00:00Previously on Sweet Empire, six newly formed empires faced off.
00:06Each team worked together to prove they weren't just toying around.
00:12Broke it.
00:13Damn it, Jonathan.
00:14Stakes were high as the bottom two empires crumbled.
00:18And the remaining four empires grew stronger.
00:21Francois, who will you be choosing?
00:23Camille.
00:24Jonathan, you sure do look good in green.
00:26Come on, get your butt over here.
00:28We're going to go with Sarah.
00:29Really?
00:30Dana, you can join Tatiana and Erin.
00:32Now, four new empires move forward with their quest to conquer the Winter Wars.
00:38Stakes are so high.
00:40I don't want my empire to crumble.
00:41We're going to kick butt in the next competition.
00:44One small bad mistake, and that could be, you know, for you.
00:49This is Sweet Empire.
00:51Sincerely yours, Lord Dingerton.
00:53Wow.
00:54Wow.
00:57Nice.
01:01Wow.
01:02Nice.
01:03Wow.
01:03Very super.
01:04Hello, bakers.
01:06Welcome to the movies.
01:07Wow.
01:07Oh, boy.
01:09Now, empire is actually a triple threat.
01:10Cake and sugar and chocolate.
01:12No other empire has all these skills.
01:14I'm excited to see what we come up with.
01:17Four teams are standing strong, but if you want to stay standing, you better bake like
01:21your empires depend on it.
01:23Nils and Francois were first place last week, and they picked me, so I have to show up with
01:33my A-game.
01:35Quick question for you.
01:36Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
01:39Lunchbox, square friends.
01:42Bakers, grab your pirate hats, because today we're sailing into Bikini Bottom.
01:47Surprise.
01:48That's awesome.
01:49Yes.
01:50Families love going to the movies during the holidays.
01:52So, have I got some news for you.
01:55Your challenge today is inspired by Paramount Pictures, the Spongebob movie, Search for Square
02:00Pants.
02:01Yay!
02:03It's coming to theaters on December 19th.
02:06Here's a special look.
02:09Watch out for the skeleton guardians!
02:12What?
02:13Watch out for me!
02:16Watch out for the wa-oof?
02:18Not sure what that means.
02:20Plus, it's hard to hear with all the sounds.
02:25Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's not that important.
02:27Yeah.
02:30Patrick, I think these are the guys who are gonna...
02:34Fortify our intestines!
02:36Spongebob and the gang are heading out on their biggest adventure yet.
02:45And today, your empire will turn that big screen moment into a blockbuster, edible, 3D movie poster.
02:53You'll pick a character from the movie and bring them to life.
03:01You'll design and build an edible frame, sculpt your character, and make them defy gravity.
03:08Oh, cool.
03:09We want these posters to feel alive, just like a scene from the movie.
03:13And since Spongebob is a sponge, yeah, sponge cake.
03:18But add some holiday flavors that would make even the Flying Dutchman smile.
03:22I absolutely love this challenge.
03:25I think it's amazing and it's gonna be so much fun.
03:28You'll display your posters in our very own theater in just eight hours.
03:35Lights!
03:36Camera!
03:37Action!
03:39Let's go, let's go, let's go.
03:40All right, all right, all right.
03:43So.
03:44Time.
03:45This is exciting.
03:46To plan.
03:47What character do you think we should do?
03:50SpongeBob!
03:50SpongeBob!
03:51Oh, sorry, sorry for asking.
03:54I am so excited for this.
03:56I come from a family who are big fans of SpongeBob.
04:00Is he gonna be our anti-gravity element?
04:01Yeah.
04:02He's the most recognizable character from the series,
04:04so we really have to get him spot on with all of the details.
04:07We are going to incorporate Gary.
04:10We're gonna have Plankton on the bottom of SpongeBob's shoe,
04:13and we're gonna have the Flying Dutchman kind of coming into the poster from the background.
04:17What are we gonna do for our frame?
04:18We can make it look like the bottom of the ocean still has certain details to it.
04:23Definitely some corals, flowers, you know, seaweed.
04:27Glad we have you for that.
04:29I'm sure you can come up with something.
04:30All right.
04:31As the newbie, I have to show that we can rock and roll.
04:36You know, you come onto a team that's already running,
04:38you hook to a locomotive, that thing's going down the track.
04:42You gotta show that you belong.
04:44I like Patrick.
