NARRATOR: Warner Bros.
Leavesden,

where our bakers are in the heat
of a fierce competition

through the sets
of the Harry Potter films.

That looks amazing.

NARRATOR:
In their previous task,

the bakers showcased
their magical desserts

in Diagon Alley...

It's really, like, boiling.

NARRATOR: ...for a group
of Harry Potter superfans...

Smoky!

- NARRATOR: ...and our judges.
- Oh!

NARRATOR:
It was a very close call.

The team that won by one vote.

Oh, wow.

Elizabeth and Juan.

NARRATOR: But it also marked
the end of the journey

for Hemu and Riccardo.

This week,

CONTESTANTS: Thank you!

Now, the Forbidden Forest
borders the grounds of Hogwarts,

Hi.

LUNA LOVEGOOD:
You're not going mad.

I can see them too.

You're just as sane as I am.

So, for this
Forbidden Forest task,

you'll create sweet showpieces
that are inspired by...

the Dark Arts.

- ♪ (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
- Oh.

- I like that, I like that.

We have four rules
for this task.

Some part of your showpiece

must be at least
three feet tall.

- (CONTESTANTS MURMURING)
- Okay.

You'll need to make two
delectable tasting elements.

And in a nod
to the many layers of intrigue

in the Forbidden Forest,
one of those tasting elements

must contain
at least ten layers.

- MIKO: Oh no.
- CHRIS: Ten?

Ten layers?

Hold on, what's the fourth rule?

- You've only given three.
- Sorry. It involves a spell.

The one that makes objects
levitate or fly.

Wingardium Leviosa. (CHUCKLE)

your fantastical creations,

and Evanna is also here
to be one of your judges.

OLIVER: Because Evanna
is famously vegan,

her focus won't be on flavor,

Luna Lovegood to life

- Nice. Perfect. Right up our alley.

"Dementors are
wraith-like creatures

who feed on human happiness
and consume a person's soul."

What could be more Slytherin,
Chris, than this?

- Nothing, I don't think.
- MIKO: Exactly.

- JORDAN: "Umbridge is
your Dark Arts inspiration..." - ZOE: Yes!

- I love this character.
- She's like the devil.

ZOE: She is the devil, but she's
kind of presented in this pink,

sugary, saccharine
sweet coating.

Because you know, deep down,
you deserve to be punished.

DOLORES UMBRIDGE:
Don't you, Mr. Potter?

She's a full facade.

- (GASPS) Boggarts!
- Whoa!

"A boggart is a shape-shifting
creature that takes the form

I am actually really afraid
of spiders.

Can we do a spider?

- (GASPS) Horcruxes!
- JUAN: Yes!

"Objects that conceal a part
of someone's fragmented soul.

Lord Voldemort
creates seven of them

in order to try
to achieve immortality."

Let's start sketching out.
We need to make sure that we do

- the six that they destroy.
- Yes.

ELIZABETH: So, we've got
the diary, the ring...

- JUAN: The locket.
- ...the goblet, the diadem,

and I want a really big Nagini.
She's almost gravity-defying,

so I want her,
like, swirling up.

- JUAN: Perfect.
- ELIZABETH: Oh gosh.

- This is huge.
- (JUAN CHUCKLES)

I'm nervous.

MIKO: So, dementors.

- One is gonna be in the center.
- CHRIS: Yep.

MIKO: And it has to be
gravity-defying.

Right. We want it to look
like they're flying around us.

- MIKO: It needs movement.
- Yeah.

MIKO: Yeah, so definitely.

CHRIS: It's ambitious,
but we need to nail this

to get to the semifinals.

- MIKO: We have to.
- CHRIS: Yep.

The iconic scenes
with Dolores Umbridge

in her office at Hogwarts,
with the plates on the wall

with the moving kittens,

and she's stirring sugar
into her tea.

Yeah, the pretty on top,
the evil within.

- We need to bring
that to this design. - JORDAN: Okay.

ZOE: For this challenge, we want
to go with a tea party theme.

The gravity-defying challenge
is to make the tea party float.

JORDAN: There'll be
some edible teacups

and the iconic cat on a plate.

ZOE: And then a little bit
lower down the showpiece,

we're going to create
some little dainty macarons.

I'm starting to work on making
the shells for the macarons.

- Very French techniques.
- ♪ (ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

JORDAN:
As an executive pastry chef,

I do everything pastry.

Plated desserts,
petite gateaux,

the fancy plated desserts.

That's something
I feel like is my niche.

So doing a macaron
is something that

I'm really excited to do.

We wanna play with a little bit
of texture on that.

