What happened in the quarter-finals of The Great British Bake Off?

The latest episode of The Great British Bake Off saw the five remaining bakers face off in a series of challenges as they vied for a spot in the semi-finals. The quarter-final theme was a nostalgic nod to the 1970s, where the contestants had to demonstrate their baking skills through a Signature Bake, Technical Challenge, and Showstopper.

For the Signature Bake, they had to make 30 profiteroles, showcasing both technique and flavor. In the Technical Challenge, they had to make a classic Banoffee Pie and saw Georgie emerge victorious. For the Showstopper Challenge, the contestants had to bake a retro gateau with at least two tiers, allowing them to display their creativity and technical prowess.

Despite their best efforts, it was Illiyin whose journey came to an end after her final cake crumbled under the pressure. Upon her elimination, Illiyin reflected on her time in the competition, saying that it was "exceptional."

"This is an exceptional competition, and to have been part of it was so special! Over and out, Bake Off!" the contestant said.

Meanwhile, Georgie was awarded the Star Baker title after consistently impressing the judges throughout the challenges. Her Banoffee Pie in the Technical Challenge and her showstopping gateau helped her stand out among the remaining contestants, securing her place in the semi-finals.
