0:00:02 > 0:00:04The Great British Bake Off is back...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- On your marks.- Get set.- Bake!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09..with 12 new bakers braving the tent...
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Argh!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14..all hoping to impress Paul and Mary.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Fresh bakers with fresh challenges.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I'm expecting the unexpected.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Ta-daa!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24CHEERING
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I bet you weren't expecting that, Mary.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Time for An Extra Slice.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30CHEERING
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hello, and welcome.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59It's great to be back,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02because I've nearly finished the cakes from the last series.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Did everyone enjoy the first week in the tent?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- AUDIENCE:- Yes!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10So, what have our illustrious judges and presenting duo
0:01:10 > 0:01:11been up to while they've been away?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Well, you're not going to believe this,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15but Paul has joined the KGB.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Here he is using his top-secret code phrase in front of Mary.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23My nipples are pointing east, Mary.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm really interested in that.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Mary's been overdoing the sunbathing.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'm definitely getting an overcooked crust.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And Mel and Sue have learnt absolutely nothing.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Where did you get the orange juice from?- The orange.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Cake Week has seen tears flowing and sponge-throwing,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50but the bakers were determined to stay focused.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Val, for example, continued to practise her bakes at home
0:01:53 > 0:01:57despite the faulty underfloor heating being stuck on max.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And they're an ambitious lot, too.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06As Andrew checked his cake tin ready for the Showstopper,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09there was concern that it might not fit in the oven.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Here on An Extra Slice,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'll be joined each week by a panel of celebrity fans,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and later, we'll get to meet the baker who left the tent.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24This week, it was Lee.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30He'll be here in a bit, and he's brought along a second attempt
0:02:30 > 0:02:32at the bake that really let him down.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Mm, I wonder which one of the three he'll have a go at.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Ohh!
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- Oh!- Ohh!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh, it's a joke.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Anyway, there's definitely at least one viewer
0:02:43 > 0:02:46who knows exactly how Lee felt when things were going wrong.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's Charlotte from Buckinghamshire,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51who decided to try her hand at some macarons.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Here's how they were supposed to turn out.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And after carefully following the recipe
0:02:56 > 0:02:58for 16 macarons to the letter,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00here's how Charlotte's turned out.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Six blobs on a plate.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Well done, Charlotte.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09And there are plenty more photos where that came from,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11although just to be clear,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14they're not all from Charlotte's kitchen.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17So, what about here in the studio? Have you been baking?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- AUDIENCE:- Yes!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I can't wait to find out what you've brought along,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25and spare a thought for this lot who are going to try some of them.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Let's meet them while they're still hale and hearty.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31First up, it's a chef, writer and broadcaster
0:03:31 > 0:03:34who is the Mary Berry of Junior Bake Off
0:03:34 > 0:03:38and who says she'd be happy never to see another cupcake in her life.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's Allegra McEvedy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41CHEERING
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Next, it's an actress who plays Kim Fox in EastEnders
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and who says she's so scared of tiramisu,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52she calls it terror-misu.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- That's right.- It's Tameka Empson.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55CHEERING
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Hello, hello.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Thank you, thank you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And finally, a comedian and Bake Off super-fan
0:04:02 > 0:04:05who says he has the taste buds of a five-year-old.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06It's Hal Cruttenden.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08CHEERING
0:04:13 > 0:04:16So, why are you scared of tiramisu, Tameka?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I love a tiramisu. Anybody knows me, I love a tiramisu.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So I did a cooking show and they taught me how to make it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So I went home, I thought, "Yeah, it's easy-peasy."
