0:01:41 > 0:01:4210-year-old Ella.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Ella is at home right now with her family, doing her homework.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Hopefully her dad can let me in
0:01:48 > 0:01:50so I can surprise unsuspecting Ella

0:01:54 > 0:01:56'It's going to be the biggest surprise of her life.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58'Let the Turbo Boost begin.'
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Hello, Ella.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04I'm Turbo. And you are going to be Turbo Boosted.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yay!
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Over the next four weeks,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10you're going to be put through your baking paces
0:02:10 > 0:02:13by an expert celebrity baker
0:02:13 > 0:02:15who is at the top of his field.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19After that four weeks, you are going to bake a birthday cake
0:02:19 > 0:02:22for CBBC star Cel Spellman.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I know him! LAUGHTER
0:02:25 > 0:02:31And you're going to present him his birthday cake live on air on CBBC.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- How does that make you feel?- Happy.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yeah? No, more. I don't know what words to use.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Well, congratulations, give me a high-five.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46My name's Ella and I'm ten years old
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and I love baking.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51This is my mum, Laura, and she loves smiling.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53My nan, Ros, and she loves baking as well.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56My dad, Tony, and he tells bad jokes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59My sister, Gracie, and she loves playing in the paddling pool.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And this is my family.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I love baking because it's very fun
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and you get to make up desserts and use your imagination.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12She'd bake every day if she had the chance.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I don't think we'd have a big enough shopping budget
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- to allow Ella to bake as much as she'd like.- Nan started me baking.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20She looked lovely in her little apron.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We always go through her cookbooks and look at everything.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25She's always bringing me a cake of what she's made
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and she's so full of life.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36The best thing to bake in the whole world is chocolate cake.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- She loves chocolate.- Ella is without doubt a chocoholic.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Milk chocolate.- Chocolate meringue.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Dark chocolate.- Chocolate cookies.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Chilli chocolate. - Chocolate cake, chocolate icing,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and chocolate ice cream as well.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Ella's dream is to create and bake amazing cakes.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Over the next four weeks, I'm going to Turbo Boost her baking talent
0:03:58 > 0:04:01so she can make the ultimate birthday cake
0:04:01 > 0:04:03for CBBC's Cel Spellman.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Ceallach Spellman!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07But it's no ordinary birthday - it's his 18th,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and she's got to present it live on TV.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So it needs to taste and look amazing.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So, Ella, why did you want to be Turbo Boosted?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Because I thought that I'm getting to the stage of good,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23but I just need an extra push to make me fantastic.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And how hard do you think you're going to have to work
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- in your Turbo Boost?- The birthday cake's going to be a challenge.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Now, to make sure you are super-ready
0:04:31 > 0:04:33for your Final Challenge,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37you are going to need a top cake-making mentor.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42So, I had a look online to see who ...was the best with the cake mix,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and this is what I found.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49'One of the UK's hottest baking stars,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53'John Whaite has been tutored by master baker Paul Hollywood...'
0:04:53 > 0:04:54It looks special.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's a good choux pastry.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58'..and the Queen of Cakes, Mary Berry.'
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I think you've done well.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'And he's on his way to help Ella bake the perfect cake...'
0:05:04 > 0:05:09'The winner of the Great British Bake Off 2012 is...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'John.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- '..right now.'- Hi, Ella.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I've heard that you're a really good, passionate, talented baker.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So shall we get cracking on your first Masterclass?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Yes.- Let's go and make some cakes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The expert's here, it's time to bake.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I'm going to watch you bake your batch of chocolate cupcakes,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and that's me assessing your baking.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32The first thing you need to do is to get your scales out.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33'Ella makes a confident start.'
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That's 40g of cocoa.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38The sides now.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41'But John's shocked by her technique.'
0:05:41 > 0:05:45It's all over the counter, it's all over the cupboards. It's everywhere.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48'She was sort of clawing it out of the bag with her fingernails.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50'It was awful. It took about 10 minutes'
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- to get the butter out of the bag. - Very messy.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You've massacred it! Look...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58'Ella's a messy baker, and for a professional like John,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00'that's a big problem.'
