So, how did we get here?
He asks Noel if his offer to turn up the other contestants ovens still stands.
However, Tasha is so good he wants Noel to sabotage her oven and refrigerator.
It turns out he wont even need the help; the judges will do it themselves.
Mattys treats are up first.
Despite worrying they werent in the oven long enough, Paul says his chocolate-and-coffee-flavored bake is actually overdone.
Tashas look wonderful, especially her hazelnut-and-coffee combination, which both of the judges like.
Hes equally gaga over his orange-and-peach cakes with peach and raspberries on top.
Can we c’mon make this a thing?
In both languages, it means a thousand layers, but what differentiates the Italian version?
It seems like absolutely nothing to me.
Also, arent all pastries, at their core, French in one way or another?
Why are we insisting this is Italian rather than French?
Did Channel 4/Netflix get some tax breaks from the Vatican?
I have no idea.
Sorry, that sentence has either too many or not enough layers.
I already hate this challenge.
I dont know; this sounds like a risk that is not worth the reward.
Not only is it a harder technique, I dont know that the dividends will really pay off.
Matty is also worried about his pastry because it isnt as dark as Josh and Daddy Dans.
Paul tells him not to second-guess himself and listen to his instincts.
This looks like it could not only be in a shop but at a Jean-Georges in a Vegas hotel.
At least he has one more trick than the proverbial pony.
Everything else is pretty much good, including the flavors and the bake.
Neither of them gets very high marks.
Mattys looks like a big, three-layered wedding cake, as intended, but neither judge likes his pastry.
He used a cake tin to cut out the shapes so it squashed down all the edges.
Then the rest of the pastry rose, keeping the edges down and the layers from fully forming.
Tasha, on the other hand, seemed to make the cardinal sin of having a grainy mango curd.
Maybe that is what finally sent her home.
Especially compared to Matty, who fundamentally flubbed the key element of the week?
