Week 1 in the tent brings 13 new bakers together to test their cake skills. The judges are looking for perfect mini cakes, a tangy technical, and a home baked showstopper.

It's Biscuit Week, and the bakers kick off with illusion macarons in the Signature, before producing a fruity favourite in the Technical. And in the Showstopper, they put their creativity to the test by making a 3D mask entirely from biscuits.

It's Dessert Week and the bakers get all steamed up in the Signature, tackle a classic lemon meringue pie in the Technical, and for the Showstopper are tasked with creating a sponge cake with a surprise inside.

It's Bread Week, and the bakers put their stamp on a classic pizza in the Signature and get in a twist with a classic pastry in the Technical. Finally, the bakers tackle a showstopping Smörgåstårta, a decorative Danish sandwich cake.

It's the semi-final and the perfect time to test the remaining bakers' abilities in patisserie. There are mini charlottes in the Signature that demand precision, a vertical challenge in the Technical, and finally an opulent Swedish showstopper.

Halloween has come early as the remaining bakers tackle three terrifying challenges. There's a seasonal Signature in the form of an apple cake, followed by a s'more-ish Technical and, in the Showstopper, they create a Halloween piñata.

It's Custard Week and the bakers put their twist on floating islands in the Signature, tackle a summer staple, and make custard the star and basis of a showstopping set gateau.

It's Pastry Week, and the bakers are tasked with making vol-au-vents in the Signature and a delicious savoury snack in the Technical, before creating a showstopping 3D pie-scape depicting their favourite childhood story.

It's the final, and the last remaining bakers are tasked with making a perfect picnic for the Signature, and for the Technical, a summer classic. And in the final Showstopper, they must create a baked celebration of our planet. Who will be crowned the winner of Bake Off 2022?

The bakers explore authentic Mexican bakes, as they put their twist on the sweet bread pan dulce for the Signature, tackle a Mexican street food staple in the Technical, and make their own showstopping version of the milk-soaked tres leches cake.
