Bake Off: The Professionals

As the contest reaches the quarter-final, the teams create 24 savoury sweet desserts, harnessing all the natural sweetness their ingredients, alongside 24 desserts that feature one ingredient throughout their flavours and textures. In the second challenge, things get eerie as the pairs have just five hours to create extraterrestrial-themed showpieces with jelly art desserts.

The semi-final sees Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden joined by Gabriella Cugno - world-renowned official chocolatier for the movie, Wonka - as the contestants are challenged to produce two types of chocolate bars fit for the silver screen. After that, in what might be the toughest challenge ever set, the teams must create an entirely edible 'floating cities' showpiece that floats on water, embellished by 24 petit fours.

The finalists pour all their patisserie passion and expertise into two epic final challenges, where nothing less than brilliance is good enough. For their first challenge, the teams must hit the right trend with a viral patisserie window display. As they aim to get the judges to hit the 'like' button, their displays must include gourmet cookies, gateaux de voyage and filled laminated buns - 12 of each and all baked to perfection in just four hours. In a gruelling seven-hour challenge, the series' two top teams must create a banquet celebrating great train journeys, with a towering sugar and chocolate showpiece and enough desserts to feed 120. It's full steam ahead, but which team will be on track to be crowned the winners of Bake Off: The Professionals 2025?
