The technical challenge was set by Prue where the bakers were tasked to make stroopwafels. Only one test waffle was allowed, and the challenge proved to be a very difficult one for the bakers with none of them producing an adequate caramel. For the final showstopper challenge, the bakers were required to make a caramel cake consisting of at least three layers of sponge. They were required to incorporate spun sugar into their decorations.

The technical challenge was set by Paul, which was 6 molten chocolate puddings with a peanut butter filling. Each baker was called one at a time so their puddings could be ready at different times for Paul and Prue to judge ( starting with Julia, followed by Sophie, Liam, Steven, Yan, Kate, James and finally Stacey ). For the showstopper challenge, the bakers were asked to bake an ornamental trifle terrine with three elements -- a baked element, a set custard or mousse, and a jelly.

This week 's Italian technical challenge was set by Prue, where the bakers were tasked to make the well - known, yet tricky, pizza margherita with a thin crispy base. For the showstopper challenge, the bakers were required to make a very technically challenging and fiddly Italian bake : 24 sfogliatelle with two types of fillings in 4 ⁄ hours.

In the technical challenge, set by Paul, the bakers were tasked to make a traditional Cumberland rum nicky : a large tart consisting of a sweet shortcrust pastry and a rum - soaked fruity filling covered with a lattice top, and served with a smooth rum butter. For the historic showstopper, the bakers were required to make a Victorian Savoy cake.

The penultimate technical challenge was set by Prue, where the bakers were tasked with a very difficult job of making 9 Les Misérables slices. For the showstopper challenge before the final, the bakers were asked to make a meringue centrepiece, containing at least two different types of meringue and a dessert element, in 4 hours and 45 minutes.

There must be three different types of loaves : four need to be intricately shaped ( e.g. plaited ), four need to be flavoured, and four need to be made from an alternative grain such as spelt or buckwheat. Prue set the final technical challenge and asked the bakers to make 10 ginger biscuits, half of them to be oval and half of them to be square. They all need to have a great snap and be intricately iced with two complicated patterns. For the ultimate showstopper challenge, the bakers were tasked to make one large entremet. The entremet must have a minimum of five elements, one of which must be a sponge, and covered with a glaze or ganache.
