03:55Now why did you think Santa's bag is cake, Liz?
03:58The fur looked a little cakey

04:44Well guess what
04:46We know what's not cake
04:48You can take that off my list
04:51Fernanda you picked the chimney
04:54Yes
04:55I also picked the chimney
04:56Melissa you also thought the chimney was a cake
04:59Oh yeah
05:00Interesting

05:43Red present
05:44The turtle
05:45The red present and the turtle
05:47Okay we'll start with the turtle
05:49I don't think it's the turtle
05:50It's not
05:56Oh my gosh
05:59That is cake
06:00They nailed that
06:05That was the most real looking one
06:08Three of you found two cakes and those bakers are Liz Fernanda and Melissa
06:17You'll be competing today
06:18Gentlemen cozy up in the gallery
06:23You will be baking next time

06:31Which one of you is getting that holiday bonus of five thousand dollars?
06:38Congratulations to Fernanda
06:42You just won five thousand dollars
06:48Not bad for your first time here
06:52Now it's time to play
06:55Is it Kelly?
06:59For today's challenge
07:01We want you to create a cake that captures the magic of your most memorable holiday trip
07:09That is right
07:12We are giving you the freedom to choose
07:15You will have eight hours to complete a masterpiece that will fool the judges
07:21Who's feeling festive?
07:24Good
07:24Good
07:25Because it's the most wonderful time to
07:29BAKE
07:32Go
07:34Go
07:35Do not go to the north pole
07:38Go straight to your baking stations
07:41Yes
07:43I'm going to copy Liz and put a bow in the front of my apron
07:46All the cool girls are doing it
07:51Oh
07:53Nice catch there
07:54Like a ninja
07:57How's it going guys?
07:58There's definitely pressure coming in as an all-star because I haven't competed on Izzy cake before
08:08So you might be like is she an all-star? She's going to need to prove it
08:11My biggest strength in creating hyper realistic cakes is my sculpting ability
08:15I can sculpt like a lot of people can't
08:17Everyone always says to me oh those sculpted cakes never taste good
08:20But I'm telling you any cake I'm creating is going to taste just as delicious as it looks
08:26Together those skills they make me one of the best
08:29Also, I want to prove this to my niece and her friends who think I'm a celebrity that I am a celebrity
08:36This cake is inspired by my trip to Kenya
08:39That I took over the holidays
08:41Wow
08:42Wow
08:42Kenya sounds beautiful
08:44Nice
08:44And I uh
08:46I fed a giraffe through my mouth
08:47What?
08:48What?
08:48I didn't get that
08:50Say that again
08:51I put a piece of food in my mouth and then the giraffe came down
08:55And he grabbed it
08:58I like to say it kissed me
09:01Melissa I just learned a lot about you
09:04To some people maybe that sounds disgusting but I'm a huge animal lover
09:08So I've decided to create a giraffe as my cake
09:12It's a huge challenge
09:14Oh my gosh
09:15If the neck is not the right curve if the head is not tilted the right way
09:19If the legs are not proportional they'll be able to tell
09:22Liz what's the difference between castor sugar and granulated sugar just finer?
09:27Because I use castor sugar
09:29That's fine
09:29It's not all right
09:30It's granulated sugar
09:31I got nervous for a second
09:33Going up against Liz I'm basically going up against sort of like a mentor for me
09:38When I was learning how to create cakes I was watching her tutorials
09:41Liz like you're always my teacher anything I need to know about cakes I just ask you
09:45You might recognize me from is it cake season two except for I was going like this
09:57Season two I didn't get to compete for very long I was literally devastated
10:02My daughter was so upset
10:04You know one of the reasons I decided to come back is because I really want to show her that
10:09You can try again
10:10Oh there you go
10:11I can't lose a second time
10:13I'm going around teaching people how to make realistic cakes and realistic techniques
10:16And I can't even win the show
10:18I will have my revenge
10:20Ho ho ho
10:22What'd you got to do?
10:24Ho ho ho
10:25Ho ho ho
10:27I loved that one
10:29It'd be like ho ho ho ho
10:30Ho ho ho ho
10:32I'm kind of sad that we're not baking together Justin
10:35I know I wanted to bake with you
10:37But then I don't
10:38It is exciting to be together again though
10:40What are you uh building over there?
