00:00What a beautiful day for taking the boat out.
00:08Mind you, it's much easier once the tides come in.
00:11Welcome to Junior Bake Off.
00:15Oh-ho!
00:17That's the right one.
00:20Hang on, I've overshot.
00:22Last time, it was dessert day.
00:25You've made donuts?
00:26Nope.
00:27You've made brownies?
00:28Nope.
00:29First place technical and an ingenious showstopper.
00:32That filling is like a caramel custard that you would get in a Michelin star restaurant.
00:36When Isla her first star baker.
00:38It's Isla.
00:39Well done.
00:40And whilst Ethan's dragon almost left him burned.
00:44It's breaking.
00:46It was Lila who had a wobble.
00:48Your pie fillings haven't set.
00:50And had to say goodbye to the tent.
00:52Sorry, Lila.
00:53You've been so much fun.
00:55Every bit of this experience has just been amazing.
00:58This time.
00:59Get those pasties out of the oven now.
01:01It's pastry day.
01:02And the baker's last chance.
01:04Dun dun dun.
01:05To make it to finals week.
01:07Very stressful.
01:08You know, it's raising an easy time in the Junior Bake Off.
01:10Don't forget it.
01:11They battle to perfect their path.
01:13And a dream team shoe stopper.
01:15Can't fault you for the shoes.
01:16Turns into a nightmare.
01:18I'm going to go home today.
01:21I'm genuinely going home.
01:30Oh my gosh, pastry day.
01:31Yay.
01:32How are you feeling?
01:33Good, yeah?
01:34Not good.
01:35Is it really pastry day?
01:36Are you sure?
01:37Are you really sure it's pastry day?
01:39Have I got through?
01:40I can't believe it.
01:41Have I actually?
01:42Thank you, Penelope.
01:43I've been making pastries since a few years ago.
01:46When I thought, we don't need a tub of profiteroles.
01:50I can just make them.
01:52This is where I was on cake day.
01:54And I had a really good day, so I got good vibes.
01:57We're right around the corner from Valenswood.
01:59I'm a bit anxious for the technical.
02:01But we've got to keep consistent.
02:03And don't stop fighting.
02:09Morning, bakers.
02:10It's pastry day.
02:11And your technical challenge has been set by someone who's short,
02:14but never flaky.
02:15It's Rav.
02:16Do you have any tips for our bakers?
02:18You will need to be delicate if you want to come top of the pops.
02:22Mmm.
02:23Well, it is a technical challenge.
02:24It's judge-blind,
02:25so make like a one-legged chicken and hop it.
02:32She's not playing.
02:34For your technical challenge,
02:35Rav would like you to make six cheese and onion pasty pops.
02:39Miniature pasties made from flaky pastry,
02:41filled with cheese and onion,
02:43shaped and popped onto lolly sticks.
02:45That's going to take a lot of licking.
02:47Your pasty pops must be served with a tangy pickled ketchup.
02:51You have one hour in which to make Rav's cheese and onion pasty pops.
02:54On your marks.
02:55Get set.
02:56Bake.
02:57Whoa.
02:58That's a lot of stuff.
02:59Oh, my goodness.
03:00The bakers have been given the same ingredients.
03:03Oh, there's onions.
03:04Ugh.
03:05That's going to smell.
03:06And Rav's recipe.
03:07Oh, pickle juice.
03:08What are these things?
03:09To make her cheese and onion pasty pops.
03:10To make the pastry in the food processor,
03:11blitz together the flour, butter and salt.
03:12We have made pastry before.
03:13Not under pressure.
03:14I think my body may be going,
03:15under pressure, pastry?
03:16What?
03:17Right now, but I'm going to just keep calm.
03:18Personally, I don't like cheese and onion pasties.
03:19We've never made like a pasty pop before.
03:20What the heck is a pasty pop?
03:21Maybe it's like an ice cream on a stick, but a cheese and onion flavored one.
03:22Doesn't seem right, does it?
03:23Nope.
03:24It doesn't seem right, does it?
03:25Nope.
03:26It's the last technical of the week.
03:27What are the bakers making?
03:28Six cheese and onion, potato and onion.
03:29I'm going to just keep calm.
03:30I'm going to just keep calm.
03:31I'm going to just keep calm.
03:32I'm going to just keep calm.
03:33Personally, I don't like cheese and onion pasties.
03:34I've never made like a pasty pop before.
03:36What the heck is a pasty pop?
03:39Maybe it's like an ice cream on a stick, but a cheese and onion flavored one.
03:45Doesn't seem right, does it?
03:46Nope.
03:47It's the last technical of the week.
03:50What are the bakers making?
03:52Six cheese and onion potato pasty pops with flaky pastry on the outside, filled with
03:57a wonderful potato filling and served with this tangy tomato ketchup.
04:02I wanted to challenge the bakers to make a beautiful flaky pastry in an hour.