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'm being hit by butter.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06'Halfway through, I want to find out how she's getting on.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Hi, John. You all right? - Yeah, good.- How's it going?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11This is one of the most important parts,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14actually getting your mixture distributed evenly.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's one of the most difficult parts, so we'll see how she does.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'Ella needs equal amounts of cake mixture in the cases
0:06:20 > 0:06:22'so each cake rises evenly.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26'Uneven amounts of mixture can cause burnt cakes.'
0:06:27 > 0:06:29'It's into the oven they go,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and 15 minutes later they're ready,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34'though John's instantly spotted a problem.'
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- That one's a bit burnt, isn't it?- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42'She's messy, and her cakes are burnt. It's not a great start.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'But most importantly, do they taste good?'
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Nice and light. Well done, Ella. - Really well done.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Lovely.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54She knows how to make a cake, she knows how to follow a recipe,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56which is a good start. But she's a mucky pup.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So what we need to do is work out more efficient ways
0:06:58 > 0:07:02for her to get everything prepared, organised and baked.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'Being tidy and organised when baking is essential.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11'If not, you might get your ingredients mixed up,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13'which would mean disaster.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17'John can see Ella's baking skills are good but basic.'
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You're a bit messy, you know? You use your hands
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and you get all your fingernails in the butter and stuff.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23You need to improve.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25'With some new tips and advice,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28'John shows Ella how to make her cupcakes his way.'
0:07:28 > 0:07:30We need to make sure that you're organised.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34If you can get everything into one bowl straightaway, you're sorted.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Get a clean, damp cloth with you at all times
0:07:36 > 0:07:39so you can wipe the surface down, wipe your hands with it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40You can see that it's really easy,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43with a little bit of elbow grease, just to mix it together,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and that way you're not using an electric whisk
0:07:45 > 0:07:47and it's flying all over the kitchen,
0:07:47 > 0:07:48hitting the cat on the face.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50'The mixture's ready to go.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53'and John shows Ella a better, cleaner method
0:07:53 > 0:07:55'of getting it into the cupcake cases.'
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Just piping it in, and it's so much quicker and so much easier.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01And that way if you have got any big air bubbles,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04squeezing it through this piping bag will expel those air bubbles
0:08:04 > 0:08:05and makes it an even consistency.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- 'It's the end of the first Masterclass.'- There you go.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11'Ella needs to get cleaned up,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13'but she also needs new cooking skills
0:08:13 > 0:08:16'if she's going to pull off baking the biggest cake of her life
0:08:16 > 0:08:18'and present it live on TV.'
0:08:18 > 0:08:21When celebrities have birthday cakes,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23they go and get one designed by a cake designer,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26who knows about flavour combinations,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29about designing a cake, about sugar craft and sculpting.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So I think I should send you off with Turbo
0:08:32 > 0:08:35to enhance more your design skills and your flavour-combination skills.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- How does that sound? - Yes.- Cool.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The hardest bit of my Masterclass
0:08:41 > 0:08:43is when he says I've got to be clean,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46because when I do all my cakes, I'm really messy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49It's going to be a really hard challenge.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It's his 18th birthday cake and I'm quite worried about that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58I've got to make sure that it's fantastic, so, loads of research.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Ella's a massive chocolate fan,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06but John thinks she needs to be more clued up
0:09:06 > 0:09:10on the flavours top chefs add to chocolate when using it in baking.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Time for another lesson.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16To give her some ideas for her final bake,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'm meeting her at one of the best chocolatiers in the UK.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24'Paul A Young is one of the UK's leading experts
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'in everything chocolate.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29'From creating unusual-flavoured handmade chocolates
0:09:29 > 0:09:34'to writing a cookbook, you guessed it, all about chocolate.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36'He's going to show Ella how chocolate
0:09:36 > 0:09:39'can come in many different flavours.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42'Ella's final challenge is to make an 18th birthday cake.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'Paul wants to teach her that using some of these other flavours
0:09:45 > 0:09:47'can give her cake the wow factor.'
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I've got some essential oils.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Now, essential oils are the natural flavours from flowers
0:09:53 > 0:09:55and fruits and trees and spices.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56So, I'm going to let you smell them,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I want to see if you can guess what the flavours are.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01What do you think that is?
