00:00I've got one of those new robot fridges, yeah, even does your shopping for you.
00:04Give me the bag. Give me the bag. Give me that. Give me the bag. Thank you.
00:12Welcome to Junior Bake Off. Oh, it's my bag. What are you doing?
00:21Come please chase my fridge.
00:25Last time, eight new bakers entered the tent.
00:28It's so crazy to be here. I know.
00:30The technical was no picnic. Oh, goddess of crumbling.
00:32And whilst the bakers mascot cakes were lucky for some, Isla's husky was top dog.
00:38It looks like a professional cake.
00:40And she became our first star baker. Isla, congratulations, well done.
00:45This time, it's biscuit day. Please come out, please come out.
00:49The technical is full of surprises.
00:51I don't know how a baseball cap is supposed to look like.
00:54And as the showstopper looks 20 years into the future.
00:57I see myself being a business man.
01:00Especially if you should go on Dragon's Den, not Junior Bake Off.
01:03Who will get to live the dream.
01:04Please don't snap. It has just snapped.
01:07And whose future in the tent.
01:09I think it might be a little bit burnt. Oh gosh.
01:12Will come to an end.
01:13I'm just going to pretend that never happened.
01:20Oh guys, I'm so nervous for today.
01:22Yeah, like someone's going to be eliminated.
01:24Don't know what the tactical's going to be.
01:26Freaking something biscuit-y.
01:27That'll be annoying.
01:29Look, it's biscuit day now.
01:30And I think that I'm quite confident.
01:32Because biscuits are made for decoration.
01:34And decoration is made for me.
01:37Oh, I've got yellow.
01:38See, I've got yellow.
01:39If I was a biscuit, it's hard to question.
01:43But I would probably be a snickerdoodle.
01:46It gives quite a warm feeling.
01:48Can you tie me up, please?
01:50You got a banana in your back pocket?
01:52Um, yes.
01:53I'm very looking forward to eating all the biscuits.
01:56The technical, I'm nervous.
01:57Because it's obviously the technical.
01:59It's going to be technical.
02:01I think the judges are going to step it up.
02:03Probably some intricate design or intricate shape.
02:06I think they're going to go a bit more all out on us.
02:08Good luck, everyone.
02:14Morning, bakers.
02:15It's biscuit day.
02:17And your technical challenge has been set by the Duke of Dunking himself,
02:21Master Liam Charles.
02:23Liam, do you have any tips for our bakers today?
02:25To hit it out of the ballpark today,
02:27keep your head in the game and get the shaping right.
02:30Mmm.
02:31Well, it is a technical challenge.
02:33It's judged blind.
02:34So, make like my mum once said to her dentist and get out of my face.
02:39For your technical challenge, Liam would like you to make his baseball cap pinata biscuits.
02:46Your strawberry flavoured biscuit dough will be baked over a mould to create a baseball cap.
02:51It will then be filled with surprise royal icing sprinkles and decorated with Liam's beloved Manchester United colours.
02:59And like Manchester United, it will be full of expensive ingredients and collapse in the middle.
03:03You have one hour in which to make Liam's baseball cap pinata biscuits.
03:08On your marks, get set, bake.
03:12Mmm.
03:13Oh.
03:14Wow.
03:15I'm actually really excited.
03:16The bakers have been given the same ingredients.
03:19Oh no, I think I've got a bit of eggshell in.
03:21And recipe.
03:22Found the eggshell guys, don't worry.
03:25To make Liam's baseball cap pinata biscuits.
03:28To make the biscuits, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
03:32Woo!
03:34I've never made a pinata biscuit before, but like, I've wanted to.
03:38This seems really, like, complicated.
03:41They said it's going to be a baseball cap, but that doesn't look like a baseball cap.
03:46It looks like a piece of toast.
03:47I know.
03:48I don't get this.
03:52Liam, what on earth are these?
03:54We are looking for six baseball cap pinata biscuits, flavoured with freeze-dried strawberries.
04:00And most importantly, they have to be the colours that represent my favourite team in the whole entire world.
04:07Manchester United.
04:09This is quite a complex challenge for day two.
04:11Are they filled with sprinkles?
04:12They are filled with sprinkles.
04:13Bit of a cheeky surprise in the middle.
04:15How does that work?
04:16Okay, with the biscuit dough, the bakers have to create six domes and six bases.
04:21I advise the bakers to do that really quick because this biscuit dough needs to chill.
04:26Without the chilling, it won't be able to hold its shape.
04:29Once the biscuits are baked, the bakers can move on to making the actual sprinkles.
04:34Yes, they have to make the sprinkles themselves.
04:37Timing is a bit of an issue with the bakers.
04:39In one hour...
04:40Ambitious.
04:41Shall we?
04:42Yes.
04:43Oh, wow.
04:44That's quite fun.
04:46I think that the texture's bang on.
04:51It's really short and crumbly.
04:53And I can see a lot of the bakers really enjoying this challenge.
04:56United!
04:57United!
04:58Is that the same as Manchester City?
05:00I don't ever disrespect Manchester United.
05:02That is sacrilege!
05:06Morning, Elroy.
05:07Morning, Harry.
05:08How did you feel about yesterday?
05:09Better towards the end.
05:11Not an ideal technical yesterday.
05:13Well, the thing is, sometimes the person who comes first on the first day ends up going home.
05:19True.
05:20On the second day because, you know, there's this so-called curse.
05:22I don't know if you've heard about it.
05:24Oh.
05:25They say it's something that Mary Mary did when she left the franchise.
05:28Oh.
05:29She put a curse on the tent.
