00:00Here at Warner Brothers Leavesden Studios, our latest class of baking
00:06wizards have already left our judges, respected chef Carla Hall, and food
00:11academic chef Joseph Youssef speechless and Spellbound.
00:19Andy and Stefan secured their first win of the competition.
00:24You're gonna find out what your advance is soon enough.
00:26But sadly, one more team turned the final page on their magical journey.
00:34Coming up, the students will try to make the grade in potions class, where nothing is quite
00:41as it seems.
00:44It's time for Wizards of Baking!
00:56Here we go!
00:59Hello, bakers!
01:01Come on down!
01:02Come on down!
01:03Congratulations, bakers!
01:04You've made it through to our third challenge!
01:08But there's no need for celebratory butterbeers just yet.
01:11Because everybody here needs a clear head for tonight's challenge.
01:16You'll be serving up your creations in the potions room!
01:25Nice!
01:26This task is inspired by a classic potion that was used many times in the films.
01:31One that gave us more Harry's than you'll ever see at a comic con.
01:35That's right!
01:36Polyjuice potion!
01:42Wow, we're identical!
01:59Whatever you bake tonight must have that Polyjuice power of transformation.
02:04Because these showpieces are not going to be quite what they seem.
02:10At your workstations are eight objects and artefacts, which all relate to a different character
02:18from the world of Harry Potter.
02:20Our challenge is to pick any two objects, then recreate them as realistic, edible showpieces.
02:28I'm feeling pretty confident.
02:30I'm known for the kind of illusion, hyper-realistic stuff, and I'm super excited to start.
02:35As always, they will have to taste delicious.
02:40Because they'll be judged by our meticulous ministers of baking, Carla and Joseph, who will
02:46also be trying to identify your cakes amongst the real objects.
02:51OK.
02:52Things are about to get real!
02:54Or fake.
02:55Your six hours starts now!
03:02Let the baking begin!
03:04Ooh!
03:05Right, OK.
03:06Oh, my gosh.
03:07Awesome!
03:08We got Fred and George, for sure.
03:09Fred and George.
03:10Oh!
03:11Look at these giant mittens!
03:14They must be from Hagrid, right?
03:17He's the keeper of the keys with the bushiest of beards.
03:20For all of these items, while it feels more comfortable for me, it'll be definitely the
03:24teacup.
03:25Because then you can put that dessert inside.
03:26Yes.
03:27Well, this will be definitely very challenging.
03:29But the judges will not believe that I made this, so that can give us, you know,
03:33an advantage.
03:34A Slytherin student who sure hates smuggle-borns.
03:37Draco Malfoy!
03:38OK!
03:39So we have to select two of these.
03:41I mean, I came into this competition, like, I need to make a broomstick.
03:48Malfoy?
03:49That's right.
03:50And that's not all that's new this year.
03:54Those are Nimbus 2001s.
03:56How did you get those?
03:58A gift from Draco's father.
04:00The Inquisitorial Squad badge, I think, would be really cool to make as one of our tasting
04:04elements.
04:05So I think let's do this.
04:06Let's go with the smallest thing we have.
04:07Small and the largest thing we have.
04:08That is a great show.
04:09I know exactly who this character is.
04:11We've got Dumbledore.
04:12He's one of my absolute favorites.
04:14I'm looking at all these objects, and I'm going to do the sherbet lemons.
04:17Dumbledore, he's our serious headmaster.
04:19OK.
04:20But the sherbet lemons are that fun side.
04:21The one that I think I can make.
04:23What's this called?
04:24It is called the Armillary Sphere.
04:26Do you reckon you can do that?
04:27Yeah, but it is going to take me a lot of time carving.
04:29That's a lot of work.
04:30The story's most famous house elf.
04:32Your inspiration for this challenge is Dobby.
04:35So cute.
04:37Oh, look at his little pillowcase.
04:39It makes me sad.
04:40So cute.
04:41What do you think is going to work for chocolate?
04:43I might do this.
04:44I love the detail.
04:45So detailed, right?
04:46Yeah, yeah, it's fabulous.
04:47That's Bellatrix's dagger, isn't it?
04:48Yeah, I think I'm going to go for it.
04:49And Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends.
04:53I am in love with this guy.
05:03The Skelegro.
05:04You're going for a rough night, Potter.
05:06Regrowing bones is a nasty business.
05:11I've done skeletons, but nothing like this before.
05:14For my showpiece today, I am going to be attempting the Skelegro bottle.
05:18I'm going to carve it out a cake and do it all by hand
05:20and get those amazing details in there.
05:23Are you going to do the writing on that as well?
05:25Yeah, I think I can hand do the writing on that.
05:26Amazing.
05:27Jaja, Katie.
05:28Hello.
05:29Now, guys, we recognize these bats.
05:31So you've obviously got the best characters in the entire series.
05:34Obviously.
05:35My favorite ones.
05:36How lucky are you guys?
05:37Oh, yeah.
05:38So what's going to be difficult about making the bat?
05:41You know what?
05:42So I do a lot of hyper-realistic cakes.
05:44Sometimes the things with less details are really hard
05:47because there's no hiding spots.
05:49No.
05:50And there's not one, there's two.
05:52So they both have to look the same.
05:54Your hyper-realism in cakes.
05:56Can you give us some examples of that?
05:57Yeah, I made a lot of fun pieces.
