This is followed by the technical challenge, daunted by a shroud of gingham, the bakers have no idea what they will be asked to bake. Usually provided with a simplified version of either Prue or Paul's recipe, the bakers must attempt to provide an exact match to the creation asked of them along with the comedy guidance of new Bake Off host Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding. Each episode will then be finished off with the showstopper, where the contestants are set a large task which also has to show off their personality within the bake.
