Extreme Cake Makers - Episode Guide

No commission is too big for an extreme cake maker, and for sugar craft specialist Eloise Durrant the more challenging the better.

Elsewhere, Phil and Christine are embarking on one of their biggest and most ambitious cakes to date - a seven foot long cake that follows the theme of animated characters Wallace and Gromit and is estimated it will take over 400 hours to complete...

Elsewhere chocolatier Tracy Kindred has been asked to produce a four-tiered wedding cake covered in over 30 kilos of chocolate and decorated with hand painted, edible scenes from the bride and groom's lives together.

The popularity of baking has left us a nation clamouring to try it ourselves, but for those show-stopping cakes only a few can rise up to the challenge.

When it comes to extreme cake making you have to think outside the box, and for chocolatier Tracey Kindred the more imaginative the better. She's been tasked to produce a gruesome two foot tall wedding cake that pays tribute to the bride and groom's love of all things Gothic. With four tiers, copious amounts of chocolate wrapping and covered in hand painted Halloween themes, creating this cake could be a thing of nightmares... Also, in London Nastassja is producing a cake for an 11-year old to include the colours of the Nigerian flag, a hand-carved, sugar silhouette of the London skyline and a secret compartment for her favourite sweets.

At the heart of any extreme cakes lies a brilliant idea and, when it comes to dreaming up these original designs, 31-year-old Nastassja Lusengo knows the sky's the limit.
