1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,880
Hello, viewer. Welcome to our
first-ever Halloween week.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,920
Ewww!

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,760
Oh, wow. Look at that.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,720
Ew, the witch's hair.
Ooh, that nose.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Oh. Is that prosthetics or CGI?

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,360
I haven't been to make-up yet.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,440
Welcome to The Great British
Bake Off.

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,160
Should I go and look for
another job now? Yes.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,400
Last time, the bakers
tackled demanding desserts...

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,440
Oh, my God! You know, desserts
backwards is stressed. And I am.

11
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,320
...and while Sandro was on top
of the world... Wow!

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Look at that. It is astonishing.

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,160
...Syabira struggled with flavours.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,680
It tastes a bit fake. But Carole's
puddings collapsed...

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,280
Oh, what a disaster!

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,760
...and her time in the tent
was up. Oh! That's all right.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,440
This time... Woooo!
...it's Halloween week...

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,280
Hold your breath. ..with a
spine-chilling signature...

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,040
This witch has eyeliner problem.
I'm scared.

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,320
...that's all about apples.

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,200
It's like a cauldron. I'll just
don't want to ruin my make-up.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,760
Goodness! A terrifying technical...

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,400
So sticky. ..that has the bakers
feeling the heat.

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Is this one on fire?!
Ah! Too much!

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,360
No, no! They're all burning.

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,640
Wow!

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,280
And a showstopper...

28
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,160
I don't know whether to be shocked
or turned on.

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,560
I don't know what's going on here.

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,000
It's falling apart.

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,600
...that's sure to cause nightmares.

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080
It's not going to hang.
Just breathe, breathe.

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Happy Halloween!

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,400
Yeah, I'm excited about this week.

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Gives us a bit more opportunity
to be more creative.

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,880
The more revolting, the better,
you know?

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,320
Do you know what? I think my bakes
are quite cute, so I don't think

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,600
they'll frighten them. If I get put
out and I need to do my leaving

39
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,000
speech in this shirt,
I'll be well annoyed.

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,080
Bakers, welcome back to the tent
for Halloween week.

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Yes! How do you like them apples?

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Well, quite a lot, I hope, because
for your Signature Challenge,

43
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,640
the judges would like you each
to bake an exquisitely

44
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,520
decorated apple cake.

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Apples have been intertwined
with Halloween throughout history.

46
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,720
How so, Noel? Well, in the olden
days, peasants were put

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,840
in a bucket and a giant apple
would turn up

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,520
and try and pull them out
the bucket with its teeth.

49
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Have you been reading books
upside down again?

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,280
Possibly. You can use any type of
sponge you like,

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,720
but your hero ingredient must be
fresh apple.

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,640
You have two spooky hours.
On your marks...

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,680
...get set... Boo!

54
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,240
I love Halloween. Love trick or
treating, love dressing up.

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,040
It's an opportunity to be
a big kid again.

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,400
MIMICS MACHINE WHIRRING

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,240
This is Halloween week.

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Obviously, Halloween we think
of dunking apples, etc,

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,000
so we want to celebrate the apple.

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,360
We want the apple to be the hero
in this cake.

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640
That is how many apples we've got.

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,160
I need to stick some spices in
there, so cinnamon sticks.

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Things like cinnamon go
so beautifully with apples,

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,560
but I do think the bakers
have to be careful because we want

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,800
the dominant flavour to be apple.

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,760
Ultimately, we want an apple cake,
not, and I stress not, an apple

67
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,720
pudding, trifle or an apple dessert.

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,680
I really want to see at the end
of this challenge an apple cake

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,120
that, A, looks amazing and, B,
tastes of apples.

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Hi, Janusz. Hello. Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween.

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680
I've decided to dress as Noel,
but I'm going to call

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
myself Not Fielding.

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,040
So I'm baking in heels today.

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Look at those!

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,120
I like the eye make-up too.
Thank you.

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Yeah. Big shout to Syabira.
She's done it.

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,720
Right. Tell us all about your apple
cake. What are you doing?

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
I've decided to make something my
mum would make when I was a child.

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,520
MATT: Janusz' mum's apple cake
celebrates two varieties -

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,160
{\an8}sharp Coxes flavour the sponge
and sweet pinks in the buttercream,

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,040
{\an8}both spiced to bring Halloween heat.

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,800
JANUSZ: I'm putting ginger,
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg

83
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,040
and allspice.

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,880
I want my spices to be
recognisable, but not to kill the apple.

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,440
OK, well, good luck.
Thank you very much. Thank you.

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,320
This is chilli.
It's Halloween.

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,760
You need something spicy.

88
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
After failing to impress with
flavour last week,

89
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,720
Syabira plans to wow with a cake
inspired by her favourite

90
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Malaysian dessert.

91
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Asam boi, which is a sour plum,
and also chilli.

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
So I'm actually trying to bring
that flavour together.

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,880
{\an8}She'll spread sour plum and chilli
cream cheese icing and Bramley apple

94
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,200
{\an8}crumble between layers of apple
sponge to create a giant

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,600
apple-shaped cake.

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,760
It's going to be red

97
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,040
and then it has witch eyes
and a hat.

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,520
PRUE: A witch's hat. Wow.

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,680
This is a very ambitious thing. Are
you going to finish it in time?

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480
SYABIRA: Yes, I will. Good luck.
Bonkers. Sounds like you.

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,720
It's going to be great. Good luck.
Witchy apple.

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960
While Syabira's putting on a spooky spectacle...

103
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880
Woooo!

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Woooo! Did I scare you?

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Yes. Oh, good.

106
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320
...Maxy's apple cake is somewhat
more traditional.

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,680
It's apple and walnuts
with cream cheese frosting.

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,360
Is that cream cheese frosting
or is it SCREAM cheese frosting?

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,160
{\an8}Her classic cake features layers
of spiced apple and walnut sponge

110
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,840
{\an8}filled with cream cheese frosting,
apple puree and salted caramel,

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,520
elegantly decorated with fresh
apple and whole walnuts.

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,200
I don't love walnuts. Why?

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Looks like monkey brain.

114
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,320
Don't think it's a bad thing.

115
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,200
You like eating brains, do you?
No. It's a bit Halloweeny.

116
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,840
SHE LAUGHS

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,240
I am using Bramley apples.

118
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,600
I think when it's cooked, I think
it tastes more apple than any other apple.

119
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Whatever variety the bakers choose...

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240
I have Granny Smith
and pink apple,

121
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,880
so it has a sourness to it
and a sweetness.

122
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
...how it's incorporated is critical

123
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,240
to achieving the perfectly even
distribution the judges expect.

124
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,440
I'm going for chunks and, of course,
if I grate some of them,

125
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,000
they will kind of like melt.

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360
Initially, I wanted to chop my
apples and put them in,

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360
but grating the apples releases
the flavour.

128
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,240
This is the Granny Smith
going all the way through the cake.

129
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,320
It's very light, this cake,

130
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,000
so the apples have a tendency
to end up at the bottom.

131
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,520
{\an8}Dawn will attempt to suspend
her sliced apple within a fragile,

132
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,480
{\an8}fat-free sharlotka whisked sponge
and her toffee apple decorations

133
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960
will be soaked in blood orange juice
for extra creepy colour.

134
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,880
Are you a big Halloween fan?

135
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040
I do like Halloween, yes. It's good.
What you do for Halloween?

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,520
Creepy baking. Yeah.
And what...

137
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,640
SHOUTS: Matt, what are you doing?
Whoa!

138
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,040
Oh, he's scary enough anyway.

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,240
He doesn't need to creep around.

140
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,680
I'm trying to be speedy as possible
because my sponge is baked for

141
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,480
40 minutes, which is quite a while.

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,360
The addition of fresh fruit
to their batter increases

143
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,160
the moisture content,
meaning a longer bake.

144
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280
The clock's ticking. So the quicker
they can get them in the oven,

145
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,600
the more time their sponges
will have to cool.

146
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,160
Got a broken wing!

147
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280
I can't use this arm!
Right. Going in now.

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Any attempt to assemble
and decorate when warm,

149
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,080
could result in catastrophe.

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160
The cakes are in for about
40 minutes. We're right on time.

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,880
But Kevin's cake isn't ready
to bake.

152
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Yeah, I'm making a streusel cake,
so each sponge will have chunks

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,880
of apple and streusel on top.

154
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,520
So there's actually quite a lot
to do before I get it in the oven.

