The Great British Bake Off continued tonight (October 18) with bakers taking on Chocolate Week.
Another week of Bake Off usually means another baker must leave the Tent but this week, things were different.
This week, the remaining bakers were tasked with making a variety of bakes.
But was it enough to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith?
The art of chocolate.

Who was eliminated from The Great British Bake Off this week?
This week no baker was eliminated from Bake Off during Chocolate Week.
Paul Hollywood said it "wasn't fair" that a baker would leave after Tasha came close to being a contender for leaving the show.
Tasha pulled out of Chocolate Week after becoming unwell during the technical challenge and she went home.
Two bakers will leave the competition next week as a result.
Health first. Always.

We can confirm that Tasha has had to withdraw from Chocolate Week on Bake Off for medical reasons and will return in next week’s show. We can’t wait to see her back in the Tent and feeling much better. ❤️ #GBBO pic.twitter.com/lkvW9o3jeb
The first challenge for the week was for the bakers to create their own torte, a flourless cake.
Next up, each baker attempted to bake six individual cheesecakes with caramelised chocolate for the technical challenge.
Finally, the bakers were challenged to make their own edible chocolate box along with some moulded chocolates.