04:07How did the bakers achieve that because no one can make a full puff pastry in one hour?
04:11We've gone for a flaky pastry made fromage frais.
04:15And that's almost like a cheats way of achieving this wonderful rise on the edges.
04:19They have to put the filling in and seal it up properly so that none of that filling spills out in the oven.
04:25But it needs to be handled very lightly because if you over handle it, you're going to overwork it.
04:30Then it will be more like short crust than flaky.
04:32It will be like two biscuits.
04:34Should we eat it like a lollipop?
04:35I'm definitely doing that.
04:39Pastries, flakies, golden brown, little ketchup on top.
04:43Yeah.
04:48That slaps so hard.
04:50This might be my favourite technical ever.
04:52Yeah, facts.
04:53Flaky, the filling is well seasoned and that ketchup as well, slightly tangy.
04:58It's so good.
04:59Yummy.
05:00Do you think the bakers are going to do it today?
05:02We'll see which baker rises above the rest.
05:05Rise.
05:11The baker's first step to making their flaky pastry is to blitz the butter and flour together until it looks like breadcrumbs.
05:19Breadcrumbs.
05:21Hi, Penelope.
05:22Hi.
05:23What's that you're putting in there?
05:24Uh, fromage fray.
05:26Fromage fray.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Well, that is, don't you?
05:29Um, not really, but...
05:30It's melted that's been scared.
05:32What?
05:33Yeah, you know, like, cheese.
05:35Sometimes they just agitate it.
05:36Really?
05:37It comes from cheese.
05:38Fray, afraid.
05:39Am I distracted?
05:40Yes!
05:41I'm...
05:42You're very distracting me right now.
05:45Add in the fromage fray and pulse gently until the dough forms.
05:49It's essential the bakers treat the dough with care.
05:54I don't like that sound.
05:55If overworked, it won't have a light flaky texture once baked.
06:00Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and bring together into a ball.
06:05It looks very wet.
06:10Oh, so sticky.
06:11Be careful when handling.
06:13You'd have to be really delicate.
06:15Cut.
06:17Roll out the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
06:21So, rolling out approximately a coin, so I don't know what coin.
06:26Pound?
06:27I've got a feeling it is, so...
06:28What is the thickness of the pound coin?
06:30It's like half a centimetre.
06:32Rolling the dough to a consistent thickness is vital for an even bake.
06:36Roll one more time.
06:39It must also be large enough to cut out and assemble all six pasty pops.
06:45Is your dough looking really wet?
06:47It's really sticky, but it is supposed to be sticky.
06:50The dough is soft and warms up quickly, making it increasingly difficult to handle.
06:55But I don't think it's supposed to be this sticky.
06:57And I get some more parchment and I'm going to roll it out again.
07:01Because as you can see, it doesn't look very good.
07:04I think I've done it wrong.
07:05As most of the baker's pastry firms up and cools...
07:09The recipe says to put it in the freezer.
07:11They can move on to the pasty fillings.
07:14But Isla is still re-rolling hers and is being left behind.
07:18While the potatoes are boiling, put a splash of oil in a pan and fry the onions.
07:24I'm golden in colour.
07:25To ensure their pasty fillings are cooked to perfection, the bakers must multitask.
07:30I'm just sort of boiling my potatoes whilst I'm cooking my onions down.
07:35Boil for ten minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
07:39In all fairness, I think I want to sort of overcook the potatoes because you want them to be nice and mashable.
07:45Mind you, if you eat them raw, they'll last a lot longer.
07:49How do you feel for the final day before finals week?
07:52Yeah, I am a bit nervous because, you know, Ralph's a pastry chef.
07:55She says she is anyway.
07:57All comes out of the packet as far as I can see.
07:59You know what she had for dinner last night?
08:01A sachet of smash.
08:02You know, the instant potato just with a spoon.
08:05And for pudding she had an angel of delight.
08:07Straight out of the packet.
08:08Yummy.
08:10So the pastry has made it to the freezer somehow.
08:12While Isla plays catch up.
08:15It's boiling.
08:16Ethan hasn't followed Ralph's recipe.
08:19Ethan?
08:20Yes?
08:21You're supposed to fry with onions at the same time.
08:23No, no, you're not meant to.
08:25It said not to put the onions on yet.
08:27No, it says, whilst the potatoes are boiling.
08:31Have you read that?
08:33A simple mistake that risks wasting valuable time.
08:37It's like you said not to put the onions on yet, though.
08:41That's what I don't get.
08:44I need to hurry up.
08:47They're a bit hard to mash, but it's okay because...
08:50Muscles.
08:54Transfer the mixture to a shallow tray, then freeze to chill.
08:59Can't do that now.
09:01Because I'm waiting on a lot of stuff.
09:02Any idea what these will look like?
09:05Pasties.
09:06Yeah.
09:07You ever been to the home of the Cornish pasty?
09:09No.
09:10Greg's?
09:12Need a little bit more time on the cooking.
