0:00:03 > 0:00:06Week two of The Great British Bake Off
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and the 11 remaining bakers faced an epic struggle.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Oh, it's hurting my back.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Gingerbread collapsed and dreams were shattered...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18If you were going for soft, then it's really soft.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20If you're going for biscuit, then you've failed.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22..when biscuit week came to the tent.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Who wants to eat some carpet? I'll eat a bit of carpet.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Well, it's fibre, isn't it?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Time for An Extra Slice.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34CHEERING
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, and welcome to the show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06This week, it was all about biscuits
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and a Showstopper that, for some bakers,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11proved nothing short of catastrophic.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16But, first, let's delve into a luxury assortment of unseen moments.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Paul finally reveals what he puts on his hair
0:01:19 > 0:01:21to keep it looking so slick.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I like to use lard but you can use oil, too.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Listen closely and see if you can work out
0:01:29 > 0:01:31which biscuit Kate hates the most.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I really, really don't like eating macaroons.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I'm hoping they're not going to make us make a macaroon.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I wouldn't particularly enjoy making macaroons,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41so I'm hoping that's not what it is.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Macaroons are just not a lot to me, so I'm hoping it's not a macaroon.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Nobody's asked you to bake macaroons, Kate!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53She probably hates them
0:01:53 > 0:01:56because she can't get free supplies at her parents' farm.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Now, if there was ever a "Who can sieve flour the highest?"
0:02:01 > 0:02:04competition, there's no doubt Andrew would win.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm joined by a panel of celebrity fans
0:02:14 > 0:02:17who'll be hobnobbing about biscuit week very shortly,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and, of course, the second baker left the tent.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Sadly, it was a parting of the ways for hairdresser Louise.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26AUDIENCE: Awww!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29But the good news is she'll be joining us here a bit later on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31AUDIENCE: Yeah!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36If you thought Louise had a bit of a shocker this week,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39spare a thought for Sarah from Manchester
0:02:39 > 0:02:42who also attempted a 3-D biscuit structure.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Her husband has always loved the iconic Concorde aeroplane,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48so Sarah thought she would surprise him
0:02:48 > 0:02:51by doing a Concorde cake for his birthday.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53He was surprised by it, all right.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And our studio audience have been busy as well.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Let's hope that turns out to be a good thing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Show us your bakes!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08CHEERING
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We'll be trying some of those later on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, before they get the chance to escape, let's meet our panel.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20First up, she's a food writer who runs a top cookery school
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and so she finds shortbread impossible to resist.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's Rosemary Shrager.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Next, it's a BBC Breakfast presenter who says she feels devastated
0:03:33 > 0:03:36when someone offers her a fruit biscuit.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37It's Steph McGovern.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And a comedian who says he doesn't understand
0:03:45 > 0:03:49why anyone in their right minds would bother with a rich tea.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's Josh Widdicombe.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Now, Rosemary, you are many things - chef, writer, teacher -
0:04:00 > 0:04:04but one thing you're not is a dunker, is that right?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I'm not a dunker, no, I'm not.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's funny, cos I was never brought up to dunk.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You just didn't dunk then.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Is that cos you're posh?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'm not really posh. You are, Rosemary.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16She is, isn't she?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Secretly, that was in public.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, OK. What you do in private...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Did you dunk in private? Oh, very occasionally.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Only occasionally. Only occasionally.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Especially when it's biscotti in Vin Santo - I'll dunk all the time.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yeah, you're not posh at all, are you(?)