05:31Sometimes you can see her up in the ra...
05:33Up in the rafters.
05:34Oh.
05:35Ha-ha.
05:36Add the egg and the red food colouring and freeze-eyed strawberry powder and combine.
05:40Trying to make sure the red's the right colour.
05:42Is it meant to look pink?
05:44It said it was like Manchester United and that's dark red, isn't it?
05:47Oh, I'm not happy we're doing Manchester United, I must say.
05:50I live in Sheffield, so I support Sheffield Wednesday.
05:53Chef Wednesday, terrible.
05:54What?
05:55Well, I'm not really into football and I don't really know about Manchester United.
06:02Eleven-year-old Zachariah prefers to keep his eye on the ball when it comes to mathematics.
06:06So the perfect slice of cake is 45 degrees.
06:10And shares a keen interest in zoology with younger brother Leif.
06:15Things are green big fly.
06:17Killed the little white fly.
06:19Aw.
06:20What's in a piñata?
06:21Is it presents or...?
06:22I thought they were sweet.
06:23My mum made that one.
06:24You've probably heard about it.
06:25She made that savoury piñata.
06:28That wouldn't have really been a nice piñata.
06:30No.
06:31No, she put some meat inside it.
06:33Yeah, and then she left it out in the sun, unfortunately.
06:37And by the time we came round to break it, it was just like maggots and stuff fell on top of us.
06:43A lot of the children were crying.
06:46In between two pieces of parchment paper, roll the dough to roughly three millimetres.
06:52Oh, God, that's tiny.
06:54I really want to get it to three millimetres because I don't want it to be too thick and I don't want it to be too thin too.
06:59The judges are looking for short crumbly biscuits.
07:02I hate rolling things between parchment paper.
07:05Roll too thick and they will be underbaked and may lose their shape.
07:09Oh, no. What am I doing?
07:12Too thin and they may burn and become brittle.
07:15Yep, that's great.
07:17All right, Kitto?
07:18Yes.
07:19What do you know about baseball?
07:21Not really anything.
07:22No, no one does.
07:24What sport of sports are you into then?
07:26So I do windsurfing, surfing, so like water sports.
07:29Is that a sport?
07:30Yeah.
07:31It is.
07:32Who's the winner?
07:33Living close to the beach in Dorset, Kitto enjoys healthy competition with his two older brothers, both in and out of the water.
07:42I think I won that.
07:43The next step is using the toast shaped cutter, cut out six toast shaped pieces.
07:49Let's hope not to ruin any of the toasts.
07:51Okay, what's next?
07:52Using the round cutter, cut out six rounds of the dough.
07:56Press into six of the dips in the doomed tray.
08:00Is that the doomed tray?
08:01Is that the doomed tray?
08:03And press into six of the dips in the doomed tray.
08:06The doomed tray.
08:07This is going to be like the cap on top, if you get what I mean.
08:12Right, time to neaten up the edges.
08:15I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
08:16I really want everything to be like as perfect as it can be.
08:21At home in Surrey, Miko's family get to enjoy her baking perfection.
08:26Good job Miko.
08:27And her repertoire of accents from American.
08:30Hey, do you want to get some fried chicken later?
08:32To baby.
08:33That's really good.
08:38There we go.
08:39Looks nice and neat now.
08:40This is quite annoying.
08:41I feel like I need to hurry up.
08:43The bakers need to move fast when shaping the dough.
08:46I'm making a mess.
08:48The more they handle it, the warmer it becomes.
08:51Oh no, oh no.
08:53And the harder it is to get neat shapes.
08:55The mold is not supposed to break.
08:58Even though it's like breaking, I'm just trying to push it into the molds.
09:01Transfer the baking sheet and the dough tray to the freezer and chill for 10 minutes.
09:05Once shaped, it is vital the biscuits are chilled for long enough before being baked.
09:10Nope, no, I'm all just breaking.
09:13They're so difficult to pick up without cracking.
09:16It's taking a bit of time and I need to really get it done.
09:24I love baking.
09:26Not yet.
09:2730 minutes bakers, you've got 30 minutes left.
09:30I'll give you a signal, alright.
09:32How much?
09:33Six, okay.
09:34Whilst Cole and Zachariah are still stuck on shaping.
09:37I need three other ones.
09:39The rest of the bakers move on to their royal icing.
09:42Now I'm going to do the sprinkles.
09:44I've never made sprinkles before, so this kind of terrifies me.
09:47To make the sprinkles, add the strawberry extract to the icing sugar.
09:51Oh, then add one teaspoon of water at a time until you achieve a stiff consistency.
09:59Oh, that's lovely.
10:00Red and white, are they?
10:01Yeah, Manchester United.
10:02The Manchester United Coast.
10:04Yeah.
10:05Do you support any football team?
10:06Yes, I do.
10:07I support the Kent over 70s ladies team.
10:11Oh.
10:12Yeah, they're great.
10:13Oh.
10:14Beryl, Ruth.
10:16Yeah.
10:17Deidre, Ruth again.
10:18Two Ruths.
10:19There's Ginger Ruth.
10:20And there's the one with brown hair.
10:22Yeah.
10:23Oh.
10:24Hi, both of you for watching.
10:25I need to put them straight in the freezer.
10:27Cole and Zachariah have finally got their biscuits in to chill.
10:32Just as the rest of the bakers are going into the oven.
10:35Bake them for 12 to 15 minutes, yeah, they need to go in.
10:38Putting them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
10:42I'll put them in one minute.
10:47I love bakers.
10:49I'll give you a signal, all right?
10:5215 minutes, bakers.
10:53What?
10:54No.
