Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Voice-over: "Christiaan's speculaas spiced pastry will be filled with layers of almond paste, poached quince, and his favorite delicately spiced pumpkin."
Christiaan: "I'm adding a bit of cloves. I only use a tiny bit because it's quite overwhelming. So you want to quite nicely spice, like quite nicely balanced."
"Hey, Christian. First off, I think it looks great. Looks very autumnal."
"The color is beautiful."
Christiaan: "It has got a layer of almond paste in the bottom. There's a layer of poached quince. And then we've got a pumpkin pie filling."
"The pumpkin filling is just a little liquid, but that is perfect pastry. It is absolutely short as anything."
"Quince, pumpkin and marzipan. It blends beautifully well together. And the spice levels are perfect as well."
"Well done."

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.