0:10:01 > 0:10:07- Peppermint. Smells orangey.- Yeah, exactly right, orange.- Cinnamon.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Excellent. Wow, you're brilliant. That's fantastic.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Now, which ones did you like? You smelt...- All of them.- All of them?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17'Ella needs to learn how to distinguish between what
0:10:17 > 0:10:21'she likes and what she loves with these subtle flavours.'
0:10:21 > 0:10:23With your spatula. While you mix,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm going to put the other one you like, the cinnamon leaf, which
0:10:26 > 0:10:31we know tastes a bit Christmassy, but it's really, really lovely.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34'Mixing too many together could be a recipe for disaster.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37'She's got to get the balance just right.'
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Those flavours are really nice. - What do you think?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Perhaps a bit more mint. - A bit more?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43We only put one drop, didn't we?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45So, do you want to put two or three more drops in?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53That is lovely, isn't it? I love that.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- So, Paul, how is Ella doing? - Ella is fantastic at identifying
0:10:57 > 0:11:00flavours and smells. So a natural foodie.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05'Ella's skill to create interesting flavour combinations has improved.'
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Mmm! Chocolate.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'But it's not long until her love for chocolate
0:11:09 > 0:11:12'gets the better of her.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14'If Ella's going to make it as a professional baker,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17'she's going to have to say goodbye to her messy ways.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19'It's time for me to step in.'
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Ella, step away from the chocolate pot!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Put it down.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26'With the masterclass over, Paul and I can see there's
0:11:26 > 0:11:29'a definite problem that needs sorting out once and for all.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The weakest point she has is cleanliness and working tidily.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Start a job, finish it, clean down, start the next part.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Although I absolutely love chocolate...
0:11:43 > 0:11:44..I think I ate too much of it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49I still love chocolate and that's never going to put me off.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'm now enjoying the spatula.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55And all of the things that I learnt from today,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58like how to explore the flavours of chocolate,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01are going to push me just that extra step higher.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Hi, Ella. - 'Ella's been Turbo Boosted.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08'She's got four weeks to bake a birthday cake
0:12:08 > 0:12:12'that'll be shown on national TV. She's learnt tricks of the trade...'
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- So, you're just piping it in. - '..mixed new flavours...'
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Perhaps, a bit more mint.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18'..but Ella's still not taking staying clean
0:12:18 > 0:12:20'in the kitchen seriously.'
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Step away from the chocolate pot.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24'And this could mean her final challenge ends up
0:12:24 > 0:12:25'being a real mess.'
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Today, Ella has to up her game.
0:12:29 > 0:12:36It's all about precision, detail and perfection. No mucking about.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39'A successful professional baker has a good sense of flavour
0:12:39 > 0:12:41'and the skill to experiment with ingredients.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44'But they also need artistic flair to create cakes
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'that look like works of art.'
0:12:47 > 0:12:50'There's only two weeks till her final challenge
0:12:50 > 0:12:52'and a long way to go.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56'It's time for me to turn up the heat and set her a mini challenge.'
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You're going to cook a dessert for a special taster
0:13:03 > 0:13:06who is going to judge you on how good you are.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- You excited?- Yes.- You ready?- Yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Let's go inside.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13'Ella's meeting award-winning pastry chef Melissa Paul.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16'She's an expert, with the title Young Patisserie Chef Of The Year
0:13:16 > 0:13:18'under her belt.'
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Hello, Melissa.- Hello.- This is Ella.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Hi, Ella. Welcome to the kitchen.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24'She's going to take Ella's neatness
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'and presentation skills to a new height.'
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Ella's going to be making a very special cake.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It's a classic French cake. It's a strawberry fraisier.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Oh, that looks really yummy.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Not only are you going to be making this dessert,
0:13:38 > 0:13:45but it's also going to be tasted and judged by top chef John Torode.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Really?- Really, really.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50'John Torode is one of the UK's top TV chefs.'
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Alice, come on, come on, come on.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54'He's known for his expert culinary judgment,
0:13:54 > 0:13:59'and his short, sharp temper. And when he's testing food, he's tough.'
