 Two bakers pitted against each other in a fiery kitchen challenge both hoping to be crowned DCU's best baker Welcome to the great DCU TV bake-off 24 hours ago we provided the bakers with a brief for their first challenge their second challenge However, it means a total mystery as they'll both be put to the test on their baking skill set So no further ado less than on the bakers How are you feeling about the challenge? I'm a little excited To be cake The verb is to be Emma Binkers all of the utensils that you need for your first challenge are laid out on the table The first challenge is the signature challenge and this week it's cupcakes You will have one hour to complete the challenge. So use this time wisely. That's a block. Thank you I'm in the first challenge Too bad, it's gone quite well actually So what twist do you decided to put on yours? I'm gonna do a resume and watch out for the twist You're gonna make sauce all of that? No And how do you think you'll manage with the time? Completely well so far I think yeah 14 minutes, you're feeling confident I'm at the moment It's looking delicious already Thanks What about you Emma, what twist have you got on yours? I decided to go with a pumpkin one I mean he made Dap a tiny bit But hopefully it will cause it will be a long time in a minute So we'll see Right, okay Okay, well best of luck, we still have 48 minutes So it's looking good I'll leave you to it, okay? It smells disgusting Don't panic anyway So there's plenty of time to store it out Just get that sugar in there The only way to expect it It's gonna be clean because I have to want to speak for themselves Well they sound absolutely delicious As on their own So I'm not expecting too depth of them tonight What about you Emma? I'm doing a crew of cheese ice-cream Because it compliments the cupcake And I had to differ it after the sugar Did all those plan out for that? I was wondering why it tasted so good You're gonna turn it okay? I think so I'm gonna try and make it on me Yeah Okay, sounds exciting And you have 35 minutes left The challenge didn't go too bad They rose And the icing went well But they're a little bit burnt I tried taking off some of the burnt but sure I have to wait and see After the first challenge I don't know It was going pretty well Up until I realised I forgot sugar Then I added in the sugar thing Just smooth sailing but I just didn't have enough time to cool down I think Emma's getting done good They didn't rise as much as mine So hopefully that'll be the one winner I don't know He's looked a lot better because His were a bit more cool However, they weren't burnt Coming out of the oven a few of them So I don't know Might taste a bit bad I think the next challenge I'm not sure we just did buns So maybe like bread or something I don't know I don't know, there's a bit of mixed Thoughts about it Some people were saying pastry Just as this is the first dish Which is the cupcakes Please write them So these ones here Like Like look at this On the side here It's over spilled there They're very flat There's no real consistency With them Because some of them have loads of icing on them So I don't know What the baker was doing with that It's bloody insane Yeah That's even extra Very cosy The bit burnt Bit burnt Once you get past the crisp on top The inside of it is lovely and moist It's not too moist I don't know It's a bit dry I don't like the crust You don't like the crust They're asking something inside it So judges, can you please reveal your scores For bacon one I want to give the first cake six Because I think it's flavour is a lot nicer Even if it wasn't consistent I think they're inconsistent So I give it five The cupcakes They weren't cooked all the way through And the icing on top of them was different than usual So I'm giving them a two They were too soggy And they just don't taste that much anyway So judges can you please So judges, can you please reveal your scores For bacon number two I gave the cupcake number two a three Because I didn't like the icing And it was also slightly burnt I really like the icing So I gave it a number eight Same thing, the icing on top is very sloppy And they were a little bit burnt But they had lovely flavours So I'm giving them a five I gave them a seven because they're about cooked And the last one, they get tasty So your next challenge is the skill test And I can now reveal What the challenge is Sugar Cookies I have the recipes here We have an error to complete them So off you go Time starts now They went pretty bad for me Mine tasted better It didn't look as good Potato potato When I saw it first I was actually quite happy I thought it would be easier than it was I think it was pretty easy Just Jake messed up And he put in too much egg Or too many eggs I don't know, the icing was weird Because we both had completely different consistencies About icing, so we didn't know which one was right Jake got on pretty f*** Because he put in too many eggs But it looked great at the end It looked rather Christmassy I do think she got on well Which secures me to say it But um Then she fixed it, so that doesn't matter either Um Yeah, so I'm very nervous Judges here The Sugar Cookies from the second challenge The skills test They're all coming and stuck together I like the consistency and shape The colours are nice That's really the layer With you it's very lazy though With this one I mean, what's What's going to be about this one Someone's going to get more than someone else So I don't like that Whereas with these ones it's more evenly spread And I agree with you I don't understand what they're going for With the DCU TV It's just It's kind of sloppy again A bit more original But still Let's start with this one Crunchy Yeah, it's really frungy Yeah A bit dry I think Yeah There's a cookie though Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking There's not much sugar It doesn't taste that sweet It's okay I think it's like If it was a savory biscuit It wouldn't need the icing The icing is making it more of a confectionary I think it's okay It's not great Sure that is So judges Can you please reveal your scores for Bakern 1 Yeah For the first contestant I'll show you a cookie batch I split it in with 2 crunches I'm going to enter Pretty much the same I didn't like that there was too much icing So I'm going to go with 2 They're a bit too crunchy But they're still nice So judges Can you please reveal your scores for Bakern 2 For the second batch I gave it a 4 The presentation and they're also slightly burnt Of the taste of my food These ones were better There was a better consistency with the icing And I liked the crunch 7 You've had a great DCU TV bake-off history One baker received 37 points The other received 39 points I can now reveal That the winner is With 39 points A voucher for Domino's Well done Are you happy?