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,160
{\an8}Kevin will fill his streusel-topped
sponges with cream cheese frosting

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,560
{\an8}and top his cake with apples poached
in spiced cider and caramel shards.

157
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Do you know, it sounds
so delicious.

158
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,560
The crunchy strudel
and this sponge.

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
We should start a band called
The Crunchy Streusels.

160
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Crunchy
Streusels. I want to be in that.

161
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,880
It feels like a jazz trio.

162
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,040
MIMICS A TRUMPET

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Bakers, you are halfway through!

164
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Sorry I'm late.

165
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Oh, right, I see what's going on. Fine.

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,480
I-I actually thought this was Noel.

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,640
A bit behind. HUMMING

168
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760
So that's the sponges finally in.
They'll get 30 minutes.

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,080
So I just hope I've got time
to decorate.

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,160
While Kevin plays catch up,

171
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,640
the rest of the bakers press
on with fillings and toppings.

172
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:37,200
Apple spiced buttercream.

173
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,840
It's like a cauldron. I just don't
want to ruin my make-up.

174
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,720
Not only must every element
work in harmony...

175
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,360
I really love caramel
with apple cake.

176
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,680
...it's crucial nothing overpowers
the flavour of their apple.

177
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,480
Sour plum and chilli.

178
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,480
It's a risky business, putting
flavourings. Wicked.

179
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,760
But in his bid for a second
straight Star Baker crown...

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,360
I'm using cinnamon whisky.

181
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400
...it's a risk Sandro's embracing.

182
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000
These are just going to stick
in the, in the sponge.

183
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,240
{\an8}He'll cover his cake with

184
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,720
{\an8}caramel glaze, spiced apple and
walnut crumble.

185
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,480
{\an8}And in case his whisky transfusion
isn't terrifying enough, a crystal

186
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840
sugar skull will sit glaring
from the top.

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Is this is my death mask?
And then this...

188
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,920
This is your skull right here.

189
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,200
PRUE: I'm worried about the weight
of that skull.

190
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,880
SANDRO: I think he'll be fine.
I'm not adding any more to it.

191
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,760
Abdul's also going all out with his
decorations. So, I'm making,

192
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,080
basically a bonfire cake.

193
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Logs that are going to be made out
of apple dipped in chocolate

194
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,240
and caramel shards represent fire.

195
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480
{\an8}Hoping to set the judges'
hearts alight,

196
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,000
{\an8}his bonfire cakes contain apple
and almond sponge, cream cheese

197
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,640
frosting and almond streusel,

198
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,560
all wrapped in a delicate
piped chocolate collar.

199
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,000
Abdul, you've come as, what,
scary Nasa?

200
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Yes!

201
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,080
I'm a rogue astronaut.

202
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,760
What's your favourite costume?

203
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,600
If I really want to scare people and
make them unnerved, I would dress

204
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,920
as Paul Hollywood.

205
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Well, they look ready.

206
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,160
OK, go.

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,320
You can't hear any sound
of it cooking.

208
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,600
It's cooked. The quicker
the cakes are out of the oven...

209
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,160
I will cool it for 15 minutes.
...the longer they'll have to chill

210
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,840
before assembly starts.

211
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,160
I'm literally waiting for the cakes to
cool, so I can start working on them.

212
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,360
But Kevin's are still baking.

213
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,360
The sponges need to be
completely cool,

214
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,040
otherwise the icing will just
melt out the sides.

215
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,720
SINISTER LAUGHTER

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Bakers, you have half an hour left.

217
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,840
I think you've got a spider in your
hair. Really? Yeah.

218
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,720
I'll just... get it out.

219
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Thanks. There you go.

220
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Righty-ho! Should be ready.

221
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Hold your breath.

222
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,640
It's very light, this cake.

223
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,920
It's a bit broken there.

224
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,320
I am frosting it.

225
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,560
Yep. Cake's out.

226
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,880
Just not sure if they're going
to be cool enough.

227
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,200
Caramel glaze.

228
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,480
This is apple crumble filling
and the sponge.

229
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:07,040
This is incredibly fragile.

230
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,920
SINGSONG: I don't think it's going
to be cold enough.

231
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440
Are you a big trick of treater?
Of course.

232
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,680
Who do you like to dress up as?
WHISPERS: A pregnant nun.

233
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,040
A pregnant nun?! That is correct.

234
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Do you get a lot of interest
from guys?

235
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Yeah, especially from monks.

236
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,800
The feast of Halloween.
Witch apple.

237
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,560
I can't go back now.

238
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,320
Either they like it or they don't.

239
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,920
How long, really, can I get away
with leaving for icing?

240
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Maybe five minutes.

241
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Bakers, you have five minutes left.

242
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,200
Maybe I can do it in three minutes.

243
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,440
Dipping apples very quickly
in caramel.

244
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Got our caramel, as well, going
on the top. Chocolate trees,

245
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,600
you have to handle it delicately
or it can just break apart.

246
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Oh, man down! I know how to make
it look scarier.

247
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,760
I'm always doing this in the last
few minutes.

248
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Oops! Almost dropping an orange on
top of my cake!

249
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,120
That is my chocolate drip.

250
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800
This is my skull.
I frickin' like it.

251
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,000
It's just so stressful.
How are we doing for time?

252
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800
One minute left.

253
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,480
Oh, man alive!

254
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,360
This witch has eyeliner problems.

255
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,920
It's just not even.

256
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Definitely learnt not to rush.

257
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,920
You want it to look nice
and neat. Add the... Yes!

258
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,520
I'm happy.

259
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:34,040
Bakers, your time is up.

260
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,480
Looking around the room, I can see
really lovely cakes, and it's like,

261
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,160
oh, is mine too simple?

262
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,000
That's so good!
I didn't make enough trees.

263
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Oh, they're lovely, though.

264
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:53,760
{\an8}Even that wee heat is enough
to melt your icing.

265
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,760
{\an8}The bakers' apple cakes now face
the judgment of Paul and Prue.

266
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640
{\an8}Hi, Sandro. Hello.

267
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,440
I'm going to take that off a second.

268
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,680
I mean, I know it's Halloween,
but I really think that skull

269
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,520
ruins your cake.
Oh, really? OK.

270
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:21,200
It's such a beautiful shape and you
plonk a great big skull on top.

271
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,240
What's in this?
It's a cinnamon whisky.

272
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,880
That's really got whisky in it.

273
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,280
Even for me, I don't think
I'd put any more in.

274
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Maybe I will. Why not?

275
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Why change the habit of a lifetime?

276
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,360
I made a spiced apple sponge.

277
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,160
It's a lovely, moist sponge.

278
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,040
It's an amazing spice cake pudding.

279
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,880
It is. But apple?

280
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,200
Not really. No?

281
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440
For me, it's not appley enough.

282
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,840
OK.

283
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,640
Well, I can see
it's a bonfire.

284
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,000
I like the trees.

285
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,280
It's quite effective. But the
caramel shards are a bit thick.

286
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,840
OK. I put grated apples
in there and almond streusel.

287
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Good streusel.
Good texture.

288
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,480
I think it's a really good cake. You
have the whole apples in there,

289
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,720
which do taste of apple,
with, actually, a beautifully moist sponge.

290
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,280
I think you did really well.

291
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,600
Thank you.

292
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,480
{\an8}The sponges are made with
Cox apples

293
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
and then the buttercream
is pink apples with spices.

294
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,120
I'm not getting any apple flavour.

295
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,320
I am getting the spices.

296
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,120
It's a shame because I think
the sponge is lovely.

297
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,400
And you know what? The texture of
the buttercream is lovely.

298
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,120
I love the idea of the puree, but
again, the spices have killed it.

299
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,600
If this was a spice cake
challenge, you'd win it.

300
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Misses the brief. Yeah.
Well, it misses the apple.

301
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Yeah! Thank you, Noel. Thank you.
Er, Janusz.

302
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,720
{\an8}It's a very light sponge.

303
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720
I put some toffee apples
and some whipped cream on top

304
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,360
and it sunk a bit, yes.
I'd say quite a bit.

305
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Yes, quite a lot.
How did you put the apple in here?

306
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160
I put a layer of apple, another
layer of apple to distribute it.

307
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,960
I'm not getting a lot of apple. OK.

308
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Got it down at the bottom.

309
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,120
I actually really like the apple
on the top!

310
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840
Toffee apples are so powerful,
they make the rest

311
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,560
of the cake rather dull. OK.

312
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120
It does look a bit of a mess.
I promised a lot.

