A less-than-perfect smørrebrød (open sandwich), a technical bake of aebleskiver (spherical apple pancakes) and a showstopper of kagekone (a celebration 'cake' made from decorated Danish pastries) saw French baker Manon exit the tent on Danish Week.

Meanwhile, there was also puzzlement from some quarters at the choice of Ruby rather than Briony as Star Baker.
