- Let’s whip up a show-stopping croquembouche in 50 minutes... said no one, EVER! In this episode, we’ve taken the ‘pass it on’ game to a new, relentless level and challenged the boys to produce a croquembouche, a French dessert consisting of choux pastry puffs piled into a cone and bound with threads of caramel. What could possibly go wrong?
This episode was filmed before lockdown
We used the Crispy Cream Puffs recipe from our Deserts in Duvets book, if you want to look at more recipes from Desserts in Duvets, you can find ‘em all on the Sorted Club: Books app. Find out more here: bit.ly/3bBGUJs

Mike remembering to put the nozzle in the piping bag before the choux pastry is what we call growth
Totally agree 👏🏻
Chef Lanlard would be proud!
Jamie on the other hand...
Luckily it ended up being nobody's problem
I know, we’re getting to the point he may have to change teams.
Janice’s commentary was 10/10 today “Yay, we broke him!” and “Despite our history James, please be careful.” 😂😂
I loved the broken Mike part!
What is the history between Janice and James?
@@Fleary233 You need to watch the video when they make Harry and Meghan's wedding cake 😂😂
@@taylorcarter831 I just did and I still don't get how that ties in with this joke ):
@@xfrozn I've read a couple versions in the comments in various videos. James and 'Janice' apparently had a sordid affair and it ended badly. Or James and 'Janice' went out on a date and James never called 'Janice' after.
Can we discuss the “most likely to burn” individual actually managing to burn himself in this challenge?🤦🏻♀️🤣
My favorite part is when the timer goes off and Jamie, now off-stage, realizes his mistake
Oh no! XD
Janice: "Barry, very smartly, puts a timer on to inform the others how long the profiteroles need to cook."
Me: Is this foreshadowing
I thought of it more like a subtweet. Didn’t know which one it would be @ tho...
I thought Barry would forget there's a timer going and accidentally take his phone with him when he left. The next best thing happened when Jamie promptly put it aside.
@@Zyquux Jamie routinely pays no attention to anyone else. He's convinced he's the comedy star of the show, which makes him an extremely bad team player, because he's not.
@@AlanHope2013 EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!
@@Zyquux And then Jamie hears it going off during Ebber's turn from the other side of the wall.
If the phone was locked, maybe the timer wasn't showing and he thought it was accidentally left behind?
How? HOW? Did Jamie give himself the highest score of the bunch? I am in awe of his self confidence
He should bottle that stuff.
i aspire to have his confidence
@@SortedFood he'd probably overcharge for it
@@SortedFood i have an hilarious idea have barry give 2 normals a challenge where they have to cook one thing as another thing like how he made waffle pizza and the chefs have to eat it, lastly this could have a curveball of also being recipe less
Actually, with that confidence... He should stop botteling. ;p
My husband is a chef and when James was assembling the tower he said "See, that's how you can tell he's a chef - he's yelling ow ow ow & burning himself - and getting the job done anyway." Chef to Chef props, James!
That’s so true I was making a creme brûlée where I work and some of the sugar got on my finger and I still made sure it was good and didn’t drop it
Omg, melted sugar is basically diy napalm. I got some on my wrist once and tried to wipe it off and just smeared it up my forearm. Worst mistake. I regretted that one for a while.
@@giannidescalzo2101 The other instinct, to try and shake the hot sugar off yourself, doesn't help either. It just makes the sugar harden faster on your skin and burn more.
It really is the stuff of the devil.
Could have used a tool like a spoon and/or the tray of icewater tho... xD
guees i have some cheff qualities as well then since i can handle hot things fairly well comes from my tendency to check if the oil is hot by dipping my finger in funny enaugh never got burned from that thou i did wipe the oil off right away
"Yay, we broke him."
"This is how you get ants."
Janice this week * chef's kiss *
She made me laugh out loud twice in a public area
I like the recent Pass it On challenges more because of her sass.
The fun fact is that Janice is in fact Mike doing a voice over. Mike voiced over himself and said "yay we broke him."
Really??? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
he scored himself EIGHTY FOUR POINT EIGHT PERENT. THATS AN A
This one absolutely deserves a React video, just to see how everyone reacts to Jamie's part of the cooking
Just James reaction would be the best
And the watching of Mike internally implode
Yesss!! completely agree. We need to like this comment so they see it
This was one of my favorite episodes lately. Even I just watching was tensing up in hopes they would make it hahah
YESSS
I haven't laughed this hard since the cloud egg... The look on everyone's faces when Jamie said he put the filling in the freezer was priceless.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
same
Especially Ben's face LOLLLL
I had to go back and watch the cloud egg video. I have tears streaming down my face. 🤣🤣
@@blondeshort906 which one was the cloud egg? I've seen it once but i have forgotten
@@gigian1000 Think it might have been food trends? Forgot the actual title, but pretty sure it was concerned with food trends.