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Steph, not a fan of fruit in biscuits, I take it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Oh, no. Oh, no.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I don't mind a bit of lemon or orange flavour,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44but you know if you bite into, like, a nice crumbly biscuit
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and then you meet a bit of rubbery raisin?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I'm devastated.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I hate things like raisins in my biscuits.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53No way. You're gutted cos it's not a chocolate chip.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Absolutely. Oh, I know, I know, it's so wrong, isn't it?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It is, sick and wrong. Sick and wrong!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It is. Now, Josh, as we know,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Paul Hollywood has worked in the world's top hotels
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and is revered in the world of baking.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11But I've discovered the accolade he seems most proud of is this.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Worst-dressed man in the UK last year.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Worst dressed? Were you? Oh, yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20That's right, Paul. Yes, he was voted worst-dressed man
0:05:20 > 0:05:23in GQ magazine's poll last year, Josh.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25That's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Yeah. I wonder who came second? Well...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Unbelievable, isn't it?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38They described my look as an update on Bilbo Baggins.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41No! He's not even a historical figure!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Anyway, I'm delighted to say you've been sending in loads of pictures
0:05:46 > 0:05:48of what you've been making at home.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I thought I'd focus on novelty birthday cakes this week,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54starting with the brilliant work of Helen from Hereford -
0:05:54 > 0:05:57a full English breakfast made entirely out of cake.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Next, Helen is going to bake a chocolate cake
0:06:00 > 0:06:03made entirely out of black pudding.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Now, I'm hoping to be able to feature
0:06:06 > 0:06:08a Highland cow on every show.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12We had one last week and here's the birthday cake made by Pat
0:06:12 > 0:06:14for her granddaughter Freya.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15The reason...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17LAUGHTER
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The reason for choosing to do a Highland cow
0:06:19 > 0:06:22is because Freya is obsessed by them,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25which is also the reason Nick did a birthday cake
0:06:25 > 0:06:28for her friend's 30th of Lionel Richie.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34"Hello! Is it me you're looking for?"
0:06:35 > 0:06:39"Yes, Lionel, but I didn't expect to find you on my kitchen worktop."
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Well done, Nick, that is truly disturbing.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Lucy from Hertfordshire baked a cake for her niece's birthday
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and what a highly professional job she made of it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55That's not a bad likeness of a tiger, is it?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59What a shame it is in fact a bee.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Other viewers decided to have a go at last week's Jaffa Cake Technical.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Helen from Nottingham had a go.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And if you think they don't look great, but they probably tasted OK,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Helen's husband Nick assures us that they didn't.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Do keep sending your pictures in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Sweet or savoury, success or failure, we'd love to see them.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Details at the bottom of the screen.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, back now to the tent,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31which saw biscuit devastation on an apocalyptic scale.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Let's remind ourselves what happened.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It was biscuit week in the tent.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Now, that's crispy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42The bakers felt the strain in the iced biscuit Signature.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, what a nightmare. Not enough time, not enough time.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47There were bees,
0:07:47 > 0:07:48bunting
0:07:48 > 0:07:49and butterfingers.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Whether I can serve these, I'm not sure.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56In the Viennese whirl Technical, the judges were looking for
0:07:56 > 0:07:5812 crumbly, buttery biscuits.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Got a few... I know what you're going to say - issues.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05And Kate's perfectly-piped whirls won her first place.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well done.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09In the dramatic Showstopper...
0:08:10 > 0:08:14..the bakers had to construct a 3-D gingerbread story.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Oh, bother it! Gosh, I hate gingerbread.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19There was an unhappy ending for Louise
0:08:19 > 0:08:23when she became the second baker to leave the tent,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27while Candice's gingerbread pub won her Star Baker.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36So, Louise left the tent.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39She had a terrible time with her Showstopper gingerbread design,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42which she based on the wedding she's planning for next year,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44as she explained.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm making a gingerbread church in west Wales
0:08:46 > 0:08:49with a bride and groom and five...
