- There are only four bakers left vying for a place in the much sought-after final of the Great British Bake off. The weight of the occasion is getting to the most unflappable of the bakers as they frantically work against the clock to deliver petits fours to Paul and Mary's exacting standards. The hardest technical bake ever seen on Bake Off finds two of the bakers left wanting as their fraisier cakes collapse. It's possible to hear a pin drop in the kitchen as the bakers pull out the stops for their showstopping choux gateaus. Paul and Mary think they have seen it all until they are presented with a tribute to the Tour de France...—Anonymous
- The four semi-finalists are proverbially heading across the channel in three challenges centered on patisserie, meaning that what they produce will have to be as enticing to the eye as to the taste buds as the look is what window shoppers would first notice in a Parisian patisserie display. They acknowledge that the atmosphere in the tent is more tense as they are one step away from the finals or elimination just before the finals. They each have to make twelve each of any three type of petit fours in the signature challenge. Mary and Paul will be looking for what are true petit fours in their intent of being light and one-bite, and not heavy, multi-bite desserts. They will be making a fraisier apiece for the technical challenge, which, as the name implies, includes fresh strawberries as both a flavoring and decorative element. And a choux pastry gâteau is what is requested as the penultimate showstopper challenge. Sue learns about the history of the most famous of choux cakes, and the one that three of the four finalists have decided to make: the Gâteau Saint Honoré.—Huggo
