Flour Power

In this episode we're visiting The Old Mart Resource Centre in Maud, Aberdeenshire. On the former site of one of the UK's biggest cattle markets, this resource centre provides a support network for vulnerable people in the local community. It houses a GP practice, social workers, housing professionals, voluntary organisations and community groups. Public health co-ordinator Calvin, community mental health nurse Lesley, mental health area co-ordinator Don and admin support assistant Suzanne go up against each other for the Flour Power trophy. With a strong baking culture already established in this workplace, the competition is red hot! Suzanne, with 30 years of baking under her belt, has plumped for a chocolate beetroot cake, while Lesley is using fresh fruit, nuts and pineapple flowers to make her hummingbird cake. Don is also knee-deep in chocolate, producing a traditional chocolate cake topped with homemade fudge. Last but not least, Calvin attempts one of the most technically challenging bakes of the series - macarons. Unluckily for him, today's guest judge Suzanne Horne runs her own patisserie that specialise in this tasty treat, so he will have his work cut out to impress. Alongside Suzanne is series judge Nichola Reith. Once all the workmate's creations are revealed, tasted, judged and scored, just who will win the prestigious Flour Power trophy?

About Flour Power:

This entertaining new series pits cake-baking colleagues against each other in the ultimate office competition - the battle to be crowned the best baker in the business.

From designers to distillers, teachers to charity workers, amateur bakers from all walks of life come together to craft their best cookies, scones, cakes and brownies.

But this is full scale workplace warfare, and they'll need all their skill to prove they can handle the heat.

Once the dough has risen and the dust has settled, who will take home the Flour Power trophy?
