00:00Hello! I'm going to the Is It Cake finale! Bye!
00:16Whoa! Hey, Mr. Polar Bear, I'm going to the finale!
00:21Come on, follow me!
00:23Hope there's no cops around.
00:25Woo-hoo!
00:33Whee-pee!
00:36Bakers, on aboard the finale train!
00:43Welcome to the Is It Cake holiday finale!
00:47All aboard!
00:50And guess what?
00:52There's room for one more on my train to the finale!
00:57I need a ride!
00:58Two finalists remain, but one of you will be hopping aboard to join them!
01:05Redemption!
01:06Who will it be?
01:09I'll be back!
01:10Bye!
01:11I love you!
01:13It's time to play Find That Cake!
01:19This is it, Bakers.
01:21The highest-stakes game of Find That Cake we've ever had.
01:25Oh, my God!
01:27The winner will immediately join Liz and Timbo for one last shot at glory.
01:3445,000 bucks and the title of Is It Cake holiday champion!
01:42Woo-hoo!
01:44Cake wall spin!
01:47Coming around is a holiday window display, all decked out for the season.
01:53There's one cake in there!
01:56Oh, here it comes.
01:57Whoever finds the cake the fastest, boom!
02:01Back in the game!
02:03Let's put 30 seconds on the clock, and your time starts now!
02:08Oh, my gosh!
02:10They're spinning!
02:15Don't let the spinning throw you!
02:2115 seconds!
02:31Look at the cheeks on the gingerbread!
02:34Why is that gingerbread cheeked up?
02:3610 seconds!
02:41Lock in your answers!
02:433, 2, 1...
02:46Time's up!
02:48I don't think I said the right thing.
02:50It was, like, impossible to tell.
02:52Oof!
02:53Fernanda, you chose the gingerbread man.
02:59Were you, like me, hypnotized by its enormous rear end?
03:05Probably a little bit.
03:08Anybody else choose this guy?
03:10Justin!
03:12Why did you guys go with gingerbread man with the big badonkadon?
03:18That gingerbread had cakes.
03:23Here we go.
03:24Are you cake?
03:25Are you cake?
03:34No!
03:35Not cake!
03:37For one second.
03:38I was like, maybe it is!
03:40Melissa, what did you pick?
03:42What did you pick?
03:43I chose the dreidel.
03:46The massive dreidel!
03:48Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel.
03:49Did they make you out of cake?
03:52What jumped out at you about this dreidel that made you say,
03:56that's cake?
03:57I've spun a lot of dreidels in my life.
03:59And they tend to have a very smooth finish.
04:02I feel like I could see brush strokes.
04:05Melissa, this is a big one.
04:07You are the only one who chose the dreidel.
04:10So if this is cake, you will instantly claim the last spot in our finale.
04:16Is it cake?
04:17Oh!
04:18Oh!
04:19Oh!
04:20Oh my gosh!
04:21Yeah!
04:22Melissa!
04:23It's cake!
04:24Melissa!
04:25Congratulations!
04:26You are back in the game!