09:15Maybe it's meant to take a while.
09:17With both Ethan and Isla behind, the rest of the bakers start preparing their pastry to be assembled into their pasty pops.
09:26Cutting out the shapes, or the circles, need 12 of them.
09:31Whoa!
09:32I can't get 12 out of that.
09:40It's a lovely day today, isn't it?
09:41Nice day to take the boat out.
09:4230 minutes, bakers.
09:45You're halfway through.
09:47No!
09:48No, no, no, no, no.
09:50These need to go in the oven ASAP.
09:53Was that Harry just throwing on the grass?
09:56This man's scary.
09:58Very nervous, because these have got to cook for 20 minutes.
10:021, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
10:05I've got 12.
10:06Once all 12 pastry circles are cut.
10:09How am I going to fit 12?
10:12I'm going to have to re-roll it, aren't I?
10:15The bakers must sandwich a tablespoon of filling between two of them to make one pasty pop.
10:21I didn't need 12 after all.
10:24Oh my God, that's so embarrassing.
10:26And not fold one piece over.
10:29Like a traditional Cornish pasty.
10:32You're trying to get, like, the filling in.
10:35Just trying to get all the ingredients together.
10:38I need to hurry up.
10:40I don't know about you, but when I get a Cornish pasty, I always lick all round it.
10:44Just to sort of start the digestion process off.
10:47The amylase in my saliva just gives me a head start on the other Cornish people.
10:52I really don't know what you're saying, but okay.
10:55Top with another circle of pastry.
10:57Gently press the edges together to seal.
11:00I'm stressing out real bad.
11:02Sprinkle nigella seeds, fennel seeds and flaky seal salt on top of each pasty.
11:07And I think that's going quite well.
11:09Is it supposed to look like that?
11:12Oh no, I've done it wrong.
11:14I misshaped them.
11:20It's fine.
11:22Can't go back right now.
11:26One, two, three, four, five, six.
11:27I need to hurry up.
11:29I put them on for 18 minutes.
11:31How long is it left?
11:32I'm not just seeds, I don't know.
11:35These look rubbish.
11:37I love the idea of savoury lollies, which is why I've come up with this.
11:40Looks like an ice cream, right?
11:42But it's a parsnip.
11:4515 minutes, makers.
11:47You've got 15 minutes left.
11:48Lolly sticks.
11:50Between, oh, two layers.
11:52These are going to be raw.
11:54Pure raw.
11:56Now I'm just waiting for the pasties to come out of the oven.
12:00My pasties are going to be horrible.
12:01Well, it's just for a guinea pig.
12:02That's for the ketchup.
12:03Is it?
12:04Oh, right.
12:05To make the ketchup, put a splash of oil in a small pan.
12:07Oil, garlic, granules, brica, celery, salt and brown sugar.
12:08And some pickle juice.
12:09It smells so nice, I love pickles!
12:28合oh gah, that smells disgusting.
12:32It smells like...
12:33Vomit.
12:34Once the ketchup is made and cooling, it's a waiting game.
12:41Now it's got to wait for pasties to cook.
12:45So the pastry is looking quite good.
12:50Proper golden.
12:52The judges are expecting golden brown, flaky, perfectly baked and perfectly shaped pasty pops.
13:01The mini Cornish pasties, basically.
13:04They look great, I've got to tell you.
13:06They look like pickaxes.
13:11They're going to be under bed.
13:13But it's fine, come on. It'll be fine.
13:16My little minion.
13:19Five minutes, bakers. You've got five minutes left.
13:27It's time.
13:31I haven't been done.
13:35I'll just one minute. These are going out.
13:40Serve the baked pasty pops with the ketchup butter on the side.
13:43Where's the ketchup?
13:46It's not entirely cold, it's still actually a bit hot.
13:49Very stressful.
13:50You're experiencing an easy time in the Junior Bake Off tent, forget it.
13:53You might as well go home now. Stress.
13:55Ah, it's hot.
13:56These look good.
13:57I hope they are impressed. I rushed a lot.
14:01Ooh.
14:02Get those pasties out of the oven now. Two minutes.
14:06Thanks, Harry, for being so unhelpful.
14:08I'm done.
14:09I'm done.
14:10I'm done.
14:11They look OK. I know I've misshapen them a bit.
14:12Underbaked, but the way they had to be.
14:13That's it, bakers. Your time is up. Time's up. Step away from your bakes.
14:17Well done.
14:18If you could please place your cheese and onion pasty pops behind the photographs of yourselves on the front table.
14:24I need to go back for my ketchup now.
14:25I need to go back for my ketchup now.
14:26I have a smiley face. Ethan, smile.
14:31The bakers' cheese and onion pasty pops now face the judges. Nice to see him. It's Rav and Liam.
14:35And they have no idea whose is whose.
14:38We were looking for some good.
14:39The guys.
14:40Let me see some good.
14:42That was a fun, that was an important one, right?