05:59Like a video game controller, I've done a cheese wheel, a dragon, pizza.
06:04I love pushing myself to see what else I can make.
06:07I've won Is It Cake, which is about realistic cakes.
06:09Yeah.
06:10So would you say you're a front-runner then?
06:11You say this really leads into your expertise?
06:13It definitely does.
06:14But you know what?
06:15Anything could happen in this kitchen.
06:17So we're continuing to push ourselves.
06:20I'm going to make a ginger whack mega bonbon.
06:23I'm going to do a really fun flavor ginger because, you know, you guys are gingers.
06:28That takes me back.
06:29Yes, yeah, yeah.
06:30Do you have any redheads in the family?
06:32I have two redheaded siblings.
06:33Ah.
06:34They're my favorite of the two.
06:35Don't tell the other four.
06:36Four?
06:37So you literally grew up in a Weasley house?
06:40I literally grew up in a Weasley house.
06:42We are all super into Harry Potter.
06:44We lived in England for a while, and my brothers always run around dressed in cloaks.
06:48And every day, I'd take my eyeliner pencil and draw a little lightning bolt on his forehead.
06:53So you lived in London.
06:54How come?
06:55Military.
06:56And would you say then, with that upbringing, that it helps you?
06:59Yeah, the kitchen is run like a command.
07:01I was part of the Air Cadets.
07:02That's why we work well together.
07:04We run it like an operation.
07:05We know what we're doing, we have a plan, and then we execute.
07:08So, Katie, what are you making?
07:09I am making the love potion bottle.
07:11Brilliant.
07:12Anyway, guys, good luck.
07:13We'll catch you later.
07:17Jujar!
07:18Hey, what's up?
07:19I bet you feel very confident on this challenge with your realism skills.
07:24Yeah.
07:25What are you making?
07:26I'm making Hagrid's lantern.
07:28Nice.
07:29I made a lantern before as well.
07:32Come give me some tips then.
07:34Ahh!
07:35I gotta think about that.
07:36Neither of us do hyper-realism cakes.
07:39So this is something that is really out of our comfort zone.
07:43It makes me a little nervous, I have to say.
07:45Here, all the really warm, nice flavors for Hagrid's.
07:49To have a teacup whenever we visit them.
07:52Within the teacup, I'm setting the tasting element.
07:55It's a walnut and pumpkin sponge.
07:57On top, there's a caramel smoked chocolate mousse.
07:59Dasted with cocoa powder.
08:00Don't shake it yet.
08:01Wait until it's everything covered in smoke.
08:04I'm learning so much with you, Rui.
08:07And then on top, the walnut sponge cake.
08:10I'll grate it from...
08:11I'm making these edible elements.
08:13Now to assemble later on at the end.
08:15Nice.
08:16So now I'm on the inquisitorial squad badge.
08:19So I've got these cute molds.
08:20I'm tempering some of this amazing single-origin chocolate.
08:23I'm adding some essential blood orange oil
08:26to give that flavor.
08:27Then we're gonna paint the detail into the badges.
08:29Finally, I've got a pistachio janduya.
08:31That's gonna be with white chocolate,
08:33some candied orange blended all together,
08:35and I'm gonna pipe it into the mold.
08:37Okay, I've demolded the squad badge top piece, Andy.
08:40Nice.
08:41Right now I'm adding the finishing touches
08:43to the inquisitorial squad badge.
08:45So I am making the little loop to attach the ribbon
08:49and the little hinge to attach the two pieces together.
08:52Only five hours to go.
08:54Hi, Molly.
08:55Hi.
08:56So we're each doing tasting elements.
08:58I think they work really well together.
08:59I'm gonna do my tasting.
09:01Inside the handle, there will be layers of salted caramel,
09:04masala chai, and cocoa nibs.
09:07I'm gonna start off with my caramel.
09:10I'm gonna use a little bit of Newfoundland sea salt today.
09:12My family immigrated from India to Canada.
09:15One of my favorite flavors is Newfoundland sea salt.
09:18So I wanna do a salted caramel
09:20to pair with my masala chai ganache.
09:23So I've just toasted some whole spices for my chai ganache.
09:27I'm doing a double layer bonbon today.
09:30I'm gonna fill this with my ganache,
09:31and once I pop those out,
09:33they're gonna have that gorgeous green shine.
09:35This really is a challenge about details,
09:37and so I wanna make sure my details are on point.
09:40So my chocolate is soft and pliable
09:43for me to form this dagger.
09:45Bellatrix's dagger will be made of primarily modeling chocolate
09:48and tempered chocolate.
09:50And I'm gonna be hand decorating the blade.
09:52Because it has to fit the handles that I've already cast,
09:55I wanna make sure the size is just right.
09:57I want it to have the illusion of sharpness
10:00without having the fragility.
10:02So, pretty sharp.
10:05The detailing and the carving really comes through
10:07when I paint it,
10:08but it's gonna pop even more when I luster it after.
10:11I wanna make sure that this looks just like a blade.
10:14Molly, can I have your hand for a second?
10:17Like that, yeah.
10:19They look amazing.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Pretty freaking close.
10:25For the Skelegro bottle, I'm carving a brown sugar sponge
10:31layered with coffee and hazelnut buttercream
10:33sealed with dark chocolate ganache for structure.
10:36So this cake is gonna be, like, rich and indulgent,
10:39but it's also got to stand up enough and hold itself up.