313
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,000
You did it, obviously,
when it was warm.

314
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,120
That's the reaction between
cream cheese and the hot cake,

315
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,920
and it just pours out.
It's like lava. Yeah. Yeah.

316
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,320
So tell us about your apple cake.

317
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,600
Well, it's an apple streusel cake
flavoured with almond.

318
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,960
Apples are beautiful in it with
the almond, especially with cream.

319
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,240
Yeah. It tastes amazing.

320
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,960
It's a bit like a trifle.

321
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,360
Just delicious, isn't it?

322
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,440
But we wanted a cake, not a pudding.

323
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,400
{\an8}If I'd walked into a room and saw
that, I'd know that was your cake.

324
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,080
It's got Maxy written all over it.

325
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,480
I mean, it is neat as a pin.

326
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920
I love the decoration on the top,
the little apple strips. Thank you.

327
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,840
So I've made a apple and walnut
cake, and I've topped the top layer

328
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,000
with some caramel.

329
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,800
I think that's a really good cake.

330
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,120
Really good. Thank you. The apple
comes through beautifully.

331
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Walnut is that texture at the end.

332
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,440
I think you've done the apple
justice, actually.

333
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Well done. Oh, my God. Thank you.
Thank you so much.

334
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,680
Thank you. Well done, Maxy.

335
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,200
WHISPERS: Well done. Thank you.

336
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,720
{\an8}I'm not sure about the face.

337
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,840
It's sort of gone all over
the place, innit?

338
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,400
I love the face. I mean, for
heaven's sake, it's a witch,

339
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,720
of course she can be crooked.
It has eyeliner problems today.

340
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Yeah! It's a hot day.

341
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,480
This is my favourite snack of
apples, sour plum and chilli.

342
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,800
I love it.

343
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,640
Really powerful flavours.

344
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,120
Sour plum is perfect.

345
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,960
The cake is beautiful.
And it's so light.

346
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,960
I was going to say I didn't get
the chilli. It's just come in.

347
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,440
I'm not sure about the face, nevertheless...

348
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,400
Oh, thank you! Oh, I'm glad.

349
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,880
I enjoyed that. I think
you deserve that.

350
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,680
Chilli is the thing that gets me.

351
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,280
It's a real triumph.
The flavour's back!

352
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,400
Well done. Thank you.

353
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,320
I'm very pleased.
First, the handshake

354
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,560
and they said my flavour is back!

355
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:38,040
I just feel super, super happy.

356
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,360
I'm over the moon.

357
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,120
Yes, you did, you got one!

358
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,840
I'm pleased for Maxi and Syabira.
Syabira's first handshake.

359
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,880
It's just a shame.

360
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,400
Apart from the obvious
construction issue,

361
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,200
they had a lot of nice things
to say about it,

362
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,720
which was really sweet of them.

363
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,400
I don't think it was a disastrous
judging, but I'm really worried

364
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,040
that at this stage,
you really need to nail it

365
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,280
and I didn't.

366
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,440
And my technicals have been very up
and down, so I've got to throw

367
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,840
everything at this.

368
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,280
While the bakers were able
to practise their signatures,

369
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,160
their next challenge
is a total mystery.

370
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,360
Bakers, it's time for your Halloween
Technical Challenge, which today

371
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,240
has been set by Paul.

372
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,200
Paul, any words of advice?

373
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,960
But please say them
in your scariest voice.

374
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,680
HIS NORMAL VOICE: There are two...
Ah! It's too scary!

375
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,520
There are two very distinctive
textures you have to get right

376
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,720
in this recipe and allow
time for setting.

377
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,480
You have to figure that one
out yourself.

378
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,920
As ever, the Technical Challenge
will be judged blind.

379
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,840
So we're going to have to ask
Freddy Prueger and Paultergeist

380
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,200
to leave the tent.

381
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,120
For your Technical Challenge,

382
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,560
Paul would like you each to make
eight s'mores, the kind of sweet

383
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,440
treat you might have round
a campfire

384
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,040
while telling scary stories.

385
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Your s'mores should have
a gooey toasted marshmallow

386
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,480
and a creamy dark chocolate ganache

387
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,600
sandwiched between
two digestive biscuits.

388
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,920
No more instructions, please!
It's too scary!

389
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,160
You OK? Yeah, I'm fine.

390
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,920
I'm gonna tell them
how long they've got.

391
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,240
You gonna be fine with this?
Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

392
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600
You have two hours. On your marks...
Get set...

393
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,200
MATT SQUEALS

394
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,720
...bake?

395
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,120
Goodness.

396
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,080
S'mores. Shmores... schmorshs?

397
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,600
All righty. S'mores, they're
a distinctly American confection.

398
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,040
I've never had one, but
I've seen it in the movies.

399
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,600
I've never made marshmallows
or digestives.

400
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,760
I'm completely lost!

401
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,800
So, Paul. S'mores.
It's a great challenge, actually.

402
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,080
And the reason why I said about
the two contrasting textures

403
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,200
is obviously the marshmallow
and then the actual biscuit itself.

404
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,200
The biscuit's
straightforward enough.

405
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,800
It's about rubbing all the dry
ingredients with the butter,

406
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,880
adding the liquid,
bringing it together.

407
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,080
The next thing is obviously
the marshmallow,

408
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:03,480
which is basically
whipped Italian meringue.

409
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,680
You've got to add gelatine.

410
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000
The key thing is, once you've added
the gelatine, is leaving it to set.

411
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,400
Now, if they don't,
the whole thing could collapse.

412
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,960
We want it to be
as neat as possible.

413
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,680
We want the chocolate in there
as well.

414
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,560
Not too much, you don't want it
flooding down the side.

415
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,280
But then you want this blowtorch

416
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,400
around the outside of
the marshmallow.

417
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,160
Now, they could go wrong with this,

418
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,840
because if they add too much heat,
it's going to melt.

419
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,080
So very lightly.
And it just looks beautiful.

420
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:30,120
Ultimately, you're meant
to eat it like this.

421
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,240
I don't know that I can.
You get absolutely covered

422
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
in chocolate, marshmallow and
a little bit of crumbs of biscuit.

423
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,040
I think it's lovely. It is.
But hold back.

424
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,360
We've got another seven
to try in there.

425
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600
First I need to make
the biscuit dough and chill.

426
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,240
I have made digestive biscuits
before, but...

427
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,760
No, you just buy them.

428
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,320
I'm just looking for
a biscuit dough,

429
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,640
something that holds together
and isn't too crumbly,

430
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,440
so that when I roll out,
it will still hold its shape.

431
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Hello. Hello!

432
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,480
Did you get a handshake?

433
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,760
I did.

434
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,360
Right hand, I haven't washed it
since then. Can I touch it?

435
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480
No! Aaaah!

436
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,080
I need some of that power.

437
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,280
That Paul power?
What did it feel like?

438
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,080
I was surprised. Did you look into
his eyes when he shook your hand?

439
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,920
No, I didn't, I was just like,
"Thank you!"

440
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,400
I'm more happy because they said
my flavours is back, so...

441
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,680
Wow.

442
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,480
I think this is about right.

443
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,840
Dough is done
and I'm going to chill it.

444
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,680
Right. I'm going to crack on
with the marshmallow now.

445
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Marshmallows are really
just an Italian meringue.

446
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,440
I'm guessing it's with gelatine.

447
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,000
I don't really know how to make it.

448
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,200
Whip your egg whites,
add hot sugar,

449
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,760
keep on whipping. Done.

450
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,600
Are you a fan of s'mores?

451
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,080
I've never had a s'more.

452
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,480
Too sweet for me.

453
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040
I know the sweetest thing
I've ever eaten. Yeah?

454
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,520
When I was a little kid,

455
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,080
my mum had sweeteners
that you put in your coffee,

456
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,320
and I ate a couple of those. Ooh!

457
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,880
All my hair fell out. Are...

458
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,240
KEVIN GIGGLES

459
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,480
Stiff peaks. I think we're there.

460
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,480
I need to bloom the gelatine.

461
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480
Gelatine is key to
the marshmallow structure.

462
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Let's hope this works.

463
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:07,320
But adding it at the right time
is crucial.

464
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,960
I'm not going to put the syrup
inside the meringue.

465
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Unless their gelatine is
dissolved completely,

466
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,480
the bakers could end up with
a marshmallow monstrosity.

467
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,680
Oh, shoot!

468
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,040
I forgot my gelatine.

469
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Did I forget something?

470
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,400
I feel like
I've forgotten something.

