It's week six, and just seven bakers remain. This week, for the very first time on The Great British Baking Show, it's Botanical Week. With three challenges inspired by nature, the bakers can reach for anything that grows to give their bakes maximum botanical taste. The bakers start with a signature challenge-a classic with a twist, that demands sharp citrus flavors and perfect peaks. Hidden under the gingham cloth is a leafy technical challenge set by Paul Hollywood. And, finally, the botanical showstopper is the biggest challenge of the series so far; not one, not two, but three tiers of elaborately decorated cake. Paul and Mary are looking for beautifully flavored sponges, and want to be wowed by stunning floral designs.
