Candice: "I am doing two different meringues. One of them, I'm adding white caster sugar, and the other one will have golden caster sugar."
Vocie-Over: "Her two different meringues will make three tiers of pavlova filled with prosecco soaked strawberries, mango curd, gold dusted fasalis and glittered pistachios. Then there's a fourth tier, inspired by the tiny crown of Queen Victoria."
Mary Berry: "You've chosen to do quite a lot of different things. You've got to do it all in the time."
Paul Hollywood: "I think it looks great. I was a bit worried about this little crown on the top, how you were going to get it off the moulds, but you managed to get it off okay. It looks impressive and I love the way you've got so many flavors there."
Mary Berry: "I didn't think you'd finish, but you did."
Paul Hollywood: "Oof. You can actually feel the texture of the meringues all the way down. Oh, the way it's holding is quite impressive. It's actually staying in one piece. And what a piece of meringue that is. Wow. Your curd. Lovely. The meringue, it's got a lovely softness in the middle. There's so many textures in there and the flavors are quite sharp. And you've got the nuts in there as well, which adds something to it. Wonderful."
