Trailer Synopsis

A selection of America's best amateur bakers compete in a series of themed challenges and eliminations as they look to be crowned America's Best Amateur Baker.

Episode 8 : Finals Week
January. 12,2017
This year's competition was bigger than ever, with twice as many weeks and twice as many challenges. Ten amateur bakers from across the country entered the tent, and now only two remain. The winner of this week will be named America's Best Amateur Baker. As always, the bakers will face three challenges: The Signature, The Technical and The Showstopper. But this week, the bakes will test the bakers' skills across a wide variety of disciplines. These are the most difficult challenges the bakers have faced so far, under the tightest time constraints, and, at this level, the judges will be looking at the tiniest of details, as they decide who walks away with the title. Family, friends and many familiar faces from the competition all gather for a large celebration party, where this year's winner of "The Great American Baking Show" will be announced.
Episode 7 : Patisserie Week
January. 05,2017
It's the semi-finals, and the bakers' stress levels are at an all-time high when they face three French pastry challenges and compete for a chance to make it to the final round. This week's Signature Challenge is all about precision as the bakers must make two-dozen Petit Four glacé-style mini cakes. The cakes may be small, but that just makes them that much harder to perfect. Next up, the Technical challenge, which throws the bakers for a loop when Johnny surprises them with a donut – the French Cruller. The bakers won't just need to master their dough; they'll also need to master the deep fryer. Then, in the Showstopper, it's Mille-Feuille, also known as the Napoleon. Layers of perfectly flakey puff pastry sandwiched with unique fillings. But getting it perfect in the short time frame will be difficult for all and the downfall for one.
Episode 6 : Custard and Meringue Week
December. 22,2016
In the bakers' Signature Challenge, they will tackle Crème Brûlée – a dozen perfectly silky custards hidden beneath a hard caramel topping with unique flavors like chestnut, apple, peanut, maple and fennel. In the Technical, Mary Berry shares one of her favorite dishes to ring in the New Year, the French dish, oeufs en neige – otherwise known as "eggs in snow." For the Showstopper Challenge, the bakers will make 24 petite pavlovas, a baked meringue creation from Australia and New Zealand. Everyone is on pins and needles, as the bakers won't know if they've achieved the classic marshmallow center until their pavlovas are sliced open during judging. With only three bakers continuing on to the semifinals, the slightest difference will be the factor in who stays and who goes home.
Episode 5 : Chocolate Week
December. 22,2016
A celebration of chocolate. As one of Johnny Iuzzini's passions and specialties, the pressure is on to impress both Mary and Johnny. For their very first Signature Bake, the bakers are tasked with creating a dozen molten lava cakes where mere minutes in the oven can result in a cake whose center flows like hot magna or has no ooey-gooeyness at all. Next is the Technical Challenge, where Johnny gives the bakers one of the most difficult challenges to date, tasking them to create a perfect assortment of delicious and decadent truffles. Finally, for their Showstopper Challenge, it's a naked, layered mousse cake full of soft, silky layers of flavorful mousse, built upon a baked foundation and topped with elaborate chocolate decorations. In the end, not everyone's desserts will rise to the occasion, and another baker will be eliminated from the competition.
 With only three bakers continuing on to the semifinals, the slightest difference will be the factor in who stays and who goes home.
Episode 4 : Pies and Tarts Week
December. 15,2016
First up, meringue pies. This week the bakers are whipping egg whites and lighting up their blowtorches to give their meringues toasted finishes, hoping their creations stand up – and out – to the judges. Next is the Technical Challenge, where Mary surprises the bakers with her recipe for Partridge in a Pear Tart. With no molds, the bakers must freeform their creations, and not everyone finds shape perfection. Finally, for their Showstopper Challenge, it's all about savory flavors with Hors D'oeuvre Tartlets. With ingredients like kimchi butter and southern grits, these bakers are going outside of the box to create delicious holiday treats.
Episode 3 : Bread Week
December. 08,2016
Beginning with the Signature Challenge set by Mary and Johnny, the bakers create a dozen perfectly sized dinner rolls incorporating unique flavors and spices, including those traditional to Portugal and India. Next up, The Technical Challenge, where the judges once again surprise the bakers – this time it's Johnny's Christmas Stollen, a traditional German Christmas fruit and nut bread. Finally, for their Showstopper Challenge, the competitors must create elaborate sculptures with bread. In the end, Mary and Johnny will decide which bakers create a masterpiece and which sculptors crack under the pressure.
Episode 2 : Cookie Week
December. 01,2016
In their Signature Challenge, the bakers tackle bar cookies, showcasing everything from compotes to crumbles. In the Technical, Johnny challenges the bakers with a cookie that must be baked twice – biscotti. Then, in the Showstopper Bake, the bakers build elaborate 3D Iced Cookie Scenes.
Episode 1 : Cake Week
December. 01,2016
For their very first Signature Bake, the bakers are tasked with making bundt cakes inspired by winter flavors. Next up, a Technical Challenge of Mary Berry's recipe for apple almond cake.