471
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,160
I forgot to put gelatine in there.
Damn!

472
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,640
I forgot to put the gelatine in!

473
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,040
What happens now?

474
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,680
I was going to put it in the syrup.

475
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,160
I don't know if I've ruined it.

476
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,560
Hello, Dawn of the Dead.

477
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,520
You all right?
Did you get a handshake?

478
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520
No! Made good toffee apples,
though, apparently.

479
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,480
But the cake was rubbish.
I love toffee apple.

480
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Dentist's nightmare, though, the
toffee apple, innit? Oh, God, yeah.

481
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,120
That's why I've got
so many fillings.

482
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,800
I've got fillings that go
right down my back tooth

483
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,320
and all down one leg.

484
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,440
Really? Yeah. That's impressive.

485
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Into my long toe. That's very good.
That's very impressive, I must say.

486
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Which is my second toe,
because I'm an amphibian.

487
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,160
I think we're just about there.
Righty-ho! That's setting.

488
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,960
Looks nice and bouncy.

489
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
I don't know what I'm looking for,
to be honest.

490
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,520
I'm just going to stick with it.

491
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,640
Next, I'm going to roll out
biscuit dough.

492
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,480
I'm quite pleased with my dough.

493
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,960
We're looking for
16 of these bad boys.

494
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,080
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight...

495
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,440
They're all sticking to the paper.
I'll re-roll it.

496
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,960
Oh, what a mess.

497
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,880
Now the stamping will be fun.

498
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,120
It's very delicate.

499
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,440
They're all different shapes.
But, you know, it'll be fine.

500
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,760
That one can be hidden
at the bottom.

501
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,480
Let me bake them. The instructions
doesn't say how long.

502
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,040
Good luck, biscuits. Do me proud.

503
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Noel, are you OK?
Yeah. My gerbil died.

504
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,880
I'm so sorry to hear that. It's not
that, I'm not bothered about that.

505
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,720
It's just, he's haunting me.
Ooh!

506
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,960
Aww... Hello!

507
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Ow! Still bites.

508
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:51,600
Bakers, you are halfway through.
What?!

509
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Oh, my goodness.

510
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,040
What am I doing? Ganache, ganache.

511
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Classic ganache is half and half.

512
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,840
So it's half double cream
and half chocolate.

513
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,600
The ganache should be set,
not a watery ganache.

514
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,920
So it needs time to be
in the fridge.

515
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,880
Oh, it's so liquidy.

516
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,920
Pop that in the fridge for a minute.

517
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,800
What's going on with these biscuits?

518
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,000
So looking a bit pale and squidgy.

519
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,520
Just a bit more, I think.

520
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,480
Paul's gonna say
it's not golden enough.

521
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,200
I'm trying to get it
more to his tan,

522
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,240
so I'm just going to give it
another two minutes.

523
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Think they're ready. Yeah.

524
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,840
I feel like they are digestive-y
biscuits.

525
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,200
These are just starting
to go golden around the edges.

526
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,480
I think that's the sweet spot.

527
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320
They could have been more uniform.
They're looking pretty good.

528
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:36,000
Have you made digestives before?

529
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,080
No. This is the first time
I'm making them.

530
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:39,400
I mean, they're so cheap.

531
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560
You're just like,
"hmm, I'll just go buy it."

532
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,520
There's your passion as a baker
coming out!

533
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Bakers, you have 15 minutes left.

534
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,040
Oh, my goodness.

535
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,360
Panic, panic.

536
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Turn the marshmallow out.
Cut out eight rounds of marshmallow.

537
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,400
My marshmallow is definitely wrong.

538
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,480
It's not as stable as it should be.

539
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,120
It's set from the outside,
but I think from the inside,

540
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720
it's still very wet and sticky.

541
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,320
Hmm...
SIGHS

542
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:06,880
Risky.

543
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,320
SIGHS SHARPLY

544
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,160
I'm going to get it done in time
if it kills me.

545
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,640
Um... This isn't easy.

546
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,080
So sticky.
Come on, baby. Get out.

547
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:18,960
This ain't looking too pretty!

548
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,560
Chocolate...

549
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,240
It's assembly time.

550
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,240
I'm just giving the ganache
a bit of a spread.

551
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,200
I wish I'd set the chocolate first.

552
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,480
They did the right thing by cooling
theirs cos my one's quite... soft.

553
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Hoo...

554
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Oh, no, no!

555
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,160
It's a pain in the ass to assemble.

556
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,520
They don't like mess.

557
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,440
That one's not great.
They're just not looking uniform.

558
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,640
Bakers, you have one minute left.

559
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,680
OK. I have to be careful now.

560
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,240
I'm looking for a golden colour.

561
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,120
Is this one on fire?!

562
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,120
Doing a bit of touch-up.

563
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,320
Ah, too much!

564
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,320
No, no! They're all burning.

565
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,360
This just don't stop dripping.

566
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,040
I wish I'd set my ganache.

567
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,520
No! Why are you
doing this to me, man?

568
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
Bakers, your time is up.

569
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,360
Not bad.

570
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
A mess is what this is.

571
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Please bring your s'mores
down to the gingham table

572
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,000
and place them
behind your photograph.

573
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Thank God it's over.
I think I've cooked it too much.

574
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,920
Paul and Prue are looking for
eight s'mores

575
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,720
with crisp digestive biscuits,

576
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,600
silky chocolate ganache,

577
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,120
and a beautifully toasted
marshmallow centre.

578
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,680
They have no idea whose are whose.

579
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,040
We'll start with this one.

580
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Straight off,
lost the definition in the biscuit.

581
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,080
Yeah.

582
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,360
I like the biscuit.

583
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,320
But the marshmallow does melt
a little bit too readily.

584
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,840
It's more meringue than marshmallow.

585
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,320
OK. Moving onto this one.

586
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,040
Nice bit of colour on that biscuit.

587
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,200
I think they look nice, too.

588
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,400
I like the way it's torched.

589
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
This has got much more definition
on the biscuit.

590
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,160
And it's got a little bit more chew.

591
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,280
A little bit more goo
to the marshmallow as well.

592
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Moving on. Bit all over the place.

593
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:04,680
Colour looks a bit light as well.

594
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,080
They're not identical, are they?
No, they're not.

595
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,080
It's a bit rubbery, that biscuit.

596
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:13,720
Marshmallow is too soft, and the
biscuits also are slightly too soft.

597
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,640
It is.
This is definitely chocolate drips,

598
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,880
which we didn't intend.

599
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,080
No, the chocolate
has gone everywhere.

600
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:21,600
All down the side.

601
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,960
The biscuit's all right.

602
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,480
It's very soft marshmallow.

603
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,280
It disappears almost instantly.
Moving on.

604
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,240
The colour is perfect on the side.

605
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,400
And also,
they all look exactly the same

606
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,440
and the definition is really good.

607
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Just that one's lost a bit. Mm.

608
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,240
The chocolate is
the right consistency.

609
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,360
Texture's perfect, I think. It is.

610
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,600
The chocolate's perfect,
neat as a pin.

611
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,000
This one's a bit messy.
It's a little bit messy.

612
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,520
The colours are right on the side.

613
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,840
The biscuits are really nice,

614
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720
but they're quite well baked,
aren't they?

615
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,640
Any longer and it would have been
too much.

616
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280
They're not the best-looking things,
but the textures are nice.

617
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,760
Moving on to the big issue.

618
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,560
The marshmallow is a disaster,

619
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,720
but the biscuits look
really perfect.

620
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,360
Biscuits are good.
The marshmallow is terrible.

621
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,800
That's a shame.

622
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,320
Paul and Prue will rank the s'mores
from last to first place.

623
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,040
OK, in seventh spot,

624
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,320
we have this one.

625
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,320
Abdul. Big problem
with the marshmallow.

626
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:22,520
Yeah, I decimated them
with the burner.

627
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,000
Really? Yes, they came out like...

628
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,160
You just superheated them
and they melted? Yeah.

629
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,160
Right, in sixth place,
we have this one.

630
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,520
Maxy. The texture was just
a little bit too soft.

631
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,440
In fifth place is Dawn,

632
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,480
Sandro is fourth,

633
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,360
and Kevin third.

634
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,440
In second place, we have this one.

635
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Who's that?

636
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,080
Janusz. This is
a really nice s'mores.

637
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,960
Lovely texture.
Just a little bit of definition,

638
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,240
not looking perfect.

639
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,240
And in first, we have this one.

