0:00:02 > 0:00:04After three weeks, it all comes down to this challenge.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06By the end of today, either Macy,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11Nikki or Tyrese will be crowned our Junior Bake Off champion 2016.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Do they get a crown? I thought they got this.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- BOTH:- Welcome to Junior Bake Off.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45It's going to be fun today.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49'Macy, Nikki and Tyrese are about to face the ultimate Showstopper.'
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- I'm quite nervous about...- Do you think the judges are going to be,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- like, harsher?- I don't know.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'This final bake will be served to their friends and family
0:00:59 > 0:01:01'at a garden party this afternoon,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05'before the judges determine who is the best young baker in Britain.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12'Yesterday, the finalists produced rough puff-pastry canapes for the
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'Signature Challenge and faced a tricky meringue pie Technical.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'They were joined in the tent by guest vloggers...'
0:01:19 > 0:01:20No way.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23'..Marcus Butler and Oli White.'
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I am so excited. - I'm really excited.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'In the morning, Nikki's flavours won high praise.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:30It's not too sweet. It's very clever.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32'Though it wasn't perfect.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It is just slightly underbaked.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'But she went on to take first place in the Technical.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Lovely thin pastry and pillowy meringues.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Well done.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46It feels crazy-slash-amazing to know that it's the last day
0:01:46 > 0:01:49in the tent. It's quite nerve-racking,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51cos we know it's going to be the hardest challenge
0:01:51 > 0:01:54that we've been set so far.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57'Macy impressed with her pastry...'
0:01:57 > 0:02:00They're crisp on the bottom, crisp on the inside...
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's really exceptional pastry.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05'But in the Technical, she lost her focus.'
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I think this baker forgot to put something into their meringues.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12'For the Showstopper today, I am feeling quite confident and I'm'
0:02:12 > 0:02:15really determined to impress the judges.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'Tyrese's canapes packed a punch...'
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Oh, that is so good. - That is a delicious filling.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You should be very proud of yourself.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25'..but slipped up with his chocolate pastry.'
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It has been overbaked slightly, which is a shame.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And the curd and the meringue are really, really good.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34'I am, like, 30% excited and'
0:02:34 > 0:02:3670%, like, nervous.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39'I think that my plan is just to make sure I'm focused,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41'I'm concentrating,'
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and making sure that I leave myself enough time to correct everything.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, judges, it's the final day of Junior Bake Off.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52We have got three amazing finalists.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54How happy are you with them?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56We've had 40 great bakers go through this tent,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58but Nadiya and I have no doubt
0:02:58 > 0:03:00that these are the right three to be here today.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03They feel like such accomplished bakers.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04It's the last challenge
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and I'm so excited to see what they've got to give us.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What do our bakers have to do to win it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I mean, Nikki, she's given us amazing flavours.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I think she has the ability to give us perfection
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and I think that's what we're looking for.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Macy, on the other hand, has been phenomenally consistent.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Very strong on technique but less so on flavour.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- What about Tyrese? - He's cool as a cucumber, isn't he?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Mmm.- When he's in the kitchen he knows exactly what he's doing.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And I've never really seen Tyrese break into a sweat,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34and that sweat is healthy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It's an absolutely essential part of a pro,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and I would like to see him ratchet up and find a fifth gear.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Bakers, here we are for your last ever challenge.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Allegra and Nadiya would like you to bake a cake
0:04:00 > 0:04:03fit for a royal garden party.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Now, it can be any design or flavour that you wish,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but it must be a minimum of four layers.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11All right, bakers, here we go.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13You have two and a half hours.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15For the last time, on your marks...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Get set...- BOTH:- Bake!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26'It feels incredible to be baking for the very last time in the tent.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29'I'm definitely feeling determined today.'
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'I want to do really well in this challenge,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35'and I just basically want to make my cake to the best of my ability.'
