[Prue] Is that meant to be mousse or chocolate? It's supposed to be, yeah. Is it? That's like more like a ganache. -Your chocolate is too hard. -Yeah. The mousse is split. The dacquoise is over-baked. Yeah and the jelly is... The jelly's too rubbery. But besides that, brilliant. I like the design. You're the only one sort of to do a two -tier design. I just don't think you've organized the whole cake as a, as a one piece. No, I don't think the concept was right at all. No. [Paul] Beautiful. [Prue] Absolutely. Thank you. Straight out of a Parisian patisserie. Ah. And I'll tell you what I'm a hot stuff gardener and that is the most perfect Japanese poppy. Thank you. [Paul] Right. It's absolutely gorgeous. The raspberry, the chocolate mousse work beautifully well together. And then you've got that almost aromatic flavour coming from the jelly. Fantastic. All the layers are interesting. The poppy top is fantastic. And you know how to make Genoise, and you've made a perfect one. So it's a real triumph, lovely. Well done, Hermine. Oh the white chocolate ganache is delicious too. [Prue] It is. Take it away quickly. [Laughter] Throw it away before we find something to complain about. Thank you. Well done. [Hermine] I just can't believe it. I mean I was happy enough creating a jelly cake oh. And those comments, oh my god. I just can't believe it. [Marc] That went great didn't it? Bakers, I have got the great job of announcing who is star baker this week. Before I do that I just wanna say that showstopper was off the hook. It really was amazing so well done all of you. Now this week's star baker is... ..Hermine. Well done Hermine. Thank you. Well it falls to me then to tell you who's leaving us this week. It's someone who's been on an incredible journey, and I know that journey will continue after this show and the person who is leaving us this week is... ..I'm so sorry it's Marc. It's okay. Cheers guys. -Give us a hug. -Cheers mate. -Enjoy the sun. -Yeah. Thank you Prue. [Prue] I'm sorry Marc. No I knew I'd reached my limit this week. I'm feeling, um, surprisingly okay actually. I'm gonna miss you. Yeah you too. [Marc] I mean I've come to the Bake Off to kind of face my anxieties, to face failure, to face all those things that as people we're quite uncomfortable about dealing with. But I've definitely learnt a bit more about myself and maybe from what a lot of people have said it's just to give myself a bit more credit as well which I, I don't.
