Junior Bake Off is a British TV baking competition series where forty young bakers tackle a series of baking challenges including the art of baking cakes, biscuits, bread and pastries all competing to be crowned "Junior Bake Off Champion", with all their bakes being judged by two leading chefs.
It is a spin-off from the main series, The Great British Bake Off and is broadcast on CBBC.

In this episode the four finalists are put on the spot with a knowledge test, a series of difficult questions and practical challenges. They are split into two teams where they must work together to bake for a glamorous event; the fifth anniversary party for London's West End musical Wicked.
The finalists must bake two of their own recipes for judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and a party of invited friends and family.
A second series began on 11 November 2013 on CBBC. Chef James Martin replaces Hollywood as judge in this series of Junior Bake Off.