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's the final of Junior Bake Off.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41They have everything to play for, so we are looking for perfection.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44There's three of them in there. There is nowhere to hide.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46If they make a mistake, we are going to see it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49This is one occasion where we want to pull out all the stops.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52We want the bakers to give us a real visual masterpiece.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's got to be appropriate for a royal garden party,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56and nothing less.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59How many eggs?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I'm making strawberry and raspberry chocolate cream cake.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06I'm just separating my eggs
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and then I'm going to whisk up the egg whites.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It makes the cake really light.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I do feel like there's a lot of pressure,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16but this should be a winning cake.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19The whisked egg whites will give Macy's four layers
0:05:19 > 0:05:21of Genoese sponge its rise.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It will be sandwiched together with whipped cream and home-made
0:05:24 > 0:05:27raspberry jam, and covered with white chocolate ganache.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It will be decorated with chocolate-dipped strawberries.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I've never made cake for a garden party before because I've never been
0:05:34 > 0:05:37to a garden party, but I have made, like, summery cakes,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39so that's, like, what I'm doing today.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43When Macy's not baking cakes for her nine brothers and sisters,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46she can often be found on a pair of roller skates,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and loves going to roller discos.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Hi, Macy.- Hello.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh. That looks fluffy.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54What fat are you using in here? Butter, oil?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- I'm not using any.- A fat-free cake? What stops it being dry, then?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The filling that I'm using. I'm using loads of jam and cream.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So the fillings complement the cake.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yeah.- Where did you get the idea?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I ate a cake at a party a few months ago and it was really nice,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- so I tried to recreate it. - Well, good luck. Enjoy yourself.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Thank you.
0:06:14 > 0:06:21I've practised at this cake once, erm, with the decorations on it,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25and I've practised it twice without the decorations on it,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and I've practised it another time just doing the decorations,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30so I think I'll have enough time.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'm doing a white chocolate and raspberry cake
0:06:32 > 0:06:36with a white chocolate ganache in the middle.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Nikki's two-tiered regal cake will be covered with fondant icing and
0:06:39 > 0:06:42home-made flowers. She's adding white chocolate and
0:06:42 > 0:06:46fresh raspberries to her four layers of sponge.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, give us the overall vision, here, Nikki.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I wanted to make it quite white and clean but add some greenery,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53because royal garden party.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I've made, like, loads of flowers.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Oh.- Oh, poppies!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- And then here's a crown. - Oh, they're just lovely.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- It took me, like, five hours. - Oh.- That's good.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's really good.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09At the age of six, Nikki developed a rare, life-threatening condition
0:07:09 > 0:07:11that affects the flow of blood to her face.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Despite having undergone 28 operations,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Nikki regularly vlogs on her own lifestyle channel.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Hi, YouTube. It's Nikki from Nikki Lilly.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25She's also managed to raise £400,000 for a medical charity
0:07:25 > 0:07:27which she founded herself.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I'm just folding the raspberries into the cake mix.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33OK.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- TYRESE:- I think that my biggest worry is time,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39because sometimes a cake might take longer in the oven than it, like,
0:07:39 > 0:07:44usually does. But I'm hoping that it will cook on time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Tyrese, how are you?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- I'm good.- What are you making for us?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm making a two-tier red velvet cake.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Is this one of your favourites?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Everyone that's asked me to make a cake asked for red velvet.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Because you bake it all the time...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Yeah.- ..I'll be expecting a perfect cake.- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Can I just point out, we've got not one, not two,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05but three types of red food colouring?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yeah. I like my red velvet cake to be, like, really rich and red.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Tyrese will be covering the bottom tier of his red velvet cake with
0:08:12 > 0:08:13buttercream rosettes.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The top tier will be covered with a quilted white fondant,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20decorated with silver pearls and adorned with a home-made replica of
0:08:20 > 0:08:22the Queen's crown.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm using buttermilk because it's, like, creamier
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and kind of sour - it just evens out the sweetness.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I'm just alternating the buttermilk and dry mixture,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35so that it doesn't, like, curdle with the other ingredients.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39As well as baking, Tyrese loves to act,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43and has performed the lead role in the number of school plays.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That is a lot of cake mix.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It's a lot.- That is going to be a big cake.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51What makes this cake fit for a royal garden party, Tyrese?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Well, seeing as it's red velvet... - Yeah.- The Queen's sash is velvet,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and I find velvet is - and silk - they're quite royal.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Yeah, yeah, they're luxury. - They're luxury. Yeah, yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03What's the deal, Tyrese?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06We're in the final. Do you want to win it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I do want to win, but it's whether I will...
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Erm...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Yeah?- I've got quite good competition, so...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15You definitely have, but it's pretty close between all three of you
0:09:15 > 0:09:16at this stage in the game.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So not to put any pressure on,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20but the Showstopper might win it for you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Oh.- Yeah, this is going to be massive.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24It's going to be huge.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Two, oh...
