond essence.
585
00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:42,698
The moistness, great.
The texture is perfect.
586
00:25:42,699 --> 00:25:44,858
I think if you'd pulled back
on the almond essence,
587
00:25:44,859 --> 00:25:46,659
you would've had a perfect loaf.
588
00:25:50,899 --> 00:25:52,738
You'd hang that on a door,
wouldn't you?
589
00:25:52,739 --> 00:25:55,098
Well, it is a wreath.
Christmas time. Christmas wreath.
590
00:25:55,099 --> 00:25:56,858
I love ginger.
Yeah, it's got a kick to it.
591
00:25:56,859 --> 00:25:58,978
It has. The crystallised ginger
is beautiful.
592
00:25:58,979 --> 00:26:01,378
You could've pulled back
a little bit on the other ginger.
593
00:26:01,379 --> 00:26:03,738
Nice idea. Sometimes,
going back to basics... Yeah.
594
00:26:03,739 --> 00:26:05,619
..don't try and overdo something.
Yeah.
595
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:09,538
{\an8}The decoration is beautifully done
596
00:26:09,539 --> 00:26:11,098
in spite of having your fingers up.
597
00:26:11,099 --> 00:26:12,379
It's like a pincer.
598
00:26:14,659 --> 00:26:16,738
I think the flavour is
absolutely lovely. Oh.
599
00:26:16,739 --> 00:26:19,018
I think you've created
a very good tea cake.
600
00:26:19,019 --> 00:26:20,179
Well done. Thank you.
601
00:26:21,259 --> 00:26:23,339
Not bad considering
you've only got one finger.
602
00:26:28,819 --> 00:26:30,378
You look a bit nervous.
603
00:26:30,379 --> 00:26:31,818
Yeah, can't see why.
604
00:26:31,819 --> 00:26:33,738
Well, it certainly does
look a bit rustic.
605
00:26:33,739 --> 00:26:35,818
You added more fruit
to this, didn't you?
606
00:26:35,819 --> 00:26:37,978
Yeah. I'm going to check
to see whether you managed
607
00:26:37,979 --> 00:26:39,418
to bake that all the way through.
608
00:26:39,419 --> 00:26:42,018
I'm not sure. That's a big slice.
609
00:26:42,019 --> 00:26:43,778
I'm afraid he was right.
610
00:26:43,779 --> 00:26:45,699
Oh, my God. That's raw.
611
00:26:49,259 --> 00:26:51,738
The alcohol you've got in there
actually tastes quite nice.
612
00:26:51,739 --> 00:26:54,458
I think your flavours are good,
I just think your baking's way out.
613
00:26:54,459 --> 00:26:56,259
I knew that. Thanks for confirming.
614
00:26:58,499 --> 00:27:00,058
That went well.
615
00:27:00,059 --> 00:27:03,258
I think he said
the flavour of the booze was good.
616
00:27:03,259 --> 00:27:04,579
That's all I heard.
617
00:27:05,779 --> 00:27:07,139
It went really well!
618
00:27:08,179 --> 00:27:09,498
I'm absolutely buzzing.
619
00:27:09,499 --> 00:27:11,938
I really hope my great-grandma Rosie
was looking down on me.
620
00:27:11,939 --> 00:27:13,218
I think she was there.
621
00:27:13,219 --> 00:27:15,218
Kind of a bit shocked.
That was all right.
622
00:27:15,219 --> 00:27:17,578
Next one, try not to
cut off any more limbs.
623
00:27:17,579 --> 00:27:19,338
I'm really chuffed.
624
00:27:19,339 --> 00:27:21,938
I feel like I'm in a good place
going to the technical.
625
00:27:21,939 --> 00:27:23,739
What's the worst that could happen?
626
00:27:30,299 --> 00:27:32,978
NOEL: The bakers were able to
practise their fruitcakes,
627
00:27:32,979 --> 00:27:36,419
but their next challenge is their
first gingham-shrouded mystery.
628
00:27:40,299 --> 00:27:43,418
SANDI: Hello, bakers, and welcome to
your very first technical challenge,
629
00:27:43,419 --> 00:27:46,858
which today has been set for you
by Prudence. Any advice?
630
00:27:46,859 --> 00:27:49,378
The secret of success is accuracy.
631
00:27:49,379 --> 00:27:52,218
Yeah, I have that on a tapestry.
632
00:27:52,219 --> 00:27:55,058
NOEL: As ever, your Technical
Challenge will be judged blind.
633
00:27:55,059 --> 00:27:57,978
So, we're going to have to ask
Prudence and Paulette
634
00:27:57,979 --> 00:28:00,018
to leave the tent. Yeah, off you go.
635
00:28:00,019 --> 00:28:01,378
Do you know what they're up to?
636
00:28:01,379 --> 00:28:03,618
Paul's bought two leotards
and a pommel horse.
637
00:28:03,619 --> 00:28:04,778
Ah, PE lesson.
638
00:28:04,779 --> 00:28:07,338
Right,
so for your Technical Challenge,
639
00:28:07,339 --> 00:28:11,178
Prue would like you to make
six identical angel cake slices.
640
00:28:11,179 --> 00:28:13,458
Each made of three
layers of Genoise sponge.
641
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:16,978
Now, the sponge layers must be
sandwiched with a silky
642
00:28:16,979 --> 00:28:18,778
smooth Italian meringue buttercream.
643
00:28:18,779 --> 00:28:23,178
Your angel cake slices should be
topped with icing and feathered.
644
00:28:23,179 --> 00:28:24,578
Whatever that may be.
645
00:28:24,579 --> 00:28:27,258
Feathers on cakes. You've got
an hour and three quarters.
646
00:28:27,259 --> 00:28:28,859
On your marks. Get set. Bake.
647
00:28:30,699 --> 00:28:34,018
Oh, God. I didn't want a Genoise
sponge and what have we got?
648
00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:35,178
Genoise sponge.
649
00:28:35,179 --> 00:28:36,698
I love an angel cake
650
00:28:36,699 --> 00:28:38,538
but I like the cheap one,
like, the 50p job.
651
00:28:38,539 --> 00:28:40,578
But, like, this is a proper one.
652
00:28:40,579 --> 00:28:44,658
SANDI: To make the angel cakes, the
bakers have all been given the same
653
00:28:44,659 --> 00:28:48,058
ingredients and Prue's
complex 15-stage recipe.
654
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:50,578
This is a bit,
as they say, technical.
655
00:28:50,579 --> 00:28:52,058
It's so complicated.
656
00:28:52,059 --> 00:28:54,899
There's a lot of room
for error here, huge error.
657
00:28:56,339 --> 00:28:57,498
Great choice, Prue.
658
00:28:57,499 --> 00:29:00,098
Angel cake slices
for the first technical
659
00:29:00,099 --> 00:29:03,218
these bakers will have to face.
I am feeling a little mean.
660
00:29:03,219 --> 00:29:06,458
It sounds simple enough but
the point is it's a Genoise sponge
661
00:29:06,459 --> 00:29:09,498
and it's really easy for
that mixture to become flat.
662
00:29:09,499 --> 00:29:12,938
If they over-mix, it's not
just volume they'll lose -
663
00:29:12,939 --> 00:29:15,378
the texture becomes rubbery
and it has to be light.
664
00:29:15,379 --> 00:29:16,739
Now let's have a taste.
665
00:29:18,499 --> 00:29:20,498
Takes me back, actually,
to when I was a kid.
666
00:29:20,499 --> 00:29:22,458
You get the raspberry,
you get the lemon.
667
00:29:22,459 --> 00:29:23,818
I've just got a vanilla one.
668
00:29:23,819 --> 00:29:25,698
The flavours are delicate
but strong enough.
669
00:29:25,699 --> 00:29:28,258
I think they taste delicious.
I think it's a great challenge.
670
00:29:28,259 --> 00:29:29,938
We don't know what
the bakers are like.
671
00:29:29,939 --> 00:29:32,258
We're beginning to get to know them
and I think that's
672
00:29:32,259 --> 00:29:35,338
a pretty cruel Technical Challenge.
Great, though. Great, though.
673
00:29:35,339 --> 00:29:36,978
You like a bit of cruelty.
I do, yeah.
674
00:29:36,979 --> 00:29:38,699
That starts them off
on the right foot.
675
00:29:41,219 --> 00:29:43,658
First, fold the foil paper
to divide the cake tin
676
00:29:43,659 --> 00:29:45,058
into three even sections.
677
00:29:45,059 --> 00:29:46,418
Got some maths in here.
678
00:29:46,419 --> 00:29:48,258
So, it could go brilliantly,
679
00:29:48,259 --> 00:29:50,178
or it could go horribly.
680
00:29:50,179 --> 00:29:52,378
It's a little bit of origami
at the moment.
681
00:29:52,379 --> 00:29:54,258
Because of
my signature this morning,
682
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:55,978
I've definitely got
a lot more pressure.
683
00:29:55,979 --> 00:29:59,018
But, luckily, the instructions
so far look pretty clear.
684
00:29:59,019 --> 00:30:01,179
So far. I'm only on step one.
685
00:30:02,419 --> 00:30:05,778
Right, so for the Genoise,
tip the eggs and sugar into a bowl,
686
00:30:05,779 --> 00:30:07,938
whisk the mixture
until it reaches 43 degrees.
687
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:09,859
I've never made a Genoise, dammit!
688
00:30:12,259 --> 00:30:14,578
NOEL: If the bakers don't
whisk for long enough...
689
00:30:14,579 --> 00:30:16,498
This is where
I get a good strong arm.
690
00:30:16,499 --> 00:30:19,938
..they won't get enough air
into the Genoise sponge to create
691
00:30:19,939 --> 00:30:21,659
the volume that Prue is expecting.
692
00:30:22,899 --> 00:30:25,458
When I've made Genoise in the past,
it just ends up like a...
693
00:30:25,459 --> 00:30:27,498
..hard like a slipper. Oh.
694
00:30:27,499 --> 00:30:30,618
OK, how many angel cake slices
have you made in your lifetime?
