Only The Paris-Best Will Do

Author: Bake With A Legend October 23, 2024 Duration: 1:17:28

One of the tent's trickier weeks is back to befuddle the bakers: pastry week. This year the remaining eight bakers are pushed to the limit with three new challenges: a frangipane shortcrust tart signature, a Greek filo pastry technical and an elevated choux pastry showstopper. Paul and Prue will be watching the bakers closely to see whose shortcrust will crumble and whose choux will fail to rise. Join Howard, Jane and Sarah as they discuss the pitfalls of pastry week and find out who was next to win Star Baker.


The big news once again from Bake With A Legend is that not only are we still having great fun hosting regular online baking classes every weekend, but this year we are going to be teaching a virtual class of either the signature or the technical challenge EVERY SUNDAY at 5pm UK following the episode. So, to take your enjoyment of the series to a new level, you can come and bake along with the show. Places are limited! Click here for more information and to sign up.


We have plenty of virtual classes on sale now for you to enjoy and learn from the comfort of your own home.