10:55OK.
10:56It's all right.
10:57Put them in the oven.
10:59I'm just a bit, like, nervous at the moment,
11:01because she's not really made a lot.
11:03I don't really want to be the one who's getting out on first end.
11:06Quite 15 lines of each colour.
11:08See who's going to win.
11:09Oh, and it's the second line.
11:11He's catching up with the first line.
11:12Oh.
11:13And the third line.
11:14Oh, he's catching up with the second line and the first line,
11:16but it seems like the fourth line is going...
11:19No.
11:20He's not going to overtake it.
11:22Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.
11:27That's so hard to do.
11:28I've made it, like, a bit too thick.
11:31Right, 15, boom!
11:33I love baseball.
11:35So, let's play.
11:38That's your signal.
11:40I hate this show.
11:43Ten minutes, bakers.
11:45You've got ten minutes left.
11:47Ten minutes.
11:48I'm going to get them out now.
11:50I think they're cooked enough.
11:52Yes.
11:53They look OK.
11:54I think they're OK.
11:55No.
11:56They're very, very mushy.
11:57I'm just going to go with them.
11:58I'm just going to put these straight into the freezer.
12:07Not neat, but that'll have to do.
12:12Close it.
12:13Boom.
12:14Right.
12:15Getting these in.
12:16I'm putting the sprinkles in the oven to help them get a bit drier quicker.
12:20Please harden, please harden.
12:21With a knife cut, six triangles of white fondant.
12:24So, for the triangles, I need to put the L on top of it.
12:29I wonder what the L stands for.
12:31Oh, Liam.
12:32Five minutes, bakers!
12:34Five minutes!
12:35You've got five minutes left.
12:37OK, I've got to start assembling them now.
12:39They're still a bit warm, but I'm just going to have to do it.
12:41I need to wait for them to cool down, so I'm going to take them out of the tin
12:45and then put them back in the freezer.
12:49Please come out, please come out.
12:52I'll chuck them in the freezer and then I'll just start decorating immediately.
12:56Pipe a line of red icing around the flat edge of each dough.
12:59It's getting messy.
13:01I just need to squeeze some more out.
13:03Oh, I need to fill it with sprinkles.
13:05I forgot about that.
13:06Escape, escape, escape, escape, escape, escape, escape.
13:09My sprinkles aren't done.
13:10I'm just going to have to get them in.
13:11My sprinkles aren't ready yet and my baking biscuits is broken.
13:16I'm going to give it one more minute.
13:18Otherwise, when I put the sprinkles in, they'll just melt.
13:20One minute, bakers!
13:21Oh, gosh.
13:22Oh, for God's sake.
13:28I'm running out of time so badly, but I just need to get these on.
13:33I've dropped one and it's literally disappeared.
13:36I don't know how a baseball cap is supposed to look like.
13:38Like, what are the stitches looking like?
13:40Found it.
13:41Right.
13:42I don't really understand it.
13:43Um...
13:44Stick.
13:45I really hope these are nice.
13:46And...
13:47Six.
13:48I'm going to try to do all of them.
13:49That's it, bakers.
13:50Time's up.
13:51Um...
13:52Please bring your baseball cap pinata biscuits forward and place them behind the photographs
14:09of yourselves on the front tables.
14:11I didn't do sprinkles.
14:12Well, there are sprinkles, but they're not.
14:14Sprinkles.
14:15Miko's are looking excellent.
14:16Thank you so much.
14:17Do you do have sprinkles?
14:18I don't even have sprinkles on mine.
14:20They've not got sprinkles in them?
14:21No.
14:27The bakers' baseball cap pinata biscuits will now face the judges.
14:31Nice to see them.
14:32It's Ryan and Liam.
14:36So, we were looking for six pinata biscuits, flavoured with strawberry,
14:40sprinkles in the middle.
14:41And they have no idea whose biscuits are whose.
14:46Okay.
14:47First one.
14:48We needed six.
14:49There's only two here.
14:51They look good, though, in terms of the shaping.
14:57Hmm.
14:58When it comes to the actual cookie, it's underbaked.
15:01It's slightly soft in the middle, but the flavour is very good.
15:04We just need six.
15:05Hmm.
15:06Not two.
15:10We have six, which is good.
15:11They're not very neat, though.
15:12There's been a slight issue with the piping of the icing along the side.
15:16It should have been used more as a glue.
15:18Oh.
15:24The cookie tastes really good, but it's underbaked.
15:26It's underbaked.
15:27Okay, next one.
15:29We've got, like, two and a half.
15:31The funnel work is pretty good.
15:33Oh.
15:34Oh, no.
15:35Where's the sprinkles at?
15:37Hello?
15:38There's none in here.
15:40Flavour of the cookie is really good, but we needed six,
15:43and there's also been no sprinkles made for this one.
15:47We have six.
15:48Pretty uniform as well.
15:50Do you want to do one?
15:51Go on.
15:52Oh.
15:56That was a pumpkin.
15:58A chunk of a sprinkle.
16:00Your baseball caps are really neat.
16:01The flavour of your cookie is really good.
16:04The fondant does look quite thick, and it's not properly stuck on.
16:08Some are neater than others.
16:15The base of the cookie is Bates Perfection.
16:17The dome is slightly thick.
16:21You have the domes, you have the bases, but there's just no decoration.
16:25Sprinkles.
16:27I like that these are uniform, but the dough itself is really thick.
16:32These are a touch-over baked, but I enjoy eating it.
16:35It's got a nice snap.
16:39These are very neat, and it's nice to see uniform baseball caps.
16:43The biscuits as well look really thin when you lift them up.
