"The familiar competition tent serves as the show's central staging area for a 67-minute Cake Week premiere packed with buttercream-driven challenges, isomalt sculptures, chunky necklaces, and theatrical humor. The episode opens with a Wizard of Oz parody featuring hosts Noel Fielding (as Dorothy) and Sandi Toksvig (as the Scarecrow) alongside judges Paul Hollywood (as the Tin Man) and Prue Leith (as the Cowardly Lion), and spotlights memorable contestants — Jamie (a Surrey student and potential underdog), Helena (a Spanish-born, Yorkshire-bred Halloween enthusiast), Michael (a creative but accident-prone theater manager from Newcastle), Michelle (a Tenby print shop administrator who brings eggs from her own farm), and David (a Yorkshire-based international health advisor responsible for an over-the-top gummy-worm-stuffed snake cake) — blending emotional moments, inventive showstoppers, and chaotic backstage antics." - Greg Morabito