6:02 is nobody gonna talk about how barry literally yeeted some chocolate across the room in the last three seconds of his turn lmaoooo
would absolutely love to see a reaction video for this one
"That's how you get ants" SENT me
Barry: we need some chocolate
YEET!!
The Archer reference literally killed me
@@satitlertritsumpun8930 Snacking chocolate!
Yewh, I want a reaction video for this one lol
James: *destroys his fingertips* "I'm so glad a normal did not have to do that"
Gosh, that was rather sweet! Careful James, your grumpy is slipping :P
Chefs have asbestos fingers.
It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. Hahaha.
@@wwaxwork They work against boiling water not molten sugar. Can confirm.
Chefs hands are stupid tough
@@incidentlyaniguana2193 mine work well agaist hot oil as well
“Putting all history aside, please be careful James.” Good to know that what happened between James and Janice is still canon 😂
It's the ship that will sail forever
What happened between them? :O
Adeen see the baking the royal wedding cake video
@@adeen5438 he took her on a date ( drinks on the rooftop of the wallsly then a walk by the themes ), they had a fondle in an uber hall and then the love rat wouldn't call her back
choco coco fudge I thought it was “in the Uber home”
The intro for Pass It On gets me SO. PUMPED. Every time
💪🏻
WHERE'S THE DISH
It’s not just me then
THIS SHOULD BE REALLY OBVIOUS
"Oh dear, oh dear"... makes me feel all warm and gooey in the middle
Ben's face went on a whole journey while Jamie was talking about the filling.
Mike: Gives himself an 8 when he goes all out doing his best
Barry: "I didn't mess it up so yeah, a 9"
Well in Barry’s mind, he starts at 10 and takes points off based on how bad he did
Honestly they all contributed, so it worked, so Barry was right when he said they should all get a 10 😂
@@elizabethashley42 they should all get a 10, except for Jamie, he should get an 8.48.
James literally burned the shit out of his hands and gave himself a 6.
"Janice" mocking Jamies 8.48 is top comedy. Well done.
i couldnt stop laughing at that part 😂 had to rewind it like 10 times 😂😂
Lesson learned: They just need a massive challenge and BOOM they're suddenly a team.
And direction: aka-make this dish
Unlike the old pass it on where they had different visions
Who knew! 🤷♂️
@@clarissalin7212 This is very true! ONE direction seems to work!
@@SortedFood Didn't One direction broke up a few years ago?
Why? Just why?😢😂😂
Janice: "Yay we broke him"
I literally laughed out loud at that.
"84.8%, that's an A."
*American-flavored confusion*
God I wish.
That would also be a 1st in University
British exams are generally tougher than American ones, with more material to cover. This helps distinguish the top pupils better than the American system where 100% is reasonably achievable.
@@adamrobinson6951 well when your student to teacher ratio is higher in the u.s. youd expect this.
@@adamrobinson6951 I don't know what american exams you are talking about. I had several exams where professors had to curve 30-40% to get the class to an 80% average
Barry’s reaction when he understood what they were making is PRICELESS
You saw the moment exactly where his brain broke lol
😂 poor Baz
He certainly lived up to his reputation for "calmness."
mike rating himself an 8 is growth! we love that self esteem
I keep coming back to this episode, it's simply the perfect storm: it's one of the hardest things they've had to do in a pass it on, imo, and yet they did amazingly, everyone was thinking what they need to do and what needs to be done after them and the result was lovely! And seeing them all realize what they had to cook never gets old 😆
Bless James, literally burning himself with boiling hot caramel and feeling relieved that a normal didn't have to do it, yet STILL only gives himself a 6?!
How sweet to watch this:
Confusion, Mike bargaining with butter so it will melt faster, screams, breakdowns, bad decisions, Ben somehow calmly spending his ten minutes rescuing everything, James making it look pretty while squealing, and overall, great entertainment.
And let's not forget Ben putting failsafes everywhere
A great video to uplift people's spirits in this current climate 😀
Mike: im going to put a nozzle in there because I'm a nice person
Jamie: (forgets to put nozzle) Thats somone else's problem ( continues filling the bag)
8.48!
Ebbers: doesn't look in the freezer😂
@@TheArunkumaar turns out it wasnt someone else's problem in the end.
