The Great British Bake Off — Series 15

The new batch of bakers elevate a loaf cake, tackle a Technical with a twist and make bamboozling illusion cakes. Whose cake fakery will earn them the first Star Baker award?

In biscuit week, the signature challenge sees the bakers making Viennese sandwich biscuits, before taking a nostalgic turn in the technical, as they recreate a retro minty family favourite. Finally, the bakers take on a dramatic showstopper blending comedy and tragedy, as they craft their own biscuit puppet theatres.

In Bread Week, the bakers are challenged to make savoury buns and bread horns filled with delectable delights. In the Technical challenge, the bakers must follow along as Paul Hollywood demonstrates a recipe before them.

It's Caramel Week and the bakers make caramel biscuits and turn up the heat with showstopping mousse cakes. Who gets a taste of sweet success, and whose mousse cuts them loose?

It's Pastry Week and the bakers tackle a frangipane tart and Paris-Brest, complete with a freestanding podium. Who'll be put on a pedestal, and whose dreams will flake away?

It's Autumn Week and the bakers make sweet autumn-inspired pies and transform veg into showstopping cakes. Who's got their eyes on the pies, and who'll be leaf-ing the tent?

In Dessert Week, the bakers meringue-making skills are put to the test before they make their own attempts at Prue's twist on the classic British steamed suet pudding. The Showstopper Challenge sees the contestants putting their own mark on the beloved tiramisu.

It's a Bake Off first as the bakers get groovy for 1970s Week with towering profiteroles and a retro favourite. Whose gateau will steal the show and who'll make the semi-final?

It's the semi-final and the bakers show off their patisserie prowess with breakfast pastries and a classic-but-theatrical Technical. Who'll make final-worthy fruit entremets?

The finalists go all out with Signature scones, afternoon tea and tiered celebration cakes. Whose chance of winning has come and scone? And who'll be shedding tiers of joy?
