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.

Amateur bakers create layered cakes, Christmas ornaments and spooky blacklight cakes for various occasions during the celebration week.

In Back to Basics Week, the remaining amateur bakers compete to make their signature scones, a chocolate tart and a towering vertical pie.

The remaining bakers craft their biscuit creations, preparing Linzers, mocha mochi cookies and some spectacular moving biscuit vehicles in the Biscuit Week challenge.
