The fourth issue of bake off Uruguay left emotional moments, some sympathetic and a participation that broke down but happily was more than a scare. In the end, after the two usual tests of the format, the trio of jurors, they decided to leave Natalie out of the competition.

But for that to happen, the participants had to go through the two classic tests of the format: the technical challenge and the creative challenge. The jury, composed of Steffi Rauhut, Jean Paul Bondoux and Sofia Muñoz, was strict but sympathetic, as usual in Bake off.

With Veronica wearing the lily apron of the best pastry maker in the previous edition, the technical challenge was to replicate an inverted pineapple cake with caramel.

The results were uneven and some could not live up to it. So there was a lot of raw dough and some imperfections in the candy that weren't as easy to replicate as it seemed.

So in the jury's evaluation, the worst dish was Guillermo's and Veronica's best, who was recommended to "go that way. I Don't want my apron removed," he said. At the podium of the technical challenge were Marcos as second and Yennifer, third.

The creative challenge consisted of a cold fruit soufflé eight centimeters in diameter for which they should spend 90 minutes.

During the returns and after delivering a plate of raspberries that did not convince the jury, Yennifer felt bad. "I had a kind of anxiety attack, a panic attack," said the competitor trying to recover. She was quickly taken care of and clarified that it was the demand to do something she had never done before.

Nothing happened, luckily, and it was good enough for the final definition. First, the good news: the two best souffles were Veronica's capirinha and Facundo's banana. Facundo finally won.

En el peor momento del programa, la conductora Annasofía Faccelo hizo pasar al frente a Yennifer, Guillermo y Natalie para hacer saber quién era el eliminado de la velada. Ya por las críticas que le hicieron había quedado claro que quién debíaabandonar la carpa de Bake Off, Uruguay fue Natalie que en las dos pruebas había recibido devoluciones desfavorables.