05:56who you'd like is your baking assistant oh my gosh so first which item would you
06:03like to make I think I'm gonna go with Santa Santa
06:12who would you like as your little helper Fernanda
06:19sorry boys we finally get to work together next up Timbo
06:26see I like the ginger river I don't want to try to recreate that hat with
06:31fabric and it's just it's a lot I think I'm gonna go with the Christmas tree the
06:35Christmas tree got it and who would you like to work with I just like to bake but
06:44Justin loves to bake so I think I'm gonna go with Justin okay and that means Melissa and Paul are our final dream team
06:56dream team we got this what are you baking today I am gonna go with
07:03the gingerbread man yeah okay the items are selected you will have 12 hours to complete your masterpieces it's time to bake
07:19let's go let's not waste any time on Liz on Fernanda on Timbo on Justin on Paul on Melissa
07:32Merry bake to all and to all a good bake
07:37oh
07:38oh
07:40Paul you crack the eggs yeah I will get the sugar and the butter into the bowl gaining this spot in the finale I just feel so lucky
07:49who knew that the dreidel would get me back into the game it's a Hanukkah miracle that's three cups of strawberries in there yep I mean you could add more strawberries if we have I could double the bat let's just double it better to have
08:02better to have too much than not enough we have a lot of cake because we have the gingerbread man and then we have the hat oh yeah you guys do have a pretty big one I have to create this four foot tall gingerbread man the largest cake I've ever seen is a cake so many things can go wrong
08:17the shape can be off the paint might not be the right color the hat is like a felt material which is so hard to recreate in cake what are you guys thinking about making a brown sugar spice cake oh and a coconut cake she's got two flavors a little bit of the holidays a little bit of fun so you are being extra
08:38oh smells so good already oh yeah
08:45the last thing that's going into my buttercream is my passion fruit gotta compete with miss recipe baker over here I got you we are a team
08:57oh my gosh you got it got it you are so calm cool and collected that's liz I'm going to continue measuring out ingredients for the cake and you can move on to buttercream excellent excellent I'm not going to lie I was disappointed in myself that I did not win my season of is it cake I just
09:27I kind of really felt like I kind of really felt like maybe I don't know what I'm doing but what kind of example would I be setting for my kids that if you lose you should just give up so I wanted to try again and I'm in the finale
09:42I like that you picked Santa because of all the additional details
09:48Santa has a ton of details but I feel like there is a little bit of an advantage because it's going to really mess with the judges heads trying to focus on all of the elements he has a lot of like toys textures coloring the beard the clothes but the cake has to be spinning
10:07if anything looks a little bit too sloppy it's going to be a dead giveaway I know that we can both sculpt this type of cake but it's going to be really really important that it's like exact I don't know how I'm going to get all of this done
10:20you smell so good over here is that the brown butter it is the brown butter girl it's Santa right so chocolate chip cookies leave cookies out for Santa you want to taste yeah does it taste like a cookie
10:31cookie it tastes just like a cookie I told myself I just wanted to get to the finale and I would feel better but now I want to win the finale don't forget the chocolate chips
10:43lots of chocolate chips all right cakes are going in the oven that's gonna be delicious
10:50Demba look what I found where's girl oh yeah what if we just throw this into a simple syrup
11:00you know I'm all down for that it's the holidays you can get started on the buttercream if you want
11:04yes whiskey reminds me of the holidays since my dad likes to use whiskey in his baking I am making a
11:13whiskey cake with a caramel filling caramel buttercream and a vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream when the judges
11:21bite into my cake I want them to get all of the flavors that we normally have at our house for the
11:26holidays so they can kind of have a glimpse into what it was like growing up for me how you doing
11:31Timbo I'm doing you're doing nothing bad has happened yet nothing's went wrong just yet being in the finale
11:38I'm afraid that I just woke up the monster in me and I really want to win the whole thing let's get this
11:44money cake like the wind even though I've done competitions before and I've won my fair share I
11:51still want to win almost like collecting infinity stones this is the biggest one to add this is not
11:58your first time making this big of a cake no but you know what it is my first time making this big of
12:03a cake that's this simple right and so like I'm trying not to overthink too much this Christmas tree
12:08although it looks simple it's not my style at all I like to do a lot of sculpting a lot of detail