10:41I am making a sculpted tree stump with an axe out of the top
10:47Oh
10:48When I was a kid we would take a drive up into the mountains and we would pick out Christmas trees
10:54I have very many fond memories of chopping down the Christmas tree bringing it home setting it up decorating it the whole nine yards
11:02So now that I have little kids I'm keeping that tradition alive
11:06And then we get hot cocoa
11:07And she's dressed like a lumberjack
11:10I've done bark textures before but it's not realistic
11:13So I have to figure out how to make this realistic or they're definitely going to know
11:17That's the cake
11:18I'm going to do red velvet and chocolate with cream cheese filling
11:22And the inside is going to be a buffalo plaid pattern like my shirt here
11:26Wow
11:27There you go
11:27It's all stars I had to be do something impressive
11:29I'm not fair
11:31It's made of merit
11:32We'll see what happens
11:33Fernanda are you thinking of the five grand or is that in the past?
11:44We're moving on
11:45Yeah
11:45She said that's chump change
11:48We got a little bit more coming
11:50I started my career in animation in 2006
11:54I was hired at DreamWorks Animation where I worked for 15 years
11:57And I've also worked at Pixar and Netflix Animation
12:00I love to create in 3D and so now I move that over to sugar
12:05I'm really known for my character cakes and animation cakes
12:08This is my one shot of making it to the finale
12:11The pressure is on
12:12When you turn on the mixer, turn it on slowly
12:15Oh
12:16I hear ya
12:19For holiday travels, we actually tend to go a lot to Florida
12:22Because a lot of our family is there
12:23And Christmas is when we come together and just celebrate
12:26All the kids are now like older
12:29So we do like a gift box where we fill it with money
12:32And then they have to use oven mitts to open the gift within 30 seconds
12:37Oh I love that
12:38That sounds cool
12:39That's actually pretty hilarious because it gets pretty wild
12:42Chaos
12:43That sounds like fun
12:45So I'm making a present cake with edible ornaments and two oven mitts
12:50Hopefully I'll be able to win so I can put a little extra cash in the box
12:53That would make them even more excited about opening the gift
12:56What flavor cake are you doing?
12:58The classic deliciously simple vanilla cake
13:04The preference of 90% of Americans
13:07And then a Belgian chocolate filling
13:09It's gonna be yummy
13:10I love vanilla cake
13:12We love vanilla cake
13:14Everybody who's in this competition
13:16They're super talented
13:17It's inspiring
13:18Yeah
13:18You know what I mean?
13:19It's challenging right?
13:20Like where else are you gonna push yourself?
13:21Yeah
13:22All right
13:23In the oven finally
13:26Melissa you got a lot of olive oil over there
13:29What are you doing with it?
13:30I'm doing ricotta olive oil cake
13:32That is fancy
13:34On Hanukkah we light the candles with olive oil to remember the olive oil
13:40That lasted eight days
13:41And I'm doing a raspberry compote because we eat jelly donuts
13:46Oh that sounds so good
13:48That sounds good
13:48Let's hope for a miracle
13:52Ho ho ho
13:54There he is
13:56Happy holidays bakers
13:59Time to go shopping for decoys
14:03And yes I am dressed like young santa from a hallmark movie
14:09Liz you're gonna need some help with these
14:12Yes please
14:16Thanks Mikey
14:19Thank you guys you're the best
14:21This is the fun part
14:22Yeah baby
14:24The Belgian milk chocolate ganache
14:28We're getting something that looks like a glove
14:34I am assembling a buffalo check pattern
14:39We made it happen you know that's what we do here
14:41Come on guys we're all a star
14:46Only time will tell what's about to happen
14:51I think I'm seeing a giraffe
14:53There's a body
14:54There's a body
14:55It's a headless giraffe
14:56This is the fastest I've ever sculpted in my life
15:00And why can't I sculpt this fast at home
15:04At least it has a head
15:12Stick this in the fridge for just like a second
15:13Oh it's set perfectly
15:20I just need to shave it down now
15:22I need this axe to be extremely accurate exact details with sharp corners
15:28It cannot look soft or cake like in any way
15:33Oh my god it looks insane
15:34Thank you
15:35I just got to paint it
15:37It's getting axe
15:40What do you guys think
15:41That looks awesome
15:42That looks dope
15:43Awesome
15:44The polar bear is looking out for you guys
15:47Watching over you
15:49That's daddy polar
15:50He shall be known as Gerald
15:54Yeah I'm Gerald
15:57Please tell me this didn't just ruin the
16:02Well there goes that mold
16:03Did it stick to your glove?
