Junior Bake Off - Season 11 - Episode 02
Transcript
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 the bag. Thank you.
00:12Welcome to Junior Bake Off. Oh, it's my bag. What are you doing?
00:21Please taste my fridge. Last time, eight new bakers entered the tent.
00:28It's so crazy to be here. I know. The technical was no picnic. Oh, gosh, this is 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. And she became our first star baker.
00:43Isla, congratulations. Well done. This time, it's biscuit day. Please come out, please come out.
00:49The technical is full of surprises. I don't know how a baseball cap is supposed to look like.
00:53And as the showstopper looks 20 years into the future. I see myself being a business man.
01:00Best you should go on Dragon's Den, not Junior Bake Off.
01:02Who will get to live the dream. Please don't snap. It has just snapped.
01:07And whose future in the tent. I think it might be a little bit burnt. Oh, gosh.
01:11Will come to an end. I'm just going to pretend that never happened.
01:20Oh, guys, I'm so nervous for today. Yeah, like someone's going to be eliminated.
01:24Don't know what the tactical is going to be. Freaking something biscuity.
01:27Oh, you're doing. Look, it's biscuit day now. And I think that I'm quite confident.
01:32Because biscuits are made for decoration. And decoration is made for me.
01:37Oh, I've got yellow. Same. I've got yellow. If I was a biscuit, it's hard to question,
01:43but I would probably be a snickerdoodle. It gives quite a warm feeling.
01:48Can you tie me up, please? You got a banana in your back pocket?
01:52Um, yes. I'm very looking forward to eating all the biscuits.
01:56The technical, I'm nervous. Because it's obviously the technical. It's going to be technical.
02:01I think the judges are going to set it up. Probably some intricate design or intricate shape.
02:05I think they're going to go a bit more all out on us.
02:09Good luck, everyone.
02:14Morning, bakers. It's biscuit day. And your technical challenge has been set by the Duke of Dunking himself,
02:21Master Liam Charles. Liam, do you have any tips for our bakers today?
02:25To hit it out of the ballpark today, keep your head in the game and get the shaping right.
02:30Mmm. Well, it is a technical challenge. It's judged blind, so make like my mum once said to her dentist
02:37and get out of my face.
02:41For 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.
02:50It'll then be filled with surprise royal icing sprinkles and decorated with Liam's beloved Manchester United colours.
02:59And like Manchester United, 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.
03:12Oh. Wow. I'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.
03:24To make Liam's baseball cap pinata biscuits.
03:28To make the biscuits, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
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.
04:14Bit of a cheeky surprise in the middle.
04:16How does that work?
04:17Okay, 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.
04:27Without 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.
04:44Oh, wow.
04:45That's quite fun.
04:49I think that the texture's bang on.
04:52It's really short and crumbly, and I can see a lot of the bakers really enjoying this challenge.
04:56United!
04:56United!
04:57Is that the same as Manchester City?
04:59Don't ever disrespect Manchester United.
05:01That is sacrilege!
05:05Morning, Elroy.
05:07Morning, Harry.
05:07How 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.
05:18True.
05:19On 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.
05:29Oh.
05:29She put a curse on the tent.
05:31Sometimes you can see her up in the raft.
05:33Up in the raft.
05:34Oh.
05:37Add the egg and the red food colouring and freeze-eyed strawberry powder and combine.
05:41Trying to make sure the red's the right colour.
05:43Is it meant to look pink?
05:44It said it was like Manchester United and that's dark red in it.
05:47Oh, I'm not happy we're doing Manchester United, I must say.
05:51How have you been to Sheffield, sir?
05:53I suppose Sheffield Wednesday.
05:54Sheffield Wednesday is terrible.
05:55What?
05:56Well, I'm not really into football and I don't really know about Manchester United.
06:0211-year-old Zacharia prefers to keep his eye on the ball when it comes to mathematics.
06:06So the perfect slice of cake is 45 degrees.
06:11And shares a keen interest in zoology with younger brother, Leif.
06:15Things are going big fly.
06:17It's called the little white fly.
06:19Aww.
06:20What's in a piñata?
06:21Is it presents or...?
06:22I thought it was 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.
06:31No, 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
06:42of 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.
06:53I really want to get it to three millimetres, because I don't want it to be too thick,
06:56and I don't want it to be too thin, too.
06:58The judges are looking for short, crumbly biscuits.
