Bake Off: The Professionals: Season 2, Episode 1

2 - 1: Tarts and Red Velvet Cake

In the first of two heats, judges Cherish Finden and Benoit Blin set a pair of exceedingly tricky challenges for six new teams. The first requires them to finely craft two batches of perfectly uniform miniature classics - 24 Linzer tortes and 24 Bakewell tarts - in just three and a half hours. For the second challenge - the Showpiece - the teams are required in five hours to reinvent a classic dessert - the red velvet cake. Can the teams transform the ordinary into the extraordinary? At the end of the two days, one of the teams must leave the competition.
