Sezon 8

Ellie Taylor and Liam Charles welcome a fresh batch of professional pastry chefs to compete for the title. Judges Cherish Finden and Benoit Blin set the tasks, beginning with a secret challenge, which sees them working without a recipe to create one of Cherish's own creations, the Apple Tin. Then they serve up a food-and-drink-inspired showpiece with a hidden Victoria sandwich elevated to new heights, far from its humble beginnings

The teams channel all their patisserie experience into creating 24 identical fruit tarts and 24 of the French dessert petit Antoine. They then have five hours to create a showpiece inspired by a Japanese garden, adorned with roll cakes full of flavour.
