Welcome to Junior Bake Off,

0:00:020:00:03

the show that whisks, kneads and sieves its way to find

0:00:030:00:07

Britain's best young baker.

0:00:070:00:08

'The Bake Off tent hosts the greatest baking battle.'

0:00:080:00:11

Come on, come on.

0:00:110:00:13

Pretty nerve-racking, yeah.

0:00:130:00:15

'32 of the country's finest bakers

0:00:150:00:18

'will be pushed to their limits.

0:00:180:00:20

'But who will rise...?'

0:00:200:00:21

I am really happy.

0:00:210:00:23

'..and who will crumble?'

0:00:230:00:25

Uh!

0:00:250:00:26

'The bakers will whisk, fold and ice their way through cakes,

0:00:280:00:31

'biscuits and bread.'

0:00:310:00:33

It's up to them to battle it out

0:00:330:00:35

as only one can be crowned Junior Bake Off Champion.

0:00:350:00:39

'Standing between them and the title'

0:00:400:00:43

are our Judges -

0:00:430:00:44

'Queen Of Cakes, Mary Berry...'

0:00:440:00:46

I think this competition will be very tough for them.

0:00:460:00:50

They need to grasp the nettle and get going.

0:00:500:00:54

'..and Master Baker, Paul Hollywood.'

0:00:540:00:56

I'm looking for the best of the best.

0:00:560:00:59

I'm expecting something that'll blow my mind away.

0:00:590:01:03

This may collapse. They'd best hurry.

0:01:030:01:05

Whoo!

0:01:050:01:06

'I'm Aaron Craze...'

0:01:060:01:08

Keep it fresh, that's what I say. Bless.

0:01:080:01:10

'..I support the bakers...'

0:01:100:01:12

There's three minutes to go.

0:01:120:01:14

I know.

0:01:140:01:16

'..as 32 are whittled down to just one.'

0:01:160:01:19

'In today's heat, four hopefuls face two tough challenges.

0:01:220:01:27

'They must impress with one of Paul's favourite recipes -

0:01:270:01:31

'Jammy Shortbread Biscuits.

0:01:310:01:33

'In the second they must prove their baking skills,

0:01:340:01:38

'creating a cake with the wow factor,

0:01:380:01:40

'inspired by...chocolate.'

0:01:400:01:42

It'll be tough as only one can make it through to the semifinal

0:01:420:01:46

but who will it be?

0:01:460:01:47

'Meet Millie from York...'

0:01:470:01:49

I'm bubbly,

0:01:500:01:52

talkative and... a little bit on the wild side.

0:01:520:01:56

I'd like to be an actress.

0:01:560:01:58

When I was younger I thought, "I want to be a cook, too."

0:01:580:02:02

So I thought, "I'll be an actress playing a cook."

0:02:020:02:05

'..Stanley from Brighton...'

0:02:050:02:07

I'm not a baker.

0:02:070:02:08

I'm the...crazy cook,

0:02:080:02:10

a MAD creator.

0:02:100:02:13

I'm just adventurous.

0:02:130:02:15

'..Sam from Cheshire...'

0:02:150:02:17

Em...creative,

0:02:170:02:20

imaginative and... a touch mad, possibly.

0:02:200:02:23

I love baking cos if you're slightly stressed or bored

0:02:230:02:27

you can find a recipe, go into the kitchen and make it.

0:02:270:02:31

I try to get everything, sort of precise.

0:02:310:02:33

'..and Saffron from Essex.'

0:02:330:02:36

To be crowned Britain's Junior Bake Off Champion

0:02:360:02:39

would mean everything to me

0:02:390:02:41

and I'd be really speechless.

0:02:410:02:43

I wouldn't be able to say anything - for a change!

0:02:430:02:46

'These four have made it through the selection process.

0:02:510:02:54

'The real work begins now.

0:02:540:02:56

'They'll make one of Paul's favourite recipes -

0:02:560:02:59

'Jammy Shortbread Biscuits.

0:02:590:03:01

'They have the same ingredients and time to bake,

0:03:010:03:04

'but their results could be very different.'

0:03:040:03:07

Right, bakers.

0:03:070:03:09

The shortbread will be judged on technique, taste and texture.

