Episode 1: Cake Week To celebrate the tenth season, the signature challenge is an homage to the technical challenge from the show's first season: the bakers had to make their version of a Battenberg cake in 2 hours. In the technical challenge, the bakers had 2 hours to bake a Nanaimo bar cheesecake. The dessert reimagines a Nanaimo bar as a cake with a brownie base, vanilla custard cream cheese filling, chocolate ganache topping, and decorated with tempered chocolate. For the showstopper, the bakers were given 4 hours to make a cake inspired by the number 10.