14:45I do.
14:46It's him, he's good.
14:48Does he have to have to?
14:50See.
14:51Oh, look.
14:53The bakers' cheese and onion pasty pops now face the judges.
14:57Nice to see him. It's Rav and Liam.
15:00And they have no idea whose is whose.
15:03We were looking for six cheese and onion pasty pops filled with the potato cheese and onion filling and served with a tomato ketchup
15:11Some of them are pretty neat actually
15:13Those are like dumplings
15:20Right first one some looks baked some looks slightly under baked
15:33Your filling is really nice your potatoes are cooked the ketchup on the side is also delicious the pace is just slightly underbaked
15:41Okay, next one they're pretty neat these look nice and golden and you can see that the pastry is lovely and flaky from the edges
15:49Come to eat it like this. Yes
15:51fine
15:58Pastry is really nice filling is good ketchup is great, too
16:02My pasty was slightly underbaked whereas Rav's one was crisp and flaky and delicate
16:07So just be careful how you roll out your pastry next time. Okay, next one some are slightly bigger than others and
16:14There's one or two that are a little bit pale. There's definitely a heavy amount of fennel sprinkling on some of them
16:23The ketchup tastes great I would have liked more filling thinner pastry and next time they just need a bit longer in the oven
16:32Okay, next one
16:34It's not the right shape I
16:36Can see exactly where this bake was going because if they do look like mini pasties
16:40Oh
16:41Good amounts of filling. Yeah
16:43These are really well baked
16:48The tomato ketchup is lovely as well. They're golden they even but that's not the shape that we were looking for
16:57Last one
16:58Okay, yeah neat uniform on the visual spot on
17:03Full of flavor
17:08I love the tomato ketchup as well the filling is great. It's just how you've handled the pastry. It's not flaky enough
17:15Rav and Liam will now rank the pasty pops from worst to best
17:20In fifth place. We have this one Ethan really good attempt. We just wanted it baked for a bit longer
17:27Isla is fourth and Humphrey third
17:30Leaving Penelope and Umair battling for top of the pasty pops
17:36In second place we have
17:40This one
17:42Amair um yeah pastry was flaky filling was good just slightly underbaked which means in first place
17:50We have this one Penelope really well baked lovely filling and really good tomato ketchup
17:56Well done Penelope come and have a look at each other's bakes and we'll see you shortly for the showstopper challenge
18:06I feel so excited that I was on top of the technical
18:10I could may get through to finals a week, but I don't want to get my hopes up
18:13I'm a bit worried because I feel like I'm in a dangerous position
18:16I might have been able to come third because although Humphreys were absolutely brilliant
18:23He did kind of do the wrong shape. I actually really love that shape
18:27I'm feeling a bit gutted if I just got that shape right I could be in a really good position to get through
18:32I'm a bit nervous because if I don't get a showstopper near perfect, I'll be probably going home
18:42Just one challenge remains before the judges decide who goes through to finals week and who will be leaving the tent
18:49Welcome back bakers for your last showstopper challenge before finals week
18:55Rav and Liam would like you to create your very own dream team religious
19:00Using shoe pastry filled with bold and harmonious flavors and brought to life with an imaginative and creative decoration
19:08Your ultimate celebrity dream team may be the perfect lineup for a girl group
19:12Fantasy football team or host and judges for the next series of junior bake-off. Wait a minute
19:19You have two hours on your marks get set bake
19:26I'm quite nervous because there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong with two pastry
19:30Hopefully it won't go as wrong as it could
19:34You've got a new tv show who's your dream team
19:36What's the show?
19:37It's the world's most dangerous canyons one of them is Ainsley Harrier
19:40And uh and Gemma Collins
19:42That would work
19:43It's a zip wire show
19:44Sorry
19:48My god
19:49Today's showstopper we want the bakers to make six religiers
19:53How do you say it? Reli... Rel... Religi... U.S.C.?
19:56Religiers
19:58Representing their celebrity dream team
20:01It's going to have four footballers
20:03A referee and a manager
20:06This challenge is all about the shoe
20:08So I want to see perfectly baked shoe buns that are filled to the max
20:12It'll be good because it's the end of the week fast week's just there
20:16The thing that will make the bakers stand out today is nailing those flavor combinations
20:20No in the inside it's actually orange
20:22Dun dun dun
20:24My advice for the baker today keep an eye on how much egg they put into that mixture
20:28After you add the eggs in there you lift it up and it becomes a V
20:32If they add too much eggs the shoe buns won't rise
20:35Then there won't be enough space to actually fill their buns
20:39It could be a disaster
20:40If I do go silent I'm probably just like absolutely concentrating
20:43We'd like to see an eclectic mix of celebrity dream teams
20:46I've chosen Moana because she's really inspiring to me
20:50I'm picking Drake
20:51I'd put Harry Hill because he makes me laugh so much
20:54Princess Sophia Delipsing
20:56I want to see their celebrities in shoe form today
21:00I want to see their shoelebrities
21:02You can take that one if you want
21:07Penelope
21:08Hi
21:08Okay dream team religieuse
21:10What's the plan?