640
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,120
APPLAUSE

641
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Syabira!

642
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,920
You were 95% there.

643
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,760
Just one never really had
the definition,

644
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,080
but everything else was really nice.
Perfect. Well done. Thank you.

645
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,520
I am very, very happy
that it worked out well.

646
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Although Paul said it's 95%,
it's A-plus, still.

647
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Coming second,
it's a really good result.

648
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,920
And I'm really happy for Syabira,

649
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,080
because she needed
this confidence boost.

650
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Sad life. All I needed to do was
lightly use the burner.

651
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,560
But I was like...
MIMICS FLAME-THROWER

652
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,400
That went so-so.

653
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,760
Not great, not good enough.

654
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,440
Potentially, I'm in trouble.

655
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520
The competition is just
incredibly fierce.

656
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,560
I don't feel
in a particularly strong position

657
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,320
because the morning was rough, and
even coming third in the technical,

658
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,960
I don't think there was much in it,

659
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,600
so I need to have
a really good Showstopper.

660
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,960
{\an8}Just one challenge remains
before Paul and Prue

661
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200
decide who is this week's
Star Baker,

662
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,160
and whose time in the tent is up.

663
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Good morning, bakers.

664
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,280
Hope you're having
a happy Halloween.

665
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,040
I hope you haven't been scared
by any ghosts

666
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400
or spooked by any spectres.

667
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,360
I hope you haven't been shocked
because you've seen some ghoulies.

668
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,360
Noel, you're looking a bit pale.

669
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Did you see some ghoulies? I did
see some ghoulies, and so did Prue.

670
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,640
Was this in Paul's dressing room?
Yes, it was.

671
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,880
I'm so sorry.

672
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,160
OK, bakers, for your Halloween Showstopper,

673
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,640
the judges would like you to make
a hanging lantern.

674
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Think trick or treat,
think jack-o'-lantern.

675
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,080
And when smashed open, must reveal
an array of sweet treats inside.

676
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,840
You have four hours.

677
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,960
On your marks... Get set...

678
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,560
...bake!

679
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Feeling good,
feeling excited for today.

680
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,960
Actually, I am quite nervous
because it's a Showstopper.

681
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,360
The last thing you want to do
is be doing it badly.

682
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,400
Didn't have a strong day yesterday.

683
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,640
So I can't do anything short of
my best work.

684
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,520
Any less, I'm done for.

685
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,680
The bakers could really
have fun with this.

686
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920
We want them to make
a hanging lantern

687
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,640
out of whatever they wish.

688
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,080
Structurally, has to be sound,
but it's got to taste good as well.

689
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,200
It has to be robust enough to hang,

690
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,680
but fragile enough to crack it
with one bang of a rolling pin.

691
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,600
So that sweet treats can tumble out
like a pinata.

692
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,520
We want at least two varieties.

693
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,560
This is Halloween,
so we're expecting maybe eyeballs,

694
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,120
fingernails, witches' hats, noses.

695
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,760
I've got my blood-berry coulis.

696
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
As always, timing will be
really crucial

697
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,320
because it will be tricky enough
to make and bake sweet treats

698
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,640
and the lanterns,

699
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,880
but then they've got to
decorate them

700
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,120
and they have to have time
to do it exquisitely.

701
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,080
I want to see Halloween
hanging in a lantern

702
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,640
with maybe a few windows
and a bit of light.

703
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,720
That's not difficult, surely!

704
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,280
Morning. Good morning.
Hello, Janusz.

705
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,200
Tell us about your hanging lantern.

706
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,720
I've decided to celebrate
horror movies.

707
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,200
So I'm making a popcorn box
with scary decoration.

708
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,520
And I'm going to hide
two different truffles.

709
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Trick or treat truffles.

710
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Janusz's truffles will be hidden
within a popcorn box lantern

711
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,720
built from almond sable biscuit,

712
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,120
{\an8}and feature a treat flavoured
with spiced pumpkin

713
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,800
{\an8}and a trick containing pistachio
and crickets.

714
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Cricket? Cricket? Yes. They're going
to be made with cricket powder.

715
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,320
And then with smoked whole crickets
inside to provide the crunch.

716
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,960
They grind down really nice, actually.

717
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,680
They're more like peppery,
aren't they?

718
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,400
Yeah, they make quite good flour.

719
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,200
Sorry, what, are we just
talking about insects here?

720
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,120
We are. And you know what,
insects are going to be the future

721
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,160
because they're easy to farm, cheap,
very ecologically sound.

722
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,440
And they're pretty nice as well.
They taste like you're eating bacon.

723
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,680
I think that's very original.

724
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240
I'm looking forward to that.
Thank you. Thank you.

725
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Poor Jiminy Cricket!

726
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,520
Would you like one?
No, I would not!

727
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,120
JANUSZ LAUGHS

728
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,520
I love scary movies.

729
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,920
We usually watch scary movies
all the time.

730
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,280
My boyfriend used to do
ghost hunting

731
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,960
and we always watch
paranormal stuff.

732
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,440
We do enjoy our scary pleasure!

733
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,720
CHUCKLES

734
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,040
{\an8}NOEL: And it's scary pleasure
Syabira's planning to serve up.

735
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,280
{\an8}Her spider made from spiced biscuit

736
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,000
{\an8}will contain peanut cookie
Frankenstein fingers

737
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,800
{\an8}and mummy shortbreads featuring
a unique flavour combination.

738
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,920
I'm making an orange shortbread
with white truffle maple syrup

739
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,360
cream cheese filling.

740
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,640
It's a little bit like a gamble,
that one is.

741
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,960
Are you nervous today?

742
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Yeah, because... Hold your hand out.

743
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,120
She's shaking!

744
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,560
It's another handshake
before baking!

745
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,280
ALL LAUGH
You just did it!

746
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,840
You'll be fine. Enjoy it.
You've done really well so far.

747
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,400
You're having a good week.
Thank you, thank you so much.

748
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,480
But Syabira's spider isn't the only
eight-legged Showstopper

749
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,600
in the tent.

750
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,960
My bake is called Arachno-FOMO,

751
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,560
as in fear of missing out.

752
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,440
Because we were never allowed
to dress up as anything scary

753
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,840
for Halloween like zombies
or vampires.

754
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,600
We're Christian, so we had to
dress up as something benign.

755
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,640
One year I got dressed up as a clock
with a mouse running up it,

756
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,840
as in Hickory Dickory.

757
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,280
We've got a friend that's a
Christian as well, and his mum

758
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,040
sent him out trick or treating
dressed as Toulouse-Lautrec.

759
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,520
Kevin's spider will be made from
orange and five-spice sugar cookie

760
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,800
with choux pastry legs
and marshmallow eyes.

761
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,200
{\an8}Inside the beastie's belly

762
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:17,440
{\an8}will be toffee apple macarons
and hard-boiled peanut sweets.

763
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Do you like spiders in real life?
No.

764
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,360
Everyone thinks I like them because
of the way I dress and because

765
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,840
I look gothic, but I actually
am quite scared of spiders.

766
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,120
They're not my biggest fear?
What's your biggest fear?

767
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,800
Well, the same as any musician.

768
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,440
Child prodigies. Child prodigies?!

769
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,280
Aye.
NOEL LAUGHS

770
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,960
Good answer!

771
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,480
Put that in Room 101.

772
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,880
This is my gingerbread dough
for the lantern.

773
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,840
Whatever the bakers choose to
build their lanterns from...

774
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,200
I'm making gingerbread.
I'm bringing cinnamon, allspice,

775
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:47,920
ginger, nutmeg.

776
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,720
...not only must it be delicate
and delicious to eat...

777
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,080
It contains almond flour,

778
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,040
but I've added some almond extract
just for extra kick.

779
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,880
...but when suspended, sturdy enough
to hold their treats too.

780
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,680
A lot of people use gingerbread
because it's nice and strong.

781
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:03,400
I prefer working with sugar cookie.

782
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,480
It's got high sugar content
so it makes it quite firm.

783
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,640
This is sort of like a gingerbread,

784
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,280
but it's using
carbon black cocoa powder,

785
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,560
which bakes coal-black.

786
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,280
So kind of gives you
a head start, really,

787
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,880
when you're trying to do
a black cat.

788
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,320
{\an8}Dawn will construct her
ferocious feline

789
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,800
{\an8}filled with monster macarons
and raspberry jelly eyeballs

790
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,040
{\an8}by carefully joining

791
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,640
{\an8}her two baked biscuit domes

792
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,840
to create one seamless sphere.