695
00:30:30,619 --> 00:30:33,818
Uh, none. None. No, none, none,
none. That's because you're 12.
696
00:30:33,819 --> 00:30:36,138
Do I look that young?
That's why I get ID'd.
697
00:30:36,139 --> 00:30:38,178
Is that what it is?
Everywhere I go. Do you? Yeah.
698
00:30:38,179 --> 00:30:40,298
I got ID'd in Arizona.
It was very dark.
699
00:30:40,299 --> 00:30:42,698
Just saying.
It was really, really dark.
700
00:30:42,699 --> 00:30:45,658
43 degrees. We are done. Come off.
701
00:30:45,659 --> 00:30:48,778
Whoo. Whisk the mixture
into ribbon stage. Fine, OK.
702
00:30:48,779 --> 00:30:49,898
We're going to go fast.
703
00:30:49,899 --> 00:30:51,578
It only takes a while.
704
00:30:51,579 --> 00:30:52,898
When you lift up the whisk
705
00:30:52,899 --> 00:30:55,698
and you draw it over the batter,
it leaves, like, a ribbon effect.
706
00:30:55,699 --> 00:30:57,978
I kind of think that's ribbon stage.
707
00:30:57,979 --> 00:30:59,778
This, I think, is perfect.
708
00:30:59,779 --> 00:31:01,618
Meanwhile, divide the flour
709
00:31:01,619 --> 00:31:04,458
and the butter evenly between
three small bowls, one, two, three.
710
00:31:04,459 --> 00:31:06,578
I've literally got
a thousand bowls on my place.
711
00:31:06,579 --> 00:31:10,338
SANDI: Prue is expecting
three layers of Genoise sponge...
712
00:31:10,339 --> 00:31:14,578
So, we've got lemon,
raspberry and vanilla.
713
00:31:14,579 --> 00:31:17,218
..each with a different colour
and flavour.
714
00:31:17,219 --> 00:31:20,298
NOEL: It's like that thing where
you go, "WHOO, whoo, whoo..."
715
00:31:20,299 --> 00:31:23,578
Have you made these before?
Tried Genoise once and botched it.
716
00:31:23,579 --> 00:31:26,539
Don't say that on the camera.
Too late.
717
00:31:28,139 --> 00:31:30,818
Good luck. Thank you. Whoo.
718
00:31:30,819 --> 00:31:34,058
It doesn't tell us how much of the
vanilla or raspberry or anything.
719
00:31:34,059 --> 00:31:36,218
So, you're just going to have to
judge how strong
720
00:31:36,219 --> 00:31:37,818
you think the flavour should be.
721
00:31:37,819 --> 00:31:39,538
We don't want it to be lacking.
722
00:31:39,539 --> 00:31:40,618
Teaspoon.
723
00:31:40,619 --> 00:31:42,418
Cup and a half?
724
00:31:42,419 --> 00:31:43,538
Going to go half.
725
00:31:43,539 --> 00:31:45,018
Ah, go on, two.
726
00:31:45,019 --> 00:31:48,618
OK, so, raspberry flavouring
and pink food gel.
727
00:31:48,619 --> 00:31:50,498
I don't know how much of that.
728
00:31:50,499 --> 00:31:52,378
I'm thinking quite a pale pink.
729
00:31:52,379 --> 00:31:53,698
Looks good enough to me.
730
00:31:53,699 --> 00:31:55,738
I'm not going to put
all of the lemon zest in.
731
00:31:55,739 --> 00:31:57,778
It's a big lemon
so that's still quite a bit.
732
00:31:57,779 --> 00:32:01,458
Oh, that is a lot of yellow.
Orange, yellow. It's a spectrum.
733
00:32:01,459 --> 00:32:04,258
Working with one bowl at a time,
sieve the flour over the egg,
734
00:32:04,259 --> 00:32:06,059
add the butter and fold it through.
735
00:32:07,899 --> 00:32:10,658
So, you fold it really gently cos
you've whisked all the air into it.
736
00:32:10,659 --> 00:32:12,458
You don't want to knock it out.
737
00:32:12,459 --> 00:32:15,058
Just trying not to over-mix it
but just want to get the colour
738
00:32:15,059 --> 00:32:16,338
to spread throughout.
739
00:32:16,339 --> 00:32:18,698
Gently, gently.
Don't upset the judges.
740
00:32:18,699 --> 00:32:21,098
I don't know if I've over...
over-whisked it or not
741
00:32:21,099 --> 00:32:22,619
but it's gone flat, basically.
742
00:32:24,219 --> 00:32:26,339
What's wrong? It's just got,
it's got no air in it.
743
00:32:28,099 --> 00:32:30,179
This is going to be
as flat as a pancake.
744
00:32:31,819 --> 00:32:33,539
I need to start again.
745
00:32:35,339 --> 00:32:37,018
I don't know
how to make this app work.
746
00:32:37,019 --> 00:32:38,938
Oh, it's cos it's
a Technical Challenge.
747
00:32:38,939 --> 00:32:40,858
Bakers, you are halfway through.
748
00:32:40,859 --> 00:32:43,778
So, pour the three batters
into the sections of the tins
749
00:32:43,779 --> 00:32:45,698
and then bake it.
750
00:32:45,699 --> 00:32:49,338
If you look at the yellow one, it's
half the volume of the pink one.
751
00:32:49,339 --> 00:32:50,978
But I don't have time
to do it again.
752
00:32:50,979 --> 00:32:52,658
I'm just redoing my sponges.
753
00:32:52,659 --> 00:32:54,698
I don't know why
this is confusing me so much.
754
00:32:54,699 --> 00:32:56,098
I'm going in.
755
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:57,618
How long for?
756
00:32:57,619 --> 00:32:59,218
No, there's no telling us.
757
00:32:59,219 --> 00:33:02,058
Seven minutes, eight minutes.
Something like that and check it.
758
00:33:02,059 --> 00:33:04,138
I don't know.
I'll just keep my eye on it.
759
00:33:04,139 --> 00:33:08,618
I'm a bit worried cos it's so thin,
it is so easy to over-bake it.
760
00:33:08,619 --> 00:33:11,858
I'm nervous, I'm nervous.
761
00:33:11,859 --> 00:33:13,418
SANDI: And in time-call news...
762
00:33:13,419 --> 00:33:15,618
Bakers, you've got
half an hour left. What?
763
00:33:15,619 --> 00:33:16,778
That's all from us.
764
00:33:16,779 --> 00:33:19,338
Oh, that's no good, is it?
I'm going to run out of time.
765
00:33:19,339 --> 00:33:20,818
I need to make the Italian meringue.
766
00:33:20,819 --> 00:33:22,298
I actually know how to make that.
767
00:33:22,299 --> 00:33:24,538
Slowly pour the hot syrup
onto the egg white.
768
00:33:24,539 --> 00:33:28,018
{\an5}Then she says, "Add the
butter until the buttercream
is smooth and thick."
769
00:33:28,019 --> 00:33:30,298
Should go nice and glossy.
Looks OK at the moment.
770
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:32,818
I've come to love you, Jamie,
cos I think you might need it.
771
00:33:32,819 --> 00:33:34,818
Yeah, it's failed again, so...
What went wrong?
772
00:33:34,819 --> 00:33:36,458
It turned out like this. OK.
773
00:33:36,459 --> 00:33:38,538
And then I tried to make it again.
A bit lumpy.
774
00:33:38,539 --> 00:33:40,578
And then it got even worse
so now I'm actually...
775
00:33:40,579 --> 00:33:43,338
It is a bit lumpy, darling.
It's, it's rubbish.
776
00:33:43,339 --> 00:33:44,898
It's not even worth putting that in.
777
00:33:44,899 --> 00:33:46,338
I'm only doing two layers.
778
00:33:46,339 --> 00:33:48,339
These have been in for 12 minutes.
779
00:33:49,539 --> 00:33:50,658
Yeah, I'm getting it out.
780
00:33:50,659 --> 00:33:52,538
I don't know if
this is meant to look like this.
781
00:33:52,539 --> 00:33:54,459
I said I putting them
in the oven for ten minutes.
782
00:33:56,139 --> 00:33:57,378
It still says ten minutes.
783
00:33:57,379 --> 00:33:58,898
I never started the timer.
784
00:33:58,899 --> 00:34:00,778
Oh. They look a bit like an Aero.
785
00:34:00,779 --> 00:34:02,538
They're about twice
the height of mine.
786
00:34:02,539 --> 00:34:04,978
Seriously, my sponge is like rubber.
787
00:34:04,979 --> 00:34:06,578
It looks all right, actually.
788
00:34:06,579 --> 00:34:08,338
So, sandwich with buttercream.
789
00:34:08,339 --> 00:34:11,098
This is not buttercream.
This is meringue. So bad.
790
00:34:11,099 --> 00:34:13,578
I've not had any angel cakes before.
791
00:34:13,579 --> 00:34:14,858
Hopefully, this is right.
792
00:34:14,859 --> 00:34:17,458
It's not looking quite right.
But I'm making the buttercream.
793
00:34:17,459 --> 00:34:18,738
I'm going to do nothing.
794
00:34:18,739 --> 00:34:21,298
Cover with the white fondant icing
and feather with the pink.
795
00:34:21,299 --> 00:34:23,138
I'm not sure whether to ice it
and then cut it,
796
00:34:23,139 --> 00:34:24,658
or to cut it and then ice it.
797
00:34:24,659 --> 00:34:26,898
I'm going for ice then slice.
It says to do that.
798
00:34:26,899 --> 00:34:28,058
I'm being very obedient.
799
00:34:28,059 --> 00:34:29,138
Five minutes left.
800
00:34:29,139 --> 00:34:30,658
We've got five minutes?
801
00:34:30,659 --> 00:34:32,938
Don't panic! Don't panic!
802
00:34:32,939 --> 00:34:35,578
Look at that. They might actually
refuse to try it.
803
00:34:35,579 --> 00:34:37,138
I literally wouldn't be surprised.
804
00:34:37,139 --> 00:34:39,298
It is rubber.
I'm not even just saying that.
805
00:34:39,299 --> 00:34:40,458
It is rubber.
