Great British Bake Off viewers were left bringing the legend that is Mary Berry into their arguments as they issued complaints about the latest episode. The hit baking show was back on Channel 4 on Tuesday night (November 1) and it was crunch time for the remaining five contestants as, if they got through, just one week stood between them and the final.
During the latest trip inside the tent, the contestants were tasked with baking 12 signature vol-au-vents, a tricky spring roll technical and a nostalgic showstopper. First up, the amateur bakes were tasked with whipping up 12 rough puff pastry vol-au-vents with a sweet filling of their choice in two hours.
Sandro, who works as a nanny in London, was keen to impress Paul Hollywood with the judge’s favourite flavour of key lime cheesecake but disaster struck when he realised his oven had not been turned on for part of his bake. Meanwhile Swedish-born Maxy struggled with her vol-au-vents, which were filled with chantilly cream and gooseberry jam, as the judges pointed out the pastry base was raw.