16:46I do really like the extra detail you've added by using the pen,
16:49so well done.
16:50Well baked.
16:56The thickness of your base and your dome is really good.
17:00There's a very good attempt at sprinkles inside too,
17:02and I think overall, very neat, very good.
17:05Last one.
17:07It sounds like a really generous amount of sprinkles in here,
17:09and I like the clean fondant work on top.
17:12My only thing is, I think they've been assembled backwards.
17:19The thickness of your base and your dome is spot on.
17:22It's just a shame because they're pretty over-baked.
17:23I don't know, I kind of disagree.
17:26They are very slightly over on the edges,
17:28but I think these are my favourite ones to eat.
17:31The judges will now rank the biscuits,
17:33deciding who will strike out and who has hit a home run.
17:38In eighth place, we have this one, Zacharia.
17:44Really good attempt, but we were missing some of the other baseball caps and the sprinkles.
17:50In seventh place, we have this one, Cole.
17:54Great colour, but we needed six.
17:56Elroy is sixth, Myla fifth, Isla is fourth, and Neve is third,
18:03leaving Miko and Kitto battling for first place.
18:07In second place, we have this one.
18:14Kitto, I really liked eating these biscuits,
18:16but Liam thought they were just a touch over-baked.
18:19Which means in first place, this one, Miko.
18:26The biscuit was perfect, you had the sprinkles,
18:29and the decoration was class.
18:31I can wear it on a night out.
18:33Well done.
18:35Well done, Miko. All come and have a look at each other's baseball caps,
18:38and we'll see you shortly for the showstopper challenge.
18:41Can I bash mine?
18:42Of course.
18:43Of course.
18:45It went amazing, so much better than yesterday.
18:48Yesterday I came fifth, and now I'm first.
18:51I think it was a battle between me and Miko to get first.
18:54Unfortunately, she got it, but she was very deserving of it.
18:58A little bit disappointed, but I've practised my shows quite a bit,
19:02so I'm pretty sure that I won't leave today.
19:05The showstopper is the final challenge before Rav and Liam decide who is today's star baker,
19:15and who is saying goodbye to the competition.
19:18Welcome back, bakers.
19:21For your showstopper challenge, Rav and Liam would like you to bake and dream big
19:26by creating a giant cookie to show us how you see your life in 20 years' time,
19:31whether that's luxuriating on a paradise island, being prime minister, or being the host of this show.
19:37That job will definitely go to AI.
19:40Your cookie may be any shape you like, you may decorate it how you wish,
19:44but it must teleport our judges 20 years into the future.
19:48You have two hours in which to make your 20 years from now giant cookie.
19:53On your marks, get set, bake!
20:00I usually make small cookies, but I do like a giant cookie.
20:06How do you see yourselves in 20 years?
20:08I'll be 47.
20:10Yeah, 47. Married with children.
20:12Couple of kids.
20:13Yeah. Rav?
20:14I don't know. I'll be 57.
20:17Will we still be friends?
20:18Yeah, I think so.
20:19Oh, you think this is friendship?
20:21This is very much a working relationship.
20:24In 20 years I will be...
20:2932.
20:3132.
20:32Today we're asking the bakers to create a cookie
20:34that will show us where they see themselves in 20 years' time.
20:38I think I'll still be baking in 20 years, definitely.
20:41The possibilities are endless.
20:43Peanut butter cookie, red velvet cookie.
20:46It could have, like, a malta middle.
20:48Cookies are my favourite thing in the whole world.
20:50I love them.
20:51Texture-wise, the middle should be very slightly chewy
20:54and the edges should be nice and crisp.
20:56I'm trying to be as quick as I can making this cookie, though,
20:58so I can spend more time decorating.
21:01The decoration is very important
21:02because we should be able to tell
21:04where they see themselves in 20 years' time.
21:07It's mainly just a peanut butter,
21:09mostly because I think in 20 years' time
21:11I'm still going to love peanut butter.
21:18Hi, Kitto.
21:19Hello.
21:20How are you?
21:21I'm good, thank you. How are you?
21:22Yes, good.
21:23So, tell us about your giant cookie.
21:25So, I'm doing a giant carrot cake cookie.
21:29A carrot cake cookie?
21:31Yes.
21:32Is it based on what do you want to be in 20 years?
21:34I want to have my own kitchen garden
21:36and also a restaurant as well.
21:38And I've loved carrots ever since I was, like, two.
21:41I had a carrot-themed birthday party.
21:44What did you do at the carrot-themed birthday?
21:46I wore my carrot costume.
21:47Did you?
21:48No.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Did you eat only carrot-based treats?
21:51Yes.
21:52Kitto's giant carrot will be flavoured with orange and cinnamon
21:56and landscaped with walnut chocolate soil, cream cheese frosting
22:00and fondant vegetables.
22:03What about the texture of this cookie?
22:05My only worry is that it won't spread out, then it will be more like a cake than a cookie.
22:12I'm a big fan of carrot cake, so it in cookie form should be good.
22:17Hopefully.
22:18Hopefully.
22:19Whilst Kitto dreams of orange vegetables, Miko dreams of the silver screen.
22:23I would love to be an actress in a movie.
22:28Oh, an actor?
22:29Yeah.
22:30Well, you know I'm an actor, so maybe I can help you.
22:31Yeah.
22:32Maybe you could help me.
22:33Okay, let me run through a few of my subtle changes in emotion
22:37that I use when I'm acting in a film.
22:39Go ahead.
22:40Okay, so what's this one?
22:44Are you confused?
22:46No, I'm being quizzical.