10:43Yeah, we don't want the Skelegro falling over.
10:46It's the last thing we need.
10:48Then he'll need the Skelegro to regrow his bones.
10:50This is quite a difficult work to do.
10:56For this challenge,
10:57I'm gonna make the armillary sphere
10:59all out of chocolate.
11:03The chocolate has taken me to Paris.
11:06I've been in Taiwan,
11:07where I was in charge of a chocolate museum.
11:10So right now, I'm doing the chocolate rings,
11:13and I will make a lot of them.
11:15I have to use some physics
11:17and also all the engineering
11:20that my father has taught me through the years.
11:24Alex, darling, how are you doing?
11:26Uh, well...
11:28It's looking very complicated.
11:31It is.
11:32I'm a little stressed right now.
11:33I need to make them as even as possible.
11:36They cannot be really heavy,
11:38but they cannot be too thin.
11:40But I think this is gonna impress the judges a lot.
11:44Once I have all of this, I can start assembling.
11:47That's actually gonna be the size of my
11:49sherbet lemon dish.
11:51I'll be making the sherbet lemon bowl
11:53using modeling chocolate.
11:54What I've done is I've taken two bowls,
11:56tipped one onto the other,
11:57so when I'm happy with the outside of the bowl,
11:59I can put the cakes inside.
12:01It's got to be to scale,
12:02because no one is gonna believe it
12:03if it's too small or too big.
12:05You've got to think about the textures.
12:06You've got to think about the surfaces,
12:08the colors, the tones.
12:09So I have done hyper-realistic cakes before
12:11and illusion cakes.
12:12In fact, I really, really enjoy it
12:14when I've got lots of time to do it.
12:16So what I'm doing first
12:18is getting my cake batter in the oven.
12:19Then I'm gonna fill the bowl with stacked cake,
12:22and then I'm gonna fill that
12:23with my homemade lemon curd,
12:24and then I'm gonna make some
12:25Swiss meringue buttercream,
12:26and I'm gonna flavor that with lemon.
12:28There's my sponge.
12:29I'm very happy with that.
12:30I'm having to sculpt this little tiny cake
12:34and just try and make some marks and shapes in there
12:36that look a little bit like sherbet lemons.
12:39I wish it could fly.
12:42This is defective.
12:44It doesn't fly.
12:45I'm gonna have to write a letter.
12:47So I'm gonna get started on my part of the broom,
12:49which is gonna be to create the actual broom handle
12:51and the connectors for the pedals for the broom.
12:53And I'm making the actual base.
12:56To create the actual broom handle,
12:58I'm gonna take some isomalt,
12:59I'm gonna boil it up,
13:00add a deep black color to it,
13:02and then I'm gonna pour it into a silicone tube
13:05and let that set up.
13:06I need to make sure this is beautiful.
13:08I just love the fact
13:09that you can get that beautiful shiny finish,
13:11and I think that's gonna really add
13:12to that hyper-realism part of the broom.
13:14Andy, just hold one hand here,
13:16just in case it was to fall off.
13:18Just while I got a little bit...
13:19Oh, it's filling out the bottom.
13:20Oh, dear.
13:21Ooh! Oh, my God!
13:26The isomalt is all over the floor.
13:28Don't...
13:29I do not have time to re-boil some isomalt
13:31and create a new broom.
13:33Thankfully, I've created enough of the black isomalt
13:35that can pour it again.
13:36You probably needed something stronger.
13:38I need to make sure that the plug
13:40on the bottom of this tube
13:42is really, really sealed in correctly
13:44because I really need to fix this,
13:45otherwise we ain't gonna have no broom.
13:47You need me to keep watching?
13:48Yeah, if you can,
13:49just to be that sort of safety officer of sugar.
13:51It's looking good up here.
13:52I'm the safety officer of sugar.
13:54Don't make me laugh. Oh, my God!
13:56The plug's working.
13:57We're actually gonna have a broom handle,
13:58so that's a massive relief.
14:00Teamwork.
14:01Teamwork makes the broom work.
14:03Bakers!
14:04You have four hours to complete
14:06your hyper-realistic artifacts.
14:09Remember, we want your two show pieces
14:12to be utterly realistic.
14:14Ooh.
14:15But we haven't forgotten about you,
14:16Andy and Stefan.
14:17Yes.
14:18We still need to discuss the advantage
14:19we promised you for winning the last challenge.
14:22What do you think it is?
14:24I don't know.
14:25This belongs to me.
14:27Give me, give me, give me.
14:28Devil's snare is a magical plant
14:30which constricts around
14:32and ensnares whatever it touches.
14:35Hmm.
14:36Ooh.
14:39Stop moving!
14:40Both of you!
14:41This is Devil's snare.
14:42You have to relax.
14:43If you don't,
14:44it'll only kill you faster.
14:46When you shout Devil's snare,
14:49the bakers in every other team
14:51will be tied together.
14:53What?
14:54By their wrists.
14:56So...
14:57Wow.
14:58Just the two wrists.
14:59I'm so glad we won the last challenge.
15:01Got it.
15:02Okay, cool.
15:03I'm sure they will be delighted.
15:06They'll love us.
15:07Right now I'm working on my isomel
15:12to make the windows for the lantern.
15:14I'm just going slowly but surely.
15:17Then you can use the lute torch
15:19to take out the air bubbles.
