Ep 7. Dessert Week

The Great British Bake Off returns for its seventh season with another exciting episode titled Dessert Week. The pressure is on as the bakers are tasked with creating desserts that are both visually stunning and delicious. Contestants must produce three different sweet treats, each with their own unique challenges.

The first challenge is to create a signature trifle. The judges are looking for inventive flavor combinations, perfectly set jelly, and homemade custard. The bakers must also ensure a perfect sponge layer and avoid any dreaded soggy bottoms. As the bakers anxiously begin to prepare their trifles, the judges are on hand to offer advice and critique.

The technical challenge sees the bakers tackle a tricky technical challenge set by the judges. This time, they must create a marjolaine—a layered meringue dessert. The judges have given minimal instructions and measurements, making this challenge a real test of the bakers' technical skills and creativity. The bakers must work quickly and efficiently to make their marjolaines, but the challenge proves to be too difficult for some.

Finally, the showstopper challenge sees the bakers tasked with creating a spectacular showstopper centerpiece. The judges are looking for a truly impressive dessert that showcases the bakers' skills and creativity. The bakers must create a dessert that not only looks amazing but tastes fantastic too.

As the bakers work furiously to impress the judges, there are moments of triumph and disaster as contestants rise to the occasion and others are let down by their own expectations.

The tension in the tent is palpable as the contestants are pushed to their limits, but as always, the judges have high expectations and will only accept the very best. As the bakers present their delectable desserts to the judges, there is a mixture of excitement and trepidation as they wait for that all-important verdict.

Dessert Week is an episode that will have viewers on the edge of their seats as they see whether the contestants can rise to the challenges set before them. With stunning desserts, technical challenges and showstoppers, this episode of The Great British Bake Off is not to be missed.
