"The signature challenge certainly wasn't anyone's signature because who wants to make slice-and-bake cookies with a picture inside unless it's the Christmas tree ones that Pilsbury makes that you pick up at the local Piggly Wiggly. It's a great challenge, though, because it's one kind of dough just in different colors, so, while intricate, it is not impossible in the allotted time."
"In the U.K., ground beef is called "mince." However, a mince pie is not made out of hamburger. That would be a mincemeat pie. A mince pie is a Christmas-time delight (that I've seen more and more frequently in the U.S.) that contains a spiced mixture of dried fruits (and often alcohol because of the British) in the middle. Yeah, I don't get it either, but there you go."
Biscuit week presented slice-and-bake biscuit challenges requiring multiple colored doughs and precise assembly to reveal images when sliced. The technical task rewarded careful planning because the color work is intricate yet achievable within time limits. Colored dough made visual doneness difficult, causing many underbakes. Creative results ranged from oranges and cupcakes to a Millenium Falcon meant as a sailboat and ambiguous animal shapes. A British-to-American note clarified that "mince" means ground beef while a mince pie contains spiced dried fruits, often with alcohol. Leighton struggled with stress and underbaking, while Tom produced near-perfect bakes.
