Episode 10

The finalists pour all their patisserie passion and expertise into two epic final challenges, where nothing less than brilliance is good enough. For their first challenge, the teams must hit the right trend with a viral patisserie window display. As they aim to get the judges to hit the 'like' button, their displays must include gourmet cookies, gateaux de voyage and filled laminated buns - 12 of each and all baked to perfection in just four hours. In a gruelling seven-hour challenge, the series' two top teams must create a banquet celebrating great train journeys, with a towering sugar and chocolate showpiece and enough desserts to feed 120. It's full steam ahead, but which team will be on track to be crowned the winners of Bake Off: The Professionals 2025?