806
00:34:40,459 --> 00:34:42,578
So, I've got to draw some lines.
807
00:34:42,579 --> 00:34:44,058
I've never feathered before.
808
00:34:44,059 --> 00:34:46,698
The secret to feathering
is a sharp cocktail stick
809
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:48,378
and wet icing.
810
00:34:48,379 --> 00:34:50,058
Mine has gone mental.
811
00:34:50,059 --> 00:34:52,138
What the hell did I get myself into?
812
00:34:52,139 --> 00:34:53,778
My hands are shaking a bit.
813
00:34:53,779 --> 00:34:55,458
Bakers, you have one minute left.
814
00:34:55,459 --> 00:34:57,739
No! Oh, my days.
815
00:34:58,819 --> 00:35:00,658
My hands are shaking so much.
816
00:35:00,659 --> 00:35:02,138
It's going to get chucked
in the bin.
817
00:35:02,139 --> 00:35:03,618
Like, literally that's inedible.
818
00:35:03,619 --> 00:35:06,618
If it fell on the floor,
it'll bounce right back.
819
00:35:06,619 --> 00:35:09,538
I can say with confidence
I won't be winning this challenge.
820
00:35:09,539 --> 00:35:13,258
Cut it into six, right?
Enough for everyone.
821
00:35:13,259 --> 00:35:16,339
NOEL: Bakers, that is the end
of your Technical Challenge.
822
00:35:17,899 --> 00:35:20,018
Oh, well.
Well done, everybody.
823
00:35:20,019 --> 00:35:22,938
Please bring your bakes
up to the table and place them
824
00:35:22,939 --> 00:35:24,858
{\an5}in front of your photograph.
825
00:35:24,859 --> 00:35:27,698
{\an5}They're not going to eat it.
It's inedible, like, literally.
826
00:35:27,699 --> 00:35:29,419
{\an5}Dan, do you want to swap?
827
00:35:33,467 --> 00:35:36,947
{\an8}Prue and Paul will now judge the
bakers' first Technical Challenge.
828
00:35:38,047 --> 00:35:41,246
They're expecting six identical
angel cake slices,
829
00:35:41,247 --> 00:35:44,126
filled with silky
Italian meringue buttercream,
830
00:35:44,127 --> 00:35:47,806
and topped with
a feathered fondant icing.
831
00:35:47,807 --> 00:35:49,006
OK...
832
00:35:49,007 --> 00:35:52,126
It's lost all the height,
and the spring in the sponge.
833
00:35:52,127 --> 00:35:53,566
And that red is too much.
834
00:35:53,567 --> 00:35:56,246
Where's the silky smooth Italian
buttercream? That's melted.
835
00:35:56,247 --> 00:35:58,366
It's not there. It's melted out.
836
00:35:58,367 --> 00:36:00,366
Flavours are there,
but it's like rubber.
837
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,166
If I dropped that on the floor, it'd
bounce up and hit me in the face.
838
00:36:03,167 --> 00:36:04,566
This one's feathering's better.
839
00:36:04,567 --> 00:36:06,927
However, still not as high
as they should be.
840
00:36:07,967 --> 00:36:09,126
Your flavours are there.
841
00:36:09,127 --> 00:36:11,286
They had too much icing
on the top, I think.
842
00:36:11,287 --> 00:36:12,886
Moving on, these look all the same.
843
00:36:12,887 --> 00:36:14,566
I mean, that is much higher,
isn't it?
844
00:36:14,567 --> 00:36:17,006
And it's pink, rather than red.
845
00:36:17,007 --> 00:36:18,486
It's got nice flavours in there.
846
00:36:18,487 --> 00:36:19,806
Yeah, that's not bad.
847
00:36:19,807 --> 00:36:22,486
I think this is another -
not to mince words - failure.
848
00:36:22,487 --> 00:36:25,046
Where's the bottom layer?
It's missing one.
849
00:36:25,047 --> 00:36:26,606
{\an1}CONTESTANTS LAUGH
850
00:36:26,607 --> 00:36:29,846
Do you know,
it actually tastes rather nice?
851
00:36:29,847 --> 00:36:32,966
We're missing a layer,
and rubbery to taste as well.
852
00:36:32,967 --> 00:36:34,806
This looks a little
bit more delicate.
853
00:36:34,807 --> 00:36:38,046
{\an5}There's a bit of height
to that sponge. And everything
is pastel shades.
854
00:36:38,047 --> 00:36:39,246
Mmm. This tastes delicious.
855
00:36:39,247 --> 00:36:40,806
Yeah, and the raspberry one's OK.
856
00:36:40,807 --> 00:36:42,446
Right. I like
the feathering on this.
857
00:36:42,447 --> 00:36:44,966
Yeah. They are fairly equal.
858
00:36:44,967 --> 00:36:47,046
Buttercream's good. Nice flavour.
859
00:36:47,047 --> 00:36:49,606
OK, moving on again. It's very thin.
It's lost all its height.
860
00:36:49,607 --> 00:36:51,246
But the buttercream looks beautiful.
861
00:36:51,247 --> 00:36:53,686
They're not bad. Hmm, a bit rubbery.
862
00:36:53,687 --> 00:36:56,606
This looks quite delicate. However,
the two sponges look the same.
863
00:36:56,607 --> 00:36:58,566
And the lemon should have
a little bit of colour.
864
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:01,326
Hmm, it's a bit tough. Hmm, it is.
865
00:37:01,327 --> 00:37:03,526
Now, I like the feathering
on that one. It's very neat.
866
00:37:03,527 --> 00:37:04,926
And that looks jolly tough.
867
00:37:04,927 --> 00:37:08,166
It's just dried a bit on the edges,
but it's not that tough.
868
00:37:08,167 --> 00:37:09,646
Talk about neat - that's not.
869
00:37:09,647 --> 00:37:12,807
The sponge is OK, but
they're still not high enough.
870
00:37:14,247 --> 00:37:16,006
The flavours are OK.
871
00:37:16,007 --> 00:37:18,966
Moving on, it's the highest one.
The highest, which is really good.
872
00:37:18,967 --> 00:37:21,086
And soft.
873
00:37:21,087 --> 00:37:22,806
I mean, it's hideous
fondant on the top.
874
00:37:22,807 --> 00:37:24,286
It's a very good cake there.
875
00:37:24,287 --> 00:37:25,566
Then you move on to this.
876
00:37:25,567 --> 00:37:27,687
Lots of buttercream,
not bad feathering.
877
00:37:30,167 --> 00:37:32,846
Flavours are all right. It's
certainly got the height, that one.
878
00:37:32,847 --> 00:37:36,766
Last but maybe least,
we've got very thin layers again.
879
00:37:36,767 --> 00:37:38,447
It's nice, shiny fondant.
880
00:37:39,607 --> 00:37:41,846
Quite tough. Very tough.
881
00:37:41,847 --> 00:37:45,607
SANDI: Prue and Paul will now rank
the cakes, from worst to best.
882
00:37:47,087 --> 00:37:49,006
This - number 13.
883
00:37:49,007 --> 00:37:50,846
Who's responsible for it?
884
00:37:50,847 --> 00:37:52,846
Jamie, it was pretty awful.
885
00:37:52,847 --> 00:37:54,087
Thank you.
886
00:37:55,447 --> 00:37:57,886
Twelfth spot is... this one.
That was me.
887
00:37:57,887 --> 00:38:01,686
Not surprised, blood red in
the middle, and a bit rubbery.
888
00:38:01,687 --> 00:38:03,446
Number 11 is this one.
889
00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:04,566
Michael. Sorry.
890
00:38:04,567 --> 00:38:07,326
It tasted nice, but
they were pretty uneven.
891
00:38:07,327 --> 00:38:09,486
NOEL: David is tenth. Ninth, Dan.
892
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:11,926
Eighth, Phil. Seventh, Priya.
893
00:38:11,927 --> 00:38:14,606
Sixth, Michelle. Alice is fifth.
894
00:38:14,607 --> 00:38:16,646
And Amelia is fourth.
895
00:38:16,647 --> 00:38:19,286
Now, number three was this one.
Stephanie.
896
00:38:19,287 --> 00:38:21,006
I mean, your icing was terrible...
897
00:38:21,007 --> 00:38:22,286
Thank you.
898
00:38:22,287 --> 00:38:24,406
..but the flavour matters
more than anything.
899
00:38:24,407 --> 00:38:25,967
And number two...
900
00:38:28,127 --> 00:38:29,646
..is this one.
901
00:38:29,647 --> 00:38:31,126
Um, not bad at all.
902
00:38:31,127 --> 00:38:34,246
Nice bit of feathering, nice and
equal, and the buttercream was good.
903
00:38:34,247 --> 00:38:36,846
Which means that
this one is number one.
904
00:38:36,847 --> 00:38:38,367
Henry, well done!
905
00:38:41,487 --> 00:38:45,686
Very good feathering, and excellent
in every way, really, so well done.
906
00:38:45,687 --> 00:38:47,326
Thank you very much. Thank you.
907
00:38:47,327 --> 00:38:51,086
To win at the first Technical, that
feels just quite... quite pleasing.
908
00:38:51,087 --> 00:38:52,766
Second, awesome. Chuffed with that.
909
00:38:52,767 --> 00:38:54,206
After this morning, I needed that.
910
00:38:54,207 --> 00:38:55,926
I sort of feel that
I've clawed my way back,
911
00:38:55,927 --> 00:38:57,406
and I'm not bottom-bottom any more.
912
00:38:57,407 --> 00:39:00,206
The Technical was supposed to be
the one that saved me.
913
00:39:00,207 --> 00:39:03,326
It didn't quite, so it's all
on the Showstopper tomorrow.
914
00:39:03,327 --> 00:39:05,366
If that doesn't go well,
I'm a goner.
915
00:39:05,367 --> 00:39:07,526
I knew, midway through,
that I was going to come last,
916
00:39:07,527 --> 00:39:09,606
but I just wanted to get
something fairly...
917
00:39:09,607 --> 00:39:12,727
well, it wasn't even respectable,
was it? - something on the plate.
