Deep dives
Gatto Sansonora
Bakers compete to make Gatto Sansonora, a patisserie with layers of puff pastry, shoe buns, caramel, and silkie cream. David's has bold flavors but needed smaller nuts. Rosie's batch failed because the crème pat did not set. Alice impresses with a shiny dome and delicious flavors, but the piping is inconsistent.
Technical Challenge: Shoe Buns
In the technical round, bakers take on the challenging shoe buns that require full puff pastry and delicate shoe buns. David struggles with the pastry consistency as Rosie's shoe buns fail to puff up. Steph and Alice show more promising results halfway through the challenge, focusing on precision and texture.
Judging and Reflections
The judges critique the Gatto Sansonora creations, appreciating the flavors and constructions. David reminisces about a nostalgic animated series 'The Shoe People' while working on the shoe buns. As the challenge progresses, tension rises as bakers strive to perfect their pastry and shoe bun creations.
Baking Challenge Drama
Contestants face challenges with puff pastry and caramel in a high-stakes baking competition. Rosie struggles with burst butter in her pastry, while David competes carefully. The pressure mounts as time ticks away, and the bakers must present their creations.
Showstopper Task: Sugar Glass Display
In the semifinal showstopper challenge, bakers are tasked with creating a transparent sugar glass display case reflecting a precious theme. Steph impresses with her intricate opera cake, while David's terrarium cake showcases layers but lacks finesse. Alice's ocean-themed cake shines with fresh raspberries, exemplary but flawed moose. The episode culminates in Rosie's elimination, leaving Alice, Steph, and David to vie for the final.
