With excitement and a spoonful of nerves, the bakers enter the pressurised environment of the Bake Off tent for the very first time, and go whisk-to-whisk in their quest to be crowned South Africa’s best amateur baker.

Judged by Shirley Guy and Tjaart Walraven, episode one is all about cakes – starting with a Signature Bake challenge to create a perfect glazed Madeira loaf cake, followed by a Technical Bake challenge to make a bee sting cake, and finally the Showstopper challenge to create a black forest gateau.

The show is presented by Anne Hirsh and Lentswe Bhengu, viewers can enjoy an entertaining baking journey.

Who will be crowned Star Baker and who will be eliminated from The Great South African Bake Off tent?