04:45I mean, I love Patrick.
04:46Yeah, I gotta be Patrick.
04:47You gotta be Patrick.
04:48So my favorite SpongeBob character is Patrick.
04:51Because he's so goofy, he's so fun, he likes ice cream, just like I do.
04:56I swear, if I could be a starfish in another life, I would be, because they're lazy.
05:00They do nothing all day.
05:03Why wouldn't we have him, like, swinging from a rope or something?
05:06Yeah, and the rope can be the armature.
05:08Yeah, because then that way he's...
05:09Supported and suspended.
05:12We're gonna make Patrick swinging over this really creepy eyeball worm thing,
05:18tentacles moving around him.
05:21I actually dig that.
05:22I think we should definitely have an expression on him, like...
05:25Oh, right?
05:26Because, I mean, that's just what he does, right?
05:28Give him a t-shirt, give him pants.
05:29Do we have to give him pants?
05:32When we're watching the trailer and he jumps out of the trunk,
05:35and he's got, like, a loincloth made out of an eye patch.
05:37It's wonderful.
05:38I mean, listen, this is up on...
05:40It's on the trailer.
05:41It is.
05:41Lou and Holly, they have a sense of humor,
05:43and so I love that we all are stoked about the same things.
05:46Like, I feel like I've found my home in this team.
05:49Well, I think we've got a good plan.
05:51Yeah, I love it.
05:52Ready to do it?
05:53Yeah, I'm ready.
05:53Which character are we going to take?
05:56What about Mr. Krabs?
05:56He likes money.
05:57We want to win, right?
05:58Yeah, we want the money.
05:59Okay.
06:00Mr. Krabs.
06:01Now I feel very confident
06:03because I have finally a cake artist with me,
06:06and the paint piece, it's something I cannot do.
06:09I never make a character from cake.
06:11They have to defy gravity, so...
06:13I think if we have him kind of, like, up on a foot...
06:17So I'm going to have to rely on Cami to do the main piece.
06:20So he doesn't touch the floor, or he touched the floor?
06:22Are they maybe just one foot?
06:24I don't know.
06:25I'm not sure if it's enough for them
06:27because they want to defy gravity.
06:28Sure.
06:29And this, you don't defy gravity when you do this.
06:32So I don't make cakes like this very often.
06:36These gravity-defying, very, very recognizable characters.
06:40I am incredibly nervous.
06:42I do not want to let my new team down.
06:45What did you see?
06:46What characters did you like?
06:48The Flying Dutchman.
06:49Okay.
06:50That's, you know, the hardest one.
06:53It would be.
06:54I do think that might...
06:55In my opinion.
06:56Great idea.
06:57He seems like the most complicated character.
07:00I'm not sure about it.
07:01He'd be the coolest one to do as well, though.
07:02He was really cool.
07:03And I like the colors.
07:04I won't push someone to do something
07:06if they don't want to do it.
07:08Unless, well, maybe it's for the good of the Empire.
07:10You know, the team wants The Flying Dutchman,
07:13then it's got to be good.
07:14What other pieces do we want in there?
07:17Some version of his ship.
07:19Ship.
07:22I don't know quite how I feel about that.
07:24I think Elizabeth is a super strong leader.
07:27I think she really, really wants things her way.
07:29And sometimes that might come off intense.
07:31Just saying.
07:33We don't want it to be the main focal point.
07:34We don't want him to say, like,
07:36you know, this really cool big ship,
07:37but your main character, he's, like, this big.
07:40So maybe we'll have the ship small and high up.
07:43Yeah, so it looks like it's further up in the distance.
07:46Perfect.
07:46Our particular scene is in the underworld.
07:49So there's lots of, like, stalagmites and rock formations.
07:53Let's show them what we're made of.
07:55Let's freaking go.
07:55One, two, three.
07:56Let's freaking go.
07:57All right, let's get down to business.
08:00Let's make a cake, shall we?
08:01Got a busy day.
08:02Oh, my goodness.
08:04Oh, that's heavy.
08:05Are you ready, kids?
08:07Aye, aye, captain.
08:09I can't hear you.
08:11What do you guys think of these colors for the backboard?
08:13We're going to do a white to green to blue to dark fade
08:16like they're in the cave.
08:17Perfect.
08:18It's not just, like, a freestanding structure.
08:20So you actually have to make the picture frame
08:22that the pieces are in.
