For the signature challenge, they have two hours to make a mille crepe cake, which will be a little less than a thousand as the name implies in that it only needs to have at least twenty-five crepes. The crepes themselves need to be thick enough to withstand the filling, while thin enough to still be considered a crepe and not a pancake. As they cannot use dowels or skewers to hold the cake together, the filling must be firm enough to act as a glue to hold the cake together when it is served. For the technical challenge, they will have two and a quarter hours to make twelve joconde cakes. This challenge will largely be one of time management as they have to contend with three different elements - the joconde sponge, the raspberry mousse and the raspberry gelee - many which have to have time to set, the mousse in particular which needs to be placed in the mold well in advance of the time allotment so that the cake does not collapse as the mousse largely is what holds the joconde together. And for the showstopper, they must make a savory canape platter consisting of twelve each of a tartlet, a puff pastry bite and a finger sandwich. With only four hours, this challenge also will be one of time management as they have to start the puff pastry and the bread early enough to complete the challenge. The top three bakers this week will move onto next week's finale. Written by Huggo See less