0:03:090:03:14

You've only one hour to make them and this really is your opportunity

0:03:140:03:19

to impress Mary and Paul and show them what you can do.

0:03:190:03:22

-Are you ready?

-CHILDREN: Yes.

0:03:220:03:24

On your marks, get set...

0:03:240:03:26

bake!

0:03:260:03:27

'These guys know their way around a kitchen.

0:03:290:03:33

'If you fancy baking always ask an adult.'

0:03:330:03:36

I've made shortbread, just not like this.

0:03:380:03:41

Yeah, it's just a bit dry.

0:03:410:03:44

I've never made this recipe before.

0:03:440:03:46

Only problem with shortbread, it's really crumbly.

0:03:460:03:50

I've made it once or twice before.

0:03:500:03:53

The only tricky bit is rolling it out to the right size...

0:03:530:03:57

which is pretty hard.

0:03:570:03:59

'11-year-old Saffron is off to a flying start.'

0:03:590:04:02

The right size is just between... Not too thick.

0:04:020:04:06

Thick is about that.

0:04:060:04:07

Thin literally breaks every time you pick it up.

0:04:070:04:10

'Sam's more relaxed.

0:04:100:04:12

'Back home in Cheshire,

0:04:120:04:14

'he uses baking to chill out after a hard day at school.'

0:04:140:04:17

I'm just cutting out

0:04:170:04:20

the top parts for my shortbreads.

0:04:200:04:24

It's more difficult than I thought it would be.

0:04:240:04:27

The key thing is to get the biscuits cut and on trays

0:04:270:04:31

as quickly as possible.

0:04:310:04:33

If you can do that, it stops that rush

0:04:330:04:36

and stops the panic and any mistakes.

0:04:360:04:39

'Millie loves acting in local pantomimes.

0:04:390:04:42

'She's used to performing for an audience,

0:04:420:04:45

'but, she's struggling with her mixture.'

0:04:450:04:47

It's too dry so when I try to stick one in it...

0:04:470:04:50

it kind of like...

0:04:500:04:53

..breaks.

0:04:550:04:57

'Stanley wrestles with his dough

0:04:570:04:59

'and it's becoming dry and harder to roll out.'

0:04:590:05:02

It crumbled a bit but it's OK. I'll use this bit...

0:05:020:05:05

later.

0:05:050:05:06

Just focus on this bit for now.

0:05:060:05:08

But it's...

0:05:080:05:10

nerve-racking, yeah.

0:05:100:05:11

'Saffron shares her kitchen with her mum, dad and two brothers,

0:05:110:05:16

'so she's learned to be quick round the kitchen.'

0:05:160:05:19

They're cooking nicely. At least they're rising, I know that.

0:05:190:05:23

And by looking, I think I'm doing it quickly.

0:05:230:05:26

I don't know if I'm doing it too quick or quick enough.

0:05:260:05:29

OK, bakers, you've got 20 minutes left.

0:05:290:05:33

'By now the bakers should be getting their biscuits in the oven.

0:05:330:05:37

'Stanley's still attacking his poor dough,

0:05:400:05:43

'but Saffron's so far ahead, she's decided to give herself

0:05:430:05:46

'a well-earned break.'

0:05:460:05:49

I'm doing well for time, cos when these are out

0:05:490:05:51

I've got about 15 minutes to put jam on them,

0:05:510:05:54

then put them together, and that won't take long.

0:05:540:05:58

'Moving warm shortbread is a delicate operation.

0:05:580:06:01

'It's vital that the bakers stay cool and don't rush.'

0:06:010:06:04

A big danger is if they bring that biscuit off too early

0:06:040:06:08

and put the jam on, it'll crumble and break.

0:06:080:06:10

'Whoa! Take your time there, Saffron.'

0:06:100:06:14

Uh!

0:06:140:06:15

'Disaster, Saffron's biscuit has crumbled.

0:06:150:06:19

'The clock ticking, she's no choice. She has to make another biscuit.'

0:06:190:06:23

-Hi, Saffron.

-Hi.

0:06:230:06:25

-You're rolling out another biscuit.

-Yep.

0:06:250:06:28

-You've got a broken one.