15:21Yes.
15:22Yeah, you see them popping up?
15:23Yeah.
15:24Beautiful.
15:25Now Ru, it's my teacher.
15:26What do you know?
15:27I might give you a five star review.
15:29The most challenging part of doing this lantern
15:32is the fact that it needs to be very square
15:34and straight.
15:35If I don't have the sharp edges,
15:38it will not pull the judges.
15:40And then I'm going to create all the details with fondant.
15:43This is a hard challenge
15:44and it's the first time doing it.
15:45Not a good match.
15:46I'm feeling behind, that's for sure.
15:48I need to dust it more with like a darker bronze color.
15:52Fast and fancy.
15:54What a combination.
15:56I'm so excited that I am making the beater's baths.
15:59I'm going to make a ginger whack mega bonbon.
16:02It's going to have a mango jelly,
16:04a ginger ganache with a little bit of crystallized ginger
16:06to add some texture and a fun surprise of popping candy.
16:10Now I am just working on my bonbons.
16:12I want the judges to notice the finesse in our tasting.
16:15You know, the tart shell is really nice and thin.
16:17It's super golden.
16:18It's nice and crunchy.
16:19Awesome.
16:20The tasting element is done.
16:21I did break one, but you know what that means, Katie?
16:23Snack time.
16:27I love the texture of the top.
16:28So I'm working on my beater's baths.
16:30Height-wise, they're looking really good.
16:32I have the shapes right
16:33and I'm adding a lot of different layers of chocolate.
16:35They're worn, they're torn.
16:37I'm using a wire brush, you know,
16:39adding a lot of texture, some natural wood grains.
16:42I really got to make sure that the baths look quite,
16:45you know, busted.
16:47The wood grain is great.
16:49Angel, really good seeing you guys.
16:51This is your first time doing your tasting element.
16:54Yeah.
16:55So how are we feeling about this?
16:56Well, a little nervous.
16:58What other tasting elements you've got?
16:59I'm making the lantern.
17:01So I'm doing a smoked chocolate cremoso
17:05and an apple compote with a pecan crumble.
17:08When we go camping with my family,
17:10my daughter, she can't have the crackers,
17:12so we do the s'mores with apples.
17:15Oh, right, OK.
17:16And it's so delicious.
17:17Is it good?
17:18Wow.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Sorry, poke, please.
17:21It's OK.
17:22So Bruy's been teaching this task,
17:23showing you how to do things.
17:24Yes.
17:25Is there anything you're showing him how to do?
17:26So much dancing.
17:27I used to be a Zumba instructor.
17:29I did it until I was five months pregnant with twins.
17:33Still pregnant and still dancing.
17:34Yes, but belly was shaking.
17:36Well, one thing I remember,
17:37when we went to Chile a couple of years ago,
17:39loads of people were into dancing.
17:41He's done a big thing in your house.
17:42So much dancing.
17:43That was a dance we learned, didn't we?
17:44I know what's coming here.
17:46It's basically like people have like a handkerchief.
17:49Let's try one of these.
17:50Oh, clicker.
17:51Clicker, yeah.
17:52You show me how it should be done there.
17:53First you clap.
17:54And then we do a turn.
17:57Good job.
17:58Look at you.
17:59Oh, my gosh.
18:00I'm dancing quickly with one of the treats.
18:03What a treat.
18:05Thank you very much.
18:06Thank you very much.
18:07So right now I'm smoking the vanilla beans
18:12for the base of our broomstick,
18:14just so that vanilla beans can soak up that smoky flavor.
18:16Andy, what are you working on?
18:18I'm making a smoked diplomat cream.
18:20What are you smoking it with?
18:22It's the wood from Harry Potter's wand.
18:25What's happening?
18:27Lots of cake to make.
18:28It's a pretty big broomstick.
18:30So I'm going to start assembling my cake.
18:32So first a blood orange schnuppel syrup,
18:35diplomat cream, the brown sugar bourbon buttercream,
18:38and candied pecans.
18:40So currently I'm working on my broom shape.
18:43I do have to start carving my puff cereal treats.
18:47I need to put my cake in the middle layer
18:49and carve that to align with the rest of the shape of the broom,
18:53and then go in with my brown sugar bourbon buttercream
18:56to cover the entire piece.
18:58Now, it might sound like an easier challenge
19:00because we're not asking our bakers to do big, big show pieces,
19:04but I think this will show that the devil is really in the detail.
19:09Oh, my God.
19:15I'm attaching the rings so my heart is beating really fast right now.
19:20I have to be really precise because if I put a lot of chocolate,
19:24it is not going to look real.
19:29Breathe, Alex, breathe.
19:34Well, that was terrifying.
19:35For me.
19:38I've made a fair few skulls in my time.
19:40The Skelly Grove bottle is taking a lot of time.
19:43It's quite a stressful one, actually, for the Skelly Grove bottle.
19:46Time is going faster than I expect, as usual.
19:49I feel like the time behaves differently in this kitchen.
19:52There's some sort of spell going on, I think.
19:54I'm working on the rib cage for such intricate details.
19:57I've put a bit of armature wire inside.
19:59So I'm airbrushing the Skelly Grove now
20:01to give it some shade and kind of age it a little bit.
20:05Very nice.
20:06I'm making the love potion bottle.
20:08I am filling my mold with white chocolate.
