Over the ten weeks this season, Mary and Paul issued thirty challenges to the contestants - ten signatures, ten technicals, and ten showstoppers - some resulting in success, some in failure, and some which showed them new baking techniques from these amateur bakers which they will incorporate into their own skill set. But in this first of four masterclasses for season 4, they will demonstrate how to make four of their favorite recipes from weeks 1 and 2, cakes and breads. Mary makes a spiced citrus sandwich cake filled with orange buttercream, and an angel food cake with lemon and passion fruit curd, Paul makes olive-filled bread sticks, and English muffins, while they both give their take on week 1's showstopper of a chocolate cake. As an extra, Mary shows how to make two-tone piped icing rosettes.
