Kim-Joy (deep in preparation): "We've got the caramel here, and we've got the pears poaching here, and I'm making biscuits over here."
Voice-Over: "Kim Joy won't just be baking cakes."
Kim-Joy: "It's my little gingerbread house. I really like miniature things."
Voice-Over: "The smallest gingerbread house will sit atop crystallized ginger sponge with cream cheese frosting and salted caramel drizzle."
Kim-Joy: "Ginger's homely, and it makes you think of being at home. You can picture yourself in the house, and there's pears in the background, and they're kind of like trees."
Prue Leith: "The gingerbread house looks incredible. The attention to detail looks fantastic. "
Paul Hollywood: "That is the most beautiful texture cake. The flavor from the ginger and the powder is beautifully balanced, and it's got a nice warmth that comes through that is beautiful. Well done."
