Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Voice-over: "Christian's towering croquembouche will be decorated with fresh cherries and Kirsch Chantilly cream."
"Looks great."
"It does look nice. It's pretty attractive and they're very uniform. They look really good."
Christiaan: "So we've got a chocolate chip pastry with a cocoa craquelin on top. And then inside we've got a Kirsch and cherry jam and a kirsch and chocolate namaleka. And on the outside we have some Kirsch chili cream.
Judge: "It's quite boozy."
Christiaan: "It is quite boozy."
Paul Hollywood: "It is strong, but you can get away with it with that. And actually I tried it with some of the cream on the outside and you do need that cream with the chocolate inside as well. Together, it's beautiful. And it really screams the Black Forest gateau as well. So I think you've done really well. Really well."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