07:01I hate rolling things between parchment paper.
07:05Roll too thick, and they will be underbaked and may lose their shape.
07:09Oh, no.
07:10What 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.
07:23What sport of sports are you into, then?
07:26So, I do windsurfing, surfing, so, like, water sports.
07:29Is that a sport?
07:29Yeah.
07:30It is.
07:31Is it?
07:32Who's the winner?
07:33Living close to the beach in Dorset,
07:35Kitto 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.
07:52Okay, what's next?
07:53Using the round cutter, cut out six rounds of the dough.
07:56Press into six of the dips in the doomed tray.
08:01Is that the doomed tray?
08:03And press into six of the dips in the domed tray.
08:06Domed tray.
08:07This is going to be, like, the cap on top, if you get what I mean.
08:11Right, time to neaten up the edges.
08:15I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
08:17I really want everything to be, like, as perfect as it can be.
08:20At home in Surrey, Miko's family get to enjoy her baking perfection.
08:25Good job, Miko.
08:27And her repertoire of accents, from American...
08:30Hey, do you want to get some fried chicken later?
08:32...to baby.
08:33Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, that's really good.
08:37There we go, it looks nice and neat now.
08:39This is quite annoying. I 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.
08:52And the harder it is to get neat shapes.
08:55The mold's 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 dome tray to the freezer and chill for ten minutes.
09:05Once shaped, it is vital the biscuits are chilled for long enough before being baked.
09:10No, no, no, it's 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, all right.
09:32I want six, OK.
09:34Whilst Cole and Zacharia are still stuck on shaping...
09:37I need three other ones.
09:39..the rest of the bakers move on to their royal icing.
09:43Now I'm going to do the sprinkles.
09:44I've never made sprinkles before, so this kind of terrifies me.
09:48To make the sprinkles, add the strawberry extract to the icing sugar.
09:51Oh.
09:52Then add one teaspoon of water at a time until you achieve a stiff consistency.
09:58Oh, that's lovely. Red and white, are they?
10:01Yeah, Manchester United.
10:02The Manchester United Cos.
10:04Yeah. Do you support my Henny's 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, Deidre, Ruth against two Ruths.
10:20There's Ginger Ruth and there's the one with brown hair.
10:22Yeah. Oh.
10:23Hi, both of you for watching.
10:25I need to put them straight in the freezer.
10:27Cole and Zacharia have finally got their biscuits in to chill,
10:31just 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 baking.
10:49I'll give you a signal, all right?
10:5215 minutes, bakers.
10:53What? No. Okay.
10:56It's so much.
10:57One and the other.
10:59I'm just a bit, like, nervous at the moment,
11:02because she's not really made a lot.
11:03I don't really want to be the one who's getting out on first end.
11:06pipe 15 lines of each colour.
11:08See who's going to win.
11:10Oh, 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 has got...
11:19No, he's not going to overtake it.
11:23Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13.
11:27That's so hard to do.
11:28I've made it, like, a bit too thick.
11:31Back, 15, boom.
11:33I love baseball.
11:34So, let's play.
11:37That's your signal.
11:41I hate this show.
11:4310 minutes, bakers.
11:44You've got 10 minutes left.
11:4710 minutes.
11:48I'm going to get them out now.
11:50I think they're cooked enough.
11:52Yes.
11:52They look okay.
11:53I think, I think they're okay.
11:55No.
11:59I know.
12:00They're very, very mushy.
12:02I'm just going to have to go with them.
12:04I'm just going to put these straight into the freezer.
12:10Not neat, but that'll have to do.
12:12Close it.
12:13Boom.
12:14Right, getting 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.
12:25So, for the triangles, I need to put the L on top of it.
12:28I wonder what the L stands for.
12:31Oh, Liam.
12:32Five minutes, bakers.
12:33Five minutes.
12:35You've got five minutes left.
12:37Okay, I've got to start assembling them now.
12:38They're still a bit warm, but I'm just going to have to do it.
12:40I need to wait for them to cool down.
12:43So, I'm going to take them out of the tin and 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 dome.
13:00It'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.
13:09My sprinkles aren't done.
13:10I'm just going to have to get them in.
13:11My sprinkles aren't ready yet and my bacon's 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.
13:21One minute, bakers.
13:26Oh, for God's sake.
13:28I'm running out of time so badly, but I just need to get these on.
13:33I dropped one and it was 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.
13:43Don't really understand it.