-I know...

0:06:280:06:30

Will this change things?

0:06:300:06:32

-I don't think it will.

-No?

-Nope.

0:06:320:06:34

-It all depends on how quick this'll bake.

-Yeah.

0:06:340:06:37

If it'll bake quickly or not.

0:06:370:06:39

'Saffron's slip gives the others a chance to catch up.

0:06:430:06:47

'Stanley's shortbread is finally in the oven.'

0:06:470:06:50

I knew everyone else was getting theirs in and I was like..."Ah!"

0:06:500:06:55

Sam's almost finished, so... I am worried

0:06:550:06:58

but I think I can do it, get it done.

0:06:580:07:01

OK, guys. The final push. Ten minutes left.

0:07:010:07:04

Hopefully, come on, come on.

0:07:040:07:07

'Saffron's only got minutes to make another biscuit

0:07:070:07:09

'but the pressure's starting to show.'

0:07:090:07:12

I'm going to do this. Oh, no I'm not!

0:07:120:07:15

'With the clock ticking, she needs to get it in the oven.

0:07:180:07:21

'Her stress levels are rising faster than her biscuits.

0:07:210:07:25

'She can only watch as the others catch up.

0:07:250:07:27

'Everyone's biscuits are out of the oven...'

0:07:270:07:30

(Beautiful!)

0:07:300:07:31

'..except Saffron's.'

0:07:310:07:34

(Oh, I don't want to break this biscuit!)

0:07:340:07:38

'Saffron's just had the longest nine minutes of her life.'

0:07:430:07:47

CLOCK BEEPS

0:07:470:07:49

'Now all she has to do is get the biscuit on the plate.'

0:07:490:07:54

SHE SIGHS

0:07:590:08:02

-Saffron, there's three minutes to go.

-I know.

-OK? Good luck.

0:08:020:08:07

It's too soft, now.

0:08:070:08:10

'It's kicking off in the kitchen, except in Sam's calm corner.'

0:08:100:08:14

OK, guys. You've got one minute left, one minute now.

0:08:140:08:19

I've finished now, actually. I think they look good.

0:08:250:08:28

Just putting a few splodges of jam...

0:08:280:08:31

to make it look nice and fancy.

0:08:310:08:34

Aw, just put that over the top.

0:08:340:08:38

OK, bakers, your time is up. Please step away from your worktops.

0:08:380:08:43

Well, let's just...hope now.

0:08:500:08:52

'There's no more that these four can do.

0:08:560:09:00

'Their biscuits will be judged by two of the country's best bakers.

0:09:000:09:04

'Mary and Paul are looking for six delicious golden-brown biscuits,

0:09:040:09:08

'which are perfectly round, with star shapes cut out of the lids.

0:09:080:09:12

'The results will help decide

0:09:120:09:14

'who books a place in the semifinal

0:09:140:09:17

'and gets a step closer

0:09:170:09:19

'to winning the title of Junior Bake Off Champion.'

0:09:190:09:23

I think you've all done really well.

0:09:230:09:25

MARY: I'm very impressed.

0:09:250:09:27

'Stanley's up first. Will his jammy presentation be enough

0:09:270:09:31

'to cover the cracks in his biscuits?'

0:09:310:09:33

You've had issues with the dough.

0:09:330:09:36

-I know...

-Yeah.

-..you had a problem with the paste.

0:09:360:09:39

-I shouldn't have added as much flour as I did.

-Mmm.

0:09:390:09:42

Mmm.

0:09:420:09:44

The flavour is spot-on.

0:09:440:09:46

You've had a bit of a disaster which you've tried to cover up.

0:09:460:09:50

Nice trick but I'll always find it.

0:09:500:09:53

'Saffron had a broken biscuit battle...but has she won?'

0:09:530:09:56

Now, you went like an express train.

0:09:560:09:59

I've never seen someone move so quickly.

0:09:590:10:02

You've broken that one... but the others seem OK.

0:10:020:10:05

Well done, it melts

0:10:050:10:07

and that's what you're looking for in a good shortbread.

0:10:070:10:10

I liked your technique and you got the hang of it quite quickly.

0:10:100:10:15

You're very quick, but maybe too quick sometimes.