918
00:39:18,327 --> 00:39:20,366
SANDI: Just one challenge remains,
919
00:39:20,367 --> 00:39:22,646
before the first Star
Baker is crowned,
920
00:39:22,647 --> 00:39:25,886
and one baker will have to
leave the tent.
921
00:39:25,887 --> 00:39:27,366
Hello, bakers.
922
00:39:27,367 --> 00:39:29,926
It's time for your first ever
Showstopper.
923
00:39:29,927 --> 00:39:32,406
So, today Paul and Prue would
like you to make a birthday cake,
924
00:39:32,407 --> 00:39:33,886
but not just any old birthday cake.
925
00:39:33,887 --> 00:39:37,046
They want the birthday cake
you dreamt of as a child.
926
00:39:37,047 --> 00:39:40,646
The cake that I dreamt of as a child
had marzipan arms,
927
00:39:40,647 --> 00:39:42,006
and we just held hands together.
928
00:39:42,007 --> 00:39:43,446
That's nice. Yeah.
929
00:39:43,447 --> 00:39:46,086
Weirdo. OK, the flavours, fillings,
930
00:39:46,087 --> 00:39:48,646
and decorations are
entirely up to you,
931
00:39:48,647 --> 00:39:50,326
but please remember
it is a Showstopper,
932
00:39:50,327 --> 00:39:53,126
it needs to be
spectacular and sizeable.
933
00:39:53,127 --> 00:39:54,966
You've got four hours.
934
00:39:54,967 --> 00:39:56,847
On your marks. Get set. Bake.
935
00:39:59,007 --> 00:40:02,286
Ooh. Every minute, there's, like,
100% always something to do.
936
00:40:02,287 --> 00:40:04,206
It's going to be full-on,
a crazy four hours.
937
00:40:04,207 --> 00:40:06,606
Mayhem is the best word for it.
938
00:40:06,607 --> 00:40:07,727
We will see.
939
00:40:09,007 --> 00:40:10,606
Time will be their enemy.
940
00:40:10,607 --> 00:40:13,846
It's all about colour,
it's about detail, it's about wow.
941
00:40:13,847 --> 00:40:16,446
They've got to show us
what they can do.
942
00:40:16,447 --> 00:40:17,926
That's going in t'oven.
943
00:40:17,927 --> 00:40:19,046
You're kidding me?
944
00:40:19,047 --> 00:40:21,486
Oh, wow, you're joking.
It's not funny.
945
00:40:21,487 --> 00:40:23,686
I'm rather hoping
for some originality.
946
00:40:23,687 --> 00:40:24,886
Children dream a lot.
947
00:40:24,887 --> 00:40:27,406
I want them to try to remember
what they dreamt about.
948
00:40:27,407 --> 00:40:30,246
But, as always, what matters
far more than anything
949
00:40:30,247 --> 00:40:31,726
is the quality of the cake.
950
00:40:31,727 --> 00:40:34,606
The flavours
should be real and punchy.
951
00:40:34,607 --> 00:40:36,446
It has to be delicious.
952
00:40:36,447 --> 00:40:39,126
I think it gives us a chance to
dig around in the bakers' skills,
953
00:40:39,127 --> 00:40:43,046
and find out a little bit
about our baker's dozen.
954
00:40:43,047 --> 00:40:45,766
Good morning. Hi. Hello, Helena.
955
00:40:45,767 --> 00:40:47,446
So, it's obviously chocolate cake.
956
00:40:47,447 --> 00:40:49,366
Tell us what you're going to make
with the cake?
957
00:40:49,367 --> 00:40:51,366
It's, er, a fairy garden.
958
00:40:51,367 --> 00:40:53,566
I had a fairy garden as a child.
959
00:40:53,567 --> 00:40:54,846
I have one now.
960
00:40:54,847 --> 00:40:57,366
You've got a what, sorry?
A fairy garden, now.
961
00:40:57,367 --> 00:40:59,606
You've got a furry garden?
Fairy g... is it my accent?
962
00:40:59,607 --> 00:41:01,126
Oh, a fairy garden.
963
00:41:01,127 --> 00:41:02,486
What did you think she said?
964
00:41:02,487 --> 00:41:04,766
Well, like fur? Furry garden?
965
00:41:04,767 --> 00:41:06,326
No, fairy garden!
966
00:41:06,327 --> 00:41:08,367
Oh, Paul,
I know what you're thinking.
967
00:41:10,087 --> 00:41:13,046
SANDI: Helena's perfectly-manicured
"fairy garden" will be covered
968
00:41:13,047 --> 00:41:17,966
in green desiccated coconut grass
and chocolate tree bark.
969
00:41:17,967 --> 00:41:20,926
So how big is your,
erm, fairy garden?
970
00:41:20,927 --> 00:41:22,406
{\an1}NOEL LAUGHS
971
00:41:22,407 --> 00:41:24,806
You're going to put these two,
and then these two...?
972
00:41:24,807 --> 00:41:27,286
Correct, yeah.
So it's a fairy mountain.
973
00:41:27,287 --> 00:41:28,886
Yeah, yeah. It...
974
00:41:28,887 --> 00:41:30,767
Oh, God, I can't do it.
975
00:41:33,967 --> 00:41:35,806
SANDI: Helena's not
the only baker...
976
00:41:35,807 --> 00:41:37,166
Better not put my hands in there.
977
00:41:37,167 --> 00:41:39,646
..away with the fairies.
978
00:41:39,647 --> 00:41:44,007
I am making a ty tylwyth teg,
which means "fairy cake" in Welsh.
979
00:41:45,607 --> 00:41:48,766
{\an8}Featuring a toadstool house,
built out of carrot cake,
980
00:41:48,767 --> 00:41:52,686
{\an8}Michelle's inspiration also
comes from childhood fantasies
981
00:41:52,687 --> 00:41:55,566
{\an8}of fairies living at
the bottom of the garden.
982
00:41:55,567 --> 00:41:57,806
My sister and I, we always
found that really magical.
983
00:41:57,807 --> 00:41:59,926
It's something that
reminded me of my childhood,
984
00:41:59,927 --> 00:42:02,606
so it's something
I want to do today.
985
00:42:02,607 --> 00:42:05,726
Steph's Showstopper is based
on a childhood memory
986
00:42:05,727 --> 00:42:07,726
she'd rather forget.
987
00:42:07,727 --> 00:42:09,366
It is a really sweet picture.
988
00:42:09,367 --> 00:42:12,206
I loved ice cream. But I'm
a little bit accident-prone, so...
989
00:42:12,207 --> 00:42:15,606
You dropped it?
..splat. Yeah.
990
00:42:15,607 --> 00:42:18,206
NOEL: Carved out of coconut
and raspberry ripple cake,
991
00:42:18,207 --> 00:42:21,166
Steph's hoping
her giant upside-down ice cream
992
00:42:21,167 --> 00:42:23,846
won't slip through her fingers
a second time.
993
00:42:23,847 --> 00:42:25,646
Have you practised this?
994
00:42:25,647 --> 00:42:28,446
I've done it
in varying degrees of success,
995
00:42:28,447 --> 00:42:31,126
so one extremely good,
but one less good,
996
00:42:31,127 --> 00:42:33,006
with a small amount of sinkage.
997
00:42:33,007 --> 00:42:37,327
There's no real going back at
this point, I've just gotta hope.
998
00:42:38,647 --> 00:42:40,406
SANDI: The taller the Showstopper...
999
00:42:40,407 --> 00:42:42,566
Something like that, hopefully.
Substantial.
1000
00:42:42,567 --> 00:42:45,046
..the more robust
the sponge will need to be,
1001
00:42:45,047 --> 00:42:48,686
to hold the weight of
the bakers' supersized creations.
1002
00:42:48,687 --> 00:42:50,606
I'm putting things
like glycerine inside,
1003
00:42:50,607 --> 00:42:52,606
trying to do things
to make it a very moist cake,
1004
00:42:52,607 --> 00:42:54,726
but it's still solid,
so it can stand up on itself.
1005
00:42:54,727 --> 00:42:55,966
It's a balance.
1006
00:42:55,967 --> 00:42:58,446
For her ambitious
three-tier design...
1007
00:42:58,447 --> 00:43:00,766
A lot of cake mix.
1008
00:43:00,767 --> 00:43:03,126
..Priya's not taking any chances.
1009
00:43:03,127 --> 00:43:04,726
It's quite a simple batter.
1010
00:43:04,727 --> 00:43:07,646
It just needs enough structure
for me to be able to carve
1011
00:43:07,647 --> 00:43:09,886
bits of it off, without it all
falling apart.
1012
00:43:09,887 --> 00:43:12,846
{\an8}NOEL: Priya's sturdy chocolate and
orange sponge
1013
00:43:12,847 --> 00:43:16,966
{\an8}will be shaped and decorated to look
like a child's pop-up storybook.
1014
00:43:16,967 --> 00:43:18,046
I've always loved books.
1015
00:43:18,047 --> 00:43:20,526
When I was younger, I used to
write my own little stories.
1016
00:43:20,527 --> 00:43:24,286
The Easter Bunny Who Lost His Eggs,
and Sally Sue's Glasses.
1017
00:43:24,287 --> 00:43:29,406
I took the trouble to, er,
put "copyright" and an ISBN number.
1018
00:43:29,407 --> 00:43:31,246
What sort of ten-year-old does that?
1019
00:43:31,247 --> 00:43:33,046
There you go,
that was me as a child.
1020
00:43:33,047 --> 00:43:34,766
English Literature student Henry...
1021
00:43:34,767 --> 00:43:36,566
I've made quite a few birthday cakes
at uni.
1022
00:43:36,567 --> 00:43:38,606
I was in the year where
everyone's got their 21st,
1023
00:43:38,607 --> 00:43:40,326
so the kitchen's been carnage.
1024
00:43:40,327 --> 00:43:43,686
..is also drawing on
his lifelong love of books.
1025
00:43:43,687 --> 00:43:45,926
I've based it around
The Magic Faraway Tree.
1026
00:43:45,927 --> 00:43:48,646
It's a really freaky book, reading
it now. But I loved it as a child.