So I'm going to make
some blackcurrant leather.

Nice!

JORDAN: We're gonna
have a little sugar in there,

and I'm just gonna dry it out
in the oven.

Yeah, I like that.

JORDAN: Then we can stick that
on top of the macarons.

ZOE: We're doing a riff
on a blackcurrant and licorice sweet,

which is a very typical
British sweet that we have.

JORDAN: I'm learning a lot about
British delicacies and desserts

- from you, Zoe.
- You are, right?

People all around the world
absolutely love Harry Potter,

but we have to kind of claim it
as Brits

because that's fitting
to Harry and Hogwarts.

It's important to me,

and now it's important
to Jordan. (LAUGHS)

MITZI: Cake is in the oven.

LISA: Perfect. Nice, quick cake.

- Lisa, Mitzi.
- Well, hello. Hi!

- So, what's going on?
- Making some roller skates

- for our boggart.
- Ah, okay.

It's not a scary boggart.
We have defeated the boggart

with the charm Riddikulus!

- Ah.
- So we gotta make it fun and playful.

It's a big, creepy spider.

The legs are gonna be
flying in the air

with some roller skates.

And we're gonna do
a nod to Neville's boggart,

which is Snape dressed
in his grandma's clothes.

So we're gonna do a red handbag.

Then we're gonna do a balloon
that looks like the moon

because it's a nod
to Lupin's boggart.

Riddikulus!

- (BALLOON SQUEAKING)
- (STUDENTS EXCLAIMING)

And our cake is defying gravity,
so all of the legs

are just gonna be
flying everywhere.

We gotta be careful that
our weight is spread evenly,

so that way
it doesn't start tilting on us.

LISA: So the structure
needs to be nice and strong.

Normally,
with my gravity-defying cakes,

I will spend a few days making
sure the physics are right,

the balance is right.

Doing a gravity-defying cake
in six hours

is an incredible challenge.

And would a spider
be your personal boggart?

I feel like my boggart would be
completely losing my mind

in front of some
of my childhood heroes,

- but I've already done that...
- (BOTH LAUGH)

...so it's all good.

(CHUCKLES)

We've been assigned
the dementors. Hmm, scary.

My tasting element
is a gravity-defying dementor

flying over clouds
with an edible fabric gown.

CHRIS:
And to accompany the dementor,

we're gonna be making a lake
made out of isomalt,

trees that are made
out of solid chocolate.

The requirement
of the challenge is that

it needs to be
a ten-layer dessert.

So Black Forest cake, because
we are in the Forbidden Forest,

but reverse Black Forest cake.

So, instead of doing
chocolate cake,

we're doing a cherry cake,
and chocolate as the filling.

My tasting element
is gonna be a tree trunk.

I really enjoy incorporating
savory into a dessert.

I think it balances
it out very well.

Using tarragon
as an herbaceous note

complements the cherries
very well.

I mean, in the last challenge,
we almost got sent home

with a savory element.

But I'm pretty confident
in this choice so far.

I am attempting to bring
the best of what we need to do

to this challenge today.

I really want to get
to the semifinals.

We have to go
from the bottom to the top.

Absolutely.

♪ (INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

I'm making our smoky tendrils,
but we're doing rice paper,

and I'm dipping them in water,
tinted black,

to make them really dark
and inky and creepy.

Elizabeth, Juan.

- JUAN: Hi.
- Hi.

What is your inspiration
for today?

So, we want to do
all the Horcruxes.

ELIZABETH:
So, we're gonna start off

with a really huge
rock formation.

We're gonna have
smoky tendrils coming out.

And then above that
is going to be

the black Voldemort soul pieces,
which are the faces.

And then we're going to have
each of our Horcruxes,

basilisk fang as well.
And then to top it all off,

we're going to have Nagini,

gravity-defying,
giant five-foot snake.

You were the fan favorites
in the Diagon Alley task,

and that means you've won
another advantage.

- Ooh!
- (JUAN GASPS)

ELIZABETH:
We get a second advantage.

- This is fantastic.
- I know.

Bakers, you may want
to pay attention

to what Juan has got to say.

"Help will always
be given at Hogwarts

- to those who deserve it."
- Ooh.

It must be something
related to help,

but who's going to help us?

So, at any point
during the task,

you can present this card to us
and use your advantage.

There's definitely a target...

- Yeah.
- ...on our back.

We kind of are known as being
the overachieving team.

I really do want to win
and being in that cookbook

would be, gosh,
beyond mind-blowing.

I know we got this.

♪ (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

ZOE: We have lots
of different components

in this Dolores Umbridge
showpiece.

