The third episode of the season raises the stakes as young bakers tackle the much-anticipated Bread Day challenge. With dough flying and ovens working overtime, the competition heats up in the iconic white tent. But who will rise to the occasion and prove they’re a cut above the rest?
This week, the junior bakers, aged between 9 and 12, face a double test of skill and creativity. First, the Technical Challenge, designed by the brilliant Ravneet Gill, tasks them with crafting skull-and-crossbones bread—a spooky twist that’s as intricate as it is demanding. Later, they’re unleashed on the Signature Challenge, where imagination takes center stage. Their mission? To sculpt the world’s biggest baddie out of bread. From mythical monsters to pop-culture villains, expect jaw-dropping creations that are almost too good to eat.
The series, now in full swing, showcases not only the raw talent of these budding chefs but also their unshakable determination. Chosen from thousands of hopeful applicants, these 16 junior bakers bring passion and personality to every challenge. Their youthful energy and boundless creativity light up the tent, proving that age is no barrier to ambition in the world of baking.
Guiding the chaos with charm and humor is none other than Harry Hill. His quick wit and encouraging demeanor keep spirits high, even when the dough doesn’t rise or a bake goes awry. Hill’s lighthearted commentary ensures there’s never a dull moment, whether he’s making the kids laugh or subtly teasing the judges.
Speaking of judges, Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill bring their signature blend of expertise and encouragement. Liam, a former Bake Off contestant turned baking superstar, offers relatable advice and celebrates bold flavors and ideas. Meanwhile, Rav’s technical precision and eye for detail challenge the bakers to refine their skills. Together, they strike the perfect balance between tough love and genuine support, helping the young bakers learn and grow with every challenge.
The heart of Junior Bake Off lies in its ability to mix competition with camaraderie. Despite the pressure, the bakers cheer each other on, share tips, and even lend a helping hand when needed.

Junior Bake Off Show Summary
Junior Bake Off is a British television baking competition in which young bakers aged 9 to 15 tackle a series of challenges involving baking cakes, biscuits, bread, and pastries, competing to be crowned Junior Bake Off Champion.
The series debuted in 2011 as a spin-off from The Great British Bake Off and is also produced by Love Productions. Four series of Junior Bake Off were broadcast on CBBC from 2011 to 2016. Following its parent series’ departure from the BBC in 2017, Junior Bake Off resumed with a fifth series in 2019 on Channel 4, with comedian Harry Hill as presenter and Prue Leith and Liam Charles as judges. The fifth series concluded on 22 November 2019. The show returned for a sixth series on 11 January 2021. In January 2021, it was confirmed that Junior Bake Off will return on Monday 10 January 2022 for its seventh series.
Format
Each series of Junior Bake Off includes 15 episodes. While The Great British Bake Off features three challenges per episode (signature, technical, and showstopper), Junior Bake Off includes only the technical and showstopper challenges. In the first four series, aired on CBBC from 2011–16, the format featured 40 young bakers aged 9 to 12 years old divided into 10 qualifying rounds or heats.[5] Each episode featured only four bakers, with one winner each episode and the other three eliminated. The winning baker from each heat were brought back for ‘Finals Week’ (divided into two semi-finals, followed by two finals, and then one grand final) which determined the winner.
The format was altered in 2019 when the series moved to Channel 4. The episodes were increased from 30 minutes to one hour, the number of bakers halved to 20 (16 in series 6), and the upper age range of the contestants increased from 12 to 15.[6] Instead of only four bakers taking part in each qualifying round, the bakers are divided into two groups of 10 each, with five eliminated from one group during the first five episodes, and five eliminated from the second group during the second five episodes. The remaining five bakers from each group are combined in the week-long finals, resulting in quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.[8] The ‘Star Baker’ award, given to the judges’ favourite baker in each episode, was not included in the CBBC version of the show but is a part of the Channel 4 format.