21:11My dream team is the suffragettes because they fought for women's votes
21:17If we didn't have them women wouldn't really have power it would all be about the men
21:21I'm so thankful that they actually came in because men would be too big headed
21:26I feel like I've had a history lesson
21:28History lesson 101
21:29Thank you very much
21:29Sure
21:30Tell us about the decoration
21:31I am doing banners that say votes for women and Edith Garud is having a black belt
21:37Emily Pankhurst is having a really fancy la-di-la hat and a sash
21:42You have so much to do
21:43Yeah
21:44Worried at all
21:45No because I've tried this at home and it really puffed up and it was really nice
21:49After finishing first in the technical
21:51Penelope is not stopping to take a breath
21:53Her six feminist freedom fighters will be filled with an orange and white chocolate ganache and ube cream
22:00Each will be finished with a personalized decoration
22:03Do you know the suffragettes?
22:05I love them
22:05Test me
22:06Okay so Emily Pankhurst
22:08Yes
22:08No
22:08Not personally
22:09But
22:09Tell me what she has done
22:11Any particular day?
22:14She was the founder of the WSPU
22:17SPT
22:19You
22:19You
22:19Then
22:20Then
22:21Leonora Cohen the person that threw the crowbar at the
22:26Come on say it
22:27Window
22:29House
22:30Caravan
22:31No the crown drills
22:33Well you seem to know a lot about the suffragettes I'll give you that
22:36Thank you
22:39It's looking good just getting the eggs ready
22:42There's lots of eggs shown there so I crack on
22:46Usually on the first part I add quite a bit in
22:49Too much eggs isn't good
22:51To crack the perfectly pipeable shoe the bakers need egg spurred precision with the final ingredient
22:58You don't want to over mix a mixture you don't want to under mix it where you've got lumps of flour
23:03And if it's too hot it's got a cool right all those things lead to it not rising properly
23:08Which is the main thing
23:10Only by achieving the perfect drop
23:12Mom hurts
23:13Can they be sure their shoe will rise to the occasion?
23:16The dough should fall smoothly and that will plop down so I need to add in more
23:21What I'm looking for is it to slowly come off the spatula and when it does come off it goes into a v-shape
23:29It's not bad
23:30Hi, ethan tell me about your dream team
23:32My dream team is a bunch of people that I look up to in the world so David Attenborough
23:38Luke Litzler
23:39Anton Deck
23:40Simon Cowell
23:41So that would be what a tv show funfair teacups in each teacup you've got Simon Cowell and you've got
23:47And deck in one teacup who should we have as this sort of central host
23:51David Attenborough yeah, David Attenborough is in the middle with a cattle prod
23:55It's only a small charge. It's not going to disable them momentarily. Maybe 500 volts. Yes, then what happens? It's a quiz. Oh, yeah
24:05Ethan's hoping his who's who of hosting tv crew will rescue his hopes of making it to finals week
24:11Each tele star will have a head full of salted caramel and a belly bursting with apple and cinnamon custard
24:18Pure salted caramel they want to pipe in the top. Yeah, so that's gonna be really rich
24:23Yes, and it's going to be an apple and cinnamon creme pack in the larger ones
24:28And how's that shoe paste you're looking looking all right? How do you know when it's done?
24:31You have to wait for a shiny
24:33Smooth paste now to have accomplished that and then I'll be able to pipe it. Okay. Can I look at your recipe?
24:39Two eggs only
24:42Yeah, don't want sloppy shoe
24:45How many times have you practiced this twice? And did it come out good on each time? Yeah, it did come out good making me nervous now
24:53I'm gonna do that into this pan because this pan is my caramel
25:00Oh, I just heard something and shoe isn't the only thing testing ethan's nerves
25:05Is she doing a salted caramel and creme pack?
25:07Because I think I heard that because today his menu is facing direct competition
25:12Isla are you doing a salted caramel and creme pack? Yeah
25:16I'm doing the exact same
25:18Yeah, but you're doing an apple and cinnamon one
25:20Is yours just a plain?
25:21Yeah, a vanilla one
25:22All right, leave this to a side cool a bit
25:26Hi Isla
25:27Hi
25:28So is it going to be that the salted caramel is in the smaller ones and then the bigger ones are going to be the creme pack
25:33How much experience do you have making shoe?
25:36I wasn't too sure on how to make shoe
25:38I actually watched one of your videos
25:40Did it help?
25:41Yeah, it did
25:41The shoe quid
25:43Don't let me down
25:44I'll try
25:44Yeah
25:46Isla is channelling star power with a cast of custard and salted caramel filled shoe icons including the likes of Rihanna, Ariana Grande and Dwayne The Rock Johnson
25:56Her display will be presented in a hand-built stage
26:00So you've got this team what are you going to do with them?