0:04:24 > 0:04:26And it took for ever.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I couldn't find the whisk, and I was whisking single cream.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31You can't whisk single cream.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And I was... It was just a state. It was a state.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It took me hours. Like, proper, like, three and a half hours.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37At the end of it,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40it didn't look like anything like I planned it to be,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and it's just been a terror, it was a terrible experience.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- You don't even have to cook it, though, Tameka.- OK next...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48LAUGHTER
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Allegra, what is your beef with cupcakes?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Everyone loves a cupcake, surely.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, it's twofold, really.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56One is, they're an American import
0:04:56 > 0:04:58and they are knocking out the fairy cake
0:04:58 > 0:05:00that you and I were all brought up on.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Cupcakes are inferior.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05They are basically a simple sponge, and it's all about the icing,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and the icing is not the cake.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's the cake that's the cake, Jo.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Hal, as a long-time fan of Bake Off,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14what are you actually hoping to see in the tent this year?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Last year, everybody got very emotional.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Virtually everybody cried, and even Mary cried, didn't she?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23In the last thing, they had a moment...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I want to see Paul cry in the tent.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Don't you? I want somebody to produce a bake so good
0:05:29 > 0:05:31that it breaks him, that he's, like, "I can't do that,"
0:05:31 > 0:05:35and just cries, and he's, like, left an empty husk of a man.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Now, who wants to see some more pictures
0:05:39 > 0:05:41of our viewers' home baking?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- AUDIENCE:- Yes!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Now, we love an animal bake on this show,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and so do Joseph and Lucy from Redcar.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50They had a go at a hedgehog cake they found online,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52so they were aiming for this.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Aww!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55And this is how it turned out.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Bits of Toblerone.- Tob... Yeah!
0:06:02 > 0:06:03I don't think it's that bad.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06It has got Toblerone on it, as you say.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Not as bad as another viewer Caroline's attempt.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14That looks painful.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It looks painful!
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Tameka, be honest.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That's a lot more scary than tiramisu, don't you think?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Wow!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now, Alison from Essex baked a cake for her friend Lucy,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30of Lucy's favourite hen, called Barbara.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32What a great name for a hen. Here's the cake.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And here's the moment Babs met her cake doppelganger.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Ohh!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I mean, that's genuinely an amazing likeness. Which one's the cake?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48A picture now all the way from Japan.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52The Davis family baked a cake of their pet hamster, Purin.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Here's the real Purin. AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56All soft and warm.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And here's Purin in cake form.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Looking like she's been left out of her cage all night in the rain.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08And the animal bakes keep coming.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Thanks to Nina from Essex for this brilliant badger bake.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13AUDIENCE GASP
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Yeah, that's really good, isn't it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Or he would be if badgers were exactly the same shape
0:07:17 > 0:07:19as alligators.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And finally, a farmyard bake
0:07:22 > 0:07:25thanks to the Tilley family in the Lake District.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Their cake is modelled on Dorothy the Highland cow
0:07:27 > 0:07:30who lives in a field at the bottom of the garden.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I wonder if Dorothy the cow is friends with Barbara the hen.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Here's the real Dorothy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Let's see if they've managed to capture the majesty
0:07:39 > 0:07:41of the Highland beast.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47She does have lovely eyelashes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I quite like how they've left her a little cocktail sausage
0:07:52 > 0:07:54on the plate in case she gets hungry.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Aww!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Please do keep sending them in -
0:07:58 > 0:07:59the bakes you're proud of
0:07:59 > 0:08:02or the ones that didn't quite go according to plan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Details at the bottom of the screen.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06So, the tent is up, the bakers are in,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and a brand-new Bake Off is under way.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Let's just remind ourselves what went down in Cake Week.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19The bakers faced their very first Signature Challenge - drizzle cake.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21And Rav got off to a shaky start.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I did have a moment where I panicked
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and I cut myself within 30 seconds of us starting.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Kate got fruity with her bake.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I like the flavour of a Cox.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31They're a good old-fashioned English apple.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34While Tom and Louise cracked open the booze.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Cor!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I can't feel my face any more.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The Technical was a tea-time favourite.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43We don't do that in the south, you know.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Jaffa Cakes.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Michael and Benjamina had a wobble over jelly.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It literally just says, "Make a jelly."
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Val came unstuck with her sponges.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I greased them, but obviously not enough,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57so they're sticking a little bit.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- And Selasi came out on top. - Well done.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01HE PUFFS OUT
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It was time for the bakers to shine in the mirror glaze Showstopper.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Candice's genoise reflected badly on her bake.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I think it looks great, but your plain genoise is awful.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16While Andrew stunned the judges with his creation.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19The genoise is perfect, and the overall look is beautifully simple.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Lee left the tent,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23and Jane's skilful bakes saw her crowned...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Jane.- ..Star Baker.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36So, 12 new bakers. What are your first impressions, Tameka?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I am so gripped. From the first episode...
