Cristy's Cherry and Chocolate Torte
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Cristy: "So I'm making a cherry brandy cream filling. When I was younger, my mum, after Sunday lunch, used to always buy a black forest gateau, so I got the inspiration from that."
Voice-over: "Recreating her favourite childhood flavours, Christie's almond, chocolate and cherry tart will be updated with a cherry brandy chantilly cream and finished with a white chocolate collar and intricate decorations."
Prue Leith: "It's a little bit messy where the collar joins the cake, because you want that nice and smooth. But, do you know what? It still looks extremely inviting."
Paul Hollywood: "The cake is a little bit dry and very crumbly. I do think you need more cherries, more cherry brandy, more chocolate. It's got no real flavour."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
