Episode 9: Patisserie Week

Summary

Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding present as the semi-finalists take on patisserie week, serving up cream horns and tackling a recipe for a sugar glass dome in the technical round. In the showstopper, they produce a macaron sculpture that depicts something meaningful to them, before judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood decide who will be going through to the final

Review

Jane Rackham

“You are so childish!” sighs Prue Leith as Noel Fielding announces the first challenge of patisserie week. The four semi-finalists are making cream horns so, of course, he can’t resist an innuendo or two.

Paul Hollywood is being especially cruel pointing out that one baker has been hanging on by their fingernails for several weeks, roaring with laughter at another’s sloppy attempt at the difficult technical challenge while reducing one baker to near tears with his brutal comments about a macaron showstopper. By the end, it’s so close between three of the bakers that Prue suggests they ask someone to volunteer to go home.