13:47Stick.
13:48I really hope these are nice.
13:51And six.
13:53I'm going to try to all of them.
13:59That's it, bakers.
14:00Time's up.
14:04Please bring your baseball cap pinata biscuits forward and place them
14:07behind the photographs of yourselves on the front tables.
14:11I didn't do swinkles.
14:12Well, there are swinkles, but they're not.
14:14Swinkles.
14:15Miko's are looking excellent.
14:16Thank you so much.
14:17Do you have sprinkles?
14:18I don't even have sprinkles on mine.
14:20They've not got sprinkles in them.
14:21No.
14:26The bakers' baseball cap pinata biscuits will now face the judges.
14:31Nice to see them.
14:33It's Raven-Liam.
14:35So we were looking for six pinata biscuits, flavoured with strawberry, sprinkles in the middle.
14:42And they have no idea whose biscuits are whose.
14:46Okay, first one.
14:48We needed six.
14:50There's only two here.
14:51They look good, though, in terms of the shaping.
14:56When 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.
15:06Not two.
15:09We 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.
15:23The cookie tastes really good, but it's underbaked.
15:27Okay, next one.
15:29We've got, like, two and a half.
15:31The funnel work is pretty good.
15:33Oh, no.
15:34Where's the sprinkles at?
15:36Hello?
15:38There's none in here.
15:40Flavour of the cookie is really good, but we needed six, and there's also been no sprinkles made for this
15:45one.
15:47We have six.
15:48Pretty uniform as well.
15:50Do you want to do one?
15:51Go on.
15:55That was a little bit.
15:58A chunk of a sprinkle.
15:59Your baseball caps are really neat.
16:01The flavour of your cookie is really good.
16:03The fondant does look quite thick, and it's not properly stuck on.
16:07Some are neater than others.
16:14The base of the cookie is baked to perfection.
16:17The dome is slightly thick.
16:20You have the domes, you have the bases, but there's just no decoration.
16:24Sprinkles.
16:26I 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, like, a nice snap.
16:38These are very neat, and it's nice to see uniform baseball caps.
16:42The biscuits as well look really thin when you lift them up.
16:45I do really like the extra detail you've added by using the pen, so well done.
16:55Well baked, the thickness of your base and your dome is really good.
16:59There's a very good attempt at sprinkles inside too, and I think overall, very neat, very good.
17:04Last one.
17:07It sounds like a really generous amount of sprinkles in here, and I like the clean fondant work on top.
17:11My only thing is, I think they've been assembled backwards.
17:19The thickness of your base and your dome is spot on.
17:21It's just a shame because they're pretty overbaked.
17:24I don't know, I kind of disagree.
17:26They are very slightly over on the edges, but I think these are my favourite ones to eat.
17:31The judges will now rank the biscuits, deciding who will strike out and who has hit a home run.
17:38In eighth place, we have...
17:41This one, Zacharia.
17:44Really good attempt, but we were missing some of the other baseball caps and the sprinkles.
17:49In seventh place, we have...
17:52This one, Cole. Great colour, but we needed six.
17:57Elroy is sixth, Myla fifth, Isla is fourth, and Niamh is third, leaving Miko and Kitto battling for first place.
18:06In second place, we have...
18:12This one, Kitto. I really liked eating these biscuits,
18:16but Liam thought they were just a touch overbaked.
18:19Which means, in first place, this one, Miko.
18:26The biscuit was perfect, she had the sprinkles and the decoration was class.
18:30And I can wear it on a night out.
18:33Well done.
18:34Well 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.
18:42Of course.
18:43It went amazing, so much better than yesterday.
18:48Oh, yesterday I came fifth and now I'm first.
18:51I think it was a battle between me and Miko to get first.
18:55Unfortunately, she got it, but she was very deserving of it.
18:57I'm a little bit disappointed, but I've practised my showstopper quite a bit,
19:02so I'm pretty sure that I won't leave today.
19:09The 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.
19:20Welcome back, bakers.
19:21For your showstopper challenge, Rav and Liam would like you to bake and dream big
19:25by 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,
19:34being 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.
19:54On your marks, get set, bake!
19:59I 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.
20:19Well, you think this is friendship?
20:21It's very much a working relationship.
20:24In 20 years, I will bake...
20:2832.
20:3032.
20:31Today, we're asking the bakers to create a cookie that will show us where they see themselves in 20 years'
20:37time.
