- The first episode is all about cake, and the pressure is on from the very first challenge. The bakers tackle an upside-down cake for their signature bake. The feared technical challenge sees the bakers tackle Paul's recipe for rum babas, a hybrid of cake and enriched dough. It is an unusual and and unfamiliar recipe that baffles some of the bakers. And to keep hold of their place in the bake off tent, the bakers attempt to produce a showstopping cake that reveals a hidden design when it is sliced into. Who will impress the judges and become star baker and who will be the first to leave The Great British Bake Off?—Anonymous
- A new set of twelve contestants is introduced to life in the tent in first having to deal with baking cakes, with Mary and Paul expecting even more than in previous years with advances in baking, and as such making the season's challenges considerably harder. For their first challenge, the bakers are asked for the signature to put their own personal spin on the classic upside down cake. While pineapple is the most well known, Mary and Paul will see what range of fruits the bakers will use, let alone if anyone ventures to a non-fruit cake or a non-standard sponge. The bakers are transported back to the 1970s for the technical challenge in being asked to make the retro and unusual in being yeast raised classic rum babas. And the last challenge these twelve will face on their initial weekend, the showstopper, is for each to make a hidden design cake, namely one that will show a design hidden within when sliced.—Huggo
