Overview
- The show's Tuesday episode confirmed 25-year-old Danni from Dorset was the first baker sent home after biscuit week and West Yorkshire hairdresser Tom was named Star Baker.
- Biscuit week asked bakers to make 30 identical American-style cookies, recreate iced gems in a technical, and produce a visually striking biscuit-mosaic showstopper that taxed time and assembly skills.
- Judges Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson criticised Danni’s Snickerdoodle for excess cinnamon and a powdery texture and noted it was harder to judge because the bake contained dairy so they could not taste it.
- Tom was praised for flavour across his bakes but ran out of time assembling more than 70 raspberry biscuits for his mosaic, became emotional about the unfinished appearance, and still won for overall consistency.
- The episode followed a no-elimination cake week, highlighted the tent’s tight technical demands under the new judging pairing, and the series returns next Tuesday with the field narrowed and rivalries developing.
