Twelve bakers look to tackle some challenging bakes on their first week in the tent, as they show off their cake-making skills for Matt and Maggie.

The bakers must test their bread-making skills as they prepare classic pumpkin scones in a technical challenge, before assembling a showstopping bread centrepiece.

The remaining 10 bakers attempt to put their own twist on biscotti for their signature bakes. They also make jam drops and a biscuit jigsaw puzzle to impress the judges.

The bakers are tasked with the toughest technical challenge to date, as Maggie asks them to make her chicken pie. Showstopping pavlovas are also on the menu.

For pastry week, the judges challenge the remaining bakers with producing signature sausage rolls, Matt's Fraisier cake, and a show-stopping array of Viennoiseries.

The remaining bakers are challenged by making all things batter, preparing wonderful waffles, an apple clafoutis, and a colossal crepe cake.
