Dan: "My dish is a riff on a black forest gateau. Maybe they were just trendy when I was growing up, but you just don't see them very much these days."

Voice-Over: "Despite being too young to remember the seventies as a boy, Black Forest Gateau was Dan's absolute favorite. He's making a vanilla cream topping and will decorate with intricate tempered chocolate."

Prue Leith: "I wasn't sure about the kirsch, but I could eat that with a great deal of pleasure."

Paul Hollywood: "Well, the decoration is absolutely excellent. Everything is very neat. You pipe very well. It's not too thick. Impressive. I think they look amazing. Good interior. It looks incredible. But when you get inside and you do hit that cherry and the topping, it's just a really nice cake. I can sit and eat the whole one."