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Bridesmaids?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Ushers?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53..gravestones.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Of course!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Here's Louise's final wedding scene.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You know when you go to church and they're raising money for the roof?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08She could just say they haven't raised the money yet.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11That's very good.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13LAUGHTER
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Rose, where did Louise go wrong with her bake?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well, when you're actually doing the gingerbread,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23what you have to do is you get it out.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27The problem is, they did it with a template to begin with, but, then,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29if you get it out, it moves during cooking.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32So, the problem is, if you don't get your template again
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and just cut it while it's still warm and get neat edges,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38to actually start building it is almost...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It's an impossibility because it's got a rounded edge.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Oh, OK. So they're not going to do it.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Steph, do you think Mary and Paul made the right decision
0:09:47 > 0:09:49in asking Louise to leave?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yeah, even though Val was quite close.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Cos Val's all over the shop, isn't she?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56She is, though, isn't she?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00And even though they were quite close, I just thought, Louise, yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02As much as I love her, she's dead canny.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Problem is, when you're cooking,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07it's such an emotive thing that the moment you lose that confidence,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10if you don't start getting it back, the deflation in your feeling...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I know what you mean. Unbelievable. You have that problem?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Yeah, you put the holes in the plastic,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17put it in the microwave and if your confidence isn't there...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20That's it, you've had it! You're in serious trouble there.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So, for her to come back, quite difficult.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28As you say, Val was a contender to go as well.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Mary said her Signature ice cream biscuits looked "informal"...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Such a euphemism, isn't it?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The main problem with the biscuits
0:10:40 > 0:10:42that were made to look like ice cream is
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I don't think you should ever make a food
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and then make it look like a better food.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Cos I was just looking at them going, "I don't want biscuits,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54"I want ice cream now." But she didn't give up, did she?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57No. She didn't give up. She never gives up. No.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00That's what I love about her. Well, Paul liked the way
0:11:00 > 0:11:03she decorated the Empire State Building
0:11:03 > 0:11:06using a lollipop stick, and, being Val,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08she hadn't acquired just the one lollipop stick,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12as she explains in this bit of unseen footage.
0:11:12 > 0:11:1830 years ago, I put 1,000 of them to make toffee apples for school fairs,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and I'm down to about my last hundred.
0:11:24 > 0:11:271,000 lollipop sticks!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I mean, anyone else would just buy 50 and see how they go.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh, no, not Val.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I thought it just looked really well-crafted and, do you know what,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37when the Statue of Liberty fell, I didn't mind.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I thought it looked quite cool, sticking out the side of a building,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and I thought maybe they need to consider that in New York.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It was like Planet Of The Apes, wasn't it? It was.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48In her family-inspired Showstopper,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51she depicted her sister next to a windmill
0:11:51 > 0:11:53as she lives in the Netherlands.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We've actually got some photos of Val's sister in the Netherlands,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and it has to be said that Val managed to capture her likeness.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Here's Val's sister in a field of tulips.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Here she is in the Van Gogh Museum.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14And here she is after visiting one of those Amsterdam "coffee shops."
0:12:17 > 0:12:20So, the big story in the tent this week
0:12:20 > 0:12:23was the 3-D gingerbread Showstopper.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Josh, now, each scene had to include at least eight elements.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29How would you have coped with that? Quite a lot, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I would just have thought of events that contained eight elements.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Right. So, this was the day I met S Club 7.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38LAUGHTER
0:12:39 > 0:12:45Between them, the bakers made 320 individual pieces of gingerbread
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and then, after they'd all tried to assemble their structures,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51there were 2,746.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Let's remind ourselves how so many of the bakers' show-stopping dreams
0:12:57 > 0:12:58ended in tatters.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Santa hasn't gone as well as I wanted.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Poor Michael. He was so gutted at how his Santa's workshop turned out,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34wasn't he? Oh, yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38But Paul and Mary thought the actual gingerbread tasted lovely
0:13:38 > 0:13:39and he did well in the Signature
0:13:39 > 0:13:42with his chocolate and orange beer biscuits.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43So, can he bake?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I loved the beer biscuits. I thought they looked really cool.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I mean, he's not a stand-out person for me yet - I love Val still,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and I love Tom, I love Candice, but I...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Yeah, I think Michael's doing all right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think so, too. Well, I think Michael's Showstopper
0:13:58 > 0:14:01wasn't actually the worst thing to happen to him that day.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Do you remember Mel asking him this question?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Of course. Who doesn't?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So imagine how he felt when, a little bit later,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Mel suggested that Santa Claus might not be real.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20LAUGHTER
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I think the baker that really shone in the Showstopper
0:14:30 > 0:14:32and who was awarded Star Baker this week was Candice,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37and she made an entire pub, complete with pool tables, sticky carpet
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and, according to the judges, it tasted great, too.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Were you impressed with her boozer, Steph?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Oh, absolutely. As soon as she put the sticky carpet on there,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I just thought, "That's my kind of girl."