0:10:150:10:19

'Sam was silent and steady,

0:10:190:10:21

'but has his method paid off?'

0:10:210:10:23

They look absolutely perfect. You've kept the shape of the biscuit.

0:10:230:10:28

-PAUL:

-Oh, yeah.

0:10:290:10:31

-They're evenly baked.

-The appearance of those, you could sell in a shop.

0:10:330:10:38

You worked away at the back there,

0:10:380:10:40

quite quietly without any fuss and what a beautiful result.

0:10:400:10:44

'Millie's mixture was dry

0:10:440:10:46

'but will it affect the flavour of her shortbread?'

0:10:460:10:49

You've got a lovely, even bake.

0:10:530:10:55

You've got lots of jam, a lovely flavour.

0:10:550:10:57

I'm getting a bit rubbery in the mouth, but it tastes fantastic.

0:10:570:11:01

-MARY: Well done.

-Thank you.

0:11:010:11:03

Take everything on board from these guys, they're legends.

0:11:030:11:07

You've got one more challenge to go and everything to bake for.

0:11:070:11:10

I don't really have a main competitor

0:11:120:11:14

but Sam's biscuits looked like a perfect picture.

0:11:140:11:17

I'm hoping that my chocolate cake

0:11:170:11:20

will look like an even perfecter picture this round!

0:11:200:11:23

No offence, Sam!

0:11:230:11:25

I'm just looking forward to all of it. I'm a cool cucumber.

0:11:250:11:30

I'm looking at the positive side, cos...

0:11:300:11:32

there's no point looking at the negative side, cos...

0:11:320:11:36

I think I did well.

0:11:360:11:37

I'm looking forward to the next round. I'm confident about it.

0:11:370:11:41

I reckon I'll do well.

0:11:410:11:43

The next challenge is all to play for. I'll give it everything.

0:11:430:11:46

Come on!

0:11:460:11:48

Bakers, this is your second test.

0:12:010:12:03

Your task is to come up with a lovely cake,

0:12:030:12:06

inspired by today's theme which is...chocolate!

0:12:060:12:10

Mary and Paul are looking for clever ideas, intricate decorating

0:12:100:12:14

but most of all,

0:12:140:12:16

it's got to taste fantastic.

0:12:160:12:19

This is your last chance to show them what you've got.

0:12:190:12:23

Are you ready?

0:12:230:12:24

CHILDREN: Yeah!

0:12:240:12:25

On your marks, get set...

0:12:250:12:28

bake!

0:12:280:12:29

'They have just an hour and a half to complete the cakes

0:12:290:12:33

'they've been practising at home.

0:12:330:12:35

'This is a chance for them to show the judges

0:12:350:12:38

'they've got the baking skills they seek.

0:12:380:12:40

'Saffron raced ahead in the last challenge

0:12:400:12:42

'but too much rushing left her with a broken biscuit.

0:12:420:12:45

'Will she learn from her mistakes as after only ten minutes

0:12:450:12:49

'she's already greased her tins and made her sponge mix?'

0:12:490:12:53

I need to be quite fast on certain things

0:12:530:12:57

because I've got quite a bit to do.

0:12:570:13:01

What's happening, rude girl?

0:13:010:13:03

-How's it going?

-Nothing much, rude boy!

-You know that.

0:13:030:13:07

-Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries...

-Yeah.

0:13:070:13:10

..and Maltesers going on.

0:13:100:13:12

What will it look like? I can't picture it.

0:13:120:13:15

It is a three-tier take,

0:13:150:13:17

-cake, sorry, not take.

-Three-tier.

0:13:170:13:19

-So you've got to make how many sponges?

-Three.

0:13:190:13:22

And round the edges there's going to be a ganache.

0:13:220:13:26

-That's posh, what's that?

-It's like a frosting.

0:13:260:13:29

You are fast. Will that give you an extra mile?

0:13:290:13:33

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-You reckon?

0:13:330:13:35

I'm going to leave. Nuff respect to the Summer Chocolate Surprise.

0:13:350:13:39

-Step paw!

-Bless!

0:13:390:13:42

'In the last round,

0:13:440:13:45

'Paul said Sam's shortbread was good enough to sell in a shop.

