The amateur bakers' pastry skills are scrutinised as they tackle tarts.

Amateur bakers have their skills tested to the limit. Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins present the second round, where the bakers' pastry skills are tested as they tackle tarts.

The second round of The Great British Bake Off, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, continues in the search for Britain's best amateur baker. Eleven bakers remain and this time their pastry skills are scrutinised as the bakers tackle tarts. Over two days the bakers will face three increasingly complicated challenges whilst trying to avoid a soggy bottom. 

Judged by acclaimed master baker Paul Hollywood and legendary cookery writer and baker Mary Berry, the bakers start with a signature bake: a quiche that says something about them. Next is the dreaded technical challenge where they are faced with baking a classic tarte au citron. Finally, our bakers have to deliver in bulk as they are asked to deliver 24 show-stopping sweet miniature tarts.

The pressure of pastry proves too much for some. Who will be named Star Baker and whose Bake Off journey will be over?