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I can see the drama.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Bless Benjamina. The tears... The ones who...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It started, and I was with her.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49SHE IMITATES WEEPING
0:09:49 > 0:09:50She's lovely. Love her.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I have a particular favourite. Andrew is my favourite.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I think... Yeah.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58My wife's Northern Irish, and I've got a ginger daughter,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and I feel like he's one of the family.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04He's almost the son I never had.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, I would swap one of my daughters for him. He's...
0:10:06 > 0:10:07LAUGHTER
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I don't want to be creepy about this.- No.- But I love him like a son.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- He's nothing to do with you.- I know! - Allegra, what about you?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Well, having just finished judging Junior Bake Off,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22the kids are definitely a lot calmer than that lot of bag of nerves.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I mean, I have to say, I do like Val,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29because she spent a lot of time wafting her sponge.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What do you make of Val, Hal?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35She's interesting. I think when they ask them to cook a fruitcake,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37she should just stand there going, "Ready."
0:10:37 > 0:10:39She's...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Hal!- What?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44She is... You know...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Ohh!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- She is, though. She's a character, isn't she?- I love Val.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And like me, she's a cake whisperer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You've got to listen to the cake.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Well, she told us
0:10:55 > 0:10:58that they were saying to her when they were ready,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01that she listens to them and they go, "I'm ready, I'm ready."
0:11:01 > 0:11:03She shouldn't listen to them, cos she nearly went out this week.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- So, they're rubbish. - Nerves. It was nerves.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12They're cakes. They don't know when they're ready. They're idiots.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I hope she's hearing nice stuff from the cakes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I hope she's not hearing, "Kill them all."
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well, let's move on to farmer's daughter Kate.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23She prides herself on being a wife and mother.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Her bakes were full of fruit from the family farm.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Should she be bolder with her ingredients, Allegra, do you think?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Even if it involves buying them?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Well... - LAUGHTER
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We all know about that movement of going foraging
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and getting it from your garden, and that's very big,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41you know, in the way that British culture's going, and the baking...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43All of that is good,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45but I think she could do something a little bit more imaginative.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- She's going to have to pull out some stops to win.- Mm.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- She's not going to win on blackberry and apple.- No.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52A little bit of the mask sort of slipped.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Her first bake, it was the Signature Bake she did,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56and Paul didn't like...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Paul said, "I think you've got your flavours a bit wrong there."
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Oh, yes.- And she went, "Oh, that's very disappointing,"
0:12:02 > 0:12:04in a way that if I was Paul,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I'd have checked my brakes before driving home that night.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09She's just...
0:12:09 > 0:12:10On to Louise.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12For her Signature Bake,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14she made an orange liqueur drizzle cake.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And as we can see, it's the spitting image of Zippy.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Now, I'm delighted to say
0:12:25 > 0:12:30that it's time for a celebratory Extra Slice Mexican Bake wave,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32as we've had a series first -
0:12:32 > 0:12:35our first weird ingredient.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37One, two, three, go.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39CHEERING
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Do you know, that was actually quite good.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So, our first weird ingredient was courtesy of Rav,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54who was making an unusual drizzle cake in the Signature.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I am making a ginger-spiced yuzu drizzle cake.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The drizzle is the yuzu juice and some demerara sugar.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- I've never heard of yuzu.- Really?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I love the way he's astonished that no-one's ever heard of it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12"Really? You've never heard of yuzu?"
