They may be going back into the unfamiliar in each required to make twenty identical Lammingtons for the technical challenge, it an Australian favorite. Beyond the judges looking for perfectly decorated cubes, the bakers have to contend with the multiple components: the cake sponge, the mostly seedless raspberry jam filling, the chocolate glaze, and the coconut dusting which should not be discolored by the chocolate. And for their first showstopper, they are each to make a fault line cake, an illusion cake that has a "fault line" to reveal something different inside. Written by Huggo See less
