Kate and Amelia return to discuss what is often the most difficult week for the bakers: pastry week. They talk about their favorite pastry creations of yore (0:25) before getting into a trendy chouxnut signature challenge (7:40), a just-plain-rude baklava technical challenge (12:40), and the lightly esoteric pâté en croûte showstopper challenge (16:00). Then they discuss the winner and loser of the episode and hand out their awards for soggiest bottom, best sound bites, most absurdly British moment, and more (26:30).
