Episodes -- Episode 5 : `` Desserts ''
Episode five aired on June 26 , 2013 . The theme of the episode was sweet baked goods . For the signature bake , the bakers must make 8 individual custards , either sweet like a crème brûlée , or using a more savory recipe . They had 90 minutes to finish the task . In the technical bake , the challenge was to bake a chocolate soufflé , however . As the soufflé can fall within minutes of coming out of the oven , the start time for the bakers was staggered so that each bake can be judged immediately after it was baked . The bakers were each given an hour and 45 minutes . For the final challenge , the bakers were required to produce a layered dessert featuring meringue in five hours . [ 19 ]