1027
00:43:48,647 --> 00:43:51,526
Are you doing any of the weird
characters? Weird-character-face.
1028
00:43:51,527 --> 00:43:53,446
There's Moonface...
I'm not doing Moonface.
1029
00:43:53,447 --> 00:43:55,007
Based my career on Moonface.
1030
00:43:56,527 --> 00:43:59,726
{\an8}Henry's magic tree will stand
in its own three-tiered,
1031
00:43:59,727 --> 00:44:02,046
{\an8}triple-chocolate magical wood.
1032
00:44:02,047 --> 00:44:04,566
I've tried to get the sort of
woodland berry flavours into it,
1033
00:44:04,567 --> 00:44:06,126
and it shouldn't be
too sweet either,
1034
00:44:06,127 --> 00:44:09,006
cos children's birthday cakes can
be sickly. Tone that down a bit.
1035
00:44:09,007 --> 00:44:12,406
Somewhere between a child's dream
and this judge's taste buds.
1036
00:44:12,407 --> 00:44:14,686
That was the plan.
1037
00:44:14,687 --> 00:44:18,606
NOEL: One baker indulging in
his childhood self is Jamie.
1038
00:44:18,607 --> 00:44:20,686
It's like a salted caramel sponge,
1039
00:44:20,687 --> 00:44:23,926
with salted caramel buttercream
and caramel sauce.
1040
00:44:23,927 --> 00:44:26,206
I guess it's my favourite flavour,
as I was younger.
1041
00:44:26,207 --> 00:44:28,046
My twin brother, Alex,
likes this as well.
1042
00:44:28,047 --> 00:44:30,166
It's kind of a cake for all of us.
1043
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:33,206
{\an8}Based on his family's beloved
Schnauzer dogs,
1044
00:44:33,207 --> 00:44:36,766
{\an8}cartoonish canine fondant features
will be the icing
1045
00:44:36,767 --> 00:44:38,966
{\an8}on Jamie's dream birthday cake.
1046
00:44:38,967 --> 00:44:41,326
I haven't gone really big,
it's just a single tier,
1047
00:44:41,327 --> 00:44:43,366
but I should have enough time
to get it all done
1048
00:44:43,367 --> 00:44:46,806
and not be rushing around,
like I was yesterday.
1049
00:44:46,807 --> 00:44:49,726
I don't know why,
my butter's like, really stiff.
1050
00:44:49,727 --> 00:44:51,886
I don't think
I added too much flour.
1051
00:44:51,887 --> 00:44:53,727
I don't know why
it would be like that.
1052
00:44:55,647 --> 00:44:58,366
Oh, my goodness.
I forgot to add the eggs!
1053
00:44:58,367 --> 00:45:00,606
Rosie, I forgot to add my eggs.
1054
00:45:00,607 --> 00:45:02,526
Oh, no. Can you add them now?
1055
00:45:02,527 --> 00:45:03,606
No, I have to start again.
1056
00:45:03,607 --> 00:45:04,886
It's not worth the risk, is it?
1057
00:45:04,887 --> 00:45:08,086
{\an5}No wonder I was like, urgh,
it was like mixing concrete.
1058
00:45:08,087 --> 00:45:09,686
{\an5}Wow, already messed up.
1059
00:45:09,687 --> 00:45:11,167
That's good, isn't it?
1060
00:45:16,687 --> 00:45:19,606
Bakers, you only have
three hours left.
1061
00:45:19,607 --> 00:45:21,806
{\an5}I thought he was about to say
minutes, for some reason.
1062
00:45:21,807 --> 00:45:24,686
{\an5}That first hour went like that.
1063
00:45:24,687 --> 00:45:26,446
This is like deja vu, isn't it?
1064
00:45:26,447 --> 00:45:30,046
Whilst Jamie has to start
his cake batter once again...
1065
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,639
Are you warm? You are warm.
1066
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,279
..everyone else is ready
to begin baking.
1067
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,319
Straight in.
1068
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,599
So I'm just going to do
two at a time.
1069
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:39,839
But with multiple cakes
1070
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,519
needed to construct their
spectacular creations...
1071
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,919
Two down, two to go.
1072
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,399
..most are having to bake
in batches.
1073
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,439
And now I'm going to do
that all over again.
1074
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:53,559
With so much cake to support,
Alice is baking some reinforcements.
1075
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,719
I'm just making some
lemon butter biscuits,
1076
00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:00,079
which are going to form some walls
and a roof for my sweet shop.
1077
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,599
Both my parents are dentists
1078
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,319
so, as a kid, sweets weren't
really on the menu.
1079
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,519
{\an8}Alice will be decorating
lemon-and-raspberry-flavoured sponge
1080
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,479
{\an8}to look like a sweet shop
with its own iced biscuit canopy.
1081
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,359
I have to be quite careful
it's strong enough
1082
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,799
that the roof doesn't collapse.
1083
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,679
A bit of a sag in one
of my practices so
1084
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,079
need to make they are
structurally sound.
1085
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,639
To avoid total collapse without
1086
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,039
scaling back on the size
of their Showstoppers...
1087
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,799
It is literally just marshmallows
and Rice Krispies.
1088
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,519
..Amelia, David and Phil
1089
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,760
are all using
a lightweight cake alternative.
1090
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:38,439
Because it's easy to mould and
I haven't got to make another cake,
1091
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,800
so I'm just shaping the nose cone
for the rocket.
1092
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,559
{\an8}Hoping to blast himself
back up the scoreboard,
1093
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,879
{\an8}Phil's towering rocket-shaped
and sherbet-flavoured
1094
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:54,159
{\an8}sponge cake will be a nostalgic nod
to the 1969 moon landings.
1095
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,959
There's a great story
of when the Russians
1096
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,439
first sent a satellite into space.
It was called Sputnik.
1097
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,919
The first one the Americans sent in,
it crashed immediately,
1098
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,319
and they called it Kaputnik,
which I quite like.
1099
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,479
Amelia is trying to figure out
how to avoid a Kaputnik of her own.
1100
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,759
I am doing a carousel cake, and
there might be a tube in the middle
1101
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,320
of the carousel, depending on time
and my nerves and everything else.
1102
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,119
{\an8}Inside Amelia's carousel will be red
velvet sponge and she's hoping
1103
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,759
{\an8}to have pink candy horses, merrily
going around her precarious pole.
1104
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,639
The, like, logistics of sticking it,
balancing my cone on top,
1105
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,279
yeah, it's just stressful.
1106
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,639
David's Showstopper...
1107
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,119
It's gonna be scary.
1108
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,639
..is just as intimidating.
1109
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,399
It's gonna be a snake, basically.
Snake? Yeah.
1110
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,719
When I was a kid
I had an albino Burmese python.
1111
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:43,999
I had a garter snake.
1112
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,079
I had a slow worm.
1113
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,679
Some of us have got snakes,
some of us have got worms, Paul.
1114
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,919
{\an1}Fiercely protecting an egg
full of baby jelly snakes,
1115
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,999
{\an4}David's terrifying chocolate
and orange snake cake
1116
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,799
will be complete with a tongue,
fangs, and snakeskin.
1117
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,119
I'm going with netting from a packet
of oranges and then spraying it.
1118
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,479
I saw it on a make-up programme.
Someone was doing a snake.
1119
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,839
It looks a bit like when they shed
their skin, doesn't it?
1120
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,199
Yeah, so I might just put that
at the side afterwards then.
1121
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,040
Good luck.
Brilliant, thank you very much.
1122
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,039
Bakers, you are halfway through,
halfway through.
1123
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,079
Argh.
1124
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,199
Two hours left!
1125
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,199
Let's hurry now a bit.
1126
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,759
I've done about 20 minutes' work.
1127
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,759
I had kind of safety net, which has
all been used up, probably.
1128
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,519
But looking better than before.
1129
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,319
They're coming out now.
1130
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,599
Must not drop the cake.
1131
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,119
While the first batch of cakes
are coming out of the oven...
1132
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,399
And so far, so good.
1133
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,319
..there's still plenty more
to be baked.
1134
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,239
Got my biggest cakes
out of the oven.
1135
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:41,599
My little ones are in the oven.
1136
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,959
And if keeping track
of multiple baking...
1137
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:44,999
Chill out.
1138
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,159
..and cooling times
isn't hard enough...
1139
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,760
What was that timer for?
1140
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,919
{\an5}..they've still got to find time to
make dozens of decorative
elements...
1141
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,719
This is probably
going to make a mess.
1142
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:01,359
..to turn their childhood
dreams into reality.
1143
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,919
I am making a jungle cake.
1144
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,279
This is going to be my tree,
1145
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,759
which I am relying on for,
like, the whole cake, really.
1146
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,279
{\an8}Clinging on to Rosie's chocolate
tree will be a fondant monkey
1147
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,359
{\an8}and our second coiled snake.
1148
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,279
{\an8}A familiar sight for our baking vet.
1149
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,399
Someone once brought in
a giant snake in my last job,
1150
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,759
and it wrapped itself around
my boss's computer. Oh, wow.
1151
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,279
Yeah, I was literally going, uh,
1152
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,879
do I have to replace the computer
if the snake squishes it? Uh...
1153
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,079
How, how do you persuade a snake to
let go of a computer?
1154
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,239
Just sort of waited
and sort of pulled its tail a bit
1155
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:31,959
and, you know, gently, and hoped.
1156
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,600
Wow. It let go. It was fine.
1157
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,719
These are gold bars
made of cinder toffee,
1158
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:41,079
because when I was wee, I had
a pirate party and my mum made
1159
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,560
{\an5}this amazing treasure chest cake.
So, I'm going to give it a go
myself.
1160
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,279
{\an8}Michael's treasure chest will be
heaving with cinder toffee gold
1161
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,199
{\an8}and precious gems
made out of molten sugar.
1162
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,359
Right, here we go.
1163
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,199
It sort of needs to
fill to the very top,
1164
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,679
cos otherwise you don't get
the full gem effect.
1165
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:58,760
Ooh, nearly.
1166
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:04,639
Ruined.