0:14:48 > 0:14:50She goes to the same places as me.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Because that was a genius idea, and, also, like,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54the pool table with the lime jelly as well.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I just thought she did a fantastic job.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I was worried for her to begin with because I thought this is going to
0:15:00 > 0:15:03be hard work for her, but if she's that good at her lip liner,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06she's going to nail this with her being able to do the piping.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10But, also, don't you find she just gets on with it?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Yeah. It's like she's sort of under the radar slightly and then suddenly
0:15:15 > 0:15:18she produces this thing I thought was wonderful.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Was there anything missing from Candice's pub, Josh,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22that you'd like to have seen in there?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I'd have liked to have seen Mary Berry drunk.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Too right!
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Now, Andrew also did really well with his Cambridge punting scene.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It had 37 different elements.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Here are his detailed plans.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43That's pretty impressive, isn't it?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Here's Selasi's detailed plan.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Now, can we have one of our Extra Slice Mexican bake waves, please,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55to mark another series first?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Our first Hollywood handshake.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Ready, steady, go!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Perfect. Well done, everybody.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Amazing.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Yes, Tom got a coveted Hollywood handshake for his biscuits.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Wahey! Yeah!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Do you think he can go all the way, Steph?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I love Tom because things like...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27He just comes out with these phrases all the time, like,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29"Fear is the mind-killer."
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And he'll just say that while he's doing his baking and you're like,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34what does he mean? But...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And, also, while everyone else is doing, like,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40churches and New York scenes and lovely family things, he's like,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42"Near-death experience."
0:16:42 > 0:16:45He's just... I just quite like his drama and the fact he puts
0:16:45 > 0:16:48loads of alcohol in cakes as well, so that's a winner for me.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Now, throughout the show, I've been having a sneaky peek at the bakes
0:16:52 > 0:16:55brought in by our audience here and, I have to say,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58some of them do look a bit "informal."
0:16:58 > 0:16:59But...
0:16:59 > 0:17:03let's take a closer look at a few of them.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Michelle, where are you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Hi, Michelle.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12Hello. Now, what have you brought along in honour of biscuit week?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I did try and make the Bake Off tent,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19but it's kind of had a few construction problems.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23I've got a tip for you there -
0:17:23 > 0:17:25what you need to do is cut off the edges...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Thank you for bringing it along.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Let's move to Holly and David, where are you?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Hi, there. Hi. Now, you've brought along some biscuits.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42What's special about them?
0:17:42 > 0:17:48We couldn't decide what to make last night after a few glasses of wine
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and my favourite food is cheese and I hate Marmite.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Right. Whereas my favourite food is Marmite and I hate cheese.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Right. So we compromised on cheese and Marmite biscuits
0:17:59 > 0:18:00that we both hate.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02JOSH: Oh, that's nice! So you've mixed them together
0:18:02 > 0:18:04so neither of you can eat them now.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's brilliant, thank you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Er, Maram, where are you?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Have I pronounced your name correctly?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yes, it is. Oh, good.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Now, I know you've made Viennese whirls.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Josh, do you want to go and get them?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26They look slightly different from normal ones.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Now, can you explain, Maram, why they are purple and green?
