That’s a very aesthetically pleasing display which is always going to earn you a few extra bonus points, not that she needed them given that the judges were thoroughly impressed with her conchas and praised her for having a good sense for what flavours go together. Maxy was also going for citrus flavoured conchas, hers being orange-flavoured and called “Bella Naranja” who I believe I went to university with Given some of the other aesthetic horrors that have been rendered on this show these are entirely inoffensive but Paul was being a little bit insufferable this episode because he had just come back from Mexico and like the guy you knew in sixth form who had his whole life philosophy changed when he went to Thailand for a month and now only wears hemp clothing, he was going to mention it at any opportunityīut it wasn’t all lost for Rebs because her conchas had a strong lemon flavour and the bread was very well made, it as just a case of going a little too heavy on the craquelin. Rebs wasn’t quite so lucky with her Lemon Conchas which didn’t get much height after being weighed down by her topping, however I really don’t think they looked as bad as everyone was making out Sadly for James it was a little bit of a case of style over substance with the chocolate and coffee flavours not really coming through, but his conchas did have a surprising amount of height given that they kept stressing the topping had to be “wafer thin” and James looked like he was about to tarmac a motorway As Concha literally translates to Shell, a name derived from the seashell-like pattern made by the craquelin topping, James was topping his coffee and chocolate conchas with tiny little sugar oysters which looked really cuteĪnd Paul naturally wasted no time in ripping them off like a 5 year old boy ripping the head off a Barbie to spite his sister

Moving INCREDIBLY swiftly on from the ~comedic~ sombrero adorned opening skit, Rebs and Abdul are back in the tent for Mexican Week of which the Signature Challenge is to make 12 Pan Dulce – a collective term for a variety of Mexican sweetbreads, with the most popular variety in the tent being Conchas.
