For a week that was all about parties, this hour could have been more festive.
The signature challenge was making a sausage roll, a specifically English treat you could find absolutely anywhere.
Tasha adds apricot jam to hers and she wants it to taste like a picnic in the park.
Its sort of a mixed bag for the bakers.
Joshs look good and very neat, but Paul says theyre underbaked, and everything is too damn dry.
Tasha pulls one out with her apricot jam.
But its Matty, our delightfully dreamy gym teacher, who gets the most for doing the least.
As they survey the bakers in the tent, Tasha says, Everyone knows this cake.
Um, not anyone outside of the British Isles.
Calling this thing a caterpillar cake is like calling a Rice Krispie Treat a puffed rice dessert.
It was ultimatelysettled out of court, and Cuthbert is no more.
But this cake is at literally every childs birthday party in the whole country.
It is a delicious cake, but to call the outer coating ganache is generous.
Matty came in third despite the face on his caterpillar looking like it would rob you on a train.
Josh and Daddy Dan were the bottom two, but even the worst looked delightful.
As always, Daddy Dan and Tasha are doing the absolute most.
Naturally, theyre both running around the tent and sweating.
When it comes time to present, they are mostly disappointments.
The choux buns are dubbed underwhelming, as is her whole display.
Speaking of slapdash, Cristys tribute to Willy Wonka looked more like Wilted Wonka.
She made cheese twists that looked less like candy canes and more like anemic flamingos.
Her tiny lemon meringue pies arent baked enough, and her Swiss roll lollipops look like pools of sick.
The judges call it rough and ready, and that is not a compliment.
The two boys did the best.
(He doesnt really, but wouldnt it be funny?)
Maybe Prue hates Christmas.
Seems like she would.
That leaves Tasha as the only woman standing in the boys club.
I cant wait to see how this one turns out, as the remaining four are all stellar.
