This week, in the quarter final, the theme for this week were bakes that were free (e.g. gluten free, dairy free).

The bakers are challenged in the technical bake to make a Dacquoise which consists of three layers; coiled meringue, coffee custard and a hazelnut praline top. For the showstopper, the bakers are pushed out of their comfort zones and asked to create novelty vegetable cakes which must be dairy free.

Controversy

Before the series started, there was speculation Paul Hollywood would not appear in the show after his marriage broke down.[18][19] Mary Berry, however, was claimed to have supported Hollywood over rumours of his possible sacking by BBC; and the BBC denied the rumours and said that his job was safe.[20]

During the series, there were accusations of Paul Hollywood's favouritism towards Ruby Tandoh,[21] and personal attacks on Tandoh by various people including the chef Raymond Blanc.[22][23][24] Both Paul Hollywood and Ruby Tandoh denied the accusation.[25][26]

Ruby Tandoh has written three books, Crumb: The Baking Book, published on 25 September 2014, Flavour: Eat What You Love in 2016[29] and Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want in 2018.[30] She took half a year out from the university after the show, but has returned to complete her philosophy and history of art course at University College London.[31] She wrote a column on baking for The Guardian.[32]

Beca Lyne-Pirkis presented a Welsh language cookery show Becws for S4C starting 11 September 2014.[33][34]

Glenn Cosby left teaching, and launched his own touring stage show Bake it Big.[35][36]
