Firstly, in the signature, they had two hours to bake 36 savoury biscuits. In the technical challenge, they had one and a quarter hours with Mary Berry 's recipe for florentines, which the bakers found difficult. In the final challenge, the bakers had four hours to make some kind of 3D biscuit scene. Though Berry stressed that everything must be home - made, Enwezor chose to bring some fondant he admitted to not baking himself, contributing to his dismissal. The event was discussed on various websites and was deemed disrespectful.

Episode 3 : bread In bread week, the bakers firstly had to make twelve rye bread rolls in three and a half hours. In the technical challenge, they were given three hours to make four ciabatta loaves using Paul 's recipe, with the advice from Paul that they should be patient. In the showstopper, the bakers were required to make a bread centrepiece in four hours. The centrepiece should be a filled - loaf that is spectacular and tasty, and would be judged on its appearance, design and crust, and should be well - baked on the inside.

The bakers may choose to make either a fondant or a sponge which creates its own sauce at the bottom. In the technical, they had to bake Mary 's own tiramisu cake recipe in two and a half hours. In the showstopper, they had four and a half hours to make baked Alaskas. Many of the bakers struggled to make baked Alaskas, as it was the hottest day of the year so far, and two of five refrigerators had broken, resulting in a struggle among the contestants for enough freezer space. Diana took Iain 's ice cream and sponge cake assembly out of the freezer to make room for hers, mistakenly leaving it out on a counter in the hot tent. When Iain found it, the ice cream had melted and, frustrated, he threw the sponge cake and melted ice cream in the dustbin. ( It was later claimed by producers that the dessert was only out for one minute. ) Paul and Mary chastised him for this decision, explaining that they would rather have judged sample pieces of each baked Alaska component or even a melted final product than nothing at all. Upon Iain 's elimination, it was explained that his decision to present Paul and Mary with nothing to judge in the showstopper was directly responsible for his elimination. Viewers of the show objected fiercely to the perceived injustice on Twitter, attacking Diana. Iain spoke out against these online attacks, but Diana did not return to the show, claiming that the editing had distorted the truth, `` stitching ( her ) up, '' and suffering an injury that disabled her sense of taste and smell.

For signature challenge, the bakers were set the task of a family - sized custard tart in two and half hour. The tart should have a crispy base and silky custard. The technical challenge is set using one of Paul 's recipes, and the bakers were required to make six mini pear pies, which are poached pears surrounded by rough puff pastry, to be completed in two hours. In the showstopper, the bakers were tasked with making tiered pies in four and half hours. The pies needed to be able to support themselves, and should have at least three tiers and share a common theme.

The bakers were given three hours for the challenge. The technical challenge was set using one of Mary 's recipes for a Swedish Princess cake ( Prinsesstårta ). The recipe is the most complicated yet, requiring 26 separate ingredients with 14 stages, and to be completed in two and a quarter hours. For the showstopper challenge, the bakers were required to make a contemporary version of the Hungarian Dobos torte in five hours. The cake should have at least two tiers, with particular emphasis on caramel sugar work on the cake. No one was eliminated this week as the judges could not agree on the worst - performing baker, stating it was between Richard and Kate. As Diana left the show before the previous week 's contest due to illness, it was possible not to eliminate anyone.

The parcels can be of any type of pastries, but should be uniform in size, well - filled, perfectly cooked and well - sealed to prevent leaks. The technical bake was one that for the first time none of the bakers had heard of, the Breton pastry kouign - amann, using one of Paul 's recipes. The bakers should make twelve identical kouign - amanns in three and a half hours. For the final challenge, the bakers were required to make 24 Éclairs of two different flavours ( 12 of each ) in four hours. The éclairs should be made of choux pastry and éclair - shaped, otherwise the bakers were free to do as they wished to produce a showstopper.

They had two and a half hours for the bake which is challenging as the bakers were required to use enriched dough which takes longer to proof. In the technical, they had two and a half hours to make a povitica, which Chetna had made for her signature loaf. This technical challenge was particularly hard for most of the bakers, many of whose loafs were raw inside and deemed unsafe to eat. Doughnuts were set as the challenge in the final task, and the bakers were required to make eighteen each of two different sorts, to be completed in four hours.

