The Great British Bake Off: Season 5 Episode 9

Semi-final - Patisserie

It’s Patisserie Week, and the remaining four bakers will need to demonstrate that they have skills worthy enough to see them through to this year’s final. The bakers are challenged to make a signature baklava – two types of any flavour they like, before the technical challenge demands they knock up a German Schichttorte, a cake cooked in stages under the grill to create 20 layers of different coloured sponge. Finally, the showstopper sees the semi-finalists baking non-stop to create two entremets in which they should demonstrate as many personal skills and techniques as they can.
