This week, the remaining bakers were tasked with making eerie-sistible apple cake, smores and showstopping piñatas

Following the apple cake and smores challenges, the playing field was pretty level.

As a result, most of the bakers confessed their need to do well in the Showstopper challenge.

The contestants were asked to make a Halloween-themed hanging lantern filled with sweet treats.

"We're expecting eyeballs, witches hats, big noses," said Paul.

"They've got to decorate them too, and they have to do it exquisitely too," added Prue.

Janusz had Matt Lucas baffled by his decision to include actual creepy crawlies in his recipe, while others struggled to get their timings right to get everything done in time.

In the end, it was Syabira who took home Star Baker.

"Overall, it was Syabira that did best overall," said Paul.

"She's unstoppable, that's the long and short of it," added Prue.

When it came to who was going, it came down to just two bakers, Kevin and Dawn, who didn't manage to quite hit the mark.

Matt then revealed: "I'm sorry to say, the person leaving us this week is... Dawn."

Following her exit, she said: "Game over! I really don't want to shed tears over it. It's been one of the best experiences of my life. I'm really, really proud of what I've done. And I had fun. Such fun!"

The Great British Bake Off airs on Channel 4 in the UK. In the US, it's known as The Great British Baking Show, and streams on Netflix. Bake Off: An Extra Slice, hosted by Tom Allen and Jo Brand, airs on Fridays at 8pm on Channel 4.