0:18:30 > 0:18:35So, the actual Viennese whirl biscuit has got a purple yam in it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Purple yam? Yeah.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I'll just bring them back now.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And what's green?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So, the green is called buko pandan,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51which is a very young coconut in the Philippines.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So, hang on, what's a yam?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55A sweet potato, basically, a purple one.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Is it called an ube?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Ube, yes. Ube, right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Did you buy it off uBay?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Do you want to try one? Yes, try them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08So, tell me what's in it again?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Yam and coconut.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Really good.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Now, Steph, you don't like fruit in biscuits.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17How do you feel about biscuits made out of vegetables and leaves?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21In all honesty, that tastes minging.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Sorry.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33That's lovely, and I'm getting one of my five a day. It's brilliant!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So, we've got one on each side at the moment.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Rosemary? Um...
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Eat a different biscuit. I'm going again.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I don't love it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51I think it's a soft texture, good texture, but it's too soft.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Yeah. Does that make sense? What about the flavours, Rosemary?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57No, the flavour... Well, actually, I'm not over-keen.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's not my favourite.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03It's the only one you've tried!
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Look...what are you trying to get me to do?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11She said it's minging, I'm trying not to say it's minging.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Not my cup of tea. But thank you, Maram. You're very welcome.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Thank you very much to all our bakers in the studio, thank you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Back now to the tent and our second baker has left.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27She's the hairdresser from Wales
0:20:27 > 0:20:29whose bara brith biscuits were a real highlight,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31but, sadly, her gingerbread Showstopper
0:20:31 > 0:20:33failed to cut it with the judges.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Please give a very warm welcome to Louise!
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Welcome. Please have a seat.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Louise, welcome to An Extra Slice.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It's really lovely to have you with us
0:20:55 > 0:20:57after your all-too-brief time in the tent.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You're a hairdresser in your day job.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03We saw a little bit of you in action in the salon.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Here we are.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Do you do everyone's hair so it looks exactly like yours?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yes. I might come in.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Have you ever had a hairstyle just collapse at the last minute?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17No. AUDIENCE: Aww!
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I have to say, Louise, my heart really did go out to you this week.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Let's talk about your Showstopper,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30which was inspired by your wedding that you're planning next year.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I mean, one of the churches you were considering,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36the one that you decided to do in your gingerbread scene,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38was this church in west Wales.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Beautiful.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42And here's your version.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Is the wedding still on?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50But not in that church. Oh.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I've actually never seen a bake collapse on the finishing bell.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57That was such bad luck.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00What was actually going through your mind at the moment that happened?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02"I'm off the show." Was that it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I just knew. It was too close to the end,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I couldn't do anything about it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10It was... You know, time was ticking away and I knew from that moment
0:22:10 > 0:22:13that it was game over for me. I mean, what actually went wrong?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Apart from the fact, obviously...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Everything went wrong. Did it? Everything went wrong.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The icing hadn't set and it was hard handling that
0:22:20 > 0:22:24and trying to construct it, and I hadn't trimmed my edges, either.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Big mistake. But the good news was that the judges complimented
0:22:28 > 0:22:31the flavour and snap of your gingerbread.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I mean, obviously you must have been pleased about that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Yeah, because taste is really important to me.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's more important than...
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Although the finish is really important, taste is everything.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's more important to me as well. And me.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48God. Who cares what it looks like, quite honestly, really?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Your Signature bara brith sheep biscuits looked gorgeous,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57absolutely gorgeous. Mel said the judges were looking for a biscuit
0:22:57 > 0:22:59that's "as crisp as Paul Hollywood's hair."
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Let's have a look at what you'd planned.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04When we bite into it, is it going to break?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Is it going to crumble? What's going to happen? Bend? It's not...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It's a softer biscuit.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Did you feel then that things weren't quite going your way?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Because I'd flood icing on the biscuits,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20it seemed to soften the texture.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I've made them at home and without the icing they're really tasty
0:23:23 > 0:23:27and they have got a flavour of bara brith and they're crunchy.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But the icing just sort of softens them.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We saw how the other bakers came to your aid, though,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and Candice was on hand, wasn't she,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37with some advice... They're all so lovely, they really are.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39..on keeping calm? Let's have a look.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Louise, breathe. Sorry? Breathe.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43EXHALES
0:23:45 > 0:23:46As was Selasi.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress, don't stress, don't stress.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I think I'd find that quite stressful. Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58What did you think of Louise's flock of sheep, Josh?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Loved it. It was very good.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I liked how Welsh all your bakes were,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06the bara brith sheep and the west Wales church.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Where are you from? Wales.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Let's talk about cake week, then,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15cos that was a better time for you, wasn't it? Yes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Now, for the Signature you baked
0:24:16 > 0:24:19an orange liqueur and lemonade drizzle cake, yeah?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Yes. Which I thought looked delicious.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Did that turn out how you wanted it? Did you think it looked like Zippy?
