Overview

This time, a birthday cake reaches new heights, as new extreme cake maker Zoe makes a skydiving boy with an edible parachute for a 10th birthday party. Sculpted from chocolate fudge cake, the whole thing balances on one tiny support to help give the illusion this cake is floating on air. In Lancashire the pressure is on for Suzanne as she tackles a modern asymmetric wedding cake for an old family friend. Full of details personal to the bride and groom, the four tiers feature more than 100 navy blue ruffles, gold leaf and hand piped lace motifs, alongside an edible spray of sugar flowers to match the bride's bouquet. Former tattoo artist-turned-baker Ben takes on one of his toughest commissions to date, as his friend asks him to recreate a favourite 'Day of the Dead' skeleton tattoo in cake form, to mark the opening of his new taco bar. Working in just black and white, Ben struggles to turn a stylised 2D image into a stunning two-foot high 3D cake in time for the party.