22:47Oh, quizzical, wow.
22:48Yeah, it's subtle.
22:50Miko will create a fondant version of herself inside a film reel.
22:54Her giant cookie will be lemon and poppy seed flavour,
22:57with a hidden layer of salted caramel.
23:01So how does it work?
23:02You put a layer of dough, then you spread the caramel,
23:05then you put another layer on top.
23:07Yeah.
23:08And then you bake it with the filling in there.
23:09Wow.
23:10Yeah.
23:11I mean, the combination is quite ambitious.
23:13The only problem is, if I don't get my caramel cooled down in time,
23:16then it would all leak out and it would be a mess,
23:18so I'm just trying to make it as quick as I can.
23:21Yeah.
23:22Miko isn't the only baker to catch the acting bug.
23:25I want to be in romance movies.
23:27Right, so what is it about acting that you like?
23:31I just like when, like, just like...
23:34I don't really know, but I just love acting.
23:36I just love, like, just being there with all the cameras on you
23:40and you're just acting, you can just, like, act.
23:42Yeah, so you're acting now?
23:44No.
23:45Go on, Georgie.
23:46Great.
23:47When she's not honing her stage skills...
23:49Look at the camera, look at the camera!
23:51Go on, then.
23:52Bundle of energy Myla loves to let off some steam with her dad
23:54in the local boxing gym.
23:55Big one.
23:57Good job I've got a helmet on.
23:59A giant cookie will be decorated with showbiz fondant cut-outs
24:03and favoured with white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
24:06And are you confident with the flavour?
24:08The white chocolate, the macadamia nut?
24:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:10White chocolate, when I've tried it before, it's been really nice.
24:12It was really gooey inside,
24:13and then outside it's just crisp and holding its shape.
24:15You want to keep the texture in the middle?
24:16Yeah, yes.
24:17And you can't be nervous on stage?
24:18No.
24:19You have to breathe, you've got to perform.
24:20Yeah, I've got to perform.
24:21I've got to perform.
24:22I've got to perform.
24:23I've got to bring it to you in confidence.
24:24Yeah!
24:25Okay, poppy sea time.
24:26Most of the bakers are adding their favourite flavours to their cookie dough.
24:40I like big chunks of chocolate.
24:42Niamh is aiming for extra brownie points by matching her flavours with her theme.
24:47I'm making a matcha and white chocolate cookie because my theme is going to Japan.
24:52because I've always wanted to do that.
24:55Niamh's green tea flavoured matcha cookie will be packed with white chocolate chips
25:00and decorated to depict the sights she wants to visit on her future trip.
25:05And what is it about Japan that you like?
25:07Probably the scenery.
25:09The scenery.
25:10What about the food?
25:11Yeah.
25:12Oh, I like the food as well.
25:13Yeah.
25:14What is the food of Japan?
25:16Fish mainly, isn't it?
25:17Yeah, they do eat a lot of fish.
25:19Yes.
25:20It's healthy.
25:21No chips.
25:22I don't think so.
25:23Seems a bit of a shame.
25:24Mm-hmm.
25:25Never experienced the joy of chips.
25:27No, the joy of chips.
25:29There's a book.
25:30Another baker matching flavours with the dream trip abroad.
25:34Is Isla.
25:35Today I'm doing a lemon and almond cookie because I'm doing the Eiffel Tower and lemon and almond
25:47are typically Paris, Parisian flavours.
25:50I want to live in Paris when I'm older.
25:51Isla's white chocolate lemon and almond Eiffel Tower will be decorated with piped icing and fondant
26:00patisserie.
26:02I've been learning French from that, so you know that app.
26:04Oh, yeah.
26:05I do know the app.
26:06Yeah.
26:07Je m'appelle Harry.
26:08Da-ding.
26:09Yeah.
26:10Yeah.
26:11Comment allez-vous.
26:12Da-ding.
26:13I don't know why you always have to do da-ding after.
26:14Yeah, I do.
26:15That's a French thing, I think.
26:16I think it is.
26:17Yeah.
26:18So now I'm just rolling out the cookie dough.
26:22The bakers need to shape their dough to fit their future visions.
26:26So I'm making two big cookies and then I'm going to cut it out with this.
26:31Filling the tongs with dough.
26:33It's going to end up being carrots.
26:35I know it doesn't really look like it now.
26:37You say so.
26:38I want to have my own kitchen garden.
26:40I also want to have my own restaurant.
26:42And what would you call the restaurant, do you think?
26:45Kitto's Carrots.
26:46Kitto's International Centre for Carrots.
26:49International Centre for Carrots.
26:51K-I-F-C.
26:52A bit like Kent International Fried Chicken, which I've got some money in.
26:57Yeah.
26:58Wow.
26:59Getting an even thickness is going to be critical when baking their giant cookies.
27:04Yeah, it's going to roll it out a little bit more.
27:07That's just as long as it's wide enough to meet the judge's expectation, then I'm happy.
27:13This is the right consistency for the caramel.
27:15So that it doesn't leak everywhere and I can put the dough on top.
27:18It's worked in practice, so just hopefully it'll work now.
27:22OK, so then I have to bake this for 30 minutes because I like a gooey middle.
27:27In goes.
27:28Brilliant.
27:29Alright.
27:30Cross fingers.
27:3120 years is a long time, so it's made me think about my future.
27:36Hopefully some other work will come in.
27:38Oh, it's the phone.
27:40Hello?
27:41It's my agent.
27:42Yeah.
27:43What's that?
27:44Celebrity 24 hours in police custody?
27:4714 celebrities, yes, in a bowl of custard, yes, and Penny Lancaster, Rod Stewart's wife, to try and arrest us.