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Here's what it looks like.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Fairly revolting.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Mel's taste buds soon picked up on the unusual flavour,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22as we can see in this unseen moment.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24That's got a yuzu kick.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- There's no yuzu in it.- There's no yuzu in it, OK.- No, there isn't.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28It's just ginger.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Ah, yes, the distinctive flavour of no yuzu.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Now, the first Showstopper Challenge was to create a mirror glaze cake.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So, whose mirror glaze did you like,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and which ones made you glaze over?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Tameka?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, it would be Jane.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It just came out and took my breath away.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I would have loved to have had a piece of that cake.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yeah, I'm with you. Jane's did look sharp.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59But I actually really liked Selasi's as well,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01because I thought that having the nice red top, the raspberries,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I thought that was really nice.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Everyone's was just brown, brown, chocolate, chocolate.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08All of them did chocolate, which wasn't part of the brief.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11At least his looks like raspberries, I loved the colour of it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I thought Kate's was vaguely sinister.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It was blue, wasn't it? It was like...
0:14:20 > 0:14:21You know, they say she's OK,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24but I think she melted down a Smurf or something.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Was Lee the right person to go?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I think so.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Lovely guy. Lovely guy, from what I saw,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36but the Showstopper, it just stopped.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It wasn't stopping any shows.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I don't think you could...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42And I know he's about to come out, but...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45As a judge, I don't think you could be truly excited
0:14:45 > 0:14:47about his next bake, what he might produce next,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49after he's done, as you said, three bad rounds.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51And I wanted him to stay, cos he's...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I like to have somebody... a minister in, a religious man.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- I had this little theory...- Why?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well, I've got this little thing
0:14:58 > 0:15:01that if he put holy water in a cake and see if Paul gags.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Do you know what I mean? Paul's going, "It burns, it burns."
0:15:08 > 0:15:11That would have been... Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, Lee will be joining us very shortly,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and I'm sure he'll be delighted
0:15:15 > 0:15:17that you all agreed with Paul and Mary,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20that he was the right baker to leave the tent.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Now, in happier news, Jane became the very first Star Baker.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25She's so excited,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28she immediately rushed outside the tent to interview herself.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Can you believe it?!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't believe it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Now, I understand
0:15:37 > 0:15:41that our health and safety officers have been placed on standby,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43so we can now take a closer look
0:15:43 > 0:15:46at some of the bakes brought along by our studio audience.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51And possibly have a taste of one or two of them as well.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Jen and Keira, where are you?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Hello. What have you got there?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We've got a cake burger.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Ooh!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Is the red meant to be, like, sort of undercooked burger?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06No, it's the ketchup.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Oh, it's ketchup. Sorry. Sorry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10The wonderful thing about that is,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13you could eat that the way we really all want to eat cake, which is...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We don't want little slices. That's fantastic.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It looks great. Thank you very much. Well done.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Pamela, where are you?- Here.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Oh, hi, Pamela. Now, tell us about your bake.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's a banting cake. What's that?
0:16:27 > 0:16:32It's a low-carbohydrate, high-fat blueberry and zucchini cake.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- So, define zucchini.- Oh, courgette.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Courgette.- Oh, my God.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- And then it has a cream cheese... lemon icing.- Right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And the drizzle is blueberry and cassis.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- So a healthy cake.- Very.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- With lots of vegetables and booze in it.- Oh, yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Hal, do you want to go and get it? - Yes.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Allegra, what do you think about courgettes in cakes?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well, they do just disappear.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- It's a bit like they just give it moisture and some texture.- Yeah.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, it shouldn't really taste like courgettes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It should just have a nice texture to it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Hopefully.- That looks nice.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Oh, I love the layers.- Nice layers. - Look at that. Ooh, yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- It's a good cake. Really nice. - Thank you.- Really nice and moist.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- The icing's delicious.- Mm! - More booze.- Mm!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Oh, yeah.- More booze next time.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yeah, cos I'm not really tasting anything of the booze.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's just a little in the drizzle.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Need more drizzle.- Oh.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- It's a hit, Pamela. Well done.- Thank you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Emma, where are you?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Hi there, Emma.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Now, your cake takes unusual flavour combinations
0:17:44 > 0:17:46to a whole new level, I believe.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- It's a savoury cake?- Yes.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- It's a savoury cheesecake.- Right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54So it has one layer that is carrot and Cheddar,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58and the top layer is Brie and courgette,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02and it has a sweet chilli soft cheese icing
