The Great South African Bake Off

It's custard week on The Great South African Bake Off and the bakers kick things off with a Franginpane Tart with Crème Anglaise. For their technical, Siba tasks them with producing a South African favourite - custard-filled doughnuts. The Showstopper sees the bakers making their own Bavarian Cream Gateaux.

Exploring the world of royalty this week, the bakers will be making Pan du Coronne, or Crown Bread, Queen of Sheba Cake, and a sophisticated showstopper fit for a king.

With just 4 bakers left in the competition, the pressure has ramped up once again with patisserie week, including bombe, and a difficult bake reportedly dedicated to the patron saint of baking. For the Showstopper, the bakers are required to make elaborate entremet, complete with mirror glaze and accompanying macarons.

The top three bakers battle it out to be crowned South Africa's Best Amateur Baker. For their final signature bake, Siba and Paul request 24 glazed petit fours, which highlight distinct South African flavours. The technical challenge comes with a twist that takes the bakers by surprise, and for their last challenge of the season, bakers have 5 hours to create a large sculpture - the final chance to impress the judges enough to claim the title.