Jordan is tackling
the tasting elements,

so that I can focus
on the cake sculpture

and the sculpted details.

I am starting on some teacups
and saucers.

I'm just using actually
a little bit of pastillage.

Just gonna do that first,

and then I can get
to hand painting them later.

And I'm using bone china...
(CHUCKLES)

...to model said teacup.

My mum, sorry Mum,
has a china problem.

She loves a bit of china.
Vintage china, old china.

"Ooh, look at this one."

Anyone that knows my mum
will be nodding.

- ZOE: Every birthday I had,

she always ordered
like a novelty cake.

So I kind of grew up, like,
the magic of the novelty cake.

I feel that now I've discovered
that cake is my canvas.

So my focus is to bring
the detail to the piece,

which I intend to do
through hyperrealism.

So, it is definitely gonna
look different,

and hopefully
that will make it stand out

against the other pieces.

So, we gotta position them
where we want them.

I'll help you.

And then we'll get it tightened.

the ones we have,

get them in the fridge,
and do something faster

for the other legs.

- LISA: Sure.

Come on. We can do this,

tasting elements must contain

at least ten layers.

tasting element,

we're doing a crepe cake.

So, this is Earl Grey tea.

I'm actually going
to blend it in with the batter.

Want to taste it?
Here you go.

It's not reading. It needs
a little more Earl Grey.

JORDAN: Earl Grey, it's tricky.
If you have too much,

it's almost starchy,
but too little of it,

you're not gonna
taste it at all.

OLIVER: You've been so good
on the flavors.

So you're going big
on those again as well today?

We are. We've been inspired
by a drink called London Fog.

It's like a milky Earl Grey.

And so those flavors
are going to be incorporated

into the crepe cake.
The challenge is ten layers,

but this thing
is gonna have a lot

and lots and lots of layers.

- ♪ (EXCITING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
- Ooh. (CHUCKLES)

JORDAN: I'm putting a little bit
of crunch in there,

so freeze-dried yogurt
and some feuilletine.

It's not gonna look
like a crepe cake.

It looks like one right now,

but it'll look completely
different and very modern.

- Guys, we'll leave you to it.

- Nice to see you.

So, I am working
on my mangoes right now.

- These are gonna be the filling
of my chocolate cake. - ♪ (GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

MIKO:
It's gonna be the dementor.

Every time I eat mangoes,
it always reminds me

of my home country,
which is the Philippines,

and beautiful
childhood memories.

My parents actually have a farm
in the Philippines.

And every harvest season,

there are like baskets
and baskets of mangoes.

So it's like breakfast,
lunch, and dinner,

we always have mangoes.

And it is tied up
to our showpiece,

like happiness
is something that could

actually ward off dementors.

ELIZABETH:
So, in this challenge,

one of our tasting elements
has to have ten layers.

My ten layers is going
to be Tom Riddle's diary,

five layers of cake
and five layers of filling,

dark black cocoa
chocolate cake,

a mint crunchy buttercream,

and then also,
a chocolate whipped ganache.

JUAN: My specialty is chocolate.

So I am casting
and painting my bonbons.

So this is gonna be
for the jewel in the diadem.

I'm painting them
with cocoa butter,

so they're nice and shiny

and they have
that beautiful blue.

So it's gonna be a black sesame
cheesecake bonbon.

I'm using black sesame because
this is all about Dark Arts.

Black sesame
has beautiful notes,

but people are too scared
sometimes to use it

because it tends to be
on the savory side.

So we have two wins now...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...which that means

that we're closer
to that beautiful cup.

I know.
One step closer to the cup.

JUAN: I really want that cup.

imagination and their ambition.

I don't know how
they're holding it together.

I love that they're each
putting their personality into it.

I think that shows
really gifted artists

who know how to play
to their strengths.

We're going super Mexican
with this cake.

So for our ten-layer cake,

it's gonna be
the body of our spider.

Inspired by
a Mexican fruit stand.

The layers will be
a cucumber lime jam,

mango and passion fruit
crémeux, guava.

And I wanted to add a Mexican
candy called Miguelito.

It's like a chili, sugar,
kind of chili powder.

It's definitely a big,
big challenge

because you had
to balance the flavors.

LISA: That smells so refreshing.

I'm making the cotton candy because we have to defy gravity.

The cotton candy will be used
to float with the dementor.

It's gonna look like clouds.

This is make or break

we just have a big pole

sticking out of the lake.

Jordan's making
some cotton candy,

Welcome back

home to giant spiders,
a herd of centaurs,

and now,
a whole lot of cake.

- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- JOZEF: Zoe and Jordan.

Tonight we're celebrating
the Dark Arts.

ZOE: This piece is completely
inspired by Dolores Umbridge.

JORDAN: You know,
obviously we chose a tea party

to represent Dolores.

ZOE: The top half speaks
more of when we see her

in her office in Hogwarts.

The more you look at it,
there's so much detail.

And it looks like we're not
the only ones eyeing up

this creation.
Buckbeak is taking it in.

(GROUP LAUGHS,
CHATTERS EXCITEDLY)

He looks like
he's about to reach out

and just peck a teacup
off the top. (CHUCKLES)

ZOE: It's so true.

We decided to use
the cotton candy, obviously,

to give the illusion
of things floating.

We have these teacups
that are kind of very wonky.

You have the ones on top.

Amazing. Amazing job.

All the construction looks nice.

I can see a few little bits
of metal kind of hanging out

here and there.

Could you have kept
the cotton candy a bit fluffier?

Cotton candy is fickle.

I think that's what
we learned with this.

Okay, two tasting elements.

So, tell us about them.

JORDAN: The macaron
is a blackcurrant ganache

and a licorice gel,
and then on top

there's a blackcurrant leather.

♪ (INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

It's beautiful,
really pink color,

and then this sludgy
dark color, it's...

Yes, it's so Umbridge.

I think your macaron
is probably two minutes over.

- It's a little crackery
in the top. - Yep.

I do think that the flavors
are really good.

JOZEF: Let's try
your second tasting element,

your ten-layered dessert.

JORDAN: As you see, there is
a multi-layered crepe cake.

It embodies a London Fog,
which is a type of drink,

so that's gonna have
some Earl Grey,

a little bit of lavender,

some mascarpone cream,

and a lot of vanilla.

It's really-- wow.
Just so stunning and so unique.

So, what I love is that I get
that Earl Grey flavor

coming through
in beautiful subtlety,

but it's really there
and it's distinct.

Textures are lovely, delicious.

Well, you've given us
a lot to think about.

For the moment,
you guys can head out

of the Forbidden Forest.
Thank you so much.

MIKO: Heading to the judges,
I honestly feel great

about our showpiece.

CHRIS: But also,
we were in the bottom two

in the previous challenge,

which was pastry chef focused,

so I'm super nervous
in terms of my tasting element.

Miko and Chris, tell us
what you've prepared for us.

CHRIS: So, we took a scene from

Harry Potter and the Prisoner
of Azkaban as our inspiration.

Miko's Patronus here,
which is a butterfly,

is warding off the dementor
and saving the person

that is in the forest.

So, we have here a dementor,
which is floating,

covered with edible
chocolate fabric

and wafer paper crinoline.

To complete the scene,
we've added an isomalt lake,

trees made out of chocolate,
and the cotton candy

to give the effect
of the levitation.

Wow.

CARLA HALL:
I... love this so much.

This is truly a celebration
of the Dark Arts.

The movement,

the different textures,
I love it.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you very much.

I love the detail
of the butterfly,

'cause this is something
I love so much

about the Harry Potter fandom.

It's about us putting
ourselves into it,

and that is the special element
that you haven't just copied it,

you've put your own little
flavor and essence into it.

- So...
- Thank you very much.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

So, what have we got?

CHRIS: I did a reverse
Black Forest cake.

So you have six layers
of cherry cake,

and you have a layer
of toasted marshmallow,

tarragon cherry compote,

and tarragon
freeze-dried cherry crunch.

Black Forest is my favorite.

- EVANNA: Ooh.
- No pressure.

Oh, you've delivered
a delicious cake. I love it.

- JOZEF: I absolutely love it.

- Having said that...
- ♪ (INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

...I'm not really getting
much tarragon,

which might be a good thing.
It's delicious.

I love that you gave us
all of these different facets,

the cherry cake
with the cherry soak,

the cherry gelée,
the cherry crunchies.

- Well done.
I'm really happy for you. - CHRIS: Thank you.

For my tasting element,
which is the dementor,

it's chocolate cake. It has
mango buttercream frosting,

and then it has a layer
of milk chocolate ganache,

and it has fresh mango fillings
as well.

I love the mango layer.

The texture of the chocolate
feels a little dry in my mouth.

- MIKO: Okay.
- Maybe a little too much flour.

Okay.

But the flavors themselves
work really well together.

Thank you, Chef. Thank you.

All right, here we go.

Our spider right now
is incredibly unbalanced.

All of the weight

of all of the chocolate
and the cake

is starting to push
our spider forward.

