They are given free reign on many aspects of the challenge so that the judges can see their creativity. That break from tradition includes not having to use ground almonds which are standard, but the judges are still expecting the use of some sort of ground nut and have the texture of a crispy exterior and moist interior. While the bakers may have each made a rolled cake in their lives, none probably has made what they are asked for the technical challenge, namely a Bolo de Rolo, a Brazilian cake with thin sponge layers rolled between layers of a tart guava jam. And before the first star baker and the first baker sent home are named for the season, they each are asked to make a Kawaii cake for the showstopper. Arguably the decoration is of utmost importance as the cake has to have the appearance of a Kawaii cake, which means "Japanese cute" as opposed to "French refined". Written by Huggo See less
