Episode 4: Back to School Week

Summary

The bakers return to school, starting off with the classic canteen favourite, flapjacks, before being tested with a fondly remembered school cake technical, with a catch. For their final exam, they have to produce a spectacular school fete showstopper, full of nostalgic treats. Mr Hollywood and Ms Leith judge their efforts, before deciding which of the students to expel

Review

Jane Rackham

This week’s “back to school” theme gives everyone the chance to make dreadful puns about doing their homework, getting expelled, being teacher’s pet and so on. You may want to let your mind play truant for those (sorry, it’s infectious) and concentrate instead on the bakers’ unusual flapjacks, school cakes (they must make their own decorative sprinkles) and traditional school fête showstoppers (including a coconut shy, a relay race and a computer fair).

This batch seem especially jolly and relaxed whatever challenges they’re set, but while a few might not graduate, there are a couple who are obviously top students.