20:38I think I'll still be baking in 20 years, definitely.
20:40The possibilities are endless.
20:42Peanut butter cookie, red velvet cookie.
20:45It could have, like, a molten middle.
20:48Cookies are my favourite thing in the whole world. I love them.
20:51Texture-wise, the middle should be very slightly chewy and the edges should be nice and crisp.
20:56I'm trying to be as quick as I can making this cookie, though, so I can spend more time decorating.
21:00The decoration is very important because we should be able to tell where they see themselves in 20 years' time.
21:07It's mainly just peanut butter, mostly because I think in 20 years' time, I'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. So, tell us about your giant cookie.
21:25So, I'm doing a giant carrot cake cookie.
21:29A carrot cake cookie?
21:31Yes.
21:31Is it based on what do you want to be in 20 years?
21:34I want to have my own kitchen garden and 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.
21:43What did you do at the carrot-themed birthday?
21:46Wore my carrot costume.
21:48Did you?
21:48Yeah.
21:49Did you eat only carrot-based treats?
21:51Yes.
21:52Kitto's giant carrot will be flavoured with orange and cinnamon and landscaped with walnut chocolate soil,
21:58cream cheese frosting and fondant vegetables.
22:02What about the texture of this cookie?
22:04My only worry is that it won't spread out.
22:08Then 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.
22:16Hopefully, hopefully.
22:18Whilst Kitto dreams of orange vegetables, Miko dreams of the silver screen.
22:24I would love to be an actress in a movie.
22:28Oh, an actor?
22:29Yeah.
22:29Well, you know I'm an actor, so maybe I can help you.
22:31Yeah, maybe you could help me.
22:32Yeah.
22:33OK, let me run through a few of my subtle changes in emotion that I use when I'm acting.
22:38Go ahead.
22:39OK, so what's this one?
22:43Are you confused?
22:45No, 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 with a hidden layer of salted caramel.
23:01So how does it work? You put a layer of dough, then you spread the caramel,
23:05then you put another layer on top.
23:07Yeah.
23:07And then you bake it with the filling in there.
23:10Wow.
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, then it would all leak out
23:17and it would be a mess, so 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.
23:26I want to be in romance movies.
23:28Right, so what is it about acting that you like?
23:31I just like when, like, just like, I don't really know, but I just love acting.
23:37I just love, like, just being there with all the cameras on you and you're just acting,
23:41you can just, like, act.
23:43Yeah, so you're acting now?
23:45Now.
23:46Come on, Georgie.
23:48Wait.
23:48When she's not honing her stage skills.
23:51Look at the camera, look at the camera.
23:53Go on, then.
23:54Bundle of energy Myla loves to let off some steam with her dad in the local boxing gym.
23:59Big one.
24:02Good job I've got a helmet on.
24:04A giant cookie will be decorated with showbiz fondant cutouts
24:07and favoured with white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
24:12Andrew, confident with the flavour, the white chocolate, the macadamia nut?
24:15Yeah, yeah, yeah. White chocolate, when I've tried it before, it's been really nice.
24:17It was really gooey inside, then outside it's just crisp and holding its shape.
24:21You want to keep the texture in the middle.
24:23Yeah. Nice.
24:24And you can't be nervous on stage.
24:25No.
24:26You have to breathe, you've got to perform.
24:28Yeah, I've got to perform.
24:28I've got to bring it to you in confidence.
24:31Yeah.
24:33Okay, poppies-y time.
24:36Most 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,
24:53because 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.
25:09What about the food?
25:11Yeah.
25:11Oh, I like the food as well.
25:13Yeah.
25:13What is the food in Japan?
25:16Fish maybe, isn't it?
25:17Isn't it?
25:17Yeah, they do eat a lot of fish.
25:19Yes.
25:20It's healthy.
25:20But no chips.
25:22I don't think so.
25:23Seems a bit of a shame.
25:25Never experienced the joy of chips.
25:27No, the joy of chips.
25:29There's a book.
25:31Another baker matching flavours with the dream trip abroad is Isla.
25:42Today I'm doing a lemon and almond cookie because I'm doing the Eiffel Tower and lemon
25:46and almond are typically Parisian flavours.
25:50I want to live in Paris when I'm older.
25:53Isla's white chocolate lemon and almond Eiffel Tower will be decorated with piped
25:58icing and fondant patisserie.
