Ready - Set - Bake! Presented by former Big Brother star Anna Nolan, The Great Irish Bake Off is the ultimate baking battle where passionate amateur bakers compete to be crowned Ireland’s Best Amateur Baker. Over eight episodes our 12 bakers will bake their way through challenges that will confuse, enlighten and certainly push their baking skills to the limit. They will be carefully watched and critiqued by our judges - renowned Cookery Writer and Forager, Biddy White Lennon and award-winning Executive Pastry Chef from The Merrion Hotel, Paul Kelly.
The 12 candidates bake cupcakes for their first test, followed by blind tasting Technical bake. One will be declared the star baker and one will be eliminated.
Following last week's elimination the tension is beginning to mount in the Great Irish Bake Off tent. The judges search for their king and queen of tarts as the contestants are put through their first showstopper challenge.
Paul Kelly and Biddy White Lennon challenge the remaining contestants to create an Irish bread basket composed of Soda bread, Irish tea bread and a non-yeasted bread for the signature bake. In the technical bake, the amateur bakers must recreate Paul's tear and share Party bread.
This week's technical challenge is Biddy's Cider & Apple Warm Pudding. And for the showstopper, the remaining nine bakers must demonstrate their skills at making a roulade, a crumble and a bread-based dessert.
The culinary contest returns to test the skills of 12 passionate home bakers as they battle it out to be crowned Best Amateur Baker by judges Paul Kelly and Biddy White Lennon.