0:09:27 > 0:09:32If you're going to do some baking, make sure a grown-up is aware.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I need to bake them for 20 to 25 minutes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Bakers, you've got an hour and a half left on the bake.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41'With the cakes in the oven,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'the bakers turn their attention to their fillings.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'm just melting some
0:09:45 > 0:09:49white chocolate into some double cream to create a ganache.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I have to do it over a bain-marie,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55because it can be overdone so quickly and then separate.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Macy's also making a white chocolate ganache,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01but she'll be using hers to cover her cake.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02I know the ganache is ready
0:10:02 > 0:10:06when it's not got any lumps of chocolate in it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'm just putting mine in the fridge, just to firm up a little bit.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'm making an almond and vanilla buttercream.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Adding two teaspoons of almond essence.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's just so that it gives it more flavour, basically.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26What are we doing, Nikki? What's happening?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm just making some orange buttercream.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31So, you've been, like, constantly baking when you're at home?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Yeah, I've definitely taken over the kitchen, and we've sort of, like,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36been having a schedule where, like,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I have my baking time from this time to this time.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It's a race against time,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43which is quite good because it's sort of like what it is in the tent.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46My brother and sister want to make a snack and I'm just like,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47"You can do it in, like, three hours."
0:10:47 > 0:10:49THEY LAUGH
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- MACY:- I'm making raspberry jam for the filling,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and I'm just waiting for them to start to simmer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I have made a lot of jam before,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58but I make strawberry jam more than raspberry.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- You know the Queen?- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04She's 90 but she looks like she's, like, 67.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06That's a bit of an accurate number.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I think she looks, like, 65.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I think she looks like she's 62.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Well, that's a bit accurate too.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Oh, and she does this...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Oh, good evening, dear.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, I can smell cake.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Oh, snap.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Oh, gosh. The cake's, kind of, overflowing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I think I filled them a bit too much.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Them ones at the top are fine. It's that one.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I hope that they're going to cook in the time.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42One hour, bakers. One hour to go.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh-hoo.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Let me check if you're done.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It should be bouncy when you put your finger on it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52They're ready.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Still wobbly.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's not cooked.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yeah, it's done. These are really good, actually.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'm going to leave it to cool for a few minutes and then I'll flip it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Waiting outside at a rather damp garden party
0:12:12 > 0:12:14are the bakers' family and friends.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I am extremely proud of Macy.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21She's been baking every single day, sometimes till midnight,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22just to get it right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24She's been working very hard.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We've been looking forward to having her back.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28We miss her cooking and that at home.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Nikki hasn't been well for a few years,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and so baking became a great hobby of hers.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It's really changed her life in a lot of ways, I think.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's just made her realise,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41"There's so much I can do and there's so much I can achieve."
0:12:42 > 0:12:45There are no words to describe how proud I am and we all are.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I think Tyrese is in the final
0:12:49 > 0:12:51because of his passion for baking.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53He really loves it, and he enjoys it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55He does amazing bakes,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57but being here just goes to show how amazing he is,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and it shows him how amazing he is.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's done. I'm going to take them out and put them in the freezer
0:13:06 > 0:13:08so that they cool down quicker.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I don't think I'm going to have enough time to decorate.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Bakers, you've got half an hour
0:13:14 > 0:13:18until we party on down with your friends and family. Come on.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I think it's really important to make sure all the layers are even,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26because you don't want one layer that big and one layer that big.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- MACY:- On there.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's thinner on this side.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31And this isn't even. I think I'll put that on there.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34When I cover it in ganache, hopefully you won't be able to tell.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'm just popping some ganache on top of each layer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It will give a white-chocolatey flavour.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48The only thing I'm not sure about is my ganache is quite thin.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Hi, Nikki.- Hello.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51- How are you getting on?- Good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54My ganache has just not thickened up, really.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56What amount of cream and chocolate?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Were they equal? - There was a bit more cream.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK. So what do you think you could do?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Maybe whip it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- I might whip it. - OK, I'll leave you to it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05- OK, thank you.- OK.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08This jam's really thin.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I don't know why. When I practised at home
0:14:11 > 0:14:13it didn't come out thin like this.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But actually, I can just use the thick bits.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Because there is cream in it, it's, sort of, whipping the cream,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34so it helps it thicken. It's made a big difference.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'm so glad I did that.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I am going to level my cakes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42This is whipped double cream.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46This is orange buttercream, just to crumb-coat my cake.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49A crumb coat is a thin layer of buttercream which helps
0:14:49 > 0:14:52any subsequent layers of icing stick to the cake.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04This is a fondant board, and it just helps things not stick.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Rather than, like, using fondant, I'm just covering it in ganache,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11which should be quicker.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13And I don't like fondant anyway.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm just going to crumb-coat it lightly,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17just cos I haven't got enough time.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm just going to...
