Cashew, Black Sesame and Apricot Frangipane Tarts
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging

Voice-over: "Christiaan's cashew and black sesame frangipane tarts were topped with apricot jam and apricot royal icing."



"I think they look all very even, and I like the design. But the frangipane top, honestly, it looks like fried mushrooms or something."


"The frangipane is filled with a little layer of apricot gelatinous, and then on top of that, we got a black sesame and cashew frangipane."


"The sesame is not really bringing anything to the party. Cashew gets lost. But, I mean, the flavour is okay."


"And the pastry is nice and crisp. I just think it looks a bit like sardine paté."

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.
