Junior Bake Off

In the first heat, the young bakers engage in two exciting cake-based challenges. Paul Hollywood and pastry chef Ravneet Gill judge the results.

Harry Hill presents biscuit day in the junior baking challenge, where Ravneet Gill and guest judge Paul Hollywood taste the young bakers' efforts, including biscuit pinatas.

The bakers make bread rolls using a technique never seen before in Junior Bake Off, then use their dough sculpting skills to immortalise their heroes in bread form.

It's Dessert Day, and the judges are looking for the bakers to produce the perfect finale to any meal. Liam Charles sets a fragile Technical with a fruity twist, as the bakers are asked to make a dessert shaped like a pineapple. The Showstopper sets imaginations racing as the bakers travel the Earth creating their dream holidays in cheesecake form. 

It's Pastry Day and the last chance for the first heat of bakers to go through to Finals Week. In the Technical, chef Ravneet Gill asks the bakers to make one of the most iconic French patisseries in the world - shaped to look like host Harry Hill. For the Showstopper, the bakers must use their skills to transform their favourite takeaway into the filling for a delicious, decorated pie.

The bakers face their first technical challenge, creating a topsy-turvy cake, followed by a showstopper in which they must depict their dreams come true in cake form.

The bakers make fashion-conscious wearable biscuits and an `About Me" biscuit box - an edible, cubic sculpture decorated to illustrate different aspects of their lives.

The bakers show off their bread-shaping skills in a technical challenge with a spicy kick, then get artistic while making fiddly focaccias depicting the best day of their lives.

Dessert Day sees the bakers tasked to produce delicious, sweet creations for judges Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill. The bakers struggle to avoid meltdown in an icy Technical Challenge that defies logic, while in the illusional Showstopper they create dessert `imposters" - tasty sweet desserts, baked and decorated to look like savoury meals. At the end, one baker will prove themselves worthy of star baker and another will be leaving the competition.

It's Pastry Day for the second heat of bakers and their last chance to win a place in Finals Week. Liam Charles sets an all-star Technical with delicious shortcrust pastry and cherry pie filling. Then the bakers must show originality and finesse when the judges ask them to design their own family crests in pastry to adorn a colourful and delicious pie.