26:01I've been learning French from that app.
26:04Oh, yeah.
26:04I do know the app.
26:05Yeah.
26:06Je m'appelle Harry.
26:07Da-ding.
26:08Yeah.
26:10Yeah.
26:10Comment allez-vous.
26:11Da-ding.
26:12I don't know why you always have to do da-ding after.
26:14Yeah.
26:15It's a French thing, I think.
26:16I think it is.
26:17Yeah.
26:17So now I'm just rolling out the cookie dough.
26:21The bakers need to shape their dough to fit their future visions.
26:25So 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 a carrot.
26:35I know it doesn't really look like it.
26:36You say so.
26:37I want to have my own kitchen garden.
26:39I 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.
27:05Yeah, I'm just going to roll it out a little bit more.
27:08Just 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 so that it doesn't leak everywhere and I can
27:17put the dough on top.
27:18It's worked in practice, so just hopefully it'll work now.
27:23Okay, so then I have to bake this for 30 minutes, because I like a gooey middle.
27:27In goes.
27:28Brilliant.
27:29All right.
27:30Cross fingers.
27:3320 years is a long time, so it's made me think about my future.
27:36Hopefully some other work will come in.
27:38Oh, oh, 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.
27:49In a bowl of custard, yes.
27:51And Penny Lancaster, Rod Stewart's wife, to try and arrest us.
27:55Absolutely not.
27:57One hour, Baker.
27:58You're halfway through.
28:00Right.
28:01Decoration time.
28:03The baker's decorations need to clearly represent them in 20 years time.
28:08I'm just rolling out the fondant.
28:10So 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 do you see yourself?
28:19On a stage.
28:21Oh.
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.
28:30Probably the older bands, Oasis, some of the Britpop bands.
28:35Did you go to the Oasis concert?
28:37No, I didn't, no.
28:38Oh, why not?
28:39Well, it just seemed quite expensive, didn't it?
28:42That dynamic pricing.
28:45Surely you could afford that.
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.
28:57Oh, no.
29:00How has that gone in?
29:02Performing on a chocolate chip and vanilla cookie stage
29:05in front of an audience of hundreds and thousands,
29:08Cole's fondant band will be missing one key member.
29:12And who will be the front man in the band?
29:15I'm not sure yet.
29:16Well, looking for a charismatic front man.
29:19Yeah, we've got to hold a tune.
29:20We've got Harry Hill singing.
29:2120 years time, look at me.
29:24I'm just going to keep checking on that.
29:27It's looking good. It'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.
29:38It is 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 sure 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,
29:55then that's usually when I take it out.
29:57I don't know, it's kind of just a sight thing, really.
30:07I think it might be a little bit burnt.
30:11Do you reckon I've got all the ingredients to remake a whole cookie?
30:14What? How long does it take to cook it?
30:1718 minutes.
30:18Have you tried it?
30:19It's burnt.
30:19I think it's burnt.
30:23No, I've not.
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,
30:31then I'm risking it for it, risk it.
30:34And if I serve this, I might be going home tonight.
30:36And I don't want to do that, so I'm really doing the whole thing.
30:47Yeah, that's done.
30:49Most of the baker's giant cookies are out of the oven.
30:53It's just gooey inside and then crisp on the outside.
30:55That's just perfect for me.
30:57Hope 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
31:04and then I can stop decorating.
31:05But Cole is playing catch-up.
31:07I'm going to just completely redo it.
31:10Cream in both butters and sugars, second time.
31:13So I've got to move quick and I've got to move correctly
31:16because I've not got a lot of time to waste.
31:19You can do it.
31:2220 years, that's a long time.
31:23Made me think about my future.
31:25Hopefully some other work of...
31:26Oh, that'll be my agent.
31:29Hello? Yes?
31:30What, eight out of ten cats did count down?
31:32What, you mean the comedy panel show on Channel 4,
31:34hosted by Jimmy Carr?
31:36No, a new show, right?
31:38Yes, where I'll be teaching eight cats how to count from one to ten.
31:42Doesn't even make sense.
31:4530 minutes, bakers.
31:47You've got 30 minutes left.
31:49I'm just cutting it out.
31:51This is the most crucial part for me because I don't want it to break.
31:54I'm making the vegetables for my garden.
31:58Making icing sugar.
32:00It'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
32:11with his showstopper design.
32:13Tell me, where do you see yourself in 20 years' time?
