- Pure sugar meets sheer terror as the bakers tackle caramel week. Pretty tarts, perfect biscuit bars, and sweet spectacles enclosed in spheres show off caramels delight and danger.
- The bakers are a little nervous about this being Caramel Week if only because it can be a temperamental ingredient in going from crystallized to burnt in a flash, and it being totally different than any week thus far. They have two and a half hours for the signature each to make a shareable caramel tart in any style and with any additional flavorings they want, they needing to keep in mind that caramel should be the star of the show, yet still not overly sweet in the overall final product. They have ninety minutes for the technical, each to make ten chocolate covered caramel bars with a shortbread base. As it is what Paul considers a relatively simple recipe, he is expecting perfection. And they have four and a half hours for the showstopper, each to make a caramel dessert of their choice, it which must have at least one baked element and two caramel elements, it all finished by being encased in a caramel dome or cage. In the most temperamental item of the dome, the judges want it to be translucent to be able to see the dessert inside, which means as thin a layer of whatever material they choose to use, the dome more fragile the thinner it is. One baker literally turns the challenge upside down on its head, which may be a risk in working slightly outside of the brief.—Huggo
