Three Devon-based bakeries try to impress judges Mich Turner and Peter Sidwell as they compete for a place in the regional final. A former Navy chef presents rum babas, a self-taught artisan baker rustles up some fennel and spinach bread, and a cake specialist prepares puff pastry, before all are challenged to create fudge-frosted choux eclairs.

Mich Turner and Peter Sidwell visit three bakeries in Somerset and Dorset. Two artisan chefs hope their garlic sourdough will impress and a mother-and-daughter duo create caramelised upside-down apple tarts under the watchful eyes of the judges, while a traditional baker struggles when challenged to incorporate goat's cheese into his food.

Three Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire bakeries come under the scrutiny of judges Mich Turner and Peter Sidwell, with two brothers rustling up lardy cakes, an artisan mother-and-son team attempting a Genoise sponge for the first time, and a French patissier taking on a British classic - sausage rolls.