26:03Solving crimes
26:04Nope
26:05Perhaps a travel show where they visit boot fairs
26:08Character car something ironic a sort of Nissan sunny anti sort of high status
26:15Harry you know you're really inspiring
26:17Can I be on your team?
26:18Yeah
26:19Now
26:20I don't think it's fit in there though
26:24Pipes good it's piping out really smoothly
26:26To bake the best buns fit to form their dream team the bakers must pipe their shoe
26:31This one needs a bit more
26:33As consistently as possible
26:35They all look like poo emerges
26:38I mixed it perfectly fine
26:41Why is there so much like butter oil leaf?
26:49For an additional characterful touch
26:52I'm rolling out the cracklin so cracklin is like a biscuit top
26:56Some of the bakers are topping their buns
26:58So i'm putting my cracklin on lots of different colours for the hairs
27:01Ariana Grande the rock no not this is the rock and then that's just a blob
27:08Time to go in
27:09With their shoe in the oven the bakers can turn their attention to their fillings
27:14Okay
27:15Creme pats now
27:16Oh god
27:20Rav and liam are expecting shoe buns bursting with flavour
27:24That's white chocolate and then two tablespoons of this
27:28Mango and white chocolate i hope mango is a popular flavour with rave and liam
27:32And while some plan to pack a punch with their two fillings
27:35I'm doing a salted caramel and a vanilla creme pack
27:39Really excited for the stash robot cream
27:42Others are attempting to impress with simplicity
27:44If you go for really complex flavours it sort of becomes almost too complex and you've got to
27:52Keep it simple some of the time so i'm going to make a chocolate ganache
27:55Whip it and it's going to incorporate a bunch of air into it
27:58Nice
27:59And then the bottom bun is going to be filled with a coffee cream
28:03That sounds nice
28:04I love coffee
28:05Now tell us about the decoration what are you using
28:06It's mostly fondament work yeah i've got a few googly eyes to stick on as well
28:11Football crazy humphrey plans to wow the judges by teaming up a classic coffee and chocolate combo
28:18With a lineup of shoe sports stars each will be decorated with fondant strips and expressive faces
28:25See we know them by their surnames don't we
28:27Yeah
28:27Rinaldo
28:28Rinaldo
28:28Jordan Pickford
28:30He's not one that you know from his second name is he Pickford
28:33Um i don't really know many other Pickfords
28:36Well there's a removal company
28:39Pickfords vans yeah
28:40I think he's from the Pickford van family
28:44I'm going to have a better team than humphrey
28:46Isn't it humphrey
28:47Humphrey isn't the only baker aiming to score high with a squad of shoe footballers
28:51Oh focused because he knows i'm going to beat him
28:54You know hopefully i can outdo him
28:57Tell me about your dream team
28:59So three of them are like older footballers
29:02And three of them are new york footballers
29:04Oh okay let me guess uh billy bassinghurst is he one of them
29:09Don't know who that is archibald is he still playing
29:11I don't know
29:12Aussie Ardiles
29:13You've heard of jude bellingham
29:15Yes
29:15Oh yeah i'm doing jude bellingham
29:16Because his mum was the gravy lady wasn't she
29:19I don't know
29:20Yeah
29:20Mmm Bisto
29:22Bisto
29:22That's what he says when he scores a goal
29:25Who
29:26No he doesn't
29:27Umair's shoe pastry players are a mix of legends and his current football heroes including
29:33Ronaldo
29:34Messi and Wayne Rooney
29:35He's hoping his pairing of mango pastry cream and pistachio buttercream will hit the back of the net
29:42Is it like a traditional buttercream you're you're making like yeah
29:45I've already crushed up the pistachios
29:47Oh and you've made your own pistachio paste
29:49Yeah i added in cream and then it formed a paste
29:53These sound like good flavours together
29:54How are you decorating your religios
29:56With fondant add the players jersey numbers
29:59Spot on
30:00Just change Messi to like Michael Carrick and we'll be happy
30:04Rob doesn't know who these players are
30:1460 minutes bakers
30:16You've got 60 minutes there
30:18Must be hard and carry
30:23I don't want to open it
30:25With a matter of moments separating over baked from under baked
30:28But i don't want to leave it in there so that it burns
30:30Timing is crucial
30:32Problems problems problems
30:34And even once out of the oven
30:36Okay hopefully done
30:37Before they can be transformed into a shoe crew of heroes
30:41I'm just poking little holes in it
30:43The buns need to let off steam
