The remaining teams must turn all their patisserie experience on its head by creating 24 identical reimagined custard tarts and 24 cotton cheesecakes. In their second gruelling challenge, the teams have five hours to turn the spectacle of carnival into astounding showpiece structures adorned with exotic flavoured desserts. Whose custard tarts will see them through to the next round, and who will have egg on their face and be going home for good?

Six new teams are thrown in at the deep end, with a secret challenge: to make a classic coffee éclair, accompanied by an amenity. They must draw on all their knowledge and experience as they have no recipe to follow. In their second challenge, the teams play illusionists as they create a Trompe l'oeil showpiece sculpture inspired by everyday household objects, within which a tarte Tatin to serve 40 must be hidden. Whose patisserie prowess will shine through?
