Season 5, Episode 4: Desserts

Premiered July 6, 2018 on PBS | check local listings

This week, the bakers get their just dessert as they face three challenges all designed for a sweet tooth.

Starting off with a tempting array of decadently rich tortes, the bakers then face the technical challenge. This time, it’s a main stay of French baking, the crème caramel, and for some, there’s more wobble than expected.

Proceedings are rounded off with a mammoth 6-hour challenge to produce a mighty showstopping layered meringue. But who will claim the accolade of Star Baker, and who will hang up their apron for the last time?
