It is filmed BEFORE the airing of the main program. The studio audience watches a sneak preview of the episode before they record the "Extra Slice". This is a couple of days before the live broadcast. The audience knows the theme of show before going to the recording because it is mentioned at the end of the previous week's show (no industry secret!).
How do I know? I went to the recording of Extra Slice episode 3 (bread week) this series. Sadly my Focaccia with Sue Perkin's face on it was not considered good enough for the front section and I had to wave it from the back (yes I did spot it in the final edit).
