Simon decorates a cake

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Simon begins his task attempting to bypass the word ‘fiddle’, declaring that if someone were to throw a wheelbarrow at someone else, that someone else would not declare that they had been fiddled with. Simon throws a wheelbarrow at the platform; this stops the platform, and somehow manages not to knock off the cake. Simon makes a multi-layered cake, filled with whipped cream, marshmallows, and strawberries – even making a face on the top layer with icing and blueberries – before declaring that he can do better. Simon disappears for a bit – presumably realising that since task time limit was given in rotations, and the platform was no longer rotating, he had infinite time - and returns with what is clearly a professionally-made cake, to which he adds some marshmallows and strawberries. Simon is initially disqualified for fiddling, until Mark reads the definition of ‘fiddle’ [‘pille’] - which centres around absent-minded finger work – at which point Lasse reluctantly accepts that he did not fiddle. Simon wins the task.