James said that "I'm so glad a normal didn't have to do that..." right after he burned himself several times with sugar. Such a great guy 😭😭😭
Two things above normal entertaining in this: Jamie's clapping in respect and surprise at Mike and Barry, and the laugh in the blooper is elation. Great, great video guys, and damn impressive result for 50 minutes :-)
Watching each of the normals go "oh cool a pastry" before the look of horror washes over them as they realise what they are making was the highlight of the video
Whoever edited mike's meltdown i love you and i think you're the best person ever
That would be... Mike!
Mike was the hero of this whole challenge.
Am I the only one who thinks the most iconic line in the intro is James' "where's the dish?!"
💯
"Ben it's not worth it" in the main intro as well.
wait... which pass it on is that from?? might need to watch it again..
Mike screaming at the ingredients is pretty up there as well! Haha.
Mike yelling, "This should be obvious!" Is what gets me!
The look on the chefs' face when they discovered Jamie had made cream filling and put it in the freezer was PRICELESS. Jamie flipping Ben endless birds when he learnt that James had used his caramel was a complete and utter MOOD
We love Barry just YEETING the chocolate onto the stove😂
That 'ooh, cream!' is such an Aziraphale reaction.
Sorted as Good Omens characters would be deadly funny
Barry's rapid descent from reasonably confident to frantic when he realised what the dish was, which ultimately results in him throwing chocolate across the room ... priceless!
"Yay we broke him" 😂 The frantics of pass it on makes it amazing 🥰
“Don’t do this at home” look, quarantine is getting dark, but I’m never going to get to the ‘shoving my hands into hot caramel and making a highly complicated pastry dish’.
Yet. If we’re still here in August then things may change.
And in the space of 50 minutes too 🤦
This is probably because I'm trained for this, but outside of maybe the actual pastry this isn't that hard. Pate a choux is a relatively simple dough, then just make a simple caramel to assemble.
I'm definitely thinking of making a crocembouche (not how you spell it) for christmas
This comment made me laugh way too hard, ty 😂
@@concaveUsurper I agree! It's basically churro dough lol. I've made actual profiteroles before and wasn't crazy about the filling I chose but it was easy 🤷🏾♀️
We’re going to need a reaction specifically for this episode
"I'm so glad a normal did not have to do that." This might be the sweetest thing James has ever said. lol
Barry and James scored themselves six. Those two are the most productive in this video. Now I understand how Pass It On score works. 🤣
*sad Mike noises
Mike did a lot of work in this lol
The next person should rate the kitchen when they arrive
14:12 Ben went through all five stages of grief within those 10 seconds
1. Confusion
2. Fear
3. Realization
4. Anger and grief
5. Amusement
Best Pass it On yet and that's saying something! Everyone's reactions were hilarious but I've gotta say that Janice was the true MVP of this episode
16:12 i just love looking at mikes face while james was talking, he literally wouldve thrown himself over the table had he said the other bit
Full-on Category 5 Huttlestorm.
Indeed!
Jamie: Gotta make a croquembouche in 50 minutes so let me waste 1 and a half of them applauding the other boys
Also Jamie: **aggressively drinks custard**
We love a consistent King! 😂😂♥
i was in stitches the entire time. James's nervous giggles during his entire turn made it even better. well done, boys!
“YAY WE BROKE HIM.” I choked LOL
i think every time janice says something sarcastic I lose it.
When Mike started I thought “aw man that’s no fun if they’re going off a recipe and giving clues to one another” and then Barry came in and panicked the whole time and others missed what was right in front of them and all was right in the pass it on world.
The Yin and the Yang.
Ive seen the croquembouche episode on masterchef australia where they were professionals by any other name at that point, had advice from a french master baker who is considered literally the best in the world, a full step by step exact recipe to follow that he provided and if I remember correctly a two hour clock.
Getting anything close with five people, the first three of which are at most advanced home cooks, very limited communication between them, and a fifty minute clock is amazing even if they had a full recipe to work from.
@@PhillipSievers In a later season someone made a mini croquembouche for entry into the top 24, and they only have 60 minutes for that task.
@@daasbuffy Ah but it was one chef from beginning to end still, was it not?
@@saint-cetacean agree, this matters a lot more than people would guess I'm sure, they will have also practiced the recipe numerous times and got it down to a science. They will also be definitionally exceptional cooks to get invited to try and get into the main show. I'm not saying this is an impossible task, but that someone did it with full preparation and practice time ahead of the task and they still took longer than the sorted guys only further emphasises how difficult an ask this was.