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Bakers, you've only got 15 minutes left on your final Showstopper.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Come on.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I just have to pipe rosettes on the bottom,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51which I'm really good at doing, and I'm quite quick as well.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Pipe like the wind.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I do feel like decoration is one of my strong points.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02I was meant to put a crumb coat on this part, but I've run out of time.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Tyrese, that is looking brilliant, mate.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I'm in the zone.- He's in the zone. - He's in the zone.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- NADIYA:- I don't envy them, because
0:16:34 > 0:16:37this is the most crucial point, and this is the big one really.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Oh, what's happening?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Tyrese, he hasn't got anything to fix the buttercream on to?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Yeah.- It's beginning to slip off.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- MACY:- I'm going to use these strawberries around the edge.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's not looking very good.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Oh, God.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The rosettes are falling off.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08HE SIGHS
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Just two minutes, bakers, and all the hard work is over.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16It keeps slipping down.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Cos they're falling down, I'm just going to, like, spread it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28This is not what I wanted to do.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32They're sugar diamonds.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Oh, this is my crown.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38OK, bakers, that is it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Step away from your Showstopper for the final time.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Well done.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Hmm... Oh, gosh.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm really glad that's over.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57'I am proud of myself for using my initiative,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'but I wish that I had left myself more time to crumb-coat'
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and then put the buttercream roses on.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07In the end, the Showstopper bake did go, actually, really well.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10'I think I have quite a good chance of being crowned'
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Junior Bake Off champion. But as does everyone else,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16because I feel like everyone's done really well over the last two days.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21'I baked my heart out, so hopefully the inside tastes nice.'
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yeah, I'm quite nervous, but fingers crossed.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Macy, for the last time,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43could you please bring your cake up to our judges?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56We asked you for a cake for a royal garden party,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and we got exactly that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00That is stunning.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It just sings of Great Britain in the summertime.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's a beautiful thing.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09We're judges, we've got to say it, it's a little bit on the wonk, Macy.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11But it's a big cake.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It's meant to be family-sized.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Yeah. Royal-family-sized. - Let's go.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22That's a nice-looking cake.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Mmm!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The Genoese is perfectly baked.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36It's a very pale, elegant shade of white.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39The raspberry, the Genoese, the ganache on top,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40it's a delicious combination.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The jam is just a delight.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45This just sums up you as a baker.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Thank you very much, Macy.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Thank you.- Well done.- Well done, Macy.- Well done, Macy.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Tyrese, over your time in the tent,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11we have known you to be a very clever baker, and to me,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13this is a clever bake.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You've made this fantastic crown on the top here,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18which is exactly what our Queen wears.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21We've got this gorgeous old-school top half,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24and any graffiti artist would be very proud of that.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Things don't always go right,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29but you produced a plan B that I think has a lovely effect.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Let's get into it. - Can I just move your crown?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Oh, hello, loads of crown jewels under there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Mm-hmm. Nice.- I like it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Look at that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Right...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Wow. What a colour!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Just glorious.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's delicious. I can taste the cocoa.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53You get the buttermilk as well.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56There is an almost tart taste of the buttermilk.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It would have looked better if I had more time.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm not sure that it ever would have tasted any better, Tyrese.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- It's a great cake. Thank you. - Well done, mate.- Well done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It's good.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27That is absolutely...stunning.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29It really is a thing of beauty, Nikki.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32All of your flowers are beautiful - the daisies, the chrysanthemums,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34the roses, obviously.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39And then the crown on top - I mean, that is a proper Showstopper topper.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Let's look at what you've got inside.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Oh, Nikki, that's rather pretty.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49That is, kind of, not fair. Look at her slice and look at mine.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Just watch this.- Oh-ho-ho! - It's kind of unfair, right?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We've got even layers.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58They're well-baked. Love the bursts of raspberries in there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Thank you.- Gives it a lovely colour.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09You know your flavours.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It just all works really, really well together.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15The white chocolate ganache tastes delicious cos you actually need that