793
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,680
I need to make it meet.

794
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:36,280
So it's important to not cut corners

795
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,080
and just take
whatever time you need.

796
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,880
It's not the neatest,
but should be OK.

797
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,200
That's biscuits in.

798
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:47,160
As the bakers' lanterns start
to hit the heat...

799
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Bake well.

800
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,840
...in a bid to stand out
from the crowd...

801
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,800
I'm just melting some chocolate here
so I can make a chocolate sphere.

802
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,760
...Sandro's chosen to avoid
the oven altogether.

803
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,360
I think I'm the only person
using chocolate.

804
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,360
I'm a rebel by nature.

805
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,640
Sandro will transform his
chocolate sphere

806
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,480
into a skull-encrusted disco ball,

807
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,880
containing no less than
five different treats,

808
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,880
including chocolate orange palmiers,

809
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,280
{\an8}nutty orange florentines

810
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,280
{\an8}and chilli chocolate fudge cookies.

811
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,800
You know, you only have to do
two sweets.

812
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,640
I know, but I'm trying
to impress here!

813
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,880
And how many skulls
are you actually making?

814
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,720
About 200 skulls.

815
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,000
What?!

816
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,280
200?

817
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,240
Wow. Good luck, Sandro.
Thank you.

818
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,440
I thought you was going to be
doing it with, like, actual skulls.

819
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,000
I did try to find them, but I got
kicked out of the graveyard.

820
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,680
MATT SCOFFS
Next time.

821
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,000
Next time, please.

822
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,000
Such a fan.

823
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,040
I mean, I just loved you
in Jason And The Argonauts.

824
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,840
Bakers, you are halfway through.

825
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,520
Oh, my gosh. Halfway through?

826
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,200
It's a real pleasure
to work with you guys.

827
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,240
The biscuits are done.

828
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,920
I'm taking it out from the oven.

829
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,960
♪ They're coming out! ♪

830
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,080
Before the bakers can start
to construct their lanterns,

831
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,640
they must allow their biscuit
to cool and firm up.

832
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,120
It's a bit well done.

833
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,080
It will be covered in
chocolate ganache

834
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,960
so you won't see
that it's overbaked.

835
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,760
I just hope it doesn't taste
overbaked as well.

836
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,480
But they can't stop for a second...
Cookie time!

837
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,800
...as they still have
sweet treats to create.

838
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,480
I'm adding some espresso powder.

839
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,960
I'm also going to add
cayenne pepper.

840
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,160
A whole lotta heat. It is Halloween!

841
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,720
It's going to be a cricket truffle.

842
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,160
So the powdered cricket tastes
a bit more savoury,

843
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,960
which is contrasting
to white chocolate and pistachios.

844
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,040
Powdered crickets, the insect.

845
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,360
They rub their legs together,
don't they? They do.

846
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,760
Do you rub your legs together?

847
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,680
I do rub my legs together!

848
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,120
And I used to jump a lot,
but not so much now.

849
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,040
While Janusz hopes to hit the mark

850
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,320
with his creepy-crawly
confectionary...

851
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,520
I am making brownie truffles
and pumpkin macarons.

852
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,640
...Maxy's going for cute and cuddly.

853
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,640
Sort of basing it on
my childhood memories of Halloween

854
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040
so it's not going to be too gory.

855
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,720
{\an8}As well as monster brownie truffles
and pumpkin spiced macarons,

856
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,760
{\an8}Maxy will make meringue ghosts
and tuile biscuit bats,

857
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960
{\an8}but with so many elements to bake,

858
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,400
{\an8}her orange and cinnamon shortbread
lantern is yet to hit the oven.

859
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:14,320
Just rolling out my biscuit dough.

860
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,920
I really need to get
these baked as soon as possible.

861
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,800
Yeah, I've got quite a lot to do.

862
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,160
This is the ultimate juggling act.

863
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,120
I'm just making the florentines

864
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,960
and melting some more chocolate
for the skull.

865
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,600
Not only must the bakers ensure
every texture is spot-on...

866
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,280
These are hazelnuts.

867
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,920
I've done florentines before,

868
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,400
and I just found that
they're not nutty enough.

869
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,040
You've got the chewiness.
You've got the crunch.

870
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,040
Just started on the jelly eyeballs.

871
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,560
The judges will demand perfectly
balanced flavours

872
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,880
across the bakes, too.

873
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,960
This is raspberry flavouring.

874
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,720
Need to go
really carefully with that.

875
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,840
If you put too much in,
it will be hideous.

876
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,480
These are the mummy biscuits.

877
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,680
It's orange shortbread biscuits.

878
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:57,880
Bit of truffle.

879
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,880
I just like the combination
of white truffle and orange.

880
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,240
It's weird, but this is the time

881
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,760
that you're going to try
all the weird combination flavour

882
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,120
and see what the judges think.

883
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,720
Do you like it? Do you not like it?
Do you like it? Do you not like it?

884
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,400
Syabira is not
the only one taking a risk.

885
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,520
I'm now making my date balls.

886
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,040
It's rose water that's going in

887
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,680
and you can already smell it
so it smells pretty nice.

888
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,080
But not content
with one contentious flavour...

889
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,760
I'm making brandy snaps.

890
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,760
...Abdul's doubling down.

891
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,160
I'm going to dip them
in matcha white chocolate,

892
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,040
which is a bit risky because
the judges don't like matcha.

893
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,360
{\an8}Abdul will add almond nails
to his matcha-dipped brandy snaps

894
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,760
{\an8}to create witch's fingers

895
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,320
{\an8}while his rose water and spice
date balls will become witch's eyes,

896
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,400
{\an8}both encased in
a gingerbread lantern.

897
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,600
I'm basically trying
to multitask over here.

898
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960
I'm trying to make
the brandy snaps and my date balls.

899
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,280
I think I'm running a bit
behind schedule, actually,

900
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,520
about ten, ten minutes.

901
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,120
Bakers, you have half an hour left!

902
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,680
Oh, I think your family's here.

903
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:59,240
Oh, yeah. I invited them down
to meet Paul and Prue.

904
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,200
It's my Auntie Jean in the red.

905
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:02,400
GROANING

906
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,200
I'm just multitasking and trying
to do so many things at once.

907
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:08,720
It's going to be quite tight.

908
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,480
This is a Frankenstein finger.

909
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,880
I'm using classic traditional
Malaysian peanut cookies.

910
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,440
Peanut is definitely
a hero flavour for this one.

911
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,960
Erm, what have I got left to do?

912
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Bake the choux pastry spider legs,

913
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,720
glaze the macaron shells, finish
and clean up the boiled sweets.

914
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,200
And you're doing five things?

915
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:30,000
Three so far have been done,
and I've got just two to do.

916
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,720
I am on track.
I've got the florentines done.

917
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,840
They're quite thick,

918
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,680
so I'll call them florentine cups,
because if I don't,

919
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,640
Prue's going to say, "Oh, it's
a bit thick for a florentine."

920
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,920
Are you feeling the stress?

921
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,800
Yeah, I'm definitely
feeling the stress.

922
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,960
What are these going to be?

923
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,280
Little monsters.

924
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,800
Well, they're massive.

925
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,720
You're working fast, aren't you?

926
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,200
Sort of have to!

927
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,200
I've got thousands of things to do.

928
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:54,680
Really? Yeah.

929
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,560
This is the raspberry jelly worm.

930
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,440
I want that bite, the chew.

931
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,760
Everything that
gummy worms gives you.

932
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,080
So these are the fingers.

933
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,200
That's the final piece
of the puzzle.

934
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:06,400
OK, assembly.

935
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,240
So now I have to put the lantern
together, put the sweets in,

936
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,640
decorate the popcorn.

937
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,600
If I'm watching a horror movie,
I would definitely go for popcorn,

938
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,960
but I would buy it
in the supermarket!

939
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,240
This is the backs of the eyeballs,

940
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,520
so I'm just putting
a bit of melted chocolate on.

941
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,840
How's it all going?

942
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,400
Tried to do too many things
and I've run out of time.

943
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,280
I've got to join this together

944
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,960
but it's extremely wonky-looking.

945
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,720
I'll just take off the rough edges

946
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,320
and it'll pop together.

947
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,440
I've got to just see
if I can make it meet.

948
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:43,720
Oh, God.

949
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,360
There's some gaps.
But what can you do?

950
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,640
I'm flattening the top,
just to make sure that it lies flat.