16:06I just put silicone on silicone
16:08And that caused the silicone to adhere to each other
16:12Completely stuck to the glove
16:14Oh no
16:16Well I guess I'll be sculpting those by hand
16:18Oh no
16:18Because my mold didn't work
16:20I'm literally trying to mimic this texture by hand
16:23And I don't have time
16:25Oh no one is already bigger
16:27Oh my gosh
16:31Welcome aboard your preferred airline for holiday travel
16:35Is it cake airlines?
16:37Home of the cake
16:40Two hours left bakers
16:43Two hours left
16:44You are free to roam around the kitchen
16:47I don't know where anything is
16:49Thank you
16:50I'm really impressed with that giraffe
16:52That's great
16:53Looks like it's like the same height
16:54It looks great
16:55Lots of detail going on there
16:57The butt's coming up just right
17:03This is when everything starts getting really frantic
17:05I can't mold an entire log
17:08So I mold a small section and use that to impress onto modeling chocolate
17:15And then I'm going back in with wire brushes, sculpting tools
17:19I have to make my bow out of gum paste
17:22I need to add the little knots, make sure it's painted
17:24This needs to look exactly like the decoys
17:27How's the mold working, Liz?
17:29It's actually working really good
17:30Yeah
17:32Girl, you're giving bark
17:38They're balls
17:38They're a little smaller than the real ones
17:40So that's all right
17:41I am covering the chocolate ornaments with edible glitter
17:47Now I just got to make sure it's nice and shiny
17:53One hour left, bakers
17:54There's approximately one hour left in the bake
17:57Come on guys, more time, we need more time
17:59Finally got the color
18:00Just need to paint it
18:04Do you see how many spots are on this giraffe?
18:06You're killing it
18:11Oh, this edible rubbing baker
18:14The sheets are too small
18:15I'm going to do piece by piece
18:17If you match them up, it's going to look nice
18:20Ugh, somehow that didn't line up quite right
18:23When I'm doing animation, I can just undo
18:26Can I just have an undo button?
18:27Everything in life is a learning experience
18:33Oh god, please stay
18:34My hands are shaking so bad
18:35Oh no, just broke
18:37One of the bow pieces fell
18:38Oh, one of the pieces fell
18:41I have just lost this competition
18:45Five minutes, bakers
18:48Five minutes left
18:50That is not going to be enough time
18:51No time
18:52No time
18:52Ho, ho, no
18:56You need something, honey?
18:57Just need some edible paper
18:58How convenient

19:08Oh, the giraffe is looking sick
19:09Yeah, it's good
19:10Heard colors
19:11I really want to have time to add some shading to my spots

22:45Let's get it
22:49Your 20 seconds start now
22:53Oh my goodness
22:55Is mitt cake?
22:56This is what we're trying to do
22:57Yeah
22:58On one they're hiding the mitt
22:59If that was a cake
23:00Why are you hiding it?
23:00They would be in the front
23:01Yeah right
23:02Two
23:03Those are very chubby
23:04Those are nice chubby
23:05They're the fullest
23:06We're cut it out of time
23:07Yeah
23:07All right
23:08Look at number three
23:09Okay
23:10Three could not be more obviously
23:12I have no idea
23:14Four though
23:15See how big the mitt is
23:16Like that feels like it's
23:17Four could be cake
23:19Five
23:20I don't know
23:20That might not be it
23:21The crease
23:22That looks like paper
23:23Yeah
23:23Gotta lock it in
23:24Two doesn't have any of the decorations on top right?