08:24Without, like, a good background,
08:25stuff just kind of lies flat.
08:27Okay, I'm going to do the pineapple confit inside, okay?
08:29Okay, perfect.
08:31As soon as that's out of the oven,
08:32then I can get started stocking cake.
08:34So the tasting element for the cake.
08:36First, I make a carrot cake
08:38with a vanilla whipped ganache
08:40and some pineapple confit in the middle.
08:42For this challenge,
08:43I'm making some very bright and intense flavor.
08:47The carrot cake go to the oven.
08:48Nice.
08:49Here we go.
08:50That's my way to do a cake.
08:52It's going to be magical.
08:53It's going to be magical.
08:55How do you say magical in French?
08:56Sorry, magique.
08:57Man, I feel so cultured.
08:59You guys are so cute.
09:01She's, like, in the middle of a love triangle now.
09:04You're telling me.
09:05Oh, come on.
09:07Coming into this new empire,
09:09I was a little worried about being a third wheel.
09:12They kind of have this bromance going on,
09:14so I wasn't sure how I was going to fit in.
09:16Hey, Nils, that bromance of yours and Francois,
09:18you guys end it?
09:19It's no longer a bromance.
09:22They kind of need to listen to me a little bit
09:23because this cake is the focal point,
09:26and that's my forte.
09:28So I'm going to make some edible fabric
09:31for Mr. Krabs' pirate bandana.
09:37Nice.
09:37So you take wafer paper
09:39and a mix of gelatin and glucose,
09:42and then it dries like fabric.
09:44You just cornstarch it,
09:46and then it can go around his eyes like a bandana.
09:49Look, guys.
09:51Nice.
09:52And Nils, I'm glad we got Kami
09:54because we're not so good in cake.
09:56I'm glad we get a cake artist.
09:57Oh, yeah.
09:58All right, I got little legs.
09:59I got his claws.
10:01I got his body.
10:02Oh, yeah.
10:02The cake is stacked.
10:04I'm just going to work around you
10:05so you can make Mr. Krabs.
10:06Mr. Krabs.
10:07Mm-hmm.
10:08Mr. Krabs really is just balanced
10:11on something the size of your fingers.
10:12I think it should be gravity-defying enough.
10:17Watch out, guys.
10:19Beep, beep, beep.
10:20I'm responsible for SpongeBob.
10:22Hello.
10:23Hello.
10:24I love doing 3D characters,
10:25but you don't have much time.
10:27Okay, I got to get my SpongeBob going.
10:29Heard.
10:31He's the most important part, you know?
10:33Yes.
10:33Because we're doing
10:34the most recognizable character,
10:35we're going to have to spend a lot of time
10:37and put a lot of work into SpongeBob himself.
10:40SpongeBob is the coolest.
10:43Tatiana is going to be focusing
10:44on bringing SpongeBob to life.
10:47I'm going to be working on the tasting element,
10:49and then Dana is going to be doing sugar techniques.
10:51There's an episode of SpongeBob.
10:53One of the characters' favorite ice cream flavor
10:55is prune ice cream with bran sprinkles.
10:59I'm going to do a bran cake.
11:01Hold up.
11:02That kind of sounds a little
11:04old home, retirement community.
11:08To tie the holiday in,
11:09I'm going to go kind of for, like,
11:11a sugarplum vibe.
11:13Uh-huh.
11:13As an old head,
11:14I'm listening to him.
11:15I'm like, I don't know.
11:17I know you're old school in the kitchen.
11:19I'm old school SpongeBob.
11:20All right.
11:21I want to get the SpongeBob set up and done.
11:25That should hold it together.
11:26Oh.
11:28Huh?
11:28They already builded it.
11:30Builded what?
11:31Our original plan was
11:32to put the background on
11:35before we put SpongeBob on,
11:37but Tatiana's already built up the cake.
11:39Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy.
11:41I was so worried about, you know,
11:43getting SpongeBob going.
11:45I completely forgot
11:46that we wanted to cover the board.
11:47Tatiana started building SpongeBob
11:49right on the piece.
11:51Now you can't lay the board down
11:53to put a nice, smooth piece of fondant on there.
11:56Yeah, I'm about to figure out
11:57how to paint it with sugar.
11:59We have to change our plans.
12:01It's not a great way
12:02to start building for our team.
12:03Better hurry up.
12:04Uh, change of plans.
12:10What?
