- The new batch of bakers' first Signature challenge is a fruit cake. The Technical challenge is set by Prue, chocolate mini-rolls. For the Showstopper, the bakers must create an illusion.
- The twelve bakers new to the tent this season initially not only have to contend with the unknown of the pressure in the tent, but also the criticism of one new judge in Prue Leith, a fifty year veteran in the baking industry but who may provide a different perspective than what they already expect from returning judge Paul. For their first challenge, the signature, each baker will make a family-sized cake that will have as its main characteristic some kind of fresh fruit. They will have to contend with how the moisture from said fruit will affect the texture of their sponge. For their second bake, the technical, most are taken back to their childhood in being asked to make twelve mini chocolate rolls, although most admit never having made them in only knowing the prepackaged variety. The final bake of the weekend, the showstopper, has the bakers each making an illusion cake: the cake resembling something totally different than cake. The sponge itself must be the same all through their piece, all decorations must be edible, and the illusion itself must be to scale. What Prue states to the camera is her want for the piece not to be style over substance, meaning that the cake must taste good first and foremost.—Huggo