23:26It's two or four
23:27Two
23:28Not four
23:28Two
23:29Lock it in
23:29Five
23:30Four
23:31Do it
23:31Do it
23:32Two
23:32One
23:33Lock it in
23:33Time's up
23:35Woo
23:37Woo
23:38Woo
23:38Yeah
23:39Yeah
23:40Yeah
23:41I'm second guessing everything I've ever done
23:43I know right now I am
23:44Dustin you confident?
23:45Uh absolutely not
23:46No I'm sweating through this Canadian tuxedo right now
23:50Now you chose number two why?
23:53Because of the way the gloves are laying
23:56The mitts
23:56They don't seem to be hollow
23:58Those are risen gloves
23:59Can't wait to put it in my mouth
24:01That's right it looks fluffy
24:02I see
24:03I heard the phrase chubby mitt
24:06Yes
24:06That looks like a chubby mitt
24:09I have to agree with the chubby mitt assessment
24:12It could just be mitts for someone with uh thick knuckles
24:15I don't know
24:16Okay Fernanda
24:18If this is cake you'll be facing elimination
24:21But if not you could be going to the finale with a bunch of cash
24:27So let's find out is it cake
24:34Whoa
24:38It is k
24:40Yes nice
24:42Let's go into this chubby mitt here
24:45Chubby mitt
24:46Chubby mitt
24:49Look at the layers on that
24:50Yum oh my god
24:53Fernanda I'm sorry to say this but this means you are facing elimination today
24:59But there are still two more spins left so it is far from over okay

26:16Wow
26:16My heart is like
26:18I really feel like we got it
26:22Judges
26:23You picked number four
26:26Why'd you go with this one
26:28Because the bark looks chocolatey
26:31And I used to be a boy scout and I seen a lot of trees
26:36Moment of truth here Liz
26:37If you fooled our judges you're still in the game
26:40However
26:41If they've cracked it and this is cake
26:43You'll be facing elimination alongside Fernanda
26:48Is it cake?
26:51Oh
26:58No
27:01No, no, no, no, no, no, not cake
27:03What?
27:04Yeah
27:04Not cake
27:05Wow
27:06Liz
27:06Liz
27:07You are our first baker to fool the judges
27:09Great job Liz
27:10That means
27:12You just got a little bit closer
27:15To a spot in the finale
27:17I feel like I'm gonna throw up but I'm excited
27:18You have been redeemed
27:21Yeah
27:22Woo
27:22Our confident judges
27:25Any other ideas where the cake could be?
27:29I'm looking at the handle of the Axon 5
27:32There's not as much of a gloss
27:34Wendy, do you agree?
27:36Why not?
27:37I really can't tell
27:39Let's find out if this is cake
27:42Oh
27:48Oh
27:50Whoa
27:51Come on
27:52Wow
27:52Whoa
27:53Whoa
27:55That is cake
27:58Oh
27:59Oh
28:00Okay
28:00That works too
28:06Great work Liz
28:06Thank you
28:07Well done
28:08Yeah Liz, great job
28:10Unfortunately Fernanda, because Liz fooled our judges and you did not, that means you are eliminated from the competition
28:18However, you made an incredible cake, so you should be very proud of your work here today
28:25And you're still leaving here with $5,000
28:31Yeah Fernanda
28:33You crushed it, awesome job today
28:36Liz, things are looking really good for you right now, but we've still got another spin
28:43Melissa

28:57Okay
28:57Wow
28:58Wow
28:58Amazing
29:00Wow
29:00The only question is, which one is cake?
29:04Your time starts now
29:08Oh
29:08Whoa
29:09They're all giraffes
29:10Okay
29:12So number one, we're talking about number one
29:13Yeah
29:14His hooves are too shiny for me
29:15It's too shiny to be cake
29:19Two
29:20That looks cakey
29:21Number two
29:22Two
29:22Two you think looks like cake?
29:23A little fluffy on the bottom
29:24Except for the neck
29:24It's too skinny to hold up that head
29:27What about three?
29:28What about three?
29:28His neck is big
29:29Three though for sure has I think like a matte cake finish
29:33Yeah
29:33Ten seconds
29:34Four looks mosaic
29:36Mosaic?