1167
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,279
Right, I need to just move on.
1168
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,599
Not only does Michael's
treasure need to set,
1169
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,159
it's also at risk of
being plundered by Dan.
1170
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,159
I'm baking a pirate island cake.
1171
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,919
I've just heard what
Michael was doing.
1172
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,360
I didn't copy it.
1173
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,279
{\an8}Dan's pirate island will be
formed from five tiers
1174
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,399
{\an8}of lime and coconut sponge.
1175
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,759
{\an8}And after a disastrous first day,
1176
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,919
{\an8}he's hoping he won't
have to walk the plank.
1177
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,359
You've pulled it out, haven't you?
For this one. I'm trying.
1178
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:32,999
You don't want to go
home first, do you?
1179
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,279
No, I definitely don't.
1180
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,479
If you go home first,
I will pull the tent down.
1181
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:37,959
We'll do it together. That's it.
1182
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,600
We'll graffiti Paul's car.
1183
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,800
Let's do that.
We'll hide Prue's glasses.
1184
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,999
So, Prue, dream birthday cake
Showstopper.
1185
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,479
I mean, I think it's a great
challenge, because I think it
1186
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,559
allows the bakers to really
bring their personality out.
1187
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,119
The only big issue I think
they're all going to have
1188
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,999
is finishing it off, cos the last
thing we want is just the sponge
1189
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,959
with no decorative element to it.
1190
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,279
It's the decoration that
will let them down.
1191
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,119
I haven't actually finished
the whole thing decorated at home.
1192
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,479
I've always been about
20 minutes over.
1193
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,559
Pressure's on now to make sure I do.
1194
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,639
Bakers, you have one hour remaining,
one hour!
1195
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,040
Argh.
1196
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,320
Just enough time for me
to do my fringe.
1197
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,119
One hour is a bit tight.
1198
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,479
Starting to feel the pressure.
1199
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,679
It's good, came out clean. So, let
it cool before I put the fondant on.
1200
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:31,919
So are you happy?
1201
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,079
At the moment, yeah.
1202
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,599
I'm, like, maybe a bit behind now
but I hope it works.
1203
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,639
If you want me to push anyone's cake
on the floor, just let me know.
1204
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,079
Dan's looking too comfortable.
1205
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,599
Dan, all right, I'll push it
on the floor. See you in a bit.
1206
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,919
I think I need to start assembling.
Everyone else is starting to begin.
1207
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,239
Only when all of their
cakes are cooled...
1208
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:51,839
Been in the fridge for 45 minutes,
so they're nice and cold now.
1209
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,240
..can construction begin...
1210
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,759
Not too much of a problem.
Just do that.
1211
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,879
Once it gets iced
that should be all right.
1212
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,239
..and the strength of their sponges
will be put to the test.
1213
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:03,960
There you go, you would never know.
1214
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,519
I dropped my cake. You OK?
1215
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:08,520
No.
1216
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,599
Oh, my God.
1217
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:19,799
I think it's OK.
1218
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,679
Oh, I think
I've got a stress hernia.
1219
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,319
If the bakers don't carve...
1220
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,079
This is the book, so it'll be,
like, sloped on the edges.
1221
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,359
..stack...
1222
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,439
I'm slicing the top
so that the cake is level.
1223
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,119
..and shape with precision...
1224
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:38,679
I just don't want it to go too deep
that it's going to collapse my cake.
1225
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,359
..their entire Showstopper
structures could collapse.
1226
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,919
Vanilla buttercream
going between the layers.
1227
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,479
Let's just hope
they glue it together.
1228
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,799
So I'm putting the passion fruit
curd on to sandwich.
1229
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,880
I hope the passion fruit's going to
pack a punch but we'll see.
1230
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,239
I'm just doweling the cake,
1231
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:08,359
which means, when I come to
stack it, it won't collapse.
1232
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:09,839
Have to quite careful with this.
1233
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,319
It's just a bit wobbly.
1234
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,999
If that doesn't stay up then
the whole thing will fall down.
1235
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,679
So, going to shove these in there.
1236
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:16,760
Can't do it.
1237
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,199
Sorry.
1238
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,679
I'm covering this in white fondant,
1239
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,479
just going to airbrush
the colours onto it.
1240
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,879
Cos I'm doing quite a simple cake,
1241
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,919
I think it needs to look
almost perfect.
1242
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,319
Oh, no. Calm down, calm down,
calm down, calm down.
1243
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,959
This is the nose cone.
1244
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,359
Just trying to use my hands.
1245
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,319
This is a tiny little thing so I've
got to be careful with it, really.
1246
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,599
Bakers, you have half an hour,
just half an hour.
1247
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,799
I can do it in half an hour,
I can, I can.
1248
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,879
Just add the final layer
and then it's decoration.
1249
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,999
How much I do depends on
how much time I have.
1250
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,639
This is the last mountain,
but I am worried now about time.
1251
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,559
I didn't realise we had
as little left.
1252
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,919
Getting there.
1253
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,279
My tree is rubbish.
It's the worst tree I've ever made.
1254
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,399
But I'm going to have to do my best
to try and fix it.
1255
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,479
I'll put the biscuits in.
1256
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,319
{\an5}So you're going to split
the dog's head open
and confetti's going to come out.
1257
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,199
{\an5}You know that Rosie's a vet, right?
You've got to stitch it back up
again.
1258
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,599
I really don't have time to fix it.
1259
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:09,159
This is my isomalt waterfall,
which might not have worked out.
1260
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,239
Start again.
1261
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:12,119
It's... upright.
1262
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:13,959
It's whether it can hold.
1263
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,079
Stay.
1264
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,439
Hasn't fallen over yet.
1265
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:17,959
Looks a bit unstable to me.
1266
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,320
Might have to deconstruct it
until I'm ready.
1267
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,200
It's all right.
1268
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:25,240
No pressure.
1269
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,559
Bakers, you have ten minutes left.
1270
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,279
Just throw food colouring at it.
It will be fine.
1271
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,479
That's what I'm doing.
1272
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,519
Michelle, do you think you're
on time? No. Close?
1273
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,359
Um... no.
1274
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,559
{\an5}Panicked a bit now. Mine doesn't
really look like a birthday cake
now, does it?
1275
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,639
Oh, God, I don't know
if I'm going to have time to put
1276
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,399
the tube in the middle. So this is
now going to sit on there.
1277
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,119
Yesterday the chicks
didn't have eyes,
1278
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,759
but dogs definitely
have to have eyes.
1279
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,559
Hey, you did a waterfall.
1280
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:53,560
Ish.
1281
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,279
Hopefully it'll stay.
1282
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,359
Bakers, one minute remaining.
1283
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,599
Urgh.
1284
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:00,639
That was a happy sound.
1285
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,080
Urgh. Urgh.
1286
00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:04,879
Oh, my days.
1287
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,239
Don't worry, it's only our
childhood dreams on the line.
1288
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:10,159
I'm not sure I can do
anything else, can I?
1289
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,039
Oh, don't run out of icing now.
1290
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,480
Come on.
1291
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,159
I need to just pipe the face.
1292
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:17,679
I'm out of time. So annoying.
1293
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,480
Don't think they're going to stand.
1294
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,719
I done it.
1295
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:28,639
Done it. Right, beautiful bakers.
1296
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,919
Your time is up.
1297
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,199
All your first bakes are over.
1298
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,159
You did it. Oh, my God.
1299
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,399
That is not what I want to see
when I turn round.
1300
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,599
Woof-woof!
1301
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,039
{\an5}Dan, that looks sick.
1302
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,240
{\an5}Don't. I feel sick.
1303
00:55:49,146 --> 00:55:53,898
{\an8}It's judgment time for our bakers'
dream childhood birthday cakes.
1304
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:56,780
Michelle, would you bring
up your birthday cake, please?
1305
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:06,539
Wow, it's absolutely exquisite.
1306
00:56:06,540 --> 00:56:08,579
I like the detail and it's neat.
1307
00:56:08,580 --> 00:56:09,659
It's tidy.
1308
00:56:09,660 --> 00:56:11,219
Well, now it's just
gotta taste good.
1309
00:56:11,220 --> 00:56:14,419
It is a carrot cake with orange
cream cheese frosting.
1310
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:15,859
It's a great looking carrot cake.
1311
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:17,419
I'm dribbling.
1312
00:56:17,420 --> 00:56:19,899
Prue, you've gotta stop saying that.
1313
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:22,860
I mean, I'm absolutely salivating.
1314
00:56:25,060 --> 00:56:26,859
I think it's wonderful.
Oh, thank you.
1315
00:56:26,860 --> 00:56:29,579
The balance of spices that you've
put in is perfect.
1316
00:56:29,580 --> 00:56:32,299
It's nice and moist inside there,
and the design as well.
1317
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:33,619
It's faultless, actually.
1318
00:56:33,620 --> 00:56:35,419
Faultless. Faultless.
1319
00:56:35,420 --> 00:56:37,380
Thank you, thanks very much.
Well done.
1320
00:56:40,700 --> 00:56:41,979
Faultless.
1321
00:56:41,980 --> 00:56:42,980
{\an1}SHE SIGHS
1322
00:56:45,180 --> 00:56:47,179
{\an5}It's very delicate.
It's very charming.
1323
00:56:47,180 --> 00:56:48,939
Let's see what it tastes
like, shall we?
1324
00:56:48,940 --> 00:56:51,700
Wafts of chocolate,
it's just terrific.
1325
00:56:53,620 --> 00:56:54,939
It is a fantastic sponge.
1326
00:56:54,940 --> 00:56:56,699
The depth of flavour is beautiful.
1327
00:56:56,700 --> 00:56:57,859
You've got coffee in there,
1328
00:56:57,860 --> 00:57:00,179
which actually blends
beautifully with the chocolate.
1329
00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:02,819
I think you've done a good job
with your fairy garden.
1330
00:57:02,820 --> 00:57:04,019
Thanks.
1331
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:05,020
Don't start.
1332
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:12,179
That doesn't look like a book. Yeah.
1333
00:57:12,180 --> 00:57:15,339
This is just a little bit clumsy
but I love the concept.