951
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,360
What I don't want is
it's going to be all wonky.

952
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,520
I'm coating this with chocolate,

953
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,920
like a texture of a spider skin.

954
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,200
That looks good, Syabira.

955
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:03,760
Thank you, Sandro.

956
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,640
That is a perfect ball right there.

957
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,240
I plan to completely cover
the entire ball with skulls.

958
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,160
This just isn't sticking.

959
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,160
We're struggling. Just going to make
some buttercream really quickly.

960
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,560
I need options at the moment.
It's very dodgy.

961
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,760
Ah, it cracked!

962
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,320
That's a big old crack right there.

963
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,480
What crack?

964
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Bakers, you have 15 minutes left!

965
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,120
Going to pipe the centre
of these macarons.

966
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,600
This sweet peanuts just need
to come out the mould.

967
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,320
And then I just need to ganache
the spider and put it together.

968
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,360
HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

969
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,880
It's going to break.

970
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,200
BLEEP

971
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:55,000
This isn't going to be hanging
on anything.

972
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,840
It'll be hanging by a thread.

973
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,400
Oh, these are so sketchy.

974
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,120
These smell gorgeous!

975
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,840
Flake lamination.

976
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,560
A bit chewy.

977
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,000
It's falling apart.

978
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,000
Oh, man alive!

979
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,160
I'm cutting through
to make the hole.

980
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,200
I'm really trying.
I think I need a drill.

981
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,640
Where are you, switch?

982
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,760
Oh, yeah.

983
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,280
DRILL WHIRS

984
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,240
{\an8}I don't know whether to
be shocked or turned on.

985
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,040
{\an8}I don't know what's going on here!

986
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,200
If I could just get it
to hold together,

987
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:37,840
I can get the eyes on at least.

988
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,080
That's not going to hang.

989
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,720
It's not going to hang.

990
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,600
It's OK. Just breathe. Breathe.

991
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,280
This is
popcorn with white chocolate.

992
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,640
Ooh! Look at those.
Are they moustaches?

993
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,800
No, they're supposed
to be spider legs.

994
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,640
Disco ball.

995
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,080
Wow!

996
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,440
Is it spooky now?

997
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,480
Come on, stick.

998
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,160
Bakers, you have one minute left!

999
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,560
Time to hang you, babes.

1000
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:15,840
Get off!

1001
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,400
Oh, so sticky.

1002
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,320
So I decided to
cut the florentines in half

1003
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,320
because they won't go in as a whole.

1004
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,720
It won't hang, so... Oh, my God.

1005
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,040
Bakers! Your time is up.

1006
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:42,360
Please step away from
your Halloween Showstoppers.

1007
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,520
That is shocking.

1008
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,720
Well done, everyone.
This is wicked.

1009
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,440
Syabira, get out.

1010
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:50,800
That looks amazing.

1011
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,800
HE EXHALES

1012
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,240
Man alive.

1013
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,760
It's like a horror movie itself.

1014
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,400
I can't look at it.

1015
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,920
That...

1016
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,240
{\an8}It looks like...

1017
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,680
{\an8}Oh, you're digging deep here.

1018
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:04,840
{\an8}No, no, no!

1019
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,240
{\an8}THEY LAUGH

1020
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:15,360
{\an8}It's judgment time for
the hanging Halloween lanterns.

1021
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,320
Sandro, would you like to
bring up your hanging lantern?

1022
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,120
Do you need a hand?
Should be fine.

1023
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,560
Not with those guns.

1024
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,320
{\an8}It looks fantastic.

1025
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,840
This is something that
you could buy in a supermarket.

1026
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,480
The skull ball is just amazing,

1027
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,480
but the treats are all a bit big
to go in your lantern.

1028
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,120
They are indeed.
It is florentines but halved.

1029
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,160
OK.

1030
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Wow!

1031
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:51,880
There you go. They are as well.

1032
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,080
That looks like solid caramel.

1033
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,240
Oh, my God!

1034
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,520
MUFFLED: It's a bit thick.

1035
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,840
The florentines taste amazing.
Just too thick.

1036
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,080
OK. What about
the chocolate fudge cookies?

1037
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,400
There's coffee and chilli.

1038
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,400
Bit of coffee.
A bit of chilli. Yes.

1039
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,520
Yeah.

1040
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:14,800
Ergh...

1041
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,600
I've just found
the trick in this lot.

1042
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Yes. That's far too potent.

1043
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,360
Wow.

1044
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,800
That is really...
I can't eat anything else

1045
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,200
cos I won't be able
to taste anything else.

1046
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,480
{\an8}It's clever.

1047
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,200
The box is very neat as well.

1048
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:34,720
And I love the popcorn. And the eyes
look really well made, too.

1049
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:35,880
Right...

1050
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,080
Let's try the biscuit first.

1051
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,240
The biscuit has
a lovely almond flavour.

1052
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,200
It's lovely.
It's quite short as well.

1053
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,360
There's thick truffles.

1054
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,080
This is the one with
the cricket flour.

1055
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,840
And a whole cricket inside
as well for a crunch.

1056
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,600
Just casually threw that in there.

1057
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,760
It's a bit too sickly sweet for me.

1058
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,120
I think you should have had
more crickets in there.

1059
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,720
The crickets have got
quite a nice savoury flavour.

1060
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,640
It would have balanced it better.

1061
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Next thing you've got pumpkin spice.

1062
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:14,520
Mm. Over-spiced. Which is a pity
because I like the textures.

1063
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,320
I'm just concerned about some
of your flavours going wayward.

1064
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
Mm. Shame.

1065
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,520
What happened to the lid?

1066
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,960
Unfortunately, a zombie came
into the tent and smashed it.

1067
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,720
We saw them, actually. Yeah.
They are Noel's family, though.

1068
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,320
It's a bit of a mess,
but it is hanging.

1069
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:40,640
I like the biscuit.

1070
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,240
It's not too sweet,
and it's very orangey.

1071
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,000
The bake's got a nice crunch to it.

1072
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,800
Almost shortbread-like.

1073
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,080
Right. Give it a whack.

1074
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,040
The treat's pumpkin spiced macaron.

1075
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,800
It's delicious macaron. Thank you.

1076
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,280
Soft in the middle,
crunchy on the outside.

1077
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,960
And just the right amount
of pumpkin spice.

1078
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,080
I also made brownie monsters.

1079
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,000
Chocolatey, nutty.

1080
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,400
It's extremely dense.

1081
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,120
You couldn't have too many of them.

1082
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,200
They're very rich. Tasty but
they are massive for what you need.

1083
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,520
If they'd been tiny, the denseness
wouldn't have mattered.

1084
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,480
{\an8}The lantern looks neat as a pin.

1085
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,360
Well constructed,
seems pretty solid.

1086
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,760
Shall we have a taste?

1087
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,880
Softer than I thought
it would be, actually. OK.

1088
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,280
I think it could have been
baked a little bit longer,

1089
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,600
but the flavour is delicious.

1090
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,640
Are you ready? It mightn't break.

1091
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:38,800
You're right! Again!

1092
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,560
Dramatic!

1093
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,960
Oh, that's so satisfactory,
I tell you.

1094
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,520
All right,
so we've got witch's fingers.

1095
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,760
Brandy snaps. Brandy snaps.
Covered in matcha white chocolate.

1096
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,000
Lovely flavour with the matcha.

1097
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,840
I'm not normally a great matcha fan,
but I think that is perfect.

1098
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,120
It's nice and thin, and
the almond is delicious.

1099
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,240
Right. This is the dates?
Yes. The date ball inside.

1100
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,600
The texture is good, but
all I'm getting is rose water.

1101
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:08,920
OK. It's too strong.

1102
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,360
If you'd pulled that back a bit,

1103
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,920
allow all the other flavours,
the pistachio, to come through,

1104
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,840
the dates to come through, I think
you would have been onto something,

1105
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,800
but it's just overwhelming.

1106
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,160
{\an8}Well, it's quite scary.

1107
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,400
Really scary!

1108
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,720
But it's very messy.

1109
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,520
OK. Do your worst.

1110
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,040
Go on, Prue, give it some.

1111
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,080
Hey!

1112
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Is it gingerbread?

1113
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,160
No. It's sugar cookie
with orange and five-spice.

1114
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,200
Ganache is delicious.

1115
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,680
Biscuit's lovely and crisp.

1116
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:44,280
Are you eating the macaron? Mm-hm.

1117
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,440
Very sweet, but good flavour.

