In the first challenge, the remaining teams are tasked with creating 24 reimagined millefeuille and 24 pavlovas in never-before-seen ways. The showpiece display must feature two batches of 24 modern religieuse, designed to look like musical icons.

The best three teams from each set of heats are challenged to create a plated dessert for each of the judges that celebrates herbs and spices with no recipe, and only the ingredients laid before them. In a never-before-seen challenge, the teams must create a showpiece adorned with petit-fours following the theme of Take Flight, that hangs from the ceiling.
