For the signature, they are to make six identical snowy bombe Alaska tarts apiece, which must include a short crust pastry base, the filling of their choice, and homemade ice cream all topped with a meringue. For the technical, each baker is to make a pistachio kransekake shaped like a Christmas tree, the brief being that the tree must be comprised of exactly twelve rings. The consistency of the beaten egg whites and of the ground nuts are the keys to success. And for the showstopper, each baker is to make a cake evoking an icy winter wonderland. It must be of a centerpiece size and incorporate sugar work as those shards of ice. Written by Huggo See less