12:10Um, we gonna...
12:13We can't lay the board down.
12:14As soon as we start building SpongeBob,
12:16we no longer can put it on its side
12:19to panel the background
12:21as we had originally planned.
12:22Do buttercream.
12:23We're gonna do buttercream on this side, okay?
12:25So do me a favor.
12:26Whenever you have a chance,
12:27mix buttercream that color.
12:29And I'm not feeling super great
12:30about this decision.
12:31Okay.
12:31Okay, because we don't have time
12:33to be laying this around.
12:34But as the leader on this team,
12:35as soon as I start to show
12:37that I'm panicking,
12:38I don't want that to kind of
12:39creep into the rest
12:41of how the team is feeling.
12:42I'm trying to keep things calm
12:43and collected.
12:44I have my brand cake
12:45and I'm doing an apricot
12:47and honey soak on it.
12:49And then on the inside,
12:50I have my dried fruit spice compote.
12:53It'll add a little bit of sweetness,
12:55but it'll also help prevent it
12:57from getting saga
12:57on the inside of the cake.
12:59You're working on sugar stuff,
13:00right, Dana?
13:00Yes, I am.
13:02I'm on sugar duty today.
13:04So, Tati, I'm going to pour this
13:05over the ice
13:06and it's going to make, like, coral.
13:07It's like the same idea
13:08with the chocolate, correct?
13:09Yeah.
13:10I have a lot going on.
13:12I have to pour, you know,
13:14giant leaves, sugar coral, fraying.
13:16I have a lot of different techniques
13:18that I have to get through.
13:21Oh, this is gorgeous.
13:24We got to get that sugar boom, boom, boom.
13:26I think somewhere there's
13:28a learning curve that has to happen
13:30between myself and my teammates
13:31to say, hey, listen,
13:33I can go about this fast with sugar.
13:35You go any faster,
13:36we're going to be calling medics.
13:38I'm going to need your help.
13:39Yeah, I'm here for you.
13:41That is very...
13:43It's all right.
13:44We'll stretch it out a little bit
13:45as much as we can.
13:45I will be painting the backdrop,
13:48which will be a good setting
13:49for the whole display
13:50that we're going to be making.
13:51Oh, yay!
13:53Look at that.
13:54Beautiful.
13:54Beautiful.
13:57Plug it in, Holly.
13:58It might be good.
14:01Moron.
14:01We are making a nutmeg flavoured cake
14:04with an apple pie filling,
14:06Irish cream liqueur buttercream
14:08and a praline crunch.
14:13Oh, yeah.
14:14So I'm taking on all the tasting,
14:16but I'm also going to sculpt Patrick.
14:18This is a lot.
14:20Some nice thin layers
14:22so they bake it fast.
14:23I've got to start Patrick's butt.
14:25Aren't you guys, like,
14:26in a relationship?
14:27We're in a situation status
14:29because he hasn't called me back.
14:30He won't commit.
14:31I know, he won't commit.
14:32I've always been kind of,
14:33like, a natural leader,
14:34but I realize with age
14:35that being a leader,
14:36I'm grouchy.
14:37I'm just grouchy as f***.
14:39I feel at ease here
14:41on this team,
14:42and I know that
14:44I'm not the weirdest.
14:46Hey.
14:46I feel more comfortable now
14:49not being a leader
14:51and just doing what I'm good at.
14:52So I'm sculpting eyeballs.
14:53We honed in on these eyeball things,
14:55and then I'm going to do the tentacles
14:57because, like,
14:58I could do tentacles
14:58with my eyes closed,
15:00and then I'm going to make rocks
15:01and seaweed and coral
15:04wherever I'm needed.
15:05This is my first challenge
15:06that I'm actually enjoying
15:08and excited about.
15:09Shh.
15:09Don't say it.
15:10Am I not allowed to say that?
15:11You can say it.
15:12Just, you know,
15:12Dana's right there.
15:14Okay.
15:15Uh-huh.
15:16Well, wasn't that
15:16some sugar honey iced tea?
15:19Guys, I'm going to make a honey cone
15:20for, like, some for the board
15:21and then some for the cake.
15:22Oh, my God.
15:22That's going to add
15:23another layer of texture, too.
15:24And that, yeah.
15:25It's just golden syrup and sugar,
15:27and then you add
15:27baking soda to it.
15:29The baking soda,
15:30it activates it
15:31and makes it
15:32that really nice
15:33sponge toffee.
