Paul Hollywood said "We want the bakers to make a chocolate caterpillar cake. The caterpillar should be made of a chocolate swiss roll sponge filled with a chocolate meringue buttercream and then coated in a silky-smooth ganache. The caterpillar should feature decorations to bring it to life."
The bakers were given 2.5 hours to complete the task.
Paul Hollywood "The trick is getting the bake of the swiss roll sponge just right. Overbaking it by just a minute will make it bone dry. Also, it's important to create the ridges and if the bakers follow the recipe, it steps them through the process. Inside there is a Swiss meringue buttercream and then a silky chocolate ganache on top.