1334
00:57:15,340 --> 00:57:20,099
I've made a chocolate orange sponge
and chocolate orange buttercream.
1335
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:21,539
If I hadn't just had a better one,
1336
00:57:21,540 --> 00:57:25,139
I would've said it was an excellent
cake, but this is slightly drier.
1337
00:57:25,140 --> 00:57:27,699
If you'd spent less time with the
cake in the oven, and more time
1338
00:57:27,700 --> 00:57:30,700
getting it finished, you probably
would've been all right.
1339
00:57:33,740 --> 00:57:36,219
It's really impressive
and it didn't collapse.
1340
00:57:36,220 --> 00:57:37,819
It didn't collapse, no.
1341
00:57:37,820 --> 00:57:41,180
Some of it's a bit rough and ready,
but let's see what it tastes like.
1342
00:57:43,260 --> 00:57:44,499
Very light sponge.
1343
00:57:44,500 --> 00:57:46,619
That is a beautiful cake. Thank you.
1344
00:57:46,620 --> 00:57:49,419
When you do hit the raspberry, it is
deliciously balanced.
1345
00:57:49,420 --> 00:57:51,980
It's a bit simplistic,
but I think you've done well.
1346
00:57:54,980 --> 00:57:56,019
{\an5}It's so effective.
1347
00:57:56,020 --> 00:57:58,059
Makes me feel quite nostalgic.
1348
00:57:58,060 --> 00:58:01,259
I can remember 1969
even if you boys can't.
1349
00:58:01,260 --> 00:58:02,819
First man on the moon, 1969.
1350
00:58:02,820 --> 00:58:05,019
Exactly. And I watched him land.
1351
00:58:05,020 --> 00:58:07,500
It is a good design,
however, it is leaning.
1352
00:58:09,980 --> 00:58:11,259
This is sherbet, isn't it?
1353
00:58:11,260 --> 00:58:13,459
Mm-hm. For me,
it's a little too sweet.
1354
00:58:13,460 --> 00:58:16,500
It needs more sharpness
to balance out the sweetness.
1355
00:58:19,540 --> 00:58:21,379
I would never have
thought of that for a cake.
1356
00:58:21,380 --> 00:58:22,859
The design is spectacular.
1357
00:58:22,860 --> 00:58:24,340
I think you've done a good job.
1358
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:28,699
It's a good thing you've got the
blackberries there,
1359
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:30,179
because it's quite a sweet cake.
1360
00:58:30,180 --> 00:58:31,699
You want that rich chocolate.
1361
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:35,060
If you never had that blackberry
in there, I wouldn't like it at all.
1362
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:40,859
{\an8}You've been very
restrained about the colours.
1363
00:58:40,860 --> 00:58:44,299
This is a classy grown up's
version of a child's dream.
1364
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:45,819
Did you run out of time? Yeah.
1365
00:58:45,820 --> 00:58:47,459
I expected a little bit
more than that.
1366
00:58:47,460 --> 00:58:49,139
But let's see what it tastes like.
1367
00:58:49,140 --> 00:58:52,939
It's a red velvet cake with white
chocolate ganache and raspberry jam.
1368
00:58:52,940 --> 00:58:55,059
It's a pretty claggy cake.
1369
00:58:55,060 --> 00:58:56,539
It doesn't taste good, actually.
1370
00:58:56,540 --> 00:58:59,940
I see what you're going for, but I
think you're slightly off the mark.
1371
00:59:05,180 --> 00:59:06,979
I love the idea that you dropped it.
1372
00:59:06,980 --> 00:59:09,659
Yeah. Which happens always when
you've got children on the beach.
1373
00:59:09,660 --> 00:59:10,699
Always. Yeah.
1374
00:59:10,700 --> 00:59:12,339
That's a crumbly cake.
1375
00:59:12,340 --> 00:59:14,740
It's raspberry ripple and coconut.
1376
00:59:16,180 --> 00:59:18,939
It must be a bit over-baked cos
it's a little bit dry as a result.
1377
00:59:18,940 --> 00:59:20,419
Yeah, OK. Flavours are good.
1378
00:59:20,420 --> 00:59:21,659
Concentrate on your baking.
1379
00:59:21,660 --> 00:59:22,900
OK.
1380
00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:26,699
{\an5}I think it looks absolutely amazing.
1381
00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:29,299
It's charming. I think it's a
fantastic looking cake.
1382
00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:31,819
The egg has something in it as well.
1383
00:59:31,820 --> 00:59:33,739
Oh, it's baby snakes.
1384
00:59:33,740 --> 00:59:34,779
Oh, wow.
1385
00:59:34,780 --> 00:59:36,620
Brilliant and creepy. In a good way.
1386
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:40,860
That's a very nice thin
layer of icing, well done.
1387
00:59:43,220 --> 00:59:44,979
That is a beautiful cake.
1388
00:59:44,980 --> 00:59:46,819
You have the chocolate,
you have the citrus.
1389
00:59:46,820 --> 00:59:48,059
It all marries up lovely,
1390
00:59:48,060 --> 00:59:50,379
and to finish it off looking like
that, well done, David.
1391
00:59:50,380 --> 00:59:51,900
Very, very good cake.
1392
00:59:55,500 --> 00:59:57,899
I think it's a little bit
simplistic for me.
1393
00:59:57,900 --> 00:59:59,659
OK. A bit clumsy.
1394
00:59:59,660 --> 01:00:03,459
Well, I very seldom disagree with
Paul but I love the exterior.
1395
01:00:03,460 --> 01:00:05,339
Tell us all about
your birthday cake.
1396
01:00:05,340 --> 01:00:08,139
It's a red velvet cake with
an Italian meringue buttercream.
1397
01:00:08,140 --> 01:00:09,140
Nice equal layers.
1398
01:00:11,460 --> 01:00:12,939
The cake's baked beautifully.
1399
01:00:12,940 --> 01:00:15,139
The Italian buttercream is
silky smooth.
1400
01:00:15,140 --> 01:00:17,259
I think the interior, for me, works.
1401
01:00:17,260 --> 01:00:19,059
The exterior doesn't.
1402
01:00:19,060 --> 01:00:20,060
OK.
1403
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:25,899
Oh, my goodness. Looks great.
1404
01:00:25,900 --> 01:00:27,499
I think you've ended
up with a design
1405
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:30,099
that any kid would be
happy getting on their birthday.
1406
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:31,539
Remind me of those flavours again.
1407
01:00:31,540 --> 01:00:35,499
It's a chocolate and coffee sponge
with salted caramel buttercream.
1408
01:00:35,500 --> 01:00:36,940
It's a great looking sponge.
1409
01:00:40,340 --> 01:00:43,219
I like the texture. But I think it
needed a bit more chocolate.
1410
01:00:43,220 --> 01:00:45,179
It's good, just
think about your flavours.
1411
01:00:45,180 --> 01:00:46,460
I like the gold bars.
1412
01:00:47,580 --> 01:00:50,019
Very good.
Like a couple of big kids.
1413
01:00:50,020 --> 01:00:52,100
Well done, Michael. Thank you.
Thank you.
1414
01:00:58,220 --> 01:00:59,899
It's a waterfall.
1415
01:00:59,900 --> 01:01:02,139
Very beautifully done.
It's clever. It's very clever.
1416
01:01:02,140 --> 01:01:04,299
I mean, I could see kids
going for that straight away.
1417
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:05,859
It's lime and coconut cake
1418
01:01:05,860 --> 01:01:08,380
with coconut buttercream and
passion fruit curd.
1419
01:01:09,980 --> 01:01:11,219
Strong coconut.
1420
01:01:11,220 --> 01:01:12,459
Where's the passion fruit?
1421
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:13,899
It's in the curd. It's there.
1422
01:01:13,900 --> 01:01:14,979
It's so slight.
1423
01:01:14,980 --> 01:01:17,579
There's more of it in the middle.
1424
01:01:17,580 --> 01:01:19,940
{\an1}BAKERS LAUGH
1425
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:22,740
It's not there either.
1426
01:01:25,060 --> 01:01:26,980
If you go further up, there's more.
1427
01:01:28,140 --> 01:01:29,300
Get it?
1428
01:01:30,740 --> 01:01:32,259
Not really, no.
1429
01:01:32,260 --> 01:01:35,259
Your flavour ideas were sound,
but you're not bringing it through.
1430
01:01:35,260 --> 01:01:37,740
But the design I think
is very, very good.
1431
01:01:44,340 --> 01:01:46,139
How many sponges are in there? Four.
1432
01:01:46,140 --> 01:01:48,179
And you got salted
caramel in between each layer?
1433
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:50,579
Yeah, it's like a...
HIGH-PITCHED: ..car... Ooh, crikey.
1434
01:01:50,580 --> 01:01:52,539
How old are you? That's
embarrassing.
1435
01:01:52,540 --> 01:01:53,819
Is your voice breaking?
1436
01:01:53,820 --> 01:01:55,379
Finally.
1437
01:01:55,380 --> 01:01:58,259
Uh, yes.
1438
01:01:58,260 --> 01:02:01,219
So it's got buttercream and caramel
sauce between each layer.
1439
01:02:01,220 --> 01:02:03,259
Mine looks pretty good. Oh, I see.
1440
01:02:03,260 --> 01:02:04,940
They're your dog biscuits. Yeah.
1441
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:10,020
Actually those biscuits are really
nice. Are they? Mmm. Nice.
1442
01:02:15,060 --> 01:02:17,299
One mouthful's lovely.
It's like eating a toffee.
1443
01:02:17,300 --> 01:02:20,740
Yeah. But a whole slice would be
overwhelmingly salted caramel.
1444
01:02:22,740 --> 01:02:24,460
Your cake's over-baked.
1445
01:02:25,940 --> 01:02:28,140
There's not a lot of finesse
about this cake.
1446
01:02:29,740 --> 01:02:31,300
Thank you very much. Thank you.
1447
01:02:38,140 --> 01:02:40,139
Well, that didn't go well, did it?