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Where's my food?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'If anyone can put Ella to the test
0:14:02 > 0:14:04'and boost her baking skills, he can.'
0:14:06 > 0:14:09There are three components - the sponge, vanilla mousse,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11there's a raspberry and strawberry compote.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15'This complicated dessert is all about presentation,
0:14:15 > 0:14:16'precision and neatness.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19'A world away from Ella's experience,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20'but skills she needs to master.'
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm feeling worried about making a cake for John Torode,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26because I haven't made anything like this before.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29First of all, we're going to make a meringue for the sponge.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32You put the egg white in the bowl and as it whisks,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34you gradually add the sugar to it
0:14:34 > 0:14:37until it becomes really light and fluffy.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40'Adding a meringue mixture will create a much sweeter
0:14:40 > 0:14:42'and lighter sponge, known as a genoise.'
0:14:42 > 0:14:43That's it.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47'Ella's trying hard not to make a mess - it's a tough task.'
0:14:47 > 0:14:48- That's fine.- OK.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50'While the sponge is cooking,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53'Melissa reminds Ella about the rules of a professional kitchen.'
0:14:53 > 0:14:56So, Ella, it's very important that we wash everything,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59wash up and clean down before starting the next task.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03'This is something Ella's not been great at over the past two weeks,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06'but she seems to be finally upping her game.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09'With a good job done and John Torode on his way,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11'Ella's got to get a move on.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:14How are you feeling, are you feeling confident?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I've just got to try my hardest, because I know he's harsh sometimes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20He can be harsh, he's a perfectionist.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24'And John Torode's also very punctual.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28'As Ella makes the raspberry compote for the top of the dessert,
0:15:28 > 0:15:29'the pressure's on.'
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Hello, Ella.- Hello.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35How much more work have you got to do?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Quite a lot of work, cos I've got to put it all together.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41'And while Ella tries to delicately piece the strawberry fraisier
0:15:41 > 0:15:45'together, John tells me just how hard this dessert is to make.'
0:15:45 > 0:15:49If that little bit of square cake doesn't fit exactly into the box,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52then all the bits fall down the bottom and it looks like a trifle,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55rather than looking like something which is precise and beautiful.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57How you doing, Ella?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- I'm good.- Better taste good.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03'She's been precise with ingredients, delicate with flavour
0:16:03 > 0:16:06'and now it's about presentation.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08'Time to be judged.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:12'Ella needs to impress John
0:16:12 > 0:16:15'and show that her baking skills are at the highest level.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18'She'll need these skills to create Cel's perfect cake.'
0:16:18 > 0:16:20There we go.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27'Ella's dessert is finally ready. John's waiting.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30'Has she done enough to balance the delicate flavours
0:16:30 > 0:16:31'and create the perfect cake
0:16:31 > 0:16:34'or is it going to be a mixed-up, messy trifle?'
0:16:36 > 0:16:39'It's the moment of truth.'
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Wow.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I can smell the fruit, I can smell the vanilla,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48I can smell the little whiff of chocolate coming off the top of it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51'It may look good, but how does it taste?'
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It is truly, truly delicious.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Not just delicious, though, sophisticated and really clever.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Good job.- How do you feel about those comments?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Really, really, really happy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08She's done some baking. Now she's done a little bit of pastry work.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Now, what she's got to do is understand who she's cooking for.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Ella really nailed her detail, precision and perfection.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20And John was very impressed with her fraisier.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23But he did tell me that she needed to know
0:17:23 > 0:17:26who she is baking for to make that perfect cake.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32'Cel Spellman's one of the top presenters
0:17:32 > 0:17:35'on Friday Download and CBBC.'
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Hello, welcome back to the CBBC office with Cel
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- and say your name.- Dodge.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42'He's a fun-loving guy who's turning 18
0:17:42 > 0:17:45'and it's Ella's job to make his birthday cake memorable.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48'With John's advice fresh in her mind, Ella gets planning.'
