The Great Australian Bake Off – Season 5

After nine weeks of whisking, kneading and piping, it's time for the grand final. Our three finalists have three bakes that stand between them and the glory of becoming Australia's best amateur baker.

It's the semi final in the Bake Off shed and what better way to celebrate than by baking for a party. Matt and Maggie set a series of party-themed challenges that will help them decide who will have a place in the final.

The bakers mix things up to create a fusion of favourites, croissants that look like muffins, doughnuts that aren't quite what they seem, and cakes made from anything but cake.

The heat is on for spice week, with the bakers having to carefully consider their flavours as they tackle maamoul biscuits and a baklava tower.

It's patisserie week and the bakers must prove their pastry skills and showcase their imagination with decoration.

This week, it's a return to the classics and the seven remaining bakers need to bring their personal baking style and understanding of the basics to some traditional favourites.

The Bake Off shed has gone vegan and our bakers are challenged to substitute butter, eggs and dairy to create some classic favourites and a tricky technical bake. First Broadcast: Thu, Oct 24, 2019
