They not only have to bake robust and perfectly flavoured biscuits but they also need to construct their 'moment', if they are going to make history and make it into the quarter-finals.

The second batch of bakers to whip up a storm are Evie, Billy, Shriyana and Nigel. Their baking knowledge and skills are put to the test when they are asked to follow Nadiya's surprise recipe for shortbread peanut butter squares. The shortbread squares need to be perfectly uniform in size with even layers, but which young baker will demonstrate the most precision to make it into the top two? Then they are asked to bake from the heart with a showstopper birthday cake for somebody they love. This bake brings out the best in the bakers as they have to think not just about the flavours and decoration their loved one would like, but also what could win them a place in the quarter-finals.

The first quartet of junior bakers enter the tent for two exciting baking challenges - and aiming for the first of 10 quarter-final places.