20:10This is the first time we have to do two tasting elements.
20:12That means I have to take on a whole tasting by myself,
20:14so I'm excited for that because I am a pastry chef as well.
20:18All right, financier is going in the oven.
20:20I used to own a patisserie shop,
20:22and the flavors that I chose for the love potion bottle
20:24were one of our favorite flavors for Valentine's Day.
20:26Everyone loves a financier with piped marshmallow on top
20:30and some raspberry liqueur and some passion fruit crisps.
20:33I'm piping on the chocolate really thin.
20:35I'm going to marry the two sides together.
20:37It's looking amazing, Katie.
20:39This is my first hyper-realistic piece.
20:41I worked so hard to make sure that I was buffing out the seam
20:43because that's a dead giveaway on chocolate.
20:45Should we use it?
20:47What do you reckon?
20:48Good time?
20:49I think now's the time.
20:50Let's pull the plug.
20:51Devil's Snare!
20:53Bakers!
20:54Oh, my gosh.
20:55What?
20:56What's happening?
20:57What's happening?
20:58What's happening?
20:59Andy and Stefan have decided to use the advantage
21:02they earned for winning the last challenge.
21:04Andy!
21:05Yay!
21:06Sorry, guys.
21:07Love you all.
21:08In each of your workstations, you will find a box.
21:11Inside...
21:12What is that?
21:13You'll find a special Devil's Snare-inspired binding.
21:18This is to tie each member of your team together by the wrist.
21:23Oh, come on.
21:24So sorry.
21:25So sorry.
21:26So you can pop those on now, please.
21:27For the next ten minutes, you'll all need to bake
21:30whilst tied tightly together.
21:33Let me take my tools.
21:35You're really tall and you're kind of dragging me.
21:37This is a nightmare.
21:38One of us is going left, the other is going right.
21:40No, no, no, no.
21:41Flexible, Katie.
21:42Ah, look at her.
21:43It looks like a circus.
21:45Eesh.
21:46This is not as plenty as we wanted.
21:49Thanks, Andy and Stefan.
21:51Does anyone need a hand?
21:52Oh, my.
21:53I know.
21:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:57I've just got too much to do.
21:58This is ridiculous.
21:59Take me to the microwave again.
22:00Microwave.
22:01Need a machine.
22:02It can't be that hard.
22:03Easy.
22:04I'm going this way.
22:05I'm the youngest.
22:06You've got to.
22:07I'm the oldest.
22:08You should listen to me.
22:09You're kicking off a fair amount of heat also.
22:12I'm roasting.
22:13It's my Canadian tuxedo.
22:14It is, isn't it?
22:15I can't do anything.
22:16I can't do anything either.
22:17Okay.
22:18You keep on working and I'll be your left hand.
22:19No, I can't.
22:20This is the most stressed I've been in any of the three challenges we've had.
22:22I can't carry on because I'm at such a delicate spot.
22:23Ah!
22:24I need to spray right now.
22:25So I need two hands to spray.
22:26If I'm holding it in my hand, I'll spray Jajar.
22:27Spray me.
22:28So, you guys look like you're doing just fine over there.
22:29Amazing.
22:30Could it be better?
22:31I'm loving it.
22:32How much longer of this have we got?
22:33I have no idea.
22:34This is ridiculous.
22:35I'm getting really warm.
22:36I'm going to need a fan down in a minute.
22:37I love these things.
22:38I love these things.
22:39I love these things.
22:40I love these things.
22:41I love these things.
22:42I love these things.
22:43I love these things.
22:44I love these things.
22:45I love these things.
22:46I love these things.
22:47I love these things.
22:48It's ridiculous.
22:49I'm getting really warm.
22:50I'm going to need a fan down in a minute.
22:51I love being tethered to you, but I think I need my own space.
22:55Priya wishes she was a free elf.
22:57Lumos Salem!
22:58Andy and Stepan, your 10-minute advantage is up.
23:03Oh, thank goodness.
23:04Get it off my hands.
23:05Okay.
23:06Au revoir.
23:07Au revoir.
23:08I'm doing a contour mold for my teacup.
23:12I'm using a similar size bowl, and I'm just making sure that the chocolate stays well
23:17and even.
23:18When the chocolate is hard and stable enough, it's time to paint my teacups.
23:23So.
23:24Oh!
23:25Beautiful!
23:26Just one hour left to make those fakes!
23:33What I'm really hoping is that when I pop these babies out, they're going to look like
23:37real Sherlock Lemons.
23:38It is all about these finishing touches.
23:42And without that, the judges are going to be able to spot a fake from a mile off.
23:47I'm about to start molding my bonbons so that I can have them on time.
23:51The tasting element, it's a toffee eclair bonbon with patechou crumble, some pastry cream,
23:57and also a rum toffee caramel.
23:59Shiny, shiny.
24:01Ten minutes to complete your hyper-realistic artifacts.
24:07This is a scary bit.
24:09I've got to paint the wording on, and it's very, very, very precise.
24:12Just remember to breathe.
24:14It's time for me to place my tasting element on top of my lantern.
24:20So I add some fondant to cover that chocolate so it looks just like the lantern.
24:26I am feeling anxious, worried, and all of the above.
24:31You're good.
24:35I'm using this corn silk, which is going to create a really frilly design.
24:39I can't get these to go on.
24:43I got this, I got this.
