The remaining teams feel the heat rising as they must produce pristine, perfect cheesecake slices, pear-shaped desserts, and a themed pièce montée with two different flavours of choux buns.

The best six teams from both sets of heats are combined, facing new rivals and new challenges as they battle it out for a place in the quarter-final. For Holiday Week, the teams must create 24 classic brioches polonaises and 24 savoury Danish pastries in just four hours. For their next challenge, the teams take judges Cherish Finden and Benoit Blin on a journey with their holiday-themed Showpieces.