30:45It's going to help dry out the inside otherwise it'll collapse
30:49They look pretty much perfect don't they
30:50Well i won't exactly say they look like humans
30:53Be very skilled at this year to get shoe pastry that puffed up to look like a human
31:00But for ethan forming the dream team
31:02i feel like these are smaller
31:04Might have become the stuff of nightmares
31:07I don't know what's happened
31:08God i'm nervous now
31:12Oh my god i actually
31:14No they're too small because i'm piping my caramel in
31:17Well i don't know if i want to restart
31:22I don't care they haven't they don't just haven't risen
31:33I don't know what i was testing there
31:35With buns cooling most of the bakers can focus on finishing their fillings
31:41So this is ube extract it's very popular in the philippines
31:46Thanks to a disappointing rise with his first batch
31:48I'm adding two more eggs this time
31:51Ethan is having to remake his shoe
31:57But he's not the only one facing setbacks
31:59That was my counterpart and then i burnt it
32:03I don't know really what happened but um it's just not worked so i have to do it again
32:15I've only gone and beached it
32:17And he's going to stay half an hour
32:2030 minutes bakers
32:22You've got 30 minutes left
32:25All right these are going to have to go in the oven now
32:29Oh
32:35Chill out
32:37Right very strong coffee
32:39After a couple of show-stopping mishaps in the challenge so far
32:43Ethan and Isla find themselves racing to catch up
32:46Making my crampat again it's just not works
32:49Some apple sauce
32:51How much cinnamon how much cinnamon oh my god i'm so stressed right now
32:55Do not feel very confident at all
32:57I'm just trying to keep myself calm
33:01Collected and with five bakers competing for four spots in finals week
33:05I've sort of revised this recipe over and over and over again
33:09The stakes have never been higher what would it mean to you to get through to finals week
33:15I'd be really proud because it's very tricky to even get in they had over 14 entries this year
33:21Over 14 entries oh my god then how did they manage to do it because you need at least 16
33:28One's paid
33:30Who they don't tell me which one is the one that's paid to do it
33:33I haven't been told that i'm getting paid so
33:36Come on
33:36This is my crampat the heat didn't help and working up to nine
33:43So my second batches of the crampat was much better
33:48Whilst Isla can finally move on to chilling her fillings
33:50I'm struggling
33:52Ethan is still struggling to get his to thicken
33:55I don't know what to chew
33:5815 minutes baker
33:59I've got 15 minutes left
34:01You've got 15 minutes left
34:05Yeah these look way better i'm so gonna restart
34:08I'm getting the caramel into the whatever this is called syringe thing
34:14Beard miser man
34:19Yeah i think the piping's the hardest bit
34:22Gotta make sure that you get every single centimeter inside that bun filled
34:28Right that's enough
34:29With time crashing on
34:31I'm so hot i can't speak
34:34Ethan has decided to abandon his apple custard in favor of a speedy whipped cinnamon cream
34:39Oh this cream is just gonna melt
34:41I'm not going to plant
34:44For everyone else
34:46I'm going to just start assembling
34:48It's time to bring their dream team to life
34:51I'm gonna paint the color of their jerseys
34:55Oh
34:56I am just making decoration as fast as I possibly can because it's kind of stressful right now
35:02That's a good job to make Ronaldo
35:05Sorry
35:13I'm going home i'm genuinely going home
35:1710 minutes 10 minutes bakers
35:21No no no no no no no no no no

35:53I've done only one t-shirt and I need to do six
35:58I need to hurry up
35:59Emily and Pankhurst
36:01Em-em-em-em-em-em
36:02Fancy hat
36:05Do you actually know how long we have left?
36:07Five minutes bakers
36:11Time is almost up
36:15I haven't got enough time to do them all
36:16Yes
36:17Go on Edgar
36:18So Emily and Pankhurst, Rosa May, Birlinghouse
36:21I could do like a red strip for England
36:23I've got the refs shouting at them
36:25And this one is gonna be sent off
36:28All right
36:28Ah
36:29No
36:29This isn't working

36:52Oh who did you hear that from?
36:53Thanks Humphrey
36:54Just the finishing touches
36:56All right
36:56Ah
36:57No
36:59One two three four five six
37:01That's it bakers
37:02Time's up
37:06Time's up bakers
37:07Step away from your baits
37:09They look really ugly
37:10Wow
37:13Penelope
37:14They're just amazing
37:16If you don't get star baker today
37:18There's something wrong
37:19Are you okay?