0:17:50 > 0:17:53John Torode told me that when I make a cake,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I've got to plan it all like a story.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And that story will lead to a beautiful cake.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I know so far he likes light blue.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And I know that he likes his dog, Bella,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10so I think I've got enough information,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm just going to write it down and check.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Really hard to write with this pen.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21'Ella's compiled her research on a mood board
0:18:21 > 0:18:26'and is meeting her mentor, John, at one of the UK's top cake stores.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29'They've designed for Union J, Little Mix
0:18:29 > 0:18:31and Liam from One Direction.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33'I'm hoping with their help,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36'Ella will perfect the overall design for her celebrity cake.'
0:18:37 > 0:18:41So you are here for your third and final masterclass. Are you nervous?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Yes.- You should be, it is a big cake to do.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Ella needs to make a cake that fits Cel's personality and taste buds,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50so I have given John some insider info from his CBBC friends.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54OK, Turbo has done a little bit of research and asked some of
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Cel's friends about what he wants, like flavours and style.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Let's have a look at what they say.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I think he is a bit of a chocolate person.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Hamster.- That's not a flavour!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I'd say, put some blue icing on there for Manchester City.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'd just opt for strawberry or chocolate.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He is obviously really stylish, really trendy.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Maybe put a big quiff on there, that would be good.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Have you got some thoughts buzzing around your head?- Yes.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Shall we go and get designing it? - Yes.- Come on then, let's go.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Ella has got some ambitious ideas about how the cake will look.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25This is my mood board.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And she is showing them to top cake designer, Steve.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30This is his dog, called Bella.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I was thinking perhaps he could have a small body, a big head
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and his hair could go straight up like that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I was also thinking of making a big house.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Yeah, that sounds quite a task.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It is all very well to have grand ideas.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But her cake decorations have to look brilliant
0:19:51 > 0:19:55if they are to reach the superstar standard that is expected.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57We've got some cream-coloured sugar paste here which is
0:19:57 > 0:20:00just like Plasticine, it is nice and pliable to use.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Ella is getting stuck in, piecing together a model of Cel.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Making perfect sugar craft models takes years of practising.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Then do I need to put some...?- That's it. A bit of water so it sticks.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13With what she learns here today, at home,
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Ella will have just one week to get her model right for Cel's birthday
0:20:18 > 0:20:19- cake.- Is that OK?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Next, Ella is creating Cel's dog Bella.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25But getting this right is not straightforward.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Let's have a look, Ella. - I can't do this!- You can.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You are doing perfectly, it's looking good.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35It doesn't look anything like a dog. It looks like a lizard.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39For this cake, presentation is everything.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42As Ella is delivering it to Cel on CBBC,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44it will be seen by every viewer.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48If her models do not look good on the day, it will be a disaster.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Perhaps if I just stick to cakes!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54You can make a dog like that in a week.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It is the end of the masterclass
0:20:56 > 0:21:00and Ella has decided that she wants more than just a chocolate cake.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02John pushes her for a decision.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05With the orange and the chocolate or the raspberry and chocolate?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Only you can decide, Ella.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Could you mix them?- Chocolate, orange and raspberry? Deal.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14She has made a start to some of the sugar craft models
0:21:14 > 0:21:17but she has a long way to go to reach the high standards needed,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and she is still working on the overall look.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The quiff needs to be really long, I want it to be bigger.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28With the house on a football pitch, a model of Cel
0:21:28 > 0:21:30and his quiff, and Bella the dog to make,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Ella's final challenge in a week's time is going to be tough.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I found the modelling really hard. That is why I wanted to practise it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Last time, my dog went absolutely wrong.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51Stick the tail on to the bottom. Is that right?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I can't do a dog, you see. I give up.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Over the last four weeks, Ella has gone from cupcake baker to
0:22:05 > 0:22:09patisserie maker, developing baking skills for life.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12But will she pull off the ultimate 18th birthday
0:22:12 > 0:22:16cake for one of CBBC's biggest stars?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It is the day of Ella's cake bake.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26She has met her mentor, John, at one of the most famous bakeries
0:22:26 > 0:22:27in London.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Their customers include megastars like Madonna and the Rolling Stones.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Ella has just four hours to bake the biggest cake she has ever made.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40She needs to stay neat, tidy, focused and most importantly,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42professional today.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46With no time to lose, Ella gets baking her spectacular cake,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48fit to wow on TV.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The chocolate orange sponge base will use 36 eggs,
0:22:52 > 0:22:58seven bags of flour, the zest of 16 oranges and 100 bars of chocolate.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- It's massive.- A very big cake. - The biggest cake I have made.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06With the ingredients in, it's time to mix.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Ella has come a long way from using her hand-held whisk at home.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13This is going to be the base of the football pitch.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- The mixture is ready for baking. - It's bigger than our oven!