Getting the rolls made, filled and on a plate with caramel with just 50 minutes is a big ask. There was no margin of error as it needs all three of these elements to be the right dish.
I'd even go so far as to say any change in order whatsoever, except maybe swapping the chefs, and it will be a fail. They were all perfectly placed to maximise the chances of success.
I love Mike and Barry's sheer panic that actually led to them being pretty damn productive, only for Jamie to come in and ignore EVERYTHING and leave NO CLUES. Pass it ons never fail to entertain.
@@TeachingNaturall in another pass it on Jamie got salty when some didnt leave a clue that the honey comb was in the fridge. Then he goes and does it himself.
@@TeachingNaturall Phone timers should still show on lock screen, but you do need to briefly press the side button. And he didn't make a usable filling. He put it in the freezer instead of the fridge, and it wouldn't have been usable anyway without the piping tip! 🤣
Also Ben is the sweetest, nicest, kindest, most interesting. As always. James is the star, but Ben is always always pleasure to watch
This was one of the best relays ever. Couldn't stop laughing. I saw croquembouche and was already excited, then I heard the intro and knew where this was going and was already scared for the boys. However they really did well, this episode had so many highlights.
Mike clearly was cheating, there were just too many hints, but with that task, SSS, I would say the hints where necessary and how everyone reacted on finding out the theme was just hilarious.
When Jamie said we had a laugh I really did they know their audience quite well.
The best, which I had to watch several times was when Jamie recounted his turn and was talking about the filling, everyone's face mirrored mine when I saw him in action.
You did really well and this was definitely a pass.
here, i did you a favor and marked 5 stressful moments everyone realizes what they're making
mike - 1:32 (the adventure begins)
barry - 4:09 (my personal fave)
jamie - 6:30 (more surprised they actually made it this far lmao)
ebbers - 8:39 (remains cool, as always)
james - 11:20 (immediately puts the pieces together, like a chef should, but with a healthy dose of panicky sarcasm)
I don't I've ever seen James *that* panicky though! It's a full-on flap, bless
barry had me on the floor
My other favourite from Barry is at 4:59
Jamie did fine, his only problem was that he didn't realize that Bar's phone was a timer because the screen had turned off.
The normals' reactions reminded me of those videos of men realizing they are going to be fathers... just a mildly nervous daze.
The frantic editing during mikes breakdown killed me 😂😂
13:14 -- James is all of us when we think about 2020. It was looking good with all the holidays landing on weekends, and then it d i d n t....
The moments of reaction when they realize what they're making... priceless.
Jamie: Barrys phone? I am going to put this away.
Me: *screams at the screen* NOOOOOOOO!
Ben's face when he realized that Jamie had already made the filling... 😂😂😂
This is a magnificent comedy of errors, that still yielded a good result. All of them contributed something to the dish. I really want to see them react to this video together.
Bens face during Jamie’s explanation is quite simply the best thing on the internet right now
James is definitely most likely to get sunburnt considering he got sunburnt whilst being stood under a tent all day
It's not easy being genetically pale.
exactly what I was thinking
What video is this from?
@@sald6815 The can four idiots run a food truck selling sweet nachos :)
"It was looking good and then suddenly it didn't." Kind of like my coursework 😂
This has been all of us at some point 😂🤦♂️
@@SortedFood I was near SCREAMING "powdered sugar" at my monitor at that point. The fruit with powdered sugar would've been a home run!
Dare I say it, but this is the most useful I’ve ever seen Barry be in any video
James: laughing and sobbing 😂. Never seen him so flustered!!
Given Mike's tumultuous history with choux, he did a great job today!
Mike has been excelling at every challenge recently.
It's like we watched a montage in real time of him becoming a chef through sheer trial by fire
I want merch of Janice's "yey, we broke him!" or "oh dear oh dear..."
Yes.
Yes please, “oh dear oh dear”, love it!
Yes! Guarantee I'll buy the "Yay! We broke him!" SORTED branded tea towel or apron.
I also want a shirt with her James rant on it
Even better when you consider that Mike is roasting Mike AS Janice.
"Right,no,okay,hell!"
"Mix damn you!"
Barry Taylor 2020
I feel like I've genuinely witnessed Mike and Barry have a breakdown
James: It looks like a real-life croquembouche! Admittedly, a very, very sad one *half crying and laughing*
Oh James, the fact that you're saying that and sort of half-crying and half-laughing totally shows your personal growth and long-suffering resignation for this Pass-It-On series lol
"This is how you get ants" delivery just KILLED me
Mike ready to jump over the table at James if he was too critical of the dish was my favourite part
Janice please narrate my autobiography. This level of sass is inspiring.