27:56Absolutely not.
27:57One hour baking.
27:59You're halfway through.
28:00Right.
28:01Decorations on.
28:02The baker's decorations need to clearly represent them in 20 years' time.
28:08I'm just rolling out the fondant, so I'm doing red, white and blue for the French flag.
28:12It's the drama faces.
28:14And Cole hopes his future will rock.
28:1720 years' time, how did you see yourself?
28:19On stage.
28:20Oh.
28:21In a band, playing drums.
28:24What sort of band do you think it'll be?
28:26Like rock, like Arctic Monkeys.
28:28Are you into any music?
28:30Yeah.
28:31Probably the older bands, Oasis, some of the Britpop band.
28:35Did you go to Oasis concert?
28:37No, I didn't, no.
28:38Well, why not?
28:39Well, it just seemed quite expensive, didn't it?
28:42That dynamic pricing.
28:45Surely you could afford that.
28:47What?
28:49If 13-year-old Cole doesn't make it as the drummer,
28:52he also plays clarinet, saxophone and football with his younger brother Carson.
28:57How has that gone in?
29:02Performing on a chocolate chip and vanilla cookie stage in front of an audience of hundreds and thousands,
29:08Cole's fondant band will be missing one key member.
29:11And who will be the front man in the band?
29:15I'm not sure yet.
29:16Well, looking for a charismatic front man.
29:18Yeah.
29:19We're going to hold a tune.
29:20We've got Harry Hill singing.
29:2120 years' time.
29:22Look at me.
29:24I'm just going to keep checking on that.
29:27It's looking good.
29:28It's expanded.
29:29The judges will be looking for a perfect cookie texture.
29:32I think it's just making sure that it's baked enough to hold this shape, but it's not overbaked so it's a bit crumbly.
29:41Underbaked and they will be too gooey to pick up.
29:45It might still not be done because it's a big cookie.
29:48Overbaked.
29:49I just don't want this to burn.
29:50And they will be more like biscuits.
29:52If the edges are starting to go a bit brown and crispy, then that's usually when I take it out.
29:57I don't know.
29:58It's kind of just a sight thing, really.
30:00Oh, no.
30:07I think it might be a little bit burnt.
30:12Do you reckon I've got enough ingredients to remake a whole cookie?
30:14What?
30:15How long does it take to cook it?
30:1718 minutes.
30:18Have you tried it?
30:19It's burnt.
30:20I think it's burnt.
30:24No.
30:25No.
30:26You can tell it's burnt.
30:29I don't want to serve it because I feel like if I serve this, then I'm risking it for risking it.
30:34And if I serve this, I might be going home tonight and I don't want to do that, so I'm really doing the whole thing.
30:48Yeah, that's done.
30:50Most of the baker's giant cookies are out of the oven.
30:53It's just gooey inside and then crisp on the outside. That's just perfect for me.
30:56Hope one's not underdone.
30:59I think it's done. It's just the middle.
31:01We're cooking the tin, so I'm just going to leave it in there for five to ten minutes and then I'm going to start decorating.
31:06But coal is plain ketchup.
31:08I'm going to just completely redo it.
31:10Creaming both butters and sugars, second time, so I've got to move quick.
31:15I've got to move correctly because I've not got a lot of time to waste.
31:19You can do it.
31:2020 years, that's a long time. It made me think about my future. Hopefully some other work...
31:27Oh, that'll be my agent.
31:29Hello? Yes?
31:30What? Eight out of ten cats do countdown?
31:32What, you mean the comedy panel show on Channel 4 hosted by Jimmy Carr?
31:36No, a new show, right? Yes. Where I'll be teaching eight cats how to count from one to ten. Doesn't even make sense.
31:45Thirty minutes, bakers. You've got thirty minutes left.
31:48Just cutting it out. This is the most crucial part for me because I don't want it to break.
31:54I'm making the vegetables for my garden.
31:58I'm making icing sugar. It's a colourful element because you don't want it too plain.
32:03Because I had a problem with decoration earlier.
32:06After running out of time to decorate in the technical, Elroy is hoping his stock increases with his showstopper design.
32:13Tell me, where do you see yourself in 20 years' time?
32:15I see myself being a businessman.
32:19First you should go on Dragon's Den, not Junior Bake Off.
32:22Yeah, the business I pitched when I went on Dragon's Den.
32:26I pitched a delivery once a year of an apple-filled pastry on your birthday.
32:30Oh. What's that? And your turnover.
32:33Come on. Please. Stop it.
32:36Mummy. Thank you so much.
32:39With ambitions to follow in his parents' entrepreneurial footsteps,
32:42Elroy also sets high standards with his hobbies, such as playing golf with his older sister.
32:50Oh, look at that professional.
32:53His spiced snickerdoodle style cookie will be rolled in cinnamon sugar and decorated with piped illustrations of his financial future.
33:01With the chocolate, I'm going to melt it and then pipe finance.
33:06OK. Finance!
33:08You could have done a big calculator.
33:09Yeah. I could have.
33:10Or like the stock market.
33:12I should have done that.
33:13Because without the word finance, we wouldn't know your cookies inspired by you wanting to be a businessman in 20 years' time.
33:19Yeah.
33:20Dried a bit and it tastes better than the last one as well, so I'm actually quite glad I did it again.
33:27As Col's cookie hits the oven...
33:29Put it in for 16 minutes this time because I did 19 on the last one.
33:33Everyone else's future self giant cookies are coming to life.
33:37It's got my cherry blossom tree. I'm going to draw a little Mount Fuji.
