Some are concerned about it being pie week as the category is so diverse, and they always have to be cognizant of having a flaky crust which can be compromised by a filling with too much liquid. For the signature challenge, the bakers will have to create a pastry pie face in two and half hours. The options are endless, the only criterion beyond it being a pie being the need for an elaborately designed face on the surface. For the technical challenge, they will have two and a quarter hours to make a pithivier. The issues with this French dessert is making the puff pastry, having perfectly scalloped edges, demonstrating good knife skills in the design on top of the pie, and ensuring there is enough frangipane and cherry jam filling which doesn't leak out the pastry when baked. And for the showstopper, they have to make a tiered or stacked pie dessert in four hours. It has to have a minimum three pies and/or tarts and have a central theme in design. The judges will be looking for a combination of great flavor and look. Written by Huggo See less