24:44You are amazing.
24:45I'm amazing, I'm amazing.
24:46One second, let me just test.
24:47Sorry.
24:48Uh...
24:50Okay, no handles.
24:51Handles are off.
24:52No handles.
24:53Let's get the nimbus template on.
24:54Ten.
24:55Nine.
24:56We've got a big problem.
24:57There's no time to remake it.
24:58I'm really hoping that we did enough to get us through.
25:01Three, two, one.
25:04Arresto Momentum, your time is up.
25:18Welcome to the potions classroom.
25:21With this challenge, you are not only trying to delight our taste buds, but trick us to.
25:28Tell us which character did you get for your inspiration?
25:31Our character is Draco Malfoy.
25:33Yes, I am.
25:34We have just a few things from his time at Hogwarts.
25:38You have to guess which two are edible.
25:42A game of Draco or Faco.
25:45Ah!
25:46I like that.
25:47Pretty good.
25:48That's a good one.
25:49It's time for us to take a closer look.
25:56Very rigorous inspection.
25:57Mm-hmm.
25:58Of all the things I'm going to say, the Nimbus 2001 is cake.
26:09It looks great, but I think the bristles of the broom are a little wet.
26:14And also, one of the elements is missing.
26:17That silver piece of the broom is not here.
26:20The bottom of the broom is squared off too.
26:22Don't tell me if I'm right.
26:25No.
26:26I'm going to try to cut into it.
26:29And it's cake.
26:31Hey!
26:33Can't fool me, guys.
26:36So I did a blood orange olive oil cake with a smoked vanilla diplomat cream, a candy pecan crunch, and a brown sugar bourbon buttercream on the outside.
26:47The sponge is really moist.
26:50The pure blood orange for me isn't coming through.
26:53I disagree.
26:54I love this cake.
26:56I love it.
26:57I love the texture.
26:58The pecans are delicious.
26:59I really want to finish this.
27:00I'm not.
27:01For the record.
27:03But I will.
27:04I'll save you some for later.
27:06So now it's my turn to try and figure out which one of these is edible.
27:10The thing that I see a lot of being done these days is hyper realistic fruits and vegetables and stuff like that.
27:17Yes.
27:19And I'm going to go with the apple.
27:22Let's see if I'm right or wrong.
27:24I'm feeling good about it.
27:25Look.
27:26Look.
27:27Look.
27:28Look.
27:29Look.
27:30Look.
27:31It's going to.
27:32Oh, no.
27:33That's a real apple.
27:34That's a real apple, Carlo.
27:35Ah.
27:36The inquisitorial swamp bunch.
27:37Oh.
27:38Whoa.
27:39Oh.
27:40Really?
27:41I love the little detailing on it.
27:42This genuinely does look like it could be made of silver or metal.
27:47That's wonderful.
27:48In terms of execution, incredible.
27:50But let's see what it tastes like.
27:52Yeah.
27:53But this genuinely feels too nice to destroy.
27:56Wow.
27:58We've created a pistachio janduja with white chocolate with blood orange.
28:03Oh, wow.
28:05The texture, right?
28:06Look how thin that chocolate is.
28:08Yeah.
28:09It's amazing.
28:10I mean, it is so thin that you get all of those flavors.
28:13You've nailed this.
28:16Fooled me.
28:17And one of the best little bites I've had so far in this competition.
28:21Awesome.
28:22Thank you, guys.
28:23Maybe we didn't fool them with the broom, but they liked their flavors.
28:27Fingers crossed that we're making it through to the next round, but I don't know.
28:36Jujau and Katie.
28:38I think Ollie and James would kill us if we didn't know which character you were inspired by.
28:46So.
28:47Fred and George.
28:48The Weasley twins.
28:49Yes.
28:50Yes.
28:51We have eight items over here.
28:53Two of them aren't real.
28:55So can you guess which ones?
28:57I mean.
28:58That's all.
28:59I'm stumped.
29:00I look at that box and I think there's kind of imperfections.
29:05That's something begging to be made out of chocolate.
29:08Uh, I'm gonna go with this little box.
29:11Moment of truth.
29:12Oh.
29:13Oh.
29:14Oh.
29:15Oh.
29:16No.
29:17No crack of chocolate.
29:18You fooled me.
29:19Yeah.
29:20All up to you now, Carla.
29:22All right.
29:23I think the extendable ears.
29:28Because I'm looking at this and I feel like there could be something in here.
29:32I'm gonna pierce the ear.
29:33Oh, Jujai looks nervous.
29:34I'm gonna...
29:35Oh.
29:36Oh.
29:37Okay.
29:38You tricked me too!
29:41Your execution has obviously been incredible.
29:47For our realistic object, we have the beater's bat.
29:51I mean, look at this.
29:52Look at the wear and tear on that.
29:55You truly are a master at hyper-realism.
29:58I mean, truly.
29:59The end cap is a bonbon.
30:02Ah, that's...
30:03Such a face.
30:04Genius.
30:05Fred and George, they're gingers.
30:06So I did a mango ginger mega bonbon.
30:09Mango jelly with a ginger ganache.
30:12The ginger and the mango works perfectly together.
30:15I like the popping candy.
30:16That's fun.
30:17A little extra, extra.
30:18I think this is fantastic.
30:21All right.
30:22I'm still stumped about the second item.
30:24So you tell us, Katie.
30:25What is it?