1118
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,560
It's a bit crispy, though. You want
it to be a little bit chewy inside.

1119
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,960
Yeah. They weren't
my strongest macarons.

1120
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,960
What's this made of? It's
butterscotch with salted peanuts.

1121
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,960
It's just sweetness
rather than flavour.

1122
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,640
And it needs to
be finished properly.

1123
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,960
I think somewhere with
the nuts sort of hanging out...

1124
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,640
I think it's...
I think it's all right.

1125
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,360
MATT: That's normally Prue's
territory, saying things like that.

1126
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,000
The whole thing just needed
more time, more effort, because each

1127
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,160
individual bit is not perfect.
Mm-hm.

1128
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,360
It may not hang. You can try.

1129
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,640
Oh, please. Yay!

1130
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,360
APPLAUSE

1131
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,880
Erm... It's a bit messy, isn't it?

1132
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,880
Yes, it is. The two halves
aren't perfectly together,

1133
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,920
but the general idea is impressive.

1134
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,680
Well, let's look inside, shall we?

1135
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:45,520
Well, that worked.

1136
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,160
It's black cocoa powder biscuit.

1137
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,120
It's got a bit of cardamom
in there as well.

1138
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,800
But only a very small amount.

1139
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,880
Very hard.
Can't really taste anything.

1140
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,600
Oh, OK. It's nice and thin,

1141
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,520
which is just as well
because it is rock hard.

1142
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,400
Now, the issue I have
with the macarons,

1143
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,800
they're a little bit too simple.

1144
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,200
I wanted to do a lot more detail on the face.
I thought there'd be a lot more going on.

1145
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:11,000
That's just chocolate ganache?
Yeah. With a bit of brandy in it.

1146
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,560
Again, that's quite simple. Yes.

1147
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,680
Chewy in the middle.
Shiny on top.

1148
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:17,000
Good.

1149
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,720
Eyes.

1150
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,280
I must say, the jelly eyes
are really beautiful.

1151
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,320
Because the jelly is unsweetened,
it's just texture.

1152
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:26,840
But you do get the chocolate.

1153
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,960
I just think it's all
a little bit, dare I say, basic.

1154
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,520
I think it looks amazing.

1155
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:42,920
I mean, really stunning,

1156
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,760
even down to the green light
coming from the mouth.

1157
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,720
It is astonishing to look at

1158
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,360
and everything is
very neatly and delicately done.

1159
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,160
That's unbelievable.

1160
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,120
The dark chocolate is bitter enough
to work really nicely

1161
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,000
with the ginger biscuit itself,
which is exceptionally crunchy.

1162
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,640
Do you want to smash this one, Prue?

1163
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,280
Whoa! Whoa!

1164
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:11,960
And it's still holding.

1165
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,160
Sinister finger.

1166
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,120
That peanut biscuit's lovely.

1167
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:21,200
Crumbly. The peanut kick
is just perfect. Beautiful.

1168
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:22,600
So this is orange...

1169
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,800
...and white truffle
cream cheese filling.

1170
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,680
Oh, too much truffle.

1171
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,120
Why did you put truffle in there?
Why did you put truffle in there?

1172
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,200
It's not working?

1173
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:36,760
It did have flavour.
I'll give you that.

1174
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,480
Syabira!
You're off your head, honestly.

1175
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,480
Orange and truffle
does not go in a biscuit.

1176
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,160
I accept that they don't
like the white truffle in an orange,

1177
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,560
but it's fine.

1178
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,120
White truffle!

1179
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,440
It is very good comments, and I'm
very happy with it. I don't want to

1180
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,360
jinx it, but I was hoping
for Star Baker this time.

1181
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,280
That went pretty much as expected.

1182
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,000
I reckon I'm not only
in danger of going home,

1183
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,640
I think it's a pretty
foregone conclusion.

1184
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,160
I'm bracing myself, to be honest.

1185
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,640
I'm kind of trying to get my head

1186
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,440
around the idea that
I might not come back next week.

1187
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,960
{\an8}Well, we've learned something
from that Showstopper,

1188
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,560
which is that when
Dame Prue has too much sugar,

1189
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,040
we need to keep
that rolling pin away from her

1190
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,360
because she will whack anything
in sight and will eat any creature.

1191
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,720
Loves a cricket.

1192
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,600
But I thought that overall, one
person did better than anybody else.

1193
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,080
And I would say Syabira. Yep.

1194
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,960
Now, when you look at the
circumstance we were coming into today...

1195
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,600
Yeah, because
she'd had a handshake.

1196
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,040
Yeah. And she won the technical.

1197
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,680
She won the technical.
There you go.

1198
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:55,080
I mean, she's unstoppable.
That's the long and short of it.

1199
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,560
So does she have any competition
for Star Baker?

1200
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,240
For the first time, no.
There's not going to be a shock.

1201
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,400
The ideas of all
of the bakers were very sound.

1202
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,960
I just thought there was
a little bit of a rush job

1203
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,240
on some of these bakes.

1204
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,800
I mean, Kevin's spider
looked such a mess.

1205
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,320
For me it's Kevin and Dawn
who are in a bit of trouble.

1206
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,320
I didn't think Dawn really
did enough. Coming into today

1207
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,120
I would have said, you know,
at the bottom of a very tight group,

1208
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,160
it was Dawn and Kevin
sitting down at the bottom

1209
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,560
and I think we're still
looking at those two now.

1210
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,840
Hello, bakers.

1211
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:38,040
Luckily, I've got the great job
of announcing Star Baker this week,

1212
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,080
and that person
has had an amazing week.

1213
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,920
Handshake, first, in technical.

1214
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,440
Great showstopper. Syabira.

1215
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,480
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

1216
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:56,200
Now, I have the less fun job
of announcing who is leaving us,

1217
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:59,600
and we obviously are
growing closer to all of you

1218
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,480
and so this person will
really be missed, actually.

1219
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,080
I'm sorry to say that the person
who is leaving us this week is...

1220
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,200
...Dawn.

1221
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,640
It's fine.

1222
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,360
Poor Dawn.

1223
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,200
Well done, Dawn. You did well.

1224
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:28,560
Game over.

1225
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:32,880
I really don't want to
shed tears over it,

1226
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,600
because it's just been
the most amazing experience,

1227
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,520
really one of the absolute
best experiences of my life.

1228
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,840
I can't wish for more than that,
you know.

1229
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,000
There's a tear. Look.
Don't let anyone see that.

1230
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,680
My kids will be like, "Mum doesn't do emotion.
What the hell's going on?"

1231
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:54,640
I'm really, really proud
of what I've done.

1232
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,360
And I've had fun. Such fun.

1233
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,760
You OK?

1234
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,880
Dawn was a saint.

1235
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,640
In my head, I was already gone.

1236
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,920
And, yeah, mmm...
I didn't expect that at all.

1237
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,520
Now I'm in the top half
of the bakers.

1238
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,520
That's another weird feeling.
I wasn't expecting that either.

1239
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,000
And well done, Syabira.
What an amazing week.

1240
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,760
Thank you. Amazing week.

1241
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,800
I feel very happy and grateful
to get the Star Baker.

1242
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,360
It's a great feeling. You deserve
it, girl. You deserve it.

1243
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,200
But that's a scary place
to be, honestly,

1244
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:30,680
because the only way is going down.

1245
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:32,960
So I'll try to maintain it.

1246
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,280
Going to miss you.
I'm going to miss you. Brilliant.

1247
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,200
I'm really sad to see Dawn go.
She's funny.

1248
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:40,680
I love her.

1249
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:43,800
It's been lovely having you in
the tent. It's been a pleasure.

1250
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,440
I just remembered you're not
a hugger. Oh, you're not a hugger?

1251
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,640
Not really. Remembered that
too late. It's torture!

1252
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,440
Group hug! Let's kill Dawn!

1253
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:54,760
LAUGHTER

1254
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,600
Come on.

1255
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,200
Next time...

1256
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:04,720
Is there such a thing
as too much custard? No.

1257
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,920
...the bakers attempt to
conquer custard as it's poured...

1258
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,160
Float, baby, float.

1259
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,720
...layered... Super jiggly.

1260
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,560
...and frozen.
I'm ready for you, ice cream.

1261
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,640
Whose custard is set for success?

1262
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,640
That custard gateau is impressive.

1263
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,440
And who... Oh, no!

1264
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,360
...will have their final wobble?

1265
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,800
Oh, no.

1266
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,960
My ice cream didn't set.
It's like water.

1267
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,920
