Synopsis

Jesse Palmer transports the competition to a Victorian Christmas, recreating a festive gathering of a bygone era. Before the main challenge, the nine remaining bakers face a test of traditional skill: crafting desserts incorporating a rich blend of dried fruits, warming spices, and a generous measure of liquor. Their creations must take the form of Lambeth cakes, distinguished by elaborate piping, bold color palettes, and a surprising element drawn from the past. Judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman,