0:18:02 > 0:18:04with red peppers on the top.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Have you made it specifically for this panel?- Yes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- OK!- Hal, would you like to go and get it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Do we have to?- Yes.- OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Allegra, what are your thoughts on savoury cake?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm in a place of blind panic at the moment.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I like the fact that you took the time
0:18:26 > 0:18:28to make them into heart shapes.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- HAL:- Yeah. - That's nice.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31LAUGHTER
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- It's nice. No, it's nice. It's nice.- That's nice.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No, I love... I love decoration, me. I love a good finish.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It does feel a lot lighter going through it than I thought it would.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's like a rock cake, almost. Remember rock cakes?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Oh, look at that.- Yeah, it's nice.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Nice, nice. - That's not bad looking at all.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Nice.- Not bad looking at all. - Stop prevaricating.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Let's just eat it.- Yes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56TAMEKA LAUGHS
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Hal, what's that like?- Um...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's... No, it's not... It... It...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's not going to hurt you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11LAUGHTER
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Proper bit of advice.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Make them separately into scones and ditch the sweet chilli
0:19:17 > 0:19:18and they'd be delicious.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It's not as bad as we thought.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Well done, Emma. Brilliant.- Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Our final bake has been brought in by Bonnie.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Where are you, Bonnie?- Hello!- Hello!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Now, it's very appropriate,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35given that we've got a lot of washing-up to do
0:19:35 > 0:19:37after tasting those bakes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Tell us about your bake. It looks like washing-up sponge and liquid.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yeah. It's sponge cake. They're sponges.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45But they've worked really badly,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49so I'm not going to lie, it's the worst tasting cake I've ever made.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Right...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52But this is sort of sugar syrup.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Because it's so dry, that helps alleviate that a bit.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57But that's not very pleasant either.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00But it looks like sponges and washing-up liquid.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- I think it looks amazing. - It does.- Really fun idea.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- We think you're amazing. - Thanks.- We do.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Thank you, Bonnie, and thanks very much to all our studio bakers.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Thank you.- Yeah.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Back now to the tent,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and time to meet a man who drew inspiration for his drizzle cake
0:20:20 > 0:20:23from the bells of St Clements, but as the saying goes,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27"Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for Lee."
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Let's give him a warm welcome.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30CHEERING
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Hi, Lee. Nice to see you. Please take a seat.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Hello.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Lee, welcome to An Extra Slice.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- How would you sum up your time in the tent, apart from quite short?- Mm.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It was exciting. I enjoyed it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I was only there a short time,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but, you know, we got a bond between us.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59We all understood how each other felt.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01They were supportive of each other.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03And it was a really good time.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Now, for the Signature,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- you baked an orange and lemon drizzle cake.- Yes.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- And there was a very specific inspiration behind it.- Yes.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- So, oranges and lemons for the bells of St Clements.- Yes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Why did you do that? I do not know, said the great bells of Jo.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Ironically, you dropped a clanger early on in the bake
0:21:22 > 0:21:23with your butter.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25What happened with your butter, Lee?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I should have warmed it, really.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Paul came to me afterwards and he said,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32"Why didn't you just put it in the microwave and warm it up?"
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It was too hard, and I put it into the mixer,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36and I thought it would be all right.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40But I started to put the eggs in, and at one point, it seemed OK.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But when I started to fold the flour in,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45it became evident that it wasn't.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And I'd gone past the point of no return, really.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50There wasn't anything I could do with it then.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Well, let's just see, shall we,
0:21:51 > 0:21:56what Paul and Mary thought of your St Clements bells-inspired drizzle?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You did have a total separation
0:21:59 > 0:22:01when you creamed the butter and sugar together.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03BELL TOLLS
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- And that's why we've got quite an open texture.- Mm.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- BELT TOLLS - Flavour's good.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Texture's awful.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11BELL TOLLS
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- He just loves giving bad news, doesn't he?- He does, he loves it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Now, Paul wasn't overenamoured by the texture of your drizzle cake,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- but he did like the flavour.- He did.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And, apparently, drizzle cake is Paul's favourite,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25so was that nice to hear?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27It was. It was encouraging. He liked...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29He liked the orange curd that I'd done
0:22:29 > 0:22:32on the lemon flavouring, the drizzle, in the sponge as well.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34He thought that the drizzle had gone right through the sponge.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- So, there you go. Some positives. - Yeah. Can take that away.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Focus on that. - Moving on to the Technical.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Were you a fan of Jaffa Cakes before you went into the tent?- Oh, yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49But I've never sat and looked at a Jaffa Cake and thought,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52"What's the design on the top?"
