The Great British Bake Off

S02E01 Cupcakes Week

In their initial challenge, the bakers had two hours to create 24 cupcakes, with the option to choose two distinct flavors. For the technical challenge, they were tasked with producing a Coffee and Walnut Battenburg cake using a recipe from Mary Berry, also within a two-hour timeframe. The cake had to feature a flawless sponge that maintained perfect symmetry, distinct flavors, and a polished finish. For the showstopper round, the bakers were required to craft an impressive multi-layer chocolate tiered celebration cake over a span of five hours.