30:26This is our love potion bottle.
30:28Love potion bottle.
30:29That's stunning.
30:30I mean, are you kidding me?
30:32Fully edible.
30:33I was looking for a seam.
30:34When I didn't see a seam down the side, I was like, okay, this has to be a real artifact.
30:40It has an almond financier brushed with raspberry liqueur topped with passion fruit crisp and a strawberry marshmallow.
30:47Mmm.
30:48I'm going to be really corny here and say I love it.
30:53It's a lot of flavor packed in this little heart.
30:56You managed to fool us not once, but twice.
31:00That's so realistic.
31:03So we're going to love you and leave you.
31:05Hello, Angel and Rui.
31:11The oversized oven mitts, the oversized teacup.
31:16It's probably Hagrid.
31:18Yes.
31:19Well, can I go first this time?
31:21Yeah, okay.
31:22Because I think I've spotted one of the edible items.
31:25It's really about the texture on the outside.
31:28It's the colors and the finish.
31:32Joseph, what is it?
31:34That was all right.
31:37I'm going to go with the teacup.
31:42I'm going to see if I can cut into this.
31:44Oh, careful.
31:45Let's do this.
31:46Zoe!
31:47I was right.
31:49What gave it away to me is it looks like quite an artisanal mug, but maybe a little too artisanal of a mug.
31:54Do you have Earl Grey in there?
31:56Yes.
31:57I can smell Earl Grey.
31:59There's the pumpkin cake with toasted walnuts, and there's a really thin layer of caramel mousse that was smoked,
32:05because fireplace of Hagrid is always on.
32:07So having this smokiness, aroma, was something that I wanted to bring up.
32:12Ooh.
32:17Flavors pair well together, the pumpkin and the walnut.
32:21The Earl Grey really works very well with it.
32:23Wonderful.
32:24So, Carla, it's your turn to see if you can spot the second edible item.
32:28OK.
32:29I'm going to pick the thing that I feel like it's going to be a little bonbon.
32:33So I'm going to pick the Philosopher's Stone.
32:39I mean, look at it.
32:40Let's see.
32:41Oh.
32:42Oh.
32:43Oh.
32:44Oh.
32:46You fooled me.
32:47Angela, you look very happy about that.
32:49Yes.
32:50You were like...
32:51I'm glad you didn't bite it.
32:53True.
32:54So reveal the edible item.
32:56It's the lantern.
32:57Hmm.
32:59What?
33:00All of this little spindly metal work here, the finish.
33:04I mean, this is incredible.
33:06So what is the tasting element?
33:09Oh.
33:10Very cool.
33:11Smart.
33:12It's a smoked chocolate mousse with an apple compote and a gluten-free pecan crumble.
33:19I think the texture of the cremeux or the pudding is really nice.
33:23It's very smooth.
33:24I think it's really dark.
33:25I think it's kind of dark for the apples, though.
33:28There's something for me that's maybe a little bit simplistic about it.
33:31I think there could have been maybe some other flavors or another dimension to it that just
33:36took it from being what I would say is really good to being really great.
33:40I am so worried because every little thing could send us home.
33:49I know this character.
33:52Everybody loves Dobby.
33:54So we've got eight items on the table.
33:56And we want to know if you can guess which ones we have made.
33:59I'm going to let you go first on this one.
34:01Oh.
34:02This item, I could envision it being chocolate.
34:06So I'm going to pick the pleasure.
34:11Oh.
34:12Oh, shoot.
34:14Oh, wow.
34:15You fooled me.
34:16That is not chocolate.
34:17Did you hear that?
34:18Yeah.
34:19All right.
34:20So, Joseph.
34:21I'm going to go with the pillowcase shirt on the mannequin because I have a feeling that
34:25we're just going to cut through there and there's going to be cake.
34:31Let's go.
34:32Hey, no.
34:33No, I haven't gotten it right.
34:34This is a mannequin.
34:36There you go.
34:38I mean, we're very disappointed.
34:40I can see you're quite happy.
34:41So how are you feeling?
34:42It's amazing.
34:43It feels pretty great.
34:45My item is Bellatrix Staggered.
34:48That?
34:49Wow.
34:50I mean, look at the point on it.
34:53You could hurt someone with that.
34:54I know.
34:55The handle is a bonbon.
34:57I've got salted caramel and masala chai for you today.
35:01I think the flavors of the masala chai and the sea salt have worked perfectly.
35:06That caramel is really good.
35:09The caramel is the right consistency.
35:10I would have liked a bit more texture in there, but yeah, really delicious.
35:15Hold on, Fran.
35:17So, which is our other edible item?
35:21I made the Skelligro bottle.
35:22No.
35:24Wait, what?
35:25It's a sculpted cake.
35:26It's all done by hand as well.
35:27There's no molds or anything on it.
35:29That's really brilliant.
35:30Thanks.
35:31Yeah.
35:32That looks like it belongs in the movies.
35:34Ooh!
35:36Nice.
35:37Wow.
35:38It is indeed cake.
35:40I'm super impressed.
35:42Please be good.
35:44It's a brown butter sponge, a hazelnut latte ganache, and a hazelnut latte buttercream.
35:50Let me tell you why Joseph likes it.
35:54At this point, go on.
35:56The texture of the crumb.
35:57Mm-hmm.
35:58It is tight.
35:59It's not too sweet.