0:13:450:13:49

'Now he's trying to impress with an animal of a chocolate sponge cake

0:13:490:13:53

'filled with buttercream icing.'

0:13:530:13:55

Sam the man. Here he is.

0:13:560:13:57

-Hello.

-The silent assassin himself.

-Thank you.

0:13:570:14:01

Sneaked up in that last round, didn't you? Done very well indeed.

0:14:010:14:05

-So, what are you cooking here?

-I'm doing my Hedgehog Cake.

0:14:050:14:09

It's my nan's recipe.

0:14:090:14:11

She used to do a lot of these for my dad when he was younger.

0:14:110:14:14

-So, what have we got in there? A bit of chocolate?

-Yeah.

0:14:140:14:18

This, in here, which is my frosting, which isn't going exactly to plan.

0:14:180:14:23

What's happened?

0:14:230:14:24

I don't know. It's just gone a bit odd.

0:14:240:14:27

It's all going to plan at the moment,

0:14:270:14:30

so, just hope it stays...

0:14:300:14:32

..to plan. Yeah, stayed.

0:14:350:14:36

'Stanley's shortbread crumbled under pressure.

0:14:360:14:40

'This time, he needs to keep his nerves under control.'

0:14:400:14:43

The name of my cake is called

0:14:430:14:45

Stanley's Super Sour Cherry Surprise -

0:14:450:14:50

tongue twister and a half.

0:14:500:14:52

I like to invent and I've put a few surprises in it.

0:14:520:14:57

What have you got? Why are you going to win?

0:14:570:15:00

-Cos I've got ginger.

-What?

0:15:000:15:02

-This is my surprise.

-Shhh.

0:15:020:15:05

Don't say it too loud because behind us is Saffron

0:15:050:15:09

-and you know what she's like.

-I know.

0:15:090:15:12

-Right, mate, keep it real. See you in a bit.

-See you in a bit.

0:15:120:15:15

'Sam's icing is still looking odd.'

0:15:150:15:18

I think it split - when it doesn't quite mix together properly.

0:15:180:15:22

-What's happened, Sam?

-It's split, which doesn't usually happen.

0:15:220:15:26

Pass me a whisk.

0:15:260:15:28

See if we can't bring this back to life.

0:15:280:15:30

Ah, thanks.

0:15:340:15:35

-Thank you a lot.

-Pleasure.

0:15:350:15:38

I'm extremely grateful. Without him, I would probably...

0:15:380:15:42

Well, it would probably still be a disaster.

0:15:420:15:45

-Hello, Mille.

-Hi.

-How's it going, love? You all right?

0:15:450:15:49

-Yeah, it's going great.

-What we baking here?

0:15:490:15:52

We are baking, like a Millionaires' Shortbread,

0:15:520:15:55

-just a Millionaires' Chocolate Cake.

-Oh, right.

0:15:550:15:59

What has this Millionaires' Shortbread Cake got

0:15:590:16:02

that these guys haven't got? Why will you win this?

0:16:020:16:05

I thought it has to be a cake.

0:16:050:16:07

Why not take a really nice shortbread

0:16:070:16:10

and try and make it into a cake?

0:16:100:16:13

Well, I tell you what, that is definitely inventive.

0:16:130:16:16

-Keep it fresh, that's what I say. See you soon.

-Thanks.

0:16:160:16:20

1 tbsp of milk.

0:16:200:16:24

I'm feeling very positive.

0:16:240:16:26

Perfect.

0:16:300:16:31

Now, our bakers seem to be making the most amazing chocolate cakes

0:16:370:16:41

and we all love chocolate.

0:16:410:16:44

So much so, that we eat over 500,000 tons of the stuff

0:16:440:16:48

every, single year.

0:16:480:16:50

Now, that's the same weight as 71,579 London buses.

0:16:500:16:55

Whether it's white, milk or dark chocolate,

0:16:550:16:58

I want to find out which is the best one to bake with.

0:16:580:17:02

'I've found a chocolate factory

0:17:020:17:04

'where the owner's actually called Willie.

0:17:040:17:07

'He seems like the perfect person

0:17:070:17:09

'to tell me about cooking with chocolate.'

