The ovens are hot and the pressure is on in the Bake Off: The Professionals kitchen as Season 10 rolls into its fifth episode, airing Tuesday, June 24, at 8:00 PM on Channel 4. Hosts Ellie Taylor and Liam Charles welcome the remaining pastry chef teams from around the UK for another pair of demanding challenges set to test both their classical precision and their creative spark.
The first task is a test of exactitude: each team must produce 24 identical framboisiers, a classic French raspberry cake. This requires flawless technique and an eye for uniformity, pushing the teams to draw on every bit of their formal training. Consistency, as anyone who has ever baked knows, is often harder than it looks.
The second challenge shifts gears entirely, asking the professionals to take an American camping staple—the s’more—and reinvent it as a high-end patisserie creation. This is where innovation and imagination come into play, as they must transform gooey marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers into something fitting for a Michelin-starred dessert menu.
Judges Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden, known for their sharp eyes and even sharper critiques, will be on hand to decide which teams have truly mastered both art and science, and which ones will see their hopes for the title crumble.