33:40Oh, a electric guitar?
33:44Erm, close.
33:46Erm, corkscrew? No, a...
33:49No. One more guess.
33:50Cheese wedge?
33:52I think that's good.
33:54And Zachariah is keeping his career options firmly open.
33:59The thing is, in 20 years' time, I still don't really know what I want to be.
34:03I want to be a lot of things, so why don't I just do all of them?
34:06Zachariah will top a peanut butter cookie with fondant symbols of his ambitions to make a difference in the world,
34:15become an inventor, a filmmaker and something more mysterious.
34:20What's that?
34:21Oh, it's a magnifying glass.
34:22Oh, it's a magnifying glass. So you're what, a detective?
34:24Yeah.
34:26OK.
34:27Erm...
34:28What sort of thing? Murder mysteries?
34:29Maybe not murder.
34:30No, minor crimes.
34:32The theft of a lawnmower, for instance.
34:34Yeah.
34:35Yeah.
34:36Where's it gone?
34:37What?
34:38What if you're just in the garage the whole time?
34:39Yeah.
34:40Oh, you heard about that.
34:41That insurance claim.
34:4520 years.
34:46I wonder what the future holds for me.
34:47Oh, that'll be my agent.
34:49Hello?
34:50Yes?
34:51Something's come in, right?
34:52Celebrity colonoscopy live.
34:55How does that work?
34:56Yeah, this is 12 and...
34:59That's disgusting!
35:02When do they need to know?
35:0415 minutes, bakers.
35:05You've got 15 minutes left.
35:12I've got my stars, my microphone.
35:14I'm making a sign out of rice paper.
35:18Kitto's kitchen garden.
35:19It's a detail thing now.
35:22I'm going to use a knife instead of the chocolate.
35:25It doesn't look thick enough.
35:26I've become a bit too relaxed again.
35:28It'll be fine.
35:29I think that's perfect.
35:32I'm just waiting for it to cool down so I can chuck the fondant on it.
35:36But I don't know how long is left.
35:38Five minutes, bakers.
35:39Five minutes.
35:40You've got five minutes left.
35:42Tie up with this icing.
35:45There we are, to my Mount Fuji.
35:47Not the coolest it could have been, but I'm running behind time.
35:50It's not going to be this neat, but as long as I get some sort of decoration.
35:55Ta-da!
35:57I might make a marzipan bunny.
36:01All my hundreds of thousands of funnels as well.
36:04I've got little croissants, little macarons.
36:06And I'm hoping that the flavours are good.
36:11Should I put it here?
36:14Moment of truth.
36:15Please, please, don't snap.
36:16Oh, my God, it has just snapped.
36:18OK.
36:19I'm just going to pretend that never happened.
36:22It's broken.
36:23On it, on it, on it.
36:26One minute, bakers.
36:28Oh, my gosh.
36:29You've got one minute left.
36:31OK, we're fine.
36:32We're good.
36:34Oh, my gosh.
36:36I've actually improvised, but for the time I've left, I think that's good enough.
36:39Oh, no, it's wonky.
36:40How did I not realise that it's wonky?
36:44Time's up!
36:47That's all I can do.
36:48Oh, I've actually finished it.
36:51Step away from your bakes.
36:52Yours looks absolutely incredible.
36:54You should be so proud of.
36:57This is really good, yeah?
36:59I don't think so.
37:00I think it looks quite bad, actually.
37:02What's the chocolate for?
37:03Uh, it was not thick enough to bite.
37:06Oh, that's really annoying for you.
37:08At least I've got some.
37:10Doesn't look that bad.
37:11The giant cookies will now face the judgement of Rav and Liam.
37:21Myla, could you please bring your 20 years from now giant cookie forward for judging?
37:26Hmm.
37:36Myla, tell us about your giant cookie.
37:38I really want to be an actor.
37:39I want to be on stage.
37:40I want to be performing.
37:41Well, from looking at it, it's really beautiful.
37:45It's so neat and I love the fondant work.
37:47Really good job.
37:50So this is a white chocolate and macadamia cookie.
37:53Okay.
37:54The texture looks fantastic.
37:55You can see that there's still a little bit of gooeyness and it's quite nice and crisp on the outer edge.
38:02Flavour-wise, top tier.
38:05I love the way that you've used those massive, like, chunky macadamias with the really generous chocolate chips.
38:16My inspiration was I wanted to live in Paris in 20 years' time.
38:20This is super impressive.
38:21It's like a painting.
38:22The piping, the fondant work.
38:25Wow.
38:27To tie into the Parisian flavours, I did a lemon and almond cookie with white chocolate chunks.
38:32The almond extract is just a little bit too strong.
38:35Slightly overpowers everything.
38:42So in 20 years, I see myself on a holiday in Japan.
38:45I think it's really smart and it's really inventive.
38:48My giant cookie is matcha flavoured with white chocolate chips.
38:51White chocolate chips and white chocolate buttercream.
38:55The texture of your cookie is really fudgy in the middle.
38:59I like the way that you've used matcha to tie in the flavours of Japan.
39:02Niamh, I think this is bang on.
39:12I do like some of your fondant work.
39:14You can tell what they are.
39:15It's just a biscuit because it's broken around here.
39:16But it does look really delicious and appetising.
39:21So it's a peanut butter cookie.
39:25Just be careful how you roll your dough because this part of your cookie is slightly overbaked and this part of your cookie is perfectly baked.
39:32You've managed to achieve such a fantastic texture in there.
39:35There's a bit more decoration next time.
39:37I see myself on stage in a band in 20 years' time.
