- This week, our contestants bake desserts.
- From last week's manhandling of yeast doughs, the bakers now move onto the more delicate art of making desserts. For the signature challenge, they are each asked to make their favorite trifle, with what Mary and Paul wanting to see being defined layers of whatever they decide to incorporate. Mary and Paul are using this challenge to see if the bakers can multi-task in the kitchen as they have to make all the component parts simultaneously. In addition, Mel learns about the transformation the now humble trifle made from what was originally a dessert of the aristocracy during Georgian times, and the addition of what most now would consider the unappetizing jelly made from calves feet. For the technical challenge, the bakers will be staying with the cream and custard theme in making îles flottantes - translated as floating islands - six poached meringues in a sea of crème Anglaise, while also needing to accessorize with a spun sugar topping. For the showstopper challenge, the bakers will be making twenty-four petit fours, twelve biscuit based and twelve sponge based. And for the second week in a row, one specific baker, i.e. the same baker as last week, is the victim of an issue not of his own doing, while the Bake Off has a first, namely of baker "theft".—Huggo