12:15and this Christmas tree just doesn't have a lot so we can't mess anything up cakes going in nice
12:22it's turning
12:25I've got decoys bakers
12:35come and get them
12:38try not to throw your backs out lifting these things
12:43oh you're so cute I love him
12:51I'm gonna start molding
12:53Santa's here
12:55our station smells beautiful right now
13:00all right I'm excited I think they'll love that
13:03look at that delicious cake
13:08you're doing great keep it up
13:14oh my gosh
13:16it's a beard
13:18my biggest concern with this cake is all of these details
13:22I am using modeling chocolate
13:24it firms up and I think it looks the most like a plaster object
13:29I like don't even know where to start with this texture
13:32just get into the zone of giving him beard his beard there's like so many curls and texture
13:39and his hair and then also all of the details and the toys it's a lot those little toys terrify me
13:46they'll be fine trust me
13:48okay
13:49oh wow thank you Paul
13:51the train is back up and running folks
13:54Gerald give me five
13:56boom
13:58Pendleton good to see you you look great and by the way there's a polar bear behind you
14:03well have a great day this is really cool how are you building out your branches on the tree I'm using modeling chocolate and ganache right now and so I'm hoping if I can get it smooth enough all I have to do is paint the white ganache
14:10oh that would be so nice yeah hella layers well I should be using measuring tools to do this because all of the branches are completely different sizes but that will take a lot of time I'm not in panic mode just yet okay that's good when I am in panic mode you will know
14:25will I when it comes to cake to this size you have to cut corners to save time I'm hoping that I can just sculpt these branches freehand and use my decoy as like a reference every time I walk around this tree there's another branch that I'm missing I know right
14:40it's going way slower than I wanted to
14:57four hours bakers four hours left
15:00oh we gotta move
15:02I'm just rolling our texture mat onto this piece of modeling chocolate that I rolled out
15:07okay it is crucial we match the exact texture of the gingerbread man on our cake to the back the mold gives a pretty good base but we are also using a thick brush to imprint deeper into that modeling chocolate and bring out the rough texture that looks really good this is one of the best texturing tools I've ever found I can't even see the seam
15:36welcome to the cake sports network Dan cut fork here live from the finale providing color commentary today is Gerald Gerald how are you doing today yeah I'm pretty much Gerald yeah all right Gerald what a finale is Mikey doing cake mother herself
16:03Liz taking on Santa Claus
16:05taking on Santa Claus
16:07Santa Claus you're the cutest man I've ever seen
16:10I'm gonna add the trim on his hat now start getting the toys in here
16:15a lot of hands going on right here
16:19it's taking forever
16:21and then all we have to do is paint the entire thing
16:25that's it that's it just a little bit left to go
16:27I think we could just paint it just like that the color looks pretty similar from back there
16:34yeah it's looking pretty good
16:36they don't look that bad
16:38oh that feels good
16:40paint in the tush
16:43wow I actually got really close to the color so easily
16:46oh yeah that's awesome
16:48we got to get those stripes in
16:50it's pretty close
16:52I'm a little concerned about getting all the painting done
16:55just fix the little nose on the nutcracker
16:58needs a little tiny nose job
16:59sure
17:00where has the time gone
17:01I could work on these details forever and it would never look perfect
17:04we're fine it's all fine
17:06but we have to start the long arduous process of painting
17:10finally fun
17:13he's looking so cute
17:16that's perfect
17:18one hour
17:20no
17:21oh
17:22one hour remains
17:23360 degrees will be seen by the judges
17:27moving forward Liz on his face
17:29yes please
17:30now I'm just going to sculpt the hat right on there because we have no more time
17:34fondant so hard to make it look like fabric
17:37yeah
17:39we knew it was gonna look cakey there's nothing we can do about it
17:43we got this
17:45just adding some texture with my texture mat
17:48dusting this a little
17:50alright
17:51I think that looks a lot better now that I got some highlights
17:54that hat looks awesome
17:57oh
17:58yes
17:59ornaments
18:00caramel
18:01inside the truffle ornament
18:03yum
18:04that looks like the actual ornament
18:06we are going to trick them
18:10you want me to do it exactly like the decoy
18:15I almost feel like
18:16we should add like more ornaments than that one has
18:19let's do it
18:20I want it to kind of look like this just ran out of time
18:23seriously by adding like a few more

25:44cake with a vanilla buttercream.
25:46Mmm.
25:47It's like a cookies and milk thing.
25:48That's really good.
25:50I feel the chocolate melting in my mouth.
25:51Mmm.
25:52Oh, wow.
25:53Oh, there's so many flavors.
25:55It really does have that yummy cookies and milk flavor.
25:57So good.
25:58Well done, Liz.
