For their first signature challenge, the bakers were given 2 hours to make a Korean lunchbox cake: mini layered cakes with adorable decorations that are included as single servings in takeout containers. In the technical challenge set by Bruno, the bakers had 2 hours to bake a bolo de cenoura, a dessert inspired by the Brazilian carrot cake flavoured with orange juice and zest and puréed carrots, and decorated with chocolate curls and candied carrots.[6] For the showstopper, the bakers had 4 hours to make a homegrown cake, a cake that embodies a place they call home.[7]
For their signature challenge, the bakers were given 2 hours to make eight steamed buns: fluffy and pillowy buns that are stuffed or filled.

In the technical challenge set by Bruno, the bakers were tasked with making a prinjolata, a Maltese Carnival dessert, in 2 hours and 15 minutes. The dessert is made of lemon sponge cake, chocolate cookies, pine nuts, and amaretto buttercream in a marbled pattern to form a dome that is encased in a decorated torched Italian meringue. For the showstopper, the bakers had 4 hours to create a colourful cookie Carnival mask, taking inspiration from any carnival or festival.[9]
For the first ever Maple Week, the bakers had to make eight pudding chômeur, or "poor man's pudding", a dessert from Quebec with a cake-like batter in a maple sauce, for their signature challenge, in 2 hours. In the technical challenge set by Kyla, the bakers were given 2 hours and 15 minutes to bake a maple mousse tart, with a shortcrust pastry shell, and layers of maple syrup mousse, maple butter-walnut fudge, and raspberry jam.[10] For the showstopper, the bakers had 4 hours to create a maple brunch platter, with sweet and savoury bakes featuring maple. The bakers needed to make six servings of three different bakes, which must include one with a laminated dough, one quick bread, and one being the baker's choice.[11]
For the first ever Indulgence Week signature challenge, the bakers had to make six decadent mini cheesecakes in 2 hours and 15 minutes. In the technical challenge set by Bruno, the bakers had to bake six Dubai chocolate cookies, made with three different types of chocolate and stuffed with a pistachio and tahini paste and fried kataifi dough filling, in 2 hours and 15 minutes.[12] For the showstopper challenge, the bakers were given 4 hours and 15 minutes to create a layer cake wrapped within sponge cake with a detailed printed design.[13]