36:00We're going to turn into a Penn and Teller act.
36:01I'm going to stop talking from this point onward.
36:03No, spot on.
36:04That's exactly what I would say.
36:05I think the flavors are great.
36:06We'll see you back here shortly.
36:08Thank you so much.
36:10You're very welcome.
36:11An out-of-body experience.
36:16Jenny.
36:17Alex.
36:18Hey.
36:19Hello.
36:20So we were given Albus Dumbledore.
36:22Of course.
36:23Which, by the way, he has like a thousand names.
36:25It's Albus, Percival, Wulfric, Brian.
36:29Yes.
36:30Dumbledore.
36:31Well done.
36:32There you are.
36:34I think I've spotted one.
36:36And I'm going to tell you why.
36:38The lemon sherbet.
36:40I think the bowl is great.
36:42But when I look inside, I see the filler.
36:46Okay.
36:47Let me see if I'm right.
36:48Oh.
36:49Oh, yeah.
36:50Come on.
36:51Oh, yeah.
36:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:53Whoa.
36:54I've got my favorite lemon cake recipe.
36:56And then I've got homemade lemon curd.
36:58And my lemon sherbet Swiss meringue buttercream.
37:00Lemon is my favorite.
37:01No crush.
37:02Oh, no.
37:03No.
37:07But the flavors are so nice and crisp.
37:11And that lemon Swiss meringue, the lemon curd that you have.
37:18I agree with you.
37:20I mean, I don't know.
37:21Begrudgingly.
37:25It's my turn to guess now.
37:27And I think it's the armillary sphere.
37:30I can see a hell of a lot of good work has gone into this piece.
37:35However, I can also see some of the little seams and some of the little joints.
37:41So that's my guess.
37:45And wait.
37:46What are we eating?
37:47You can tell them now.
37:48Is it this little bonbon?
37:49Uh, yes, it is.
37:50Oh, it's so beautiful.
37:51Oh, it is.
37:52Yes, it is.
37:53Oh, look at this.
37:54Oh, I love it.
37:55I mean, look at this.
37:56Yes.
37:57What?
38:00Now, this is getting personal.
38:01Oh, my God.
38:03Oh, my God.
38:04I can't believe I did that again.
38:06It's okay.
38:12Do you by any chance have another one?
38:14We do.
38:16What flavors have we got going on here?
38:18Okay.
38:19Uh, we have a chocolate bonbon made out of a pastry cream with vanilla.
38:23Also, rum-flavored toffee.
38:25And a patachou estrusse.
38:31Those are good faces, Alex.
38:32Those are very good faces.
38:34It's like a meal.
38:37It's like courses.
38:38You almost don't expect all of that in a little bonbon that's less than an inch round.
38:43No, you don't.
38:44That was really, really nice.
38:47The flavors certainly deliver.
38:49I couldn't have asked for more from a tiny little bite.
38:52Thank you, chef.
38:53Yeah, you were genius.
38:54Appreciate it.
38:55It's the first time in the competition we are actually genuinely worried, aren't we?
38:58Yeah.
38:59I'm disappointed in myself.
39:00I'm just hoping that your piece will be enough.
39:03The time has come to name the team that the judges declare the winner of this challenge.
39:12And that team will be safe from elimination.
39:14And they will, of course, enjoy a crucial advantage next time.
39:20The winning team is...
39:28Juju and Katie.
39:29It feels amazing that Katie and I won the third challenge.
39:36We worked really, really hard.
39:37I can't believe it.
39:38And I'm so excited for us.
39:40Congratulations, Juju and Katie.
39:43And you'll be finding out what your advantage is next time.
39:46Awesome.
39:48The bottom two teams are...
39:50Angel and Rui.
39:54Jenny and Alex.
39:55You guys brought flavors and flavor combinations and techniques that we haven't seen before on the show.
40:08And just your way of thinking slightly outside of the box has brought an added diet to you.
40:13You guys brought flavors and flavor combinations and techniques that we haven't seen before on the show.
40:20And just your way of thinking slightly outside of the box has brought an added dimension into what this show is all about.
40:27It ultimately came down to the execution of Rui's teacup and the simplicity of Angel's tasting element.
40:37Thank you very much.
40:38I'm proud that I got far on this competition.
40:40It's just a dream come true.
40:42I wanted to do this competition because it's Harry Potter.
40:46I mean, it doesn't get any better than this.
40:49I'm sad because I'm leaving, but I'm really happy that I was here.
40:53Well, you four teams have all made it through to the next stop on our magical adventure.
40:59But don't get too comfortable.
41:04The stories of Harry Potter are full of twists and turns.
41:11And so is Wizards of Baking.
41:16Oh, my God.
41:17We solemnly swear that we are up to no good.
41:21Okay.
41:22Good night.
41:24He was here with nothing.
41:28You've all reached the halfway stage.
41:31We want you to blow up a famous Harry Potter object.
41:35Ingorgio!
41:36I'm getting little bits of gold on, but I can dust it off.
41:39This isn't going to work.
41:40It's Padma Patil herself.
41:42Afshan Hazard.
41:43Look who's joining us.
41:45Come on, my friend.
41:46You can do better than that.
41:47Oh, my God.
41:48Oh, my God.
41:49Wow.
41:50Why does this work?
41:51Wow.
41:52And prepare for a twist that will change the competition like we've never seen before.