0:22:15 > 0:22:17extra creaminess to cope with all of that sponge.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's massive. It's well-baked.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22They're nice and light and, all in all, I think that is spectacular.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29APPLAUSE
0:22:29 > 0:22:32As Nikki, Tyrese and Macy make their way outside
0:22:32 > 0:22:35to the royal garden party, the judges must decide
0:22:35 > 0:22:39which of the finalists has baked their way to victory.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Well, here we are again, judges. It's the end of the day.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47This is our last, or I should say your last, deliberation.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52This morning you said that Nikki was slightly ahead of our other
0:22:52 > 0:22:55two bakers. How has it gone today?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I mean, we've got three cakes, all of which reflect their
0:22:58 > 0:23:01personalities that we've come to know so well.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And Tyrese, probably the place to start - he was disappointed.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Actually, the taste is delicious.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10He made the best of a bad situation, and that's really important in here.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13The one that I'm looking at now, which is Macy's...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Just give me a fork. I'm in there. That looks stunning.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17She did really well today, didn't she?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's so perfect for this occasion.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's intricate. It's exact. It's exactly what she wanted.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So, moving on, finally, to Nikki.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28From the get-go, she was off and she was focused, in the zone.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I mean, she really did deliver a cracking cake.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Beautiful.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38So, judges, have you got your winner?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39- We think we have.- We have.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Wow.- A direct answer.- Wow.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47APPLAUSE
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Oh. Bakers, friends, family,
0:24:00 > 0:24:05welcome to a rather British Junior Bake Off royal garden party.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Now, we are, of course, here to celebrate our fantastic finalists,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12they really have been a pleasure to have in the tent.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Give them a round of applause. They've been brilliant.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17APPLAUSE Finalists, come and join us.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Now, your bakes have been absolutely awesome,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33but after much deliberation,
0:24:33 > 0:24:39Allegra and Nadiya have decided that the winner of Junior Bake Off
0:24:39 > 0:24:422016 is...
0:24:49 > 0:24:50..Nikki.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Hey, hey, hey!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well done, Nikki. Here you go.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- It's very heavy.- Thank you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well done, darling.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Thank you so much.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15SHE LAUGHS HAPPILY
0:25:15 > 0:25:17'Oh, my gosh. I can't really put into'
0:25:17 > 0:25:20words how unexpected this feels.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Well done, darling. You were brilliant.- Thank you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I never in a million years or a blue moon thought that I'd be
0:25:25 > 0:25:28the winner of Junior Bake Off.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Thank you so much. - Can I give you a hug?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Well done.- Thank you so much.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36We picked Nikki to be the winner of Junior Bake Off because she gave us
0:25:36 > 0:25:39imagination, amazing flavour combinations...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42She bakes with her heart and you could see that in her bakes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Hey, didn't you do well?- Thank you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Nikki is nothing short of an exceptional, extraordinary baker.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51She's grown throughout this competition and, with confidence,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53her bakes just got better and better.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Guys, you did so well, seriously.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56- MACY:- I'm really proud of
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Nikki and I think she deserved to win because all her
0:25:59 > 0:26:00bakes were really, really good.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02'I've learned to believe in myself a little bit more,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04'and I'm definitely going to carry on'
0:26:04 > 0:26:06and I'm going to try to keep getting better and better.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Hey, give me a hug!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- TYRESE:- I'm just really happy with myself.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Fantastic!- 'Being in the final is, like, a great achievement.'
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I'm going to cherish these memories for a very long time,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17like, a very long time.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Come on up.- Come on up. - Come on up!- Come on!
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Just over the moon. - Absolutely can't believe it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Nikki's just a believer that whatever's going on,
0:26:25 > 0:26:26however sad you are,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29there's always something that you can do that will cheer you up,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32and that's, I think, what baking became to her, really.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Don't cry!
0:26:33 > 0:26:38And the fact that she's won it is just the most awesomest thing.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39APPLAUSE
0:26:39 > 0:26:44She'll show people that no matter how hard you feel that your life is,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46there is always a bright day out there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48All you have to do is try your hardest and keep on smiling
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and you'll get there.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- NIKKI:- It's given me a lot of confidence
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and it's made me feel good about myself.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Baking is the one thing that keeps me going,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and to have been so good at it and got an award,
0:27:00 > 0:27:01it just means everything.
