Final The Great British Bake Off : Season 10 Episode 10

It's the finals, and the last three of the original bakers' dozen standing are David Atherton, Steph Blackwell and Alice Fevronia, whose friends and family, as well as the season's eliminated bakers, will be on hand to see the crowning of this season's winner at the conclusion of the last three bakes. For the signature, the bakers are given the seemingly easy task of making a chocolate cake, the trick being to make theirs stand out from the regular. They are even more apprehensive than usual for the technical as there is no theme this week, meaning that the judges could throw anything at them. What is thrown are six twice baked unmolded Stilton soufflés apiece, served with wafer-thin, crispy lavash crackers. And for the final bake - the showstopper - they each have to make an illusion picnic, complete with illusion picnic basket made of nougatine. In other words, they have to make picnic type foods out of some baked good completely different than what it is, one example from each of the finalists being "cheese wedges" that are really lemon pound cake, "scotch eggs" that are really carrot cake, and "strawberries" that are really macarons. Beyond the nervous anticipation of the announcement of the winner, Alice has an additional worry in whether her parents will make it to the ceremony, they who were necessarily out of town the evening before and are flying back this day with their original flight canceled, hence there being no guarantee they will make it on time.
