Twelve of the best amateur Aussie bakers face three different cake challenges: a signature pull-apart cake, a passion fruit chiffon cake and an epic birthday cake.

The amateur bakers aim to make the best loaves in bread week. They make signature bread sticks, a zopf and show-stopping scored and painted loaves.

The remaining bakers prepare spiced filo pasties, crullers and 3D biscuit structures in the Spice Week challenge.

For Cheese Week, the remaining amateur bakers make cheesy tear and shares, three cheese pies and floating cheesecakes.

We're off to Italy this week, with our remaining amateur bakers serving up pizzas, Peshe Con Cermas and tiramisu centrepieces!

It's Patisserie Week and the remaining bakers complete for a spot in the finale by making kouign amanns, strawberry tarts and petit fours.