0:17:090:17:12

You can use any chocolate - milk, dark, white.

0:17:120:17:15

But use the best chocolate.

0:17:150:17:17

Your cake is only going to be as good as your ingredients.

0:17:170:17:20

'Chocolate doesn't start in bars. It actually comes from cacao beans.

0:17:200:17:25

'Willie grows his own on a farm in Venezuela.'

0:17:250:17:28

I can't believe that's chocolate.

0:17:280:17:31

And it grows on trees. Why don't you taste one?

0:17:310:17:33

Nutty, isn't it? Bitter.

0:17:330:17:37

'Willie roasts his beans to enhance the flavour.'

0:17:370:17:41

They're almost on fire.

0:17:410:17:43

They're really warm and when you break them up,

0:17:430:17:47

they're just melted and all the butter's coming out.

0:17:470:17:51

Look at that. It smells so strong.

0:17:510:17:53

'I could just eat them right now,

0:17:530:17:55

'but Willie insists on taking the skins off first.'

0:17:550:17:59

So, this is the heart of the grinder.

0:17:590:18:01

You've got two granite stones, milling the cocoa

0:18:010:18:04

into a river of chocolate. Here it comes!

0:18:040:18:07

'This is 100 % pure chocolate and it smells awesome.

0:18:080:18:12

'The chocolate is poured into the moulds,

0:18:140:18:17

'ready to be baked with or just eaten.'

0:18:170:18:19

So fruity and pure, isn't it?

0:18:190:18:23

It's real chocolate. It's all about the quality of the bean.

0:18:230:18:27

The best beans make the best bakes.

0:18:270:18:30

'How are the bakers getting on using chocolate to make cakes

0:18:300:18:33

'that'll knock the judges' socks off?'

0:18:330:18:36

I am the messy chef.

0:18:360:18:38

Got my cake made and it's in the oven.

0:18:380:18:41

'These cakes hold the key to the bakers' future in the contest

0:18:510:18:54

'and Mary and Paul are watching every move they make.'

0:18:540:18:58

-So, this is the icing?

-Yeah, this is the caramel.

0:18:580:19:02

It's very important to stir all the time.

0:19:020:19:05

Don't let it catch.

0:19:050:19:07

'Sam's cut his sponge in half and covered it with icing

0:19:070:19:11

'to make his hedgehog's body.'

0:19:110:19:13

I'm feeling quite confident at the moment.

0:19:130:19:17

I'm not sure whether it's about to fall over or not,

0:19:170:19:20

so, I think I might open it up and add a bit more buttercream inside.

0:19:200:19:24

It seems to be... Hmmmm.

0:19:270:19:31

'Uh-oh, someone call a vet!

0:19:310:19:34

'Sam's hedgehog is in danger of coming unstuck.'

0:19:340:19:37

OK, bakers, 30 minutes to go.

0:19:370:19:41

'When there's dancing in the kitchen it's a sign things are going well.

0:19:410:19:46

'But Mary's expert nose has sniffed out a potential problem.'

0:19:460:19:50

Now, Stanley, this is made with self-raising flour

0:19:500:19:53

and you have added bicarbonate of soda, too,

0:19:530:19:56

and I can get a slight smell of bicarb from here.

0:19:560:19:59

Yes.

0:19:590:20:01

Yeah.

0:20:010:20:02

'You don't need to add bicarb if you're using self-raising flour -

0:20:020:20:06

'it can leave a bitter flavour.'

0:20:060:20:08

I'll be interested whether I'll taste that when it's finished.

0:20:080:20:13

I've not got a name for this hedgehog yet.

0:20:130:20:17

I was thinking maybe Barry.

0:20:170:20:20

'Barry looks like he's about to topple over.'

0:20:200:20:24

How much vanilla extract?

0:20:260:20:28

-Hello, Saffron.

-Hello.

-How are you getting on?

-Pretty good.

0:20:280:20:32

You've got chocolate sponge and you'll pour ganache over the top?

0:20:320:20:36

I've got three tiers, so, two gaps -

0:20:360:20:39

buttercream on one, ganache on the other.

0:20:390:20:41

Round the edges and on top, there'll be ganache

0:20:410:20:44

and it'll be piled up with fruit.

