Episode synopsis
The theme of Episode 2 is “Pastries.” The remaining nine bakers take on the challenge of creating pastries such as pies and tarts. Under the watchful eyes of the judges, the bakers showcase their original recipes and compete to prove their skills! In the “Technical Challenge,” the bakers tackle tart-making based on their recipes, but some admit, “I don’t know what the right answer is...” Will we see sweet cream puffs or bold, spicy pies emerge!? Will the judges’ evaluations be lenient or harsh?
About Bake Off Japan
10 amateur bakers from Japan compete in three challenges per episode, baking sweets, pastries, cakes, and bread according to a theme or to the instructions of the two judges, who are themselves professional bakers. Every episode ends with the announcement of a Star Baker, the baker who performed exceptionally well that episode, and with an unfortunate (and usually tear-filled) elimination. At the end of the show, one very talented home baker is declared the winner.
