The Signature bake involved the celebrities baking eight iced buns each, with the flavour and the decoration meaning something special to each of the bakers.
Mel B made some Caribbean spice ice buns in honour of her late father who was from the island of Nevis.
She used his favourite rum to flavour the buns but ran into trouble from the outset when she failed to accurately measure her ingredients and instead guessed the proportions.
Melanie's father Martin died in March 2017 after a battle with myeloma cancer.
Mel said of her late father: 'My dad unfortunately died of cancer so this is very important for me to do. It's a horrible disease so this is my way of giving something back to him.'
Fern made Swedish-style knotted buns which she flavoured with cardamon.
Dermot chose to make fruits of the forest iced buns, with his bake being inspired by his childhood.
He said he was a 'kid of the 80s' and 'fruits of the forest was everywhere'.

Greg chose to make iced buns similar to those he ate from a local bakery growing up.
However, he added custard to make them extra special.
But Greg was criticised for the texture of his custard, with judge Paul saying it would bounce back up off the ground if he dropped it.
The bakers were next tasked with making a chocolate and raspberry roulade with meringue and a Chantilly cream swirl.
Greg appeared to struggle as he embarked on the first step - making the flourless sponge.
He joked: 'Basically what I need is my mum to be here.'

Host Alison Hammond was impressed by Mel B's skills as she got the perfect texture of the cream.
Mel was seen holding the bowl of cream up above her head, with the cream staying firmly put.
Alison said: 'I find this quite amazing. You inspired a whole generation of women,' to which Mel joked: 'To not cook!'
Paul said of all the finished products: 'We have all the elements but not necessarily in the right order.'
He said of Mel's roulade: 'I'm not sure what happened with this. It looks like a slipper. It's a mess. It's a trifle!'
Dame Prue Leith and Paul decided Greg came in fourth place for his roulade, saying: 'It's just not the right shape but it tasted ok.'
Mel came third while Dermot came second, with Dame Prue saying of Dermot's: 'This is a really good roulade but it's not the right shape.'
Fern came out on top for the chocolate roulade round, prompting her to say: 'I'm quite surprised. It's the first time I've ever made one.'

While Paul said: 'The bottom's a bit thick. It could have done with a bit longer in the oven. It tastes very good.'