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Who does? I just sit...
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You watch television or do something and eat it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Er...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I know what you mean, because you can be chatting away
0:23:00 > 0:23:03without even realising that you're eating one.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- You don't realise.- Yeah.- Yeah. - Weird, isn't it?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Your...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Your Jaffa Cake landed you 11th place.- It did.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12MUMBLED: After the judges...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14LAUGHTER
0:23:15 > 0:23:19After the judges noticed that your chocolate didn't go to the edges.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Yes.- Was that how you remembered a Jaffa Cake when you pictured it?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Or did you think the hundred-year-old classic recipe,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27loved by millions, needed improvement?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29LAUGHTER
0:23:29 > 0:23:30I thought the flavour was all right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33When I tried one afterwards, I thought it was good.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- And I think Jaffas should change. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Yeah.- Bolton Jaffa.- Yeah! Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42"Not as good as the original." No...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Let's see the moment
0:23:44 > 0:23:48when you told the judges what you planned for your mirror glaze cake.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Let's have a look.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52On the top of the first one, there'll be a ganache
0:23:52 > 0:23:53with strawberries laid on top.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The next sponge will go on. That will have strawberry jam on top.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59There'll be another sponge on top with a ganache and strawberries,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01and then another sponge on top of that.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Was that the reaction you were hoping for?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09No! No!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Because you called it your Strawberry Surprise Cake.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Was that cos, surprisingly,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16you hadn't planned to put any cream in it?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Yeah...!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Well, the surprise in the strawberry
0:24:19 > 0:24:22was actually on the top, which was in the rose,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24which I didn't have time to make.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Well, he did give you quite a heavy hint, Paul, didn't he?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Have you got any cream in this, or is it just ganache and strawberries?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Just the ganache. So do you think I should change it and put...?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I don't think anything, my friend. That's entirely up to you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yes, he thought you should put cream in.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I should have done, really.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Mary did support me, though, which wasn't shown there.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- She did say, "He's got cream in his ganache."- Oh.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Is that a euphemism? - I thought you were going to say...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- She was trying to be encouraging. - Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55But even for Bake Off, that was too rude.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Yeah.- We do give you the opportunity to have another go
0:25:00 > 0:25:02at a bake that you did in the tent.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Now, what have you decided to do? - I did the mirror cake.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08So, the question we're all desperate to ask...
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Have you put any cream in it?- Yes!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13CHEERING
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, shall we have a look?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well... Mirror cakes don't travel very well.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- All right, get your cake out. - When it left Bolton...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25it was shiny bright.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And when it arrived here...
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Oh, well, are you still happy to have a go at it, kids?- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- Right.- This is the surprise, yeah? - Yes, it is. If you... I had to...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Got it. OK, got it.- I had to make sure it didn't fall off.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Is the cocktail stick a surprise?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You sort of look at it and go, "Ooh!"
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- It's a strawberry!- Oh, it's lovely.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Technically, it's not a surprise, cos he did just tell us.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Anyway, it does look lovely.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I could do without the cream, actually.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00LAUGHTER

0:26:57 > 0:26:59CHEERING
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Well done.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05CHEERING
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Before we go, I've found more evidence that Paul
0:27:12 > 0:27:16has really got a lot tougher on the bakers since he joined the KGB.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Here he's got Mary to cleverly distract everyone's attention
0:27:19 > 0:27:22while, off-camera, he deals with a baker
0:27:22 > 0:27:25who didn't put their oven on at the right temperature.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28The classic lemon drizzle cake
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- is often done as a tray bake. - GUNSHOT
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And I think they're going to be much more inventive than that.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Not really.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Paul wouldn't hurt a fly.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Would he?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Uhh!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Whoa!