32:16I see myself being a businessman.
32:19Pastry 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.
32:30What's that? And your turnover.
32:32Come on, please.
32:34Stop it.
32:36Mummy.
32:37Thank you so much.
32:39With ambitions to follow in his parents' entrepreneurial footsteps,
32:44Elroy also sets high standards with his hobbies,
32:47such 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
32:57and decorated with piped illustrations of his financial future.
33:02With the chocolate, I'm going to melt it and then pipe finance.
33:06OK.
33:06Finance!
33:07You could have done a big calculator.
33:09Yeah.
33:10I could have.
33:10Or, like, the stock market.
33:11I should have done that.
33:12Because without the word finance, we wouldn't know your cookies inspired by...
33:17Yeah.
33:17..you wanted to be a businessman in 20 years' time.
33:20Yeah.
33:22Tried a bit and it tastes better than the last one as well,
33:24so I'm actually quite glad I did it again.
33:26..as Cole's cookie hits the oven...
33:28Put it in for 16 minutes this time, because I did 19 on the last one.
33:32..everyone else's future self giant cookies are coming to life.
33:37It's got my cherry blossom tree.
33:38I'm going to draw a little Mount Fuji.
33:41Oh, a electric guitar?
33:44Um, close.
33:45Um, corkscrew? No, a, um...
33:49No.
33:49One more guess.
33:50A cheese wedge?
33:52I think that's good.
33:55And Zachariah is keeping his career options firmly open.
33:58The thing is, in 20 years' time, I still don't really know what I want to be.
34:02I want to be a lot of things, so why don't I just do all of them?
34:08Zachariah will top a peanut butter cookie with fondant symbols of his ambitions to make a difference
34:14in the world, become 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.
34:23So, you're what, a detective?
34:24Yeah.
34:25OK.
34:26Uh...
34:27What sort of thing?
34:28Murder mysteries?
34:29Maybe not murder.
34:30No, minor crimes.
34:32Theft of a lawnmower, for instance.
34:33Yeah.
34:34Yeah.
34:35Yeah.
34:35Where's it gone?
34:37What if you're just in the garage the whole time?
34:39Yeah, you heard about that, that insurance claim.
34:4520 years.
34:46I wonder what the future holds for me.
34:47Oh, that'll be my agent.
34:49Hello?
34:49Yes?
34:50Something's come in, right?
34:52Celebrity colonoscopy live.
34:54How does that work?
34:56Yeah, this is 12 and...
34:59That's disgusting!
35:01When do they need to know?
35:0415 minutes, bakers.
35:05You've got 15 minutes left.
35:11I'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.
35:23I'm going to use a knife instead of the chocolate.
35:25It doesn't look thick enough.
35:26I'll become a bit too relaxed again.
35:28It'll be fine.
35:31I think that's perfect.
35:33I'm just waiting for it to cool down so I can chuck the plundin on it.
35:36But I don't know how long is left.
35:39Five minutes, bakers.
35:40Five minutes.
35:40You've got five minutes left.
35:43Hurry 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.
35:51It's not going to be us neither.
35:52As long as I get some sort of decoration.
35:56I might make a marzipan bunny.
36:01All my hundreds of thousands of fun as well.
36:04I've got a lot of croissants, little macarons.
36:06I'm hoping that the flavours are good.
36:11Should I put it here?
36:14Moment of truth.
36:15Please, please, don't snap.
36:17Oh, my God.
36:18It has just snapped.
36:19Okay.
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.
36:31Okay, we're fine.
36:32We're good.
36:33Oh, 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's wonky?
36:44Time's up.
36:46That's all I can do.
36:48Oh, I've actually finished it.
36:50Step away from your bakes.
36:52Yours looks absolutely incredible.
36:55You should be so proud.
36:57This is really good, yeah?
36:58I 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.
37:05Oh, that's really annoying for you.
37:07At least I've got some.
37:10That doesn't look bad.
37:16The 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.
37:42Well, from looking at it, it's really beautiful.
37:44It's so neat and I love the fondant work.
37:47Really good job.
37:49Ooh.
37:50So this is a white chocolate and macadamia cookie.
37:53The 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
37:59edge.
38:02Flavour-wise, top tier.
38:04I love the way that you've used those massive, like, chunky macadamias with the really generous chocolate chips.
38:15My inspiration was I wanted to live in Paris in 20 years' time.