25:59You are in a good spot right now.
26:01However, we have two more spins to go,
26:04so this race is far from over.
26:06Next up, we've got Timbo.
26:09Give it up.
26:09Woo!
26:11All right, Tim.
26:12Woo!
26:13Cake wall, spin.
26:17Coming around, Timbo made a Christmas tree.
26:20God!
26:21Round and around, the cake goes.
26:24Where it is, only Timbo knows.
26:28Your time starts right now.
26:33Oh, my goodness.
26:33Whoa.
26:34What?
26:35This is impossible.
26:37Number one.
26:38One is very shiny and sparkly.
26:40And the balls are really glittering.
26:42Yes.
26:43Number two is going so fast.
26:45Two is extra glittery and shiny.
26:47Two is tilting.
26:48Oh.
26:48See that?
26:49It might be two.
26:51Number three is too bare.
26:53Just get three out of here.
26:54I'm not falling for three again.
26:55It looks fake.
26:56It must be real.
26:57What?
26:58None of these are actual trees, right?
26:59Ha, ha, ha.
27:01Number four has so much color and so much detail.
27:03But I will say the branches are a bit more symmetrical.
27:05Timbo, what is it?
27:08Tell us.
27:09Gotta lock it in.
27:11I think it's number one.
27:12That shiny thing at the bottom.
27:13It's number two.
27:14I still think it's number one.
27:15I'm going to go with two.
27:16I'm going with one.
27:17I'm going with three.
27:17Number three.
27:18I feel like it's number one.
27:19This is so hard.
27:20Time's up.
27:22That was pure chaos.
27:28I thought we would be more together this round,
27:30but I think we went the other way.
27:30No, we were further apart.
27:32You just went off on your own.
27:36OK, judges, let's see how you did.
27:38You went with number one.
27:40Why?
27:41We're saying one because the petal.
27:44The branches.
27:45The branches.
27:45The branches.
27:46Yeah, those branches.
27:47La flatness really does scream cake.
27:50OK, Timbo, if this is cake, you will be eliminated
27:54from the competition.
27:55But if this is not cake, then you and Liz
27:58will both be up for the grand prize.
28:01Let's find out, is it cake?
28:06Come on, Mikey.
28:14Whoa.
28:14That look.
28:16Oh, my god.
28:18Let's go.
28:19That's cake.
28:21Sorry, Timbo.
28:23That is incredible.
28:24It's beautiful.
28:25Sorry, sorry.
28:26Sorry, though.
28:27Good job, Timbo.
28:28I don't want you to feel bad.
28:28It's absolutely beautiful.
28:30It was great.
28:31Timbo, since Liz fooled our judges and you did not,
28:34that unfortunately means you are eliminated
28:37from the competition.
28:39However, you are walking away with $15,000.
28:44So that's not bad.
28:45Nice work.
28:46Timbo!
28:47You're amazing.
28:48Incredible.
28:49I have done this a long time, but I've never got to compete
28:53against Liz.
28:54That was a lot of fun, too.
28:56It was fun.
28:56Oh, class act.
28:58Give it up for Timbo.
28:59You can join your hatted friends over there.
29:02Wonderful.
29:03So proud of you.
29:04Yay, Timbo!
29:05Okay, Liz, you're looking good, but we still have one more spin
29:10to do.
29:11Melissa, your time to shine.
29:15Woo!
29:16Melissa!
29:17Let's go!
29:18Here we go.
29:19Cake wall, spin.
29:22Here we go.
29:23Melissa made a gingerbread man.
29:26Ugh.
29:28There's no way any of those are cake.
29:30Judges, are you ready?
29:33Your time starts now.
29:36Oh, what?
29:37Goodness!
29:37Whoa.
29:39Oh, and a booty.
29:41This is very distracting.
29:43Number one has a...
29:44Well, there's a booty there.
29:46Oh, the left cheek's bigger than the right cheek.
29:50Number two has a big bite out of it.
29:52Yeah, I don't buy it.
29:54I feel like that looks too real.