0:20:440:20:47

-You'll get it done in time?

-Yeah.

0:20:470:20:49

'If she can bake it as quick as she says, she's onto a winner.

0:20:490:20:52

'But with a cake that tricky, there's no room for error.'

0:20:520:20:57

OK, bakers, there's 10 minutes left.

0:20:570:21:00

It seems to be leaning, which is worrying.

0:21:050:21:08

-Thanks.

-You've got one minute left. One minute, now.

0:21:170:21:20

'There's time for a last-ditch attempt

0:21:200:21:23

'to get Barry the hedgehog to stand up straight.'

0:21:230:21:27

I am really happy. This cake is most certainly

0:21:270:21:32

everything I wanted it to be. It's going to be delicious.

0:21:320:21:37

Do you reckon the sponge is going to be able to take that?

0:21:370:21:40

-It does at home. Hopefully, it'll do it here.

-Fantastic.

0:21:400:21:44

There you go. That's all I'm doing.

0:21:440:21:46

I think this will collapse. They'd better hurry up.

0:21:460:21:50

There we go.

0:21:500:21:52

And now, my cake is done.

0:21:520:21:55

I think everybody's cakes look brilliant.

0:21:550:21:59

Let's bung them out and give the judges a wowing.

0:21:590:22:02

OK, dudes, your time is up.

0:22:020:22:04

I'm afraid you'll have to step away from the cakes.

0:22:040:22:07

'For three of these bakers, this is the last time

0:22:070:22:11

'they'll face the judges.

0:22:110:22:13

'Their cakes will be judged on their ideas,

0:22:130:22:16

'presentation and taste.'

0:22:160:22:18

Stanley, you're up first.

0:22:180:22:20

'The judges are looking for a chocolate cake

0:22:200:22:23

'that's a delicious blend of amazing ideas and skilful baking.

0:22:230:22:28

'Confident Stanley has made a chocolate sponge cake

0:22:280:22:31

'filled with cream and topped with chocolate-dipped fruit.

0:22:310:22:35

'Will the judges taste his secret ingredient?'

0:22:350:22:38

You should feel very proud of yourself.

0:22:380:22:41

-It's a nice-looking chocolate cake.

-It's absolutely beautiful.

0:22:410:22:45

-That mystery ingredient?

-Yeah.

-Ginger.

-Yes.

0:22:480:22:51

Can you taste that hint of bicarb?

0:22:540:22:57

I think you've done rather well to put that ginger in.

0:22:570:23:00

'Next up, hoping to seal a place in the semi-final, is Millie

0:23:000:23:04

'with a Millionaires' Shortbread Cake -

0:23:040:23:07

'chocolate sponge and layers of caramel,

0:23:070:23:09

'smothered in chocolate icing.'

0:23:090:23:11

The idea is a very clever idea

0:23:110:23:13

because you've blended two ideas of cake

0:23:130:23:16

into one and you've got layers in there, as well.

0:23:160:23:20

It's impressive and you've invented it. It's good.

0:23:200:23:24

That is absolutely delicious.

0:23:280:23:30

You've got a very soft, moist chocolate cake.

0:23:300:23:35

It's very, very clever.

0:23:350:23:36

'With his quick thinking,

0:23:360:23:38

'Sam managed to save his cake from complete collapse.

0:23:380:23:42

'Will his hedgehog Barry with a sponge body,

0:23:420:23:45

'covered in buttercream icing and chocolate button spikes

0:23:450:23:49

'see him through to the semi-final?'

0:23:490:23:51

-It seems a bit sad to chop him up, really, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

0:23:510:23:57

That sponge is so light.

0:23:570:24:00

Even with the chocolate, it's stunning.

0:24:000:24:03

It's very creative. You've thought about this.

0:24:030:24:06

I love how you've got all these chocolate pieces on the top.

0:24:060:24:10

It's ingenious.

0:24:100:24:11

-It really is very, very clever.

-Thank you.

0:24:110:24:15

'Speedy Saffron's been super ambitious,

0:24:150:24:17

'with a three-tiered chocolate cake covered with ganache,

0:24:170:24:21

'topped with summer fruits.