There had to be two different types of baklava, and twenty - four portions in total. For the technical challenge, the bakers had to make a schichttorte, and had two hours to complete it. There had to be twenty layers in their schichttorte, and was one of Paul 's recipes. For the showstopper challenge, the bakers had to make entremets, very small and fine cakes put in a window of a French pâtisserie. They had to make two different types of entremets, twelve of each, and had five hours to complete the challenge.

They had to make two different types of the pastry. In the technical, the judges decided to bring things `` back to basics '' by asking the bakers to bake 12 Victoria Sandwiches, Tartes au citron and Scones. The challenge, however, was that they had only two hours to make this and only three instructions. The final Showstopper was a Pièce montée. The bakers were given five hours to make this, and the judges said it must be in some self - standing structure.

During the final showstopper round contestants were tasked with producing a baked Alaska. Iain 's ice cream was shown as having not set, and in a show of frustration he threw his bake in the bin. The editing of the show suggested that another contestant, Diana Beard, had caused the failure by removing the ice cream from a freezer for her own ice cream, and the perceived `` sabotage '' resulted in a furore on social media networks. More than 800 complaints were lodged with the BBC, and some complained to the communication watchdog Ofcom. Some members of the cast however posted comments in support of Diana, and a BBC spokesman later issued a statement : As shown in the episode, Iain became the fourth baker to leave the tent because he did n't present Paul and Mary with anything to judge in the showstopper challenge and both judges were very clear about the reasoning behind the decision. Due to the extreme temperature in the tent that day, many of the bakers struggled to get their ice cream to set as seen in the episode. Diana removing Iain 's ice cream from the freezer for less than a minute was in no way responsible for Iain 's departure. The claim that it was only left out for a short time however was challenged by Iain Watters, saying that it was left long enough to ruin the dessert. Fellow contestant Jordan Cox criticized the show 's production, claiming the freezers were not very good in quality, and were chosen on aesthetic quality only. Diana Beard left the show before the next episode was filmed due to illness. Beard later gave an interview to BBC Radio Shropshire, saying : `` I 'm disappointed with the way it 's been portrayed. I 've been stitched up, have n't I ? We were 12 amateur bakers, ( there 's ) no prize money involved. Why would I sabotage Iain 's Baked Alaska ? This has made it look like some cutthroat competition. I think someone 's culpable for the editing, really. '' She also said that Iain 's ice cream had been out of the freezer for no more than 40 seconds and that her conscience was intact. Innuendo A number of viewers complained to the BBC feedback show Points of View in the fifth series about the `` constant smutty remarks '' from the presenters Mel and Sue. This series was seen as having more innuendos than previous one ; some reviewers noted the `` extra pinch of saucy spice '' and `` the increasingly filthy - minded hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins '', and a columnist for the Daily Mail argued that the `` smutty '' innuendos made the show no longer fit for family entertainment. Series 3 winner John Whaite, however, argued that innuendo is part of what made the show a success, while Paul Hollywood described the innuendos as banter in the spirit of the Carry On films and is a part of British culture, a view shared by others. Post-show career Richard Burr 's book on baking, BIY : Bake it Yourself, was released on 16 August 2015. Luis Troyano also wrote a book, Bake It Great, released on 20 August 2015. Chetna Makan has written a baking book The Cardamom Trail, released on 21 March 2016, as well as a cookbook Chai, Chaat & Chutney : A Street Food Journey Through India, published on 6 July 2017. Martha Collison has written two baking books, Twist, released on 14 July 2016, and Crave, to be published 13 July 2017 with Harper Collins. She also has a weekly column with Waitrose and is a charity ambassador for Tearfund. Ratings The series started with its highest ratings for its opening episode after its move to BBC One, with over 7 million tuning in according to overnight figures. This is adjusted to 8.5 million for its 7 - day final viewing figure, making this its second most - watched episode after previous year 's final. In the fourth episode, 8.1 million watched the original broadcast, but the `` sabotage '' controversy gained the show a further 2 million viewers on the BBC iPlayer catch - up service, giving the show the biggest ever audience with 10.248 million viewers for the episode. The final of the show gained an overnight viewing figure of 12.29 million, and a consolidated average figure of 13.5 million, the highest viewing figure for a non-sporting event of the year on UK TV, after 2014 FIFA World Cup 's England vs Uruguay match. Series 5 had an average of viewing figure of 10.1 million. Official episode viewing figures are from BARB. Episode no.