29:56Ten seconds.
29:57Whoa, what do you mean ten?
29:58What do you mean ten?
30:00Number three is definitely more classic.
30:03I don't trust number three.
30:04Look at those googly eyes.
30:05I don't think so, number three.
30:06Number three is a decoy.
30:08But number four, the one with the cakes got cakes.
30:11It's four.
30:12The buttons are a little bit more offset.
30:14It's a little shinier, number four, also.
30:17Five seconds.
30:18It's got to be number four or number one.
30:20What do I do, number one or number four?
30:21The hat on number one, though, looks really real.
30:23Number one because of the misshapen booty.
30:25Is that an error or is that on purpose?
30:27What do I do?
30:27One or four, one or four.
30:29I'm going to go with number one.
30:31Time zone!
30:33That was intense.
30:37How are we feeling?
30:38I don't know.
30:39Okay, judges, you chose number one.
30:43What led us to decide this man was cake?
30:46The booty was misshapen.
30:48One cheek was bigger than the other one.
30:51Lacey, what did you see?
30:52I was a bit torn, to be totally honest.
30:55Lacey, one and four.
30:56They all look so good.
30:57This is an impossible task.
30:58All right, Melissa, deep breath.
31:02If the judges find your cake today, sorry to say,
31:05you will be eliminated from the competition.
31:08And Liz, you will be our champion.
31:12But if it's not cake and you have our judges fooled,
31:16then you and Liz will both be up for the win.
31:19Let's find out.
31:20Are you cake, sir?
31:21No, no, not cake.
31:32Yeah!
31:33Wow.
31:34Melissa, congratulations.
31:36You have fooled our judges.
31:37And you are up for the win.
31:40Woo!
31:41Incredible.
31:42Judges, we are also talking about number four.
31:45Mm-hmm.
31:46Yeah.
31:47The hat seems like it could be made of...
31:49Fondant.
31:50Fondant, yeah.
31:51I thought maybe that looked a little suspicious,
31:53but it's still impossible to tell.
31:55Let's find out.
31:57Are you cake?
32:05Oh, there it is.
32:07Oh!
32:08You should have.
32:09Oh, my God.
32:10Oh, my God.
32:11Yay!
32:13Wow!
32:14Well done, Melissa.
32:15That is amazing, Melissa.
32:17Yeah, that is amazing.
32:19Melissa, will you please cut a slice for the judges?
32:23Yes, please.
32:25Okay, so the head was a brown sugar spice cake
32:29with vanilla bean buttercream and strawberry compote.
32:32That is delicious.
32:33And the hat was coconut cake with passion fruit
32:37and raspberry buttercream and toasted coconut.
32:39That is like a vacation in a bite.
32:43Mm!
32:44You know it's good when you whip your head back.
32:48Delicious.
32:49Melissa, Liz, this is it.
32:51One of you is moments away from claiming that $45,000 prize
32:57and the title of Is It Cake holiday champion.
33:01Because there's so much at stake here,
33:04we're going to give our judges a little privacy.
33:07Everybody up on the cake wall,
33:09we're going to send you to Santa's little waiting room
33:13while the judges make their decision.
33:16Bye, bakers.
33:17Bye.
33:18Amazing job.
33:19All right, judges, come on up, take a closer look at the details
33:26and have another taste.
33:28Wow.
33:29This is a big decision,
33:31so make sure you're confident in your choice.
33:34Look at the texture of this.
33:36I mean, the way that it's painted,
33:37it looks like real fabric.
33:39Look at the face, look at the color in the eyes,
33:41the cheeks.
33:42Yeah.
33:43Look at the glove.
33:44It's like a knitted texture.
33:45Mm, and you can see the folds in the fabric.
33:48Santa's sack of toys are incredible.
33:50Look at each little present.
33:52When you come up close and you see all the shading,
33:54all the colors.
33:55And then on top of it, the cake is absolutely delicious.
33:57I remember this one tasting really good.
33:59It's so good.
34:00It tastes like my favorite chocolate chip cookie.