0:24:210:24:23

'But will it stand up to the judges standards?'

0:24:230:24:26

This is a very professional-looking cake.

0:24:260:24:29

Are you happy with it?

0:24:290:24:31

If I had time, I would have let the cakes cool a bit more -

0:24:310:24:35

while I was putting the ganache on,

0:24:350:24:37

the buttercream was melting because of the heat of the cakes.

0:24:370:24:41

You're a clever girl, you know.

0:24:410:24:44

You've produced a cake that is absolutely sublime.

0:24:450:24:49

Thank you.

0:24:490:24:50

'Mary and Paul have a difficult decision to make.

0:24:520:24:55

'I'll find out what they're really thinking.'

0:24:550:24:57

Well, let's start here with Stanley's.

0:24:570:25:00

Technically, it's a nice cake. Aesthetically, it's quite pretty.

0:25:000:25:05

But he had that bicarb and for me, it spoiled it a bit.

0:25:050:25:08

I've done enough to get through to the next round.

0:25:080:25:12

I've pushed it really far.

0:25:120:25:13

That challenge was up my street. I was really in my zone, there.

0:25:130:25:18

'Will Millie's Millionaire Shortbread Cake

0:25:180:25:21

'hit the jackpot with the judges?'

0:25:210:25:23

The sponge is very good.

0:25:230:25:25

What we were wanting was something with a wow factor to it

0:25:250:25:29

and when you put that with the others,

0:25:290:25:31

it didn't quite have it.

0:25:310:25:33

-Something missing.

-It tasted good.

0:25:330:25:35

I have no idea if I'll get through or not

0:25:350:25:38

cos there are loads of lovely cakes

0:25:380:25:41

which are very fancy and it just depends what the judges say.

0:25:410:25:45

'In the first round, Saffron broke her biscuit

0:25:450:25:49

'but will her cake wow Mary and Paul?'

0:25:490:25:51

Fresh cake, with that much fruit on top -

0:25:510:25:54

not the best idea cos you've got the extra weight

0:25:540:25:57

on a cake which wants to collapse.

0:25:570:25:59

You've got a ganache, buttercream, and the sponge in there.

0:25:590:26:03

Well executed cake.

0:26:030:26:04

She had outstanding technical knowledge throughout.

0:26:040:26:08

I definitely think that I've done enough to at least come second.

0:26:080:26:13

If not first, I don't know.

0:26:130:26:16

'The judges loved Sam's shortbread.

0:26:160:26:19

'But can his hedgehog Barry seal the deal?'

0:26:190:26:22

If it was upright, it would've been nicer and probably,

0:26:220:26:25

if he'd had the time, put more flakes on

0:26:250:26:28

to look more like spikes.

0:26:280:26:30

I feel that Sam had created the whole of that himself

0:26:300:26:35

and I think he did very well with it.

0:26:350:26:38

It went OK. I had a bit of trouble with the icing.

0:26:380:26:42

It kind of tilted over and split in the middle slightly.

0:26:420:26:45

I'm still quite confident but not that happy with it.

0:26:450:26:50

'The judges have made up their minds

0:26:500:26:54

'and for these four, an unbearable wait is almost over.'

0:26:540:26:57

The person going through to the semi-finals is...

0:27:030:27:07

..Saffron! Well done!

0:27:120:27:14

I'm chuffed that I've got through. I just didn't believe that I would.

0:27:160:27:21

Saffron has gone through because she is a very good baker.

0:27:210:27:25

It was fantastic to see someone with that much passion.

0:27:250:27:28

It was like looking at a Mini-Me.

0:27:280:27:30

Saffron, in this competition, is a high benchmark.

0:27:300:27:34

Let's just hope in the other heats, that people reach that level.

0:27:340:27:38

At the moment, she's a class act.

0:27:380:27:40

It's just... It's... I'm speechless.

0:27:400:27:44

In the next Junior Bake Off heat, it's festival time.

0:27:440:27:48

It's going to have a bonfire on top of it.

0:27:480:27:50

Mistakes are made...

0:27:500:27:52

Did you put sugar in instead of self-raising flour?

0:27:520:27:55

-..and muffins pay the price.

-That is a problem.