0:24:26 > 0:24:31No, I thought it looked like two bosoms flat on the table
0:24:31 > 0:24:35before it became Zippy, and I fixated on that, I don't know why.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I definitely thought it looked great.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39It was the one that stood out.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Oh, thank you. What about your mirror glaze Showstopper?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Now, whilst you didn't manage to achieve the glaze -
0:24:45 > 0:24:46neither did some other people -
0:24:46 > 0:24:48the judges again loved the flavour,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50so that must be very pleasing for you.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Yeah, I was delighted with that
0:24:52 > 0:24:55cos I was very pleased with those flavours.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I based it on a white chocolate trifle that I make
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and I knew they were a winning combination.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03On hindsight, I should have made it a smaller cake
0:25:03 > 0:25:07with still the lovely flavours and worked on the presentation.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Well, what we'd like to do is give you a chance to have another go
0:25:10 > 0:25:13at a bake that didn't go to plan, so no pressure.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15What have you gone for?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I've gone for my gingerbread wedding.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19CHEERING
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Let's just... There we go.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Oh, wow!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29APPLAUSE
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Josh, how amazing does that look?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It looks incredible.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And there's those gravestones we've heard so much about as well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47So I might eat a gravestone.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Should I go gravestone or should I go...? Go for it. Just...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Why don't we break that off and why don't we just go like that?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I don't want to spoil it. No, there you go.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Oh, that's great. That's lovely. Very good.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Thank you. Really good.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Thank you. It's absolutely gorgeous and it looks phenomenal.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Gorgeous. It's really impressive.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Also, I love the image of you sat on the train from Wales
0:26:09 > 0:26:11with that on your table.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Congratulations, it looks absolutely brilliant.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Louise, very sorry to see you go.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26We've loved watching you in the tent
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and we've made you one of our special cakes
0:26:28 > 0:26:31which Josh is bringing over.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Oh, my God, I'm so tense. I know, it is nerve-racking.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35There we go. OK, so...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39..Louise, this is... Aww!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42APPLAUSE
0:26:44 > 0:26:48..you giving your bara brith sheep biscuits a quick blow-dry there.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Thank you so much for joining us.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Ladies and gentlemen, please give Louise a Great British send-off.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Are you all right with that?
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Louise, everyone.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15And, finally, Kate made some very attractive Swallowtail butterflies
0:27:15 > 0:27:19which, as a child growing up in the country, she kept as pets.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23In what is possibly one of the most startling bits of unseen footage
0:27:23 > 0:27:24I've ever found in the tent,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Kate explains what happens when butterflies pupate.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31When butterflies start to pupate,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33they fix their tails to the side of the tank
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and then they split their skins, which I knew they did,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39but they wiggle and wiggle and their heads fall off.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Who knew the birth of a butterfly was so horrific?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Let's hope Michael didn't overhear that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52But they wiggle and wiggle and their heads fall off.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01That's it for this week.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03A big thank you to Louise,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07to all of our studio bakers and to our celebrity panel -
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Rosemary Shrager...
0:28:10 > 0:28:12..Steph McGovern...
0:28:14 > 0:28:16..Josh Widdicombe.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Next week, it's bread week. Will Paul get crusty?
0:28:21 > 0:28:22And which baker will be toast?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25See you next week at 9:30pm.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Till then, goodbye.