39:48It's not your tidiest work, but I see the drum kit, the fondant guitars.
39:54Are you happy with your cookie?
39:56Yeah, I like it. I think it's perfect in my opinion.
39:59Perfect?
40:00In my opinion.
40:02So it's a double chocolate chip and vanilla cookie with a white chocolate and vanilla buttercream.
40:09Flavour-wise, I do like.
40:11When it comes to your white chocolate buttercream, we need a thinner layer.
40:15It's almost too sweet.
40:16So perfect?
40:17I don't know.
40:18Pretty good?
40:20Yeah.
40:21My giant cookie is a snickerdoodle and in 20 years I see myself being a businessman.
40:34I'm just a bit concerned in a sense where if we didn't have the fondant middle, we wouldn't know where your inspiration is.
40:40So in these two hours, you have to do more, okay?
40:42Okay.
40:43So snickerdoodle is like spices and...
40:46Yeah, it's got a bit of a warm feeling.
40:51The spices are great.
40:52They're not overpowering.
40:53The cookie itself though, for me, is just a little bit too thick.
40:57I just think perhaps you could have complimented it with something to cut through it.
41:00Maybe even like a jam on top.
41:03Thanks.
41:10In 20 years time, I really want to be an actor.
41:13The cookie is lemon poppy seed and it's stuffed with caramel.
41:17I think it looks great.
41:18You've brought the story alive.
41:20If you've nailed that middle of the caramel, I'm going to be very impressed.
41:26There we are.
41:27It's there everyone.
41:28It's there.
41:29Oh yeah, beautiful.
41:33Normally I'm not a fan of poppy seeds and lemon, but I feel like those two flavours and then you have that salted caramel in the middle.
41:40Delicious.
41:41You've shown off some pretty major skills today.
41:44You're so good at decoration.
41:45The fondant work is class.
41:46I love the garden in the middle.
41:47You've really blown me away with this.
41:48That is pretty incredible.
41:49The spices are well balanced.
41:50Taste the walnuts, the carrot.
41:51I think it's like one of my favourite biscuits we've ever had in the tent.
41:52Yeah.
41:53You've nailed the texture.
41:54You've nailed the texture.
41:55I love that you've tied it in with that creamy sauce.
41:56You're so good at decoration.
41:57The fondant work is class.
41:58I love the garden in the middle.
41:59I love that.
42:00I love that.
42:01I love that.
42:02I love that.
42:03You've really blown me away with this.
42:04You've really blown me away with this.
42:09That is pretty incredible.
42:11The spices are well balanced.
42:12Taste the walnuts, the carrot.
42:14I think it's like one of my favourite biscuits we've ever had in the tent.
42:18Yeah.
42:20You've nailed the texture.
42:21I love that you've tied it in with that cream cheese frosting on top.
42:24Your obsession with carrots has paid off.
42:26Yes.
42:29You did amazing.
42:30That was just mind-blowing.
42:33Oh, I'm so happy.
42:35I definitely think I'm in danger of going home.
42:37I could have done a bit more in my decoration and, like, the only thing I can do is improve.
42:42So, yeah.
42:43They thought that my shortstop was a bit, like, plain.
42:46Overall, it was much better than I expected.
42:49I am obviously aiming for Starbaker, but I think my biggest competition is Kitto.
42:54The judges have decided who will be Starbaker and who will be the first to leave the tent.
43:01Well done, Bakers.
43:02That was Biscuit Day.
43:03And our star baker is...
43:04Kitto.
43:05Congratulations.
43:06Very well done.
43:07I'm afraid today we start losing people, so I'm afraid the person going home is...
43:12It's Elroy, I'm afraid.
43:13Sorry, mate.
43:14Fine.
43:15You just got started.
43:16Oh, sorry.
43:17Do you want to hug?
43:18Sure.
43:19I got Vogue instruction.
43:20Yes, I'm afraid.
43:21I'm afraid.
43:22It's Elroy.
43:23I'm afraid.
43:24I'm afraid.
43:25I'm afraid.
43:26I'm afraid.
43:27I'm afraid.
43:28I'm afraid.
43:29I'm afraid.
43:30I'm afraid.
43:31I'm afraid.
43:35I'm afraid.
43:36You just got started.
43:40Sorry!
43:41Do you want a hug?
43:42Do you want a hug?
43:43Sure.
43:44I got very constructive and good feedback,
43:47so I'll definitely continue baking.
43:49And you've made good friends?
43:51Yes.
43:52It was really difficult sending Elroy home.
43:54He's a fantastic baker,
43:56but his cookie, unfortunately, just didn't hit the brief.
43:59But the standard in the tent is incredibly high.
44:02Well done, Tukito.
44:03Congratulations.
44:06Star baker!
44:09I feel like I could fly and just...
44:11I have so much energy, I could just...
44:13Carrot boy.
44:15Carrot boy.
44:17Kitto had a great day.
44:18He nailed the brief.
44:19Carrot cake in cookie form with cream cheese.
44:23Wicked.
44:24Next time, it's bread day.
44:26I'm going to prove myself worthy.
44:29The bakers reach for the moon in the technical.
44:31We have a lift off.
44:32Who's on in the oven?
44:33Mine.
44:34Oh, my God.
44:35And celebrate their idols.
44:36She's a very inspiring woman.
44:38With bread roll model showstoppers.
44:39Dave Grohl looking pretty fire.
44:42Hey, homies.
44:43But whose bread will rise?
44:44She's massive.
44:45To the top.
44:46You've surprised me with this one.
44:47It's so nice.
44:49And who...
44:49Will fall flat?
44:51Ha!
44:52Ha!