15:20
Mike: I was gonna throw myself over the table at you
*Careful Mike your Janice is showing*
Can I just say, well done mike!! You were broken but you made it. Someone give that man a hug 😂
can't and shouldn't. social distancing .... remember?
@@strain121 Can I hug him through a shower curtain? 😂
Janice's "Yay, we broke him" is my favorite thing ever in all the Pass It On challenges so far lol!
Honestly, you boys deserve a round of applause. That was NOT easy, and the fact that you made one that turned out so well, in such a time crunch, is really impressive.
Happy Birthday Sorted! You guys have been an absolute, yummy delight to watch over the last 10 years. ❤
Thank you! 🥳
There are a few things we can count on for pass it on episodes. 1. Jamie messing something up, 2. Ben and James having to fix it while James has a mini meltdown, 3. Mike also having a mini meltdown and 4. Barry making a HUGE mess.
"I'm so glad a normal did not have to do that." Aww
Hilarious, Barry, with that piping bag twirl, the slippy floor recovery and that final chocolate flip at the end!
timer: *goes off*
jamie: OH NO
Loving the chocolate throwing from Barry, just complete panic
Mike standing over the stove chanting "melt, melt, melt, melt" is A+ pastry chef energy.
love the compelte and utter panic and chaos of Mike's and Barry's turn and then Jamie just potters about a bit xD
Mike: puts the nozzle on the pastry bag...👏👏
Jamie: that someone else's problem...😂
14:13 this slow zoom in on Ben made me ugly laugh.
We all love a good ugly laugh, it's good for the soul!
Me too, I did a little snort aswell :P
Jamie: I FOLLOWED THE RECIPE
"Most likely to be sunburnt." Everyone immediately looks at James. Rude.
It's true though! Gingers DO NOT do well in the sun! Even using sunscreen and hats I STILL ended up just having surgery for skin cancer on the top of one of my ears!!!!! It was a simple fix but still...maddening!
I am literally stunned...
I had to make croquembouche as part of my graduation from culinary school. It literally took me HOURS and was one of the most stressful things I've ever done, culinarily speaking. The fact that the guys made something this awesome in less than 1 hour is utterly mind boggling!
I am also incredibly impressed.
That said...Janice definitely takes the Most Sassy award for today. I thought she was going to have a stroke during Ebbers time, talking about Jamie's score. Other than everybody's blind panic when they all realized just what sort of culinary hell they'd each walked in on, that was the best part of this video. :)
Two (molten caramel seared...poor James...been there, done that, got the scars, literally) thumbs way, WAY up guys!!
Jamie singing "Everything is fine" when things are practically falling apart is a MOOD!
We need a reaction video for this! NO DISCUSSION!!!!
Mike will forever be my favourite.
This whole! video with the Janice voiceover and where he was going to have a go at James if he was going to hold them to the standard of a croquembouche had me dying.
This video always brings me joy. Watched it a thousand times, still love it
James: Hand dips pastry in molten sugar.TIL: James needs a pair of tongs.
That legitimately confused me how he didn’t think of tongs. Maybe worried about pressing the profiteroles?
Or even chopsticks
Panic is a hell of a drug
I was honestly shouting at the screen telling him to use tongs. Sugar burns are something else.
I think he was trying to do it the traditional way?...
I think this is the most unhinged we've ever seen James 😂
Nope, remember that desert or baking one where he literally did nothing but panic
He was about to cry at one point
@@user-pd7xw9iv3l I don't 😅 Can you find the name of the episode?
But also the most we've seen him smile?? I'm not sure what that says, but petition: let's put him under incredible stress more often lol
Adara Nicholls It was PIO Dessert Part 2. Here’s a link for the boys’s unlisted reaction video to it which they thoroughly roast James: th-cam.com/video/-Rm4rhb1DeQ/w-d-xo.html
Haha James got so giggly!
Idk if I’ve ever laughed so much during one of these. It was absolute chaos but they still did by darn it!
Ashley Hanks .....I was thinking the exact same thing!!
For 4 years my partner has always refused to watch TH-cam, but now your videos are all we watch!
Yes! Return of the flour writing!
I’m still so in love with the individual stats intros! ❤️😂❤️
I honestly think this is my new fave pass it on! Put this on to chill after a day working frontline nhs and haven’t stopped laughing and smiling! Thankyou boys for providing the most entertaining fun watches, love to all of you and stay safe!! 💙
I know it's not 100k likes, but I want to see that. Mike vs. Baz recipeless Croquembouche.
