What is the Great British Bake Off 2023 theme this week?
The semi-finalists will be taking on patisseries this week.
It's the semi-final on The Great British Bake Off, which means there are just four bakers left in the competition - and only three will make it to the final, battling it to be named the Ultimate Star Baker.
Last week saw Matty nail Party Week after he impressed the judges with his dishes. He even received a handshake for his sausage rolls during the Signature, and earned praise for his Technical and Showstopper bakes.
Unfortunately for one baker, it was time to leave the Great British Bake Off 2023 line-up, with Cristy being the eighth contestant to exit the tent.
This week, the bakers will take on patisseries, and we'll see which bakers will tackle the challenge head on or fall behind and face being eliminated.
Giving his thoughts on the remaining bakers, 2021 semi-finalist Jürgen Krauss told RadioTimes.com he thinks it'll be an "interesting semi-final".
"It's surprising that it arrived at such an even level. They are not the same, but they are kind of even in what they can produce," he said.
He added: "They all can produce fantastic stuff, they have different skill sets, they have different strengths, but they all have their areas where they have to be on their toes and they all have their areas where they really shine. So I think it's going to be an interesting semi-final."
So, what's on the menu this week?