37:21Ethan they look good
37:23I'm going home
37:24I'm going home
37:24No no no not
37:25It's okay
37:33The bakers dream team religieuses
37:35will now face the judgment
37:36of Raph and Liam
37:38Humphrey kindly bring your
37:40dream team religieuses forward for judging
37:42My dream team religieuses is a football team
37:56Love the decoration
37:57Especially the referee
37:58It's like
37:59Oh that's a foul
38:02It's really good
38:03So coffee top and chocolate bottom
38:04Uh coffee bottom chocolate top
38:08Humphrey the shoe is beautiful
38:09It's really well made
38:10There is enough space
38:11For all of that filling to go in there
38:13I love the chocolate ganache
38:14Contrasting against the coffee
38:15Maybe for me
38:17Switch the fillings around
38:18So we have like loads of chocolate
38:19And just you know
38:20Just a little bit of coffee
38:21But in terms of texture
38:22Smooth silky
38:23Great flavour combination as well
38:25I like it this way around
38:29Thank you
38:29It's a little bit messy
38:39But I do like the overall theme
38:41Because you know
38:41You've got three at the back
38:43Three up front
38:44Six aside
38:45Love it
38:45The decoration and the finishing
38:46Could have been a little bit neater
38:48I don't think there's enough
38:49Distinction between the base and the top
38:51Quite similar in size
38:52Okay
38:52The top one is a pistachio buttercream
38:55And the bottom one is mango
38:57And white chocolate pastry cream
38:58In terms of the shoe
38:59It's quite heavy and dense
39:01So it hasn't puffed up enough
39:03But I really love the pistachio filling
39:05It's gorgeous
39:05The shoe is on the base
39:07But your fillings they work really well
39:08Mango is really smooth
39:09But that pistachio has like a bite to it
39:11So it adds another texture
39:12Really good idea
39:13Just a few tweaks here and there
39:14It's very neat
39:24I love the decoration
39:26Really good looking shoe
39:28You've brought your story to life
39:29From the characters that you told me about
39:31I know which one is which
39:32Yeah
39:33Ooh
39:34Wow
39:35Look at that colour
39:36It's a normal shoe pastry
39:38But in the top there's an orange cream
39:41And the bottom there is an ube chantilly
39:43And that's ube
39:44Yes
39:46That's how I like my shoe
39:47It's crispy
39:48I love the crackling on top
39:49Adds an extra crunch
39:50I can't fault you for the shoe
39:52Spot on
39:53I love that ube filling
39:54But I would have liked a different filling
39:57For the top to match how good
39:59The bottom shoe is
40:00But very good
40:08I'm so happy you remade your mixture
40:10For your shoe pastry
40:11Because the bottom ones are nice and puffy
40:13I know that the decoration isn't exactly how you planned
40:16But I'm just guessing that this one is Simon Cowell
40:19Right
40:20Very good
40:21It's like caramel apple
40:23Yeah I made a cinnamon cream instead
40:26Because I didn't have time
40:28The shoe on the bottom are made so well
40:30They're really light really airy
40:31The caramel is wonderful
40:33I just wish that we'd have that top one full of the gorgeous caramel
40:36And it would have eaten so well
40:37I'm just really happy that you still produce six
40:40Things happen
40:40You have to adapt
40:41And you did
40:42Nice one bro
40:43Nice one bro
40:51Is the rock the one with any crackling on top?
40:53Yeah
40:56It's really colourful
40:57Very playful
40:58I like that every single character has something different about it
41:01Some of the shoe does look a little bit flat
41:03The bottom one still looks quite dense inside
41:06The top shoes are caramel and the bottom shoes are a vanilla creme pat
41:12Now can you see it's just like slightly under baked
41:14I think it just needed longer in the oven to dry out the middle
41:16So you could put more filling in
41:18If there was just more of it, it would have really been delicious
41:21I love the caramel
41:23Slightly salty as well
41:24But I would have folded the salted caramel into the creme pat
41:27Imagine a salted caramel creme pat
41:29Sounds good, isn't it?
41:30Yeah, yeah
41:32But really good effort
41:33Nice one
41:33Thank you
41:34Well done Isla
41:39I'm definitely not in the running for Starbaker
41:42But I feel like I'm somewhere just like close to danger
41:46But not endangered, you know what I mean?
41:49It was like the showstopper
41:50It was a whole roller coaster
41:51When I look at how the other bakers performed
41:54I have a chance of getting through
41:57I feel a lot better than I thought
41:59It was a bit messy
42:00So I just hope I've done enough to get through
42:04I think I've got a really slim chance of being Starbaker today
42:08Maybe, just maybe
42:10Going into Finance Week with a Starbaker
42:12Everybody will be like, ooh
42:15So I'm very, I really want Starbaker
42:26The judges have decided who is today's Starbaker
42:29Who will be going through to finals week
42:31And who will be going home
42:36Today's Starbaker is
42:42Penelope
42:44Well done
42:48As you know, we can only take four of you through to finals week
42:51The person leaving us is
42:57It's Ethan, I'm afraid
42:59You've been so much fun in the tent
43:01We've loved having you
43:03So good
43:04You did a great job
43:05Being on Julia Berkhoff has been incredible
43:08Been very nice to meet the bakers
43:11They'd rather me in Harry Hill
43:14I remember this experience forever
43:19You did really well
43:21You as a group are so talented
43:24So it's been really hard
43:25When it came to that shoe
43:26I think he just let himself down
43:28Ah, it's just sad isn't it
43:29Because it's like one more challenge before finals week
43:32But you know what
43:32Ethan, you can be proud
43:34You've done so well
43:36Give it up for Penelope
43:37Well done Penelope