This is exactly
what you don't want to happen

while you're making
a gravity-defying cake.

MITZI: We are definitely
very nervous and anxious.

LISA: We have created for you

Ron's boggart,
which is the spider.

This is after we've already
performed the Riddikulus charm.

So, the legs are flying in the
air with some roller skates.

All of the legs are made
out of modeling chocolate.

Guys, so the balloon
didn't quite work.

Looks a bit precarious,

things are a little bit
off balance, but it's striking.

EVANNA: The first thing
that really strikes me

is there's so much personality.

Like, the detail on the socks,

oh my gosh,
there's so much to look at.

Yeah, it's brilliant.

MITZI: Our first tasting element
is her eyes.

Inside of the eye, you're gonna
have aerated vanilla chocolate.

It's gonna have a little bit
of sesame seed.

It's gonna have
a chamomile ganache,

a strawberry jam,
and a strawberry marshmallow

with some
strawberry pieces in it.

Oh, it smells lovely.

Texture on the aerated
white chocolate, great.

Lovely and crispy.

I did like the texture
of the strawberry mousse.

CARLA: I love the flavors
that you were doing,

but a little bit of acidity
in that jam

would have gone
a long way.

Now on to your ten-layered
tasting element.

You are about to taste

the magic that is
a Mexican fruit stand.

MITZI: So, we have
cucumber and lime,

we have guava,

and then a mango
and passion fruit crémeux

on the bottom.

Mitzi, what I love
is that you're leaning

into your Mexican heritage
full force.

It smells like
this Mexican fruit stand.

LISA: There's gonna be some
palate surprises in there.

ELIZABETH:
I'm petrified, honestly,

the bar so high.

JUAN: We're in a winning streak.
It puts a lot of pressure on us.

ELIZABETH:
But there are definitely some areas

that are a lot rougher
in our showpiece,

and I just want to melt

into the dark Forbidden Forest.

Juan and Elizabeth,
the inspiration

for your Dark Arts showpiece
was the Horcruxes.

ELIZABETH:
Since we went big with this one,

we have six Horcruxes.

So, we have Nagini.
She is modeling chocolate,

hand airbrushed and sculpted.

The faces, which are elements
of Voldemort's soul,

those are chocolate shells.

For our
gravity-defying element,

the classic basilisk fang,

you would use that to stab
Tom Riddle's diary,

although you won't want
to stab this one

because this one
tastes delicious.

(GROUP LAUGHS)

And it actually has
chocolate cake inside, so...

- (CHUCKLES)
- EVANNA: Oh.

This is truly impressive.

This icing work on the mound
here has obviously been done

- by a real...
- (GROUP LAUGHS, CHATTERS)

- Professional.
- ...real-- Just have to throw it in there.

The Horcruxes is such
a detailed part of the story,

and the fact
that you've managed to put

all of these elements in there,
it's so much.

It's stunning, yeah.

I expect nothing less
from you guys at this point.

But the finishing's
not very clean,

and the box that we have here,
it's a bit messy.

- We admit it's not up to...
- Our standards.

...our standards,
that we like to show.

All right,
so two tasting elements.

- You mentioned the diary.
- ♪ (INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

There is, in fact, ten layers.

I went with
a dark black velvet cake

paired with a mint buttercream
that has a mint crunch layer.

(JUDGES EXCLAIM EXCITEDLY)

- JOZEF: Wow.
- EVANNA: Wow. Black velvet.

CARLA:
The layers are really clean.

When I heard about
black velvet cake with mint,

I'll be honest with you,

I thought it sounded
a bit Halloween-y.

But that's delicious.

- Thank you.
- JOZEF: And if I had to have

mint and chocolate together,

I would want it
together like this.

I mean, I don't picture
the Death Eaters or Voldemort

as cake people, but I can see
them eating this cake.

- (GROUP LAUGHS)
- It's just so classy.

- Thank you.
- EVANNA: Yeah.

I think the cake itself
needs just a hint of salt.

- Just a little more salt.
- Okay. Thank you.

Let's see about the second
tasting element.

JUAN: We have here a jewel
from the diadem,

a black sesame praline,

a mascarpone
cheesecake ganache,

and then a black sesame crunch.

- That is just so detailed.
- CARLA: It's beautiful.

- The color is stunning.
- EVANNA: Look at all the faces.

I mean, it is really
a saturated blue.

JOZEF: I think
that vanilla comes through

very nice and cleanly,

complements it very well.

Chocolate work, again,

I wouldn't expect
anything less from you,

there's a lovely crack
to that shell.

You really balanced
the black sesame well.