0:23:18 > 0:23:22And 30 minutes later, the chocolate and orange sponge is ready.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It's worked, did you think it was going to work?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I was worrying about the flavours.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28With five layers of sponge built,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Ella is adding her third flavour, the raspberry jam filling.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Another blob or two should do it. - It is taking shape.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Time to focus on the cake decoration.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I wanted a football pitch with Cel
0:23:42 > 0:23:46sitting down with his dog, Bella.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48But his head is going to be really big.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51And I wanted his quiff to be even bigger.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54OK, that is a lot of work.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ella has been practising making models at home
0:23:56 > 0:23:59but still does not know how to build Cel's quiff.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Time is running out.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Baking expert Eben concentrates on creating the edible quiff,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08and Ella focuses on the centrepiece of the cake, Cel's house.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12With the football pitch ready and the house taking shape,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16there is still the small, or rather large matter, of Cel's quiff.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- But Eben has come up with a plan. - This is my secret ingredient.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Marshmallows are a great foundation for Ella to apply royal icing to.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Ella's nearly done it. The problem is, time is up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And she has got to get to the CBBC studios
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and present it live on TV to Cel.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40But before Ella goes, John wants one final taste test.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Ella, I can safely say, as a baker,
0:24:41 > 0:24:47your cake not only looks incredible with the quiff, it tastes amazing.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50But, Ella, unfortunately it is no longer down to me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51It is up to Cel
0:24:51 > 0:24:55and I just hope you have done enough to please him for his 18th birthday.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02I'm meeting Ella at the CBBC studios and Cel is already on air.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Welcome to the CBBC office with Cel and Dodge.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08And she still has to put the finishing touches to the cake.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Is there anything else you need to finish on this now?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yes, Cel and his dog.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Be careful.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Getting the model of Cel's dog Bella just
0:25:16 > 0:25:19right has been a huge problem over the past week.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22She has put a lot of time and effort into creating it at home.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29- Ella, that is a huge hairdo. Is it very delicate?- Yes. Whoo!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You have got it, you have got it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Bom! Look at that. She's done it.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Ella has designed, baked and built the biggest cake of her life.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Ella, ready to go?- Yes.- Let's do it.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44As we head to the studio, I have arranged for her nervous family
0:25:44 > 0:25:49to watch the presentation on a giant screen outside the CBBC studios.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Counting to on-air in 10...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's live on TV and it is a big thing
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- so I have been sensing her nerves a little bit.- Ella cannot rush.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The cake has got to arrive in one piece, but time is running out.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Every CBBC viewer is about to see Ella's cake live on air.
0:26:07 > 0:26:14She arrives just in time. The big question now is, will Cel like it?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Cel, you know it's your birthday in one week?- In two weeks.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21I don't care when it is, but I do know someone who does care.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's Ella and Turbo from Turbo Boost!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26THEY SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Cel's abroad on his actual birthday
0:26:34 > 0:26:38and he cannot believe the size of his early celebration.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44- Did you make this?- Yes.- How? Is this...? Is that my hair?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- I'm going to try and get some out. - Taste it, Cel.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- Look at the size of it.- Thank you so much!- Cel is blown away.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Ella has smashed it and he loves it. - This is so nice.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05With a job well done, Ella rushes out to celebrate with her family.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Well done! You did really well. - That was really nice, Ella.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I was really, really pleased.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14When I get home I am going to keep on baking
0:27:14 > 0:27:16until I come the best baker in the world.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It has been a day to remember for passionate young baker, Ella.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21She smashed her final challenge,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25proving that she can be a creative and confident cake maker.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Cel loved his 18th birthday cake inside and out,
0:27:28 > 0:27:34leaving me in no doubt that Ella has been Turbo Boosted to the max.
