More like Oh No.
Rosie is crafting needle-piped elderflower domes to top her blackberry pies.
She brought new and unused horse vaccine needles to pipe flowers into the elderflower jelly.
The more you know, Rosie!
Instead, they focused on a slightly unfinished decoration and the slightly damp matcha crust.
Michelles blueberry and white chocolate creme brulee pies will be topped with edible flowers.
Theyre very lovely looking but both judges want more blueberry flavor.
Davids custard pies will put all of the emphasis on style with flapper girl biscuit decorations.
Prue calls them exquisite and Paul extends his hand for the seasons second handshake.
I personally think he may have gotten away with something.
Does Michael seem particularly on edge to anyone else?
Priyas lemon and raspberry pies are decorated with sliced fresh fruit.
Paul does like the flavors, though.
Alices custard pies feature this recappers absolute least favorite flavor combination: orange and chocolate.
Prue asks, Is there booze in there?
but Paul points out that shes really just tasting the orange extract.
Sorry to disappoint, Prue.
Shivers
Should you make this at home?Yes!
Make it with lots of lemon and berries and decorate it with crabs and bunnies for Rosie!
Technical Challenge: Beignet Souffle18 fried choux balls filled with smooth raspberry jam and served with a sabayon.
Michael and David both start their choux over after one failed attempt.
Davids very tough and tiny beignets land him in last place with Michaels dark and raw beignets right behind.
Dang right, girl.
#RealMenCry #ManTears #Michael is making a strong return to the tent for the show stopper challenge.

His cake will be comprised of amaretto-soaked lemon sponges and frosted with an aromatic bitters buttercream.
What is it with Pina Coladas on this show?
Today, we have four.
Michelle is dedicating her cake to her sister in memory of one spectacular hen-do party in Liverpool.
Her Pina Colada cake will be decorated with 1920s impressionist style painting and a modern geode effect.
Hes hoping geometric chocolate decorations will really tie the cake together.
Her coffee liqueur sponges will be sandwiched around vodka swiss meringue buttercream and frosted with a dark chocolate ganache.
After a rough first day, Michael managed to produce a perfectly delightful blackberry cake.
Paul and Prue want a little bit more from the flavors but like the design quite a lot.
Prue and Paul find Henrys White Russian cake to be beautiful and dry.
But thats just, like, their opinion, man.
Davids Amaretto Sour cake has sunken into itself a little bit.
Prue finds it nice and lemony but Paul finds the buttercream grainy.
Alices Pina Colada cake is messy and clumsy but tastes delicious.
Priyas decoration looks rushed, but Prue loves the delicate flavor.
Inside, Paul does not like the coconut shavings and finds the texture a bit dry.
Stephs Pina Colada cake is nicely decorated and paul loves the lime sponges.
Paul seems genuinely surprised and impressed and calls it clever.
Should you make this at home?Sure, who doesnt love boozy cake?
(Besides David and Priya, I guess.)
This weeks star baker is Steph again!
And then the bad news.
I simply have to disagree and say that any of the last three weeks would have been better.
However, here we are being forced to say goodbye to Michelle and Helena.
