The Great British Bake Off

It's Biscuit Week and the bakers make a marshmallow-based signature challenge, a custard classic in the technical; in an illusion-themed showstopper, the bakers make their favorite meal out of biscuits.

Proofing makes perfect as contestants mix and knead their dough into cottage loaves, cream-and-jam Devonshire splits and artfully braided centerpieces.

The remaining hopefuls try to avoid a meltdown while making tortes sans wheat flour, cheesecakes and chocolate boxes with cake and bonbons inside.

It's Pastry Week and the bakers tackle savoury picnic pies and a classic French rough puff pastry, before creating showstopping decorative sweet pies. Who has the upper crust?

In a Bake Off first it's Botanical Week. The bakers tackle a spice-filled Signature, a herby Technical and a showstopping floral dessert. Who will blossom, and whose thyme is up?

Daunting challenges await the bakers during dessert week; they take on crème caramels, treacle puddings and meringue bombes.
