Despite the outcry, there was a silver lining as Matty secured the Star Baker title and his first Hollywood Handshake.

Party Week Challenges

The quarter final, themed as Party Week, presented challenges for the bakers that included a Signature challenge of crafting 12 sausage rolls with a filling of their choice, a Technical challenge involving a classic chocolate caterpillar cake, and a Showstopper task of creating an ‘anything but beige buffet’ with a mix of savory and sweet snacks.

Matty, one of the contestants, earned praise from judge Paul Hollywood, receiving his first Hollywood Handshake during the Signature challenge for his sausage rolls.

His success continued with a standout performance in the Showstopper, featuring a sports-inspired menu that impressed the judges.

Cristy’s Struggles and Elimination

Cristy faced challenges during the Technical, with issues arising in both the chocolate caterpillar cake and the Showstopper.

Ultimately, the judges’ decision to send her home sparked debate among fans, with many expressing the view that other contestants, particularly Dan, should have been eliminated.

Tasha’s Technical Triumph

Tasha emerged victorious in the Technical challenge, creating a chocolate caterpillar cake that secured her first-place position.