38:19This is super impressive.
38:21It's like a painting.
38:22The piping, the fondant work.
38:25Wow.
38:26To tie into the Parisian flavours, I did a lemon and almond cookie with white chocolate chunks.
38:31The almond extract is just a little bit too strong.
38:35Slightly overpowers everything.
38:41So in 20 years, I see myself on a holiday in Japan.
38:44I think it's really smart and it's really inventive.
38:48My giant cookie is matcha flavoured with white 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.
39:03Niamh, I think this is bang on.
39:11I do like some of your fondant work.
39:13You can tell what they are.
39:14It's just a biscuit because it's broke around here.
39:17But it does look really delicious and appetising.
39:21So it's a peanut butter cookie.
39:24Just be careful how you roll your dough because this part of your cookie is slightly overbaked.
39:29And this part of your cookie is perfectly baked.
39:31You've managed to achieve such a fantastic texture in there.
39:34There's a bit more decoration next time.
39:43I 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.
39:53Are you happy with your cookie?
39:55Yeah, I like it. I think it's perfect in my opinion.
39:58Perfect?
39:59In my opinion.
40:01So 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.
40:14It's almost too sweet. So perfect? I don't know.
40:18Pretty good?
40:20Yeah.
40:28My giant cookie is a snickerdoodle.
40:30And 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,
40:38we wouldn't know what your inspiration is.
40:39So in these two hours, you have to do more, okay?
40:42Okay.
40:43So snickerdoodle is like spices and...
40:45Yeah, it's got a bit of a warm feeling.
40:50The spices are great. They're not overpowering.
40:53The cookie itself, though, for me, it's just a little bit too thick.
40:56I just think perhaps you could have complemented it with something to cut through it.
41:00Maybe even like a jam on top.
41:02Thank you. Thanks.
41:10For 20 years' time, I really want to be an actor.
41:12The cookie is lemon poppy seed and it's stuffed with caramel.
41:16I think it looks great. You've brought the story alive.
41:20If you've nailed that middle of the caramel, I'm going to be very impressed.
41:25There we are.
41:26It's there, everyone.
41:28It's there.
41:28There we are.
41:29Oh, yeah, beautiful.
41:33Normally, I'm not a fan of poppy seeds and lemon, but I feel like those two flavours,
41:37and then you have that salted caramel in the middle, delicious.
41:40You've shown off some pretty major skills today. Thank you.
41:53You're so good at decoration. The fondant work is class. I love the garden in the middle.
41:59You've really blown me away with this.
42:08That is pretty incredible. The spices are well-balanced. Taste the walnuts, the carrot.
42:14I think it's like one of my favourite biscuits we've ever had in a tent.
42:19You've nailed the texture. I love that you've tied it in with that cream cheese frosting on top.
42:24Your obsession with carrots has paid off, hasn't it?
42:29You did amazing.
42:31That was just mind-blowing. Oh, I'm so happy.
42:35I definitely think I'm in danger of going home. I could have done a bit more in my decoration,
42:39and the only thing I can do is improve. So, yeah.
42:43They thought that my shortstop was a bit plain. Overall, it was much better than I expected.
42:49I am obviously aiming for Starbaker, but I think my biggest competition is Kitto.
42:55The judges have decided who will be Starbaker,
42:58and who will be the first to leave the tent.
43:04Well done, bakers.
43:06Well done, bakers. That was Biscuit Day, and our star baker is...
43:14Kitto. Congratulations.
43:46Well done, bakers. Very well done.
43:48You definitely continue baking. And you've made good friends.
43:51Yes.
43:52It was really difficult sending Elroy home. He's a fantastic baker, but his cookie,
43:56unfortunately, just didn't hit the brief. But the standard in the tent is incredibly high.
44:02Well done to Kitto. Thank you. Congratulations.
44:04It's all you've got, mate.
44:06Starbaker!
44:09I feel like I could fly and just... I have so much energy, I could just...
44:13Rawr!
44:14Carrot boy.
44:15Carrot boy.
44:17Kitto had a great day. He nailed the brief. Carrot 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 lifter.
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.
44:40Dave Grohl looking pretty fire.
44:42Hey, homies.
44:43But whose bread will rise...
44:44She's massive.
44:45...to the top.
44:46You've surprised me with this one.
44:47It's so nice.
44:49And who...
44:50...will fall flat?
45:15I'm going to show you with a beard.