1448
01:02:40,140 --> 01:02:42,539
I guess you don't really know
until you're under pressure,
1449
01:02:42,540 --> 01:02:43,779
what it's going to be like.
1450
01:02:43,780 --> 01:02:45,419
Uh...
1451
01:02:45,420 --> 01:02:46,939
I don't know what to say.
1452
01:02:46,940 --> 01:02:48,099
Hold on, hold on.
1453
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:49,339
Faultless.
1454
01:02:49,340 --> 01:02:52,979
Paul said he didn't like my cake
during cake week.
1455
01:02:52,980 --> 01:02:55,659
Staying in this competition now
would mean everything.
1456
01:02:55,660 --> 01:02:58,059
I need a lifeline. Throw me a bone.
1457
01:02:58,060 --> 01:03:03,099
{\an8}I'm just prepared for the worst
and if it happens, it happens.
1458
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:05,619
{\an8}Oh, my God, I don't want to get
filmed with tears in my eyes.
1459
01:03:05,620 --> 01:03:07,060
{\an8}So cringe, isn't it?
1460
01:03:10,347 --> 01:03:14,906
{\an5}Prue and Paul must now decide
who will be our first Star Baker
1461
01:03:14,907 --> 01:03:17,546
{\an5}and who will be leaving the tent.
1462
01:03:17,547 --> 01:03:20,026
That was amazing. I thought they
really came into their own.
1463
01:03:20,027 --> 01:03:21,786
Their personalities
started to come out.
1464
01:03:21,787 --> 01:03:23,186
When we walked into the room
1465
01:03:23,187 --> 01:03:26,026
it was just this sea of
amazing Show Stoppers.
1466
01:03:26,027 --> 01:03:28,746
My favourite is still the first one.
Michelle's cake. Michelle's.
1467
01:03:28,747 --> 01:03:31,186
She did OK in the Technical.
She did well in the Signature
1468
01:03:31,187 --> 01:03:34,426
but this has elevated her,
so she's up there or thereabouts.
1469
01:03:34,427 --> 01:03:37,026
I think Steph deserves a
mention up there as well.
1470
01:03:37,027 --> 01:03:38,426
Steph's cake was pretty good.
1471
01:03:38,427 --> 01:03:41,266
Third in Technical, she did pretty
well in the Signature too.
1472
01:03:41,267 --> 01:03:44,266
But Henry who had done brilliantly
in the Technical. Yeah.
1473
01:03:44,267 --> 01:03:45,386
Not so pleased?
1474
01:03:45,387 --> 01:03:47,266
Henry had a good day yesterday,
1475
01:03:47,267 --> 01:03:49,946
but today, he's not done so well.
No, he hasn't.
1476
01:03:49,947 --> 01:03:53,026
People, for me, who are in a little
bit of trouble, I have to say Jamie.
1477
01:03:53,027 --> 01:03:56,386
His Signature was good
but he was bottom of Technical.
1478
01:03:56,387 --> 01:03:58,386
Today he struggled with the
Show Stopper.
1479
01:03:58,387 --> 01:04:00,986
Dan, because I was trying to
hunt down the flavour,
1480
01:04:00,987 --> 01:04:02,906
although the design was pretty good.
1481
01:04:02,907 --> 01:04:05,426
You've had 13 pieces of cake,
are you all right?
1482
01:04:05,427 --> 01:04:07,347
No. Not quite.
1483
01:04:17,707 --> 01:04:18,826
Well done, bakers.
1484
01:04:18,827 --> 01:04:21,746
That is your first week in the tent
successfully completed.
1485
01:04:21,747 --> 01:04:24,066
Sigh of relief, I'm sure.
1486
01:04:24,067 --> 01:04:26,266
And I have to tell you, Paul
and Prue say the standard
1487
01:04:26,267 --> 01:04:28,626
has been incredibly high,
so well done.
1488
01:04:28,627 --> 01:04:32,906
I've got the fantastic
job of announcing Star Baker.
1489
01:04:32,907 --> 01:04:37,426
The person who is Star
Baker this week is...
1490
01:04:37,427 --> 01:04:38,466
Michelle.
1491
01:04:38,467 --> 01:04:40,946
Yes. Oh!
1492
01:04:40,947 --> 01:04:41,947
Woo!
1493
01:04:45,547 --> 01:04:47,746
Amazing. Thank you.
1494
01:04:47,747 --> 01:04:50,386
So that leaves me with the horrible
job of sending somebody home,
1495
01:04:50,387 --> 01:04:52,466
and I have to say, even
after the first week,
1496
01:04:52,467 --> 01:04:53,866
it is incredibly difficult.
1497
01:04:53,867 --> 01:04:57,147
But I'm afraid one of you has to
depart and that person is...
1498
01:05:06,547 --> 01:05:08,427
..Dan. I'm so sorry.
1499
01:05:09,707 --> 01:05:12,826
Hey, don't worry.
I know, mate. I know, mate.
1500
01:05:12,827 --> 01:05:14,267
I had a bad week.
1501
01:05:17,507 --> 01:05:20,666
Definitely I'll take away
the friendships.
1502
01:05:20,667 --> 01:05:22,826
What are we going to do without you?
1503
01:05:22,827 --> 01:05:26,626
Can't imagine how everyone's bonded.
It's so strange.
1504
01:05:26,627 --> 01:05:28,186
Oh, Dan! Aw!
1505
01:05:28,187 --> 01:05:29,986
He's such a beautiful man. Aw!
1506
01:05:29,987 --> 01:05:31,946
I'm not going to miss the
baking under pressure,
1507
01:05:31,947 --> 01:05:33,706
just going to miss
everybody in that tent.
1508
01:05:33,707 --> 01:05:36,066
Sorry, mate.
No, no, it's all right. Sorry.
1509
01:05:36,067 --> 01:05:38,186
He's a great baker, Dan,
but unfortunately,
1510
01:05:38,187 --> 01:05:39,866
it all boiled down to
his Signature Bake,
1511
01:05:39,867 --> 01:05:41,746
and it was that that was the
cause of him going.
1512
01:05:41,747 --> 01:05:44,626
Pick it up a bit, all right. Yeah,
yeah. It was really close.
1513
01:05:44,627 --> 01:05:45,986
I thought it was going to be me.
1514
01:05:45,987 --> 01:05:48,546
I'm looking forward to coming back
and almost starting again.
1515
01:05:48,547 --> 01:05:50,467
Convince people I can bake.
1516
01:05:51,787 --> 01:05:54,586
Yeah, but, when you come on and
you can't even bake a cake properly
1517
01:05:54,587 --> 01:05:55,906
doesn't look good, does it?
1518
01:05:55,907 --> 01:05:58,786
Oh, my God. You must be so pleased.
I can't get over it. I'm so shocked.
1519
01:05:58,787 --> 01:06:01,146
I never, ever thought
I'd actually get on the Bake Off.
1520
01:06:01,147 --> 01:06:04,147
So, to get Star Baker,
I'm just so proud.
1521
01:06:10,627 --> 01:06:12,626
I don't know what to say.
1522
01:06:12,627 --> 01:06:13,666
I'm just happy.
1523
01:06:13,667 --> 01:06:14,786
Well done, Michelle.
1524
01:06:14,787 --> 01:06:15,866
Thank you so much.
1525
01:06:15,867 --> 01:06:17,546
I want the recipe, please.
Oh, thank you.
1526
01:06:17,547 --> 01:06:20,826
You know, this is the tenth
anniversary of Bake Off
1527
01:06:20,827 --> 01:06:22,506
and what a way to start.
1528
01:06:22,507 --> 01:06:26,066
That Show Stopper was pretty well
the best cake I've ever eaten.
1529
01:06:26,067 --> 01:06:28,266
I've got something to tell you.
Yeah?
1530
01:06:28,267 --> 01:06:30,746
I'm still in. Yes!
1531
01:06:30,747 --> 01:06:35,146
And, uh, Prue Leith wants my carrot
cake recipe. Michelle!
1532
01:06:35,147 --> 01:06:37,546
Uh, and I'm Star Baker.
1533
01:06:37,547 --> 01:06:40,906
Oh, my God!
1534
01:06:40,907 --> 01:06:43,546
I couldn't be prouder. Do you know
what, I knew you could do it.
1535
01:06:43,547 --> 01:06:45,786
I've had a cry as well.
1536
01:06:45,787 --> 01:06:47,867
Yeah, I'm close to that as well.
1537
01:06:49,467 --> 01:06:53,306
Group hug, group hug, group hug, get
'em in. Get 'em in.
1538
01:06:53,307 --> 01:06:54,947
Aw!
1539
01:06:57,147 --> 01:06:58,426
Next time...
1540
01:06:58,427 --> 01:07:00,826
Ooh. ..we're baking biscuits.
1541
01:07:00,827 --> 01:07:02,026
Praying.
1542
01:07:02,027 --> 01:07:05,306
..with a Signature Bake completely
covered in chocolate...
1543
01:07:05,307 --> 01:07:06,346
Oh!
1544
01:07:06,347 --> 01:07:08,306
..a classic old school Technical...
1545
01:07:08,307 --> 01:07:10,426
Doesn't look very appealing,
does it?
1546
01:07:10,427 --> 01:07:13,666
..and the most intricately detailed
giant biscuit sculptures
1547
01:07:13,667 --> 01:07:15,906
the Bake Off has ever seen.
1548
01:07:15,907 --> 01:07:17,706
I'm making an organ.
1549
01:07:17,707 --> 01:07:19,946
But who will be our second
Star Baker...
1550
01:07:19,947 --> 01:07:21,266
No pressure at all.
1551
01:07:21,267 --> 01:07:22,586
..and whose Bake Off...
1552
01:07:22,587 --> 01:07:23,866
Oh, it's off.
1553
01:07:23,867 --> 01:07:25,026
..is about to crumble?
1554
01:07:25,027 --> 01:07:26,586
It's getting stickier and stickier.
1555
01:07:26,587 --> 01:07:28,866
I still kind if can't feel
that I can do it.
1556
01:07:28,867 --> 01:07:30,467
No!
1557
01:07:49,987 --> 01:07:51,187