29:38The leg origami is freaking me out
29:40Looks like an art piece
29:42Number five
29:43Five
29:43Number five
29:44He looks the same as number two
29:46He's smiling weird
29:47He's like
29:49Gotta lock it in
29:51I think two
29:52I think it's two
29:53Three and four
29:53It's between three and four
29:54One and four look the same
29:55I'm looking at three and four
29:57Three
29:58Three
29:58That's solid
29:59That's great
29:59Lock it in
30:00I don't know
30:00Time's up
30:02I hate this
30:05They're all glorious
30:08Beautiful giraffes
30:10You chose number three
30:11Yeah
30:12Why did we land on this guy?
30:14It was either between three or four
30:17And yeah
30:17Because of the neck size
30:19Which doesn't matter
30:23Okay Melissa
30:24The stakes could not be higher right now
30:26If this is cake
30:29Sadly your run ends here
30:31And Liz
30:32You will be today's winner
30:35But if it's not cake
30:36Then you and Liz will both
30:38Still be in the race for the win
30:41Is it cake?
30:52No!
30:52Not cake!
30:57Not cake!
30:59Congratulations
31:00You tricked our judges
31:01You are one step closer
31:03To that holiday money
31:05And a spot in our finale!
31:11Another one
31:13Was four
31:13Yeah
31:14Uh-huh
31:14Okay
31:15Okay
31:15Let's see
31:16Is it cake?
31:17Is it cake?
31:27Oh wow
31:29Good job
31:30And I had trouble with that cut because I love giraffes
31:36Oh no no no
31:38This is beautiful
31:40This is a beautiful cake
31:41It is
31:42Well done Melissa
31:45Melissa and Liz
31:47Only one of you is moving on to the finale
31:49The other sadly will be eliminated
31:53Luckily I don't have to decide any of that
31:57Judges that is your job
31:59No pressure
32:00It's all going to come down to the taste and the details
32:05Cake wall spin
32:09Come on up here for a closer look and have a taste of these incredible cakes
32:13Wow
32:14Look at this man
32:15Liz you're up first tell us a little about your flavors here
32:19This is a classic red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting
32:23And chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting
32:26And that cream cheese
32:27That is nice
32:28It really does offer such a nice reprieve from the sweetness
32:32I'm sorry but that is incredible
32:34Plaid
32:35Oh plaid because it's like lumberjack
32:36Because it's a lumberjack
32:37Respect
32:39I'm close to this thing and it still looks like wood
32:42It's nuts
32:43You're good at what you do
32:44Thank you
32:46All right we can move on
32:48To Melissa
32:50Caught into my belly
32:53So it is a ricotta olive oil cake
32:56With honey buttercream and raspberry compote
32:59Oh boy
33:00You got me with the honey buttercream
33:02It's delicious and it's not too sweet
33:04I remember what the other giraffes looked like
33:06And this is the exact same
33:09Look at his little hooves
33:11This is just good sculpting
33:13All right judges
33:14You've tasted both cakes
33:16And you've had a closer look
33:17So please take a moment
33:18To decide which baker will be today's big winner
33:22And which baker will be eliminated from the competition
33:27Let's talk about Liz's cake first
33:29It is visually amazing
33:32I mean the axe is just insane
33:34Yeah
33:35This is an actual work of art here
33:38My only concern is a little too sweet
33:42I can't believe I'm saying that
33:43Neither can I
33:43But um yeah
33:45Melissa's giraffe
33:47Just the sculpting of this thing
33:49She went there she nailed it
33:51She did
33:51The body the texturing is not quite as detailed
33:54But then when you look at the face
33:56This is very accurate
33:58This is hard
34:00But we got to make a decision
34:01I think I know what you want
34:06I think you know
34:06Which of the two it is
34:08Yep
34:08Okay judges
34:10Have you reached a decision?
34:11We have
34:12Yes
34:13Oh boy
34:14It's the details that set one apart from the other
34:18And I can't express this enough
34:20You're both artists
34:22But our winner today is
34:28Liz!
34:28Oh my god