34:03All right, judges, please move on
34:05to Melissa's gingerbread cake.
34:07Ooh!
34:08With the booty?
34:09Hey, what the booty?
34:11The texture of it looks like a cookie.
34:13Yeah.
34:14It's super impressive.
34:15The hat fooled us.
34:16I love that it has the texture
34:17that this ribbon would have.
34:18That's very well thought out.
34:20I'm really impressed that there's
34:21two different kind of cakes.
34:22That really gets me.
34:23That's the buttercream strawberry filling.
34:25Mm.
34:26The toasted coconut is probably my favorite flavor
34:28of the day.
34:28That is absolutely amazing.
34:30This is a pretty impossible decision to make.
34:33Can we tap out?
34:34Is there someone else?
34:36All right, judges, taking a closer look,
34:38please make a decision on who should be
34:40our Is It Cake holiday champion.
34:44Oh, my goodness.
34:45Hmm.
34:46Design, artistry on that one, like 15 out of 10.
34:50I agree.
34:51The different textures.
34:52The shapes.
34:53I mean, it looks so real.
34:54Liz's cake tasted so good.
34:56It was simpler.
34:57It really feels like the cookies you leave,
34:59Christmas-y.
35:00Yeah, that one's more impressive, the cake.
35:02I don't think I've ever had a flavor like this in my life.
35:05And I mean, the hat is amazing.
35:06It did fool us from far away.
35:08But it was a simpler task to make a gingerbread man.
35:11Right.
35:12Not trying to make something look like a real guy.
35:14Right, right, right.
35:19I think we know what we're going to do.
35:20I think so, too.
35:21OK.
35:22Judges, have you reached a decision?
35:24It's not easy, but yes.
35:25Yeah.
35:26Please return to your podiums and place
35:28the name of our winner in the envelope.
35:39All right, let's bring our bakers back in here.
35:41Cake wall spin.
35:44Did Santa bring us bakers?
35:46Oh, he did.
35:47He did.
35:49Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
35:51Liz and Melissa, join me over here.
35:54Everyone else, please head to the gallery.
35:58While you were gone, the judges looked at the details
36:01of your cakes and had another taste.
36:04And they have made their decision.
36:07Michael, can I get that envelope from you?
36:11Wow, we met halfway.
36:16I know this decision was not easy for our judges.
36:21You're both so talented.
36:22The taste was impeccable.
36:24They tasted so delicious, moist, fresh, and unique.
36:28They looked even more realistic in real life,
36:31which is just impossible.
36:32It's such a hard decision to make.
36:34I mean, you really are both winners.
36:37Yeah.
36:39Yeah.
36:40Incredible.
36:41Now, the winner of Is It Cake Holiday is...
36:46...we are but children in the presence of our mother, Liz!
36:58Congratulations, Liz!
37:00Congratulations, Liz!

37:26I am so proud of myself.
37:28I'm so glad that I came back.
37:29I'm so glad that I gave it another try and didn't give up.
37:32And...
37:33Reteption!
37:34You did it!
37:36I'm sad that I lost, but going up against Liz, as a mentor to me,
37:43I definitely think I put up a good fight until the end,
37:47and that feels like a win.
37:49This is your moment, Liz!
37:51The Is It Cake Golden Throne.
37:55Chef Abe!
37:57Oh, my God!

38:07This really is the most challenging cake competition I've ever been on.
38:11If you can win Is It Cake, you really are the best.
38:14This is the best Christmas ever!
38:16I'm Mikey Day from our kitchen to yours.

38:29We're in the world!
38:31Happy Holidays!
38:33Don't embarrass me, Cakewalk!
38:40Turn it on!
38:42Don't embarrass me!
38:45Three, two, one.
38:50And let's see if you at home are Cake.
39:00You're Cake!
39:02I'm so glad you're not Cake, Gerald.
39:05If you were Cake, I'd be sad.
39:08This must have been like on the set of Avatar.
39:11I have a son. I'm a grown man.
39:16You're a grown man!