15:34It's awesome.
15:36It's the best candy ever.
15:38All right.
15:38We have sea life.
15:39I love rice paper techniques.
15:42I'm just trying to give it
15:43as much texture as possible.
15:46Yay.
15:46Yay.
15:49Taking your mixer, Elizabeth.
15:51It's mine now.
15:52You got a cake person now.
15:54Are you cutting for my job?
15:56The first thing I'm going to hit
15:57is my tasting elements.
15:57I have to get those cakes
15:58in the oven
15:59so they can cool down
16:00along with all my fillers.
16:01Let's make a green inside.
16:02Okay.
16:03Maybe, like, a pistachio
16:03so, like, when you cut it,
16:04it's green on the inside.
16:05I'm going to do, like,
16:05an egg white cake
16:06based cake.
16:07I'm going to use the egg yolks
16:08to make it French butter.
16:09I think it's very, like,
16:11no one uses it anymore.
16:12So I think it's going to be,
16:12like, a nice richness.
16:14And I think the judges
16:14will appreciate it because it's...
16:15Well, especially Jacques.
16:16You did the French buttercream for me.
16:18I would definitely say
16:19I'm a great pastry chef.
16:20I really know how to mesh flavors
16:21very, very well.
16:22Elizabeth needs to focus
16:22on the character.
16:23I really, really want to work hard
16:25to show Elizabeth
16:26that she made the right decision
16:27by choosing me.
16:28I think you like this color.
16:30Yes.
16:30Perfect.
16:30It's nice to have someone
16:32to bring the lightheartedness
16:33into the group.
16:34I know you want to try it.
16:35Say it.
16:37Hi.
16:38Why, thank you.
16:39Ha.
16:39Do-do-do-do-do.
16:40Do-do-do.
16:43It's a bit much.
16:46We're so corny.
16:48We divided the responsibilities
16:49to our strengths.
16:50So I'm responsible
16:51for all of the chocolate work.
16:53I'm making two large panels
16:55that are sort of a backdrop
16:56of stalagmites.
16:58I'm also in charge of the frame,
16:59which will be planks
17:00that are going to go around
17:02the border of the poster.
17:03Renu?
17:03Yes.
17:04I'm leaving a border
17:06onto the wood,
17:08so I'm removing the fondant,
17:09so that way
17:10our big chocolate-heavy frame
17:11has something nice
17:12and strong to adhere to.
17:16Okay.
17:17The frame is super important.
17:19Flying Dutchman
17:20has a rickety ship,
17:21so for our border,
17:22we're going to do chocolate
17:23slats and planks.
17:24Remember the plan.
17:25Okay, remember the plan.
17:27Your chocolate needs
17:28to be able to stick to wood.
17:29Of course, of course.
17:32When I'm doing something
17:33that I know a lot about,
17:35it can get frustrating
17:36if someone's bossing me around.
17:37Got to get those proportions right.
17:42Elizabeth, I hear you need a sword
17:43for Mr. Flying Dutchman over there.
17:46Yeah.
17:46I'm making it sharp
17:47like an actual blade.
17:48Get that all nice and sharp
17:49at the top.
17:50We want this to look real
17:51and normal.
17:53Now it looks like a real sword.
17:57I'm making the chocolate anchor
17:58for the ship.
17:59So I made a little mould
18:01to make this anchor.
18:03We also have a little skull
18:04and crossbones from the mast
18:06and kind of, you know,
18:08goes with the Flying Dutchman.
18:09This is a dark chocolate
18:11that I'm using right now.
18:12I find dark chocolate
18:13is just a stronger chocolate
18:14for a structural work,
18:16so I like to use dark.
18:18Yeah, this isn't half weird at all.
18:20Gravity-defying
18:21is always going to be a challenge.
18:24Getting the structure proper
18:26and making sure
18:28that Patrick stays in the air
18:30is a bit tricky
18:33and you never know
18:34if it's going to work
18:35until you start
18:36to put the cake on.
18:38He's falling.
18:39No.
18:40Because he's falling down already.
18:41Oh.
18:42His booty is just too heavy
18:45and he starts to slide
18:47down the structure.
18:48Are you guys okay?
18:50Uh.
18:50What's wrong?
18:51He's falling all the way down.
18:53Yeah, he's just going to fall.
18:54What do you want me to hold
18:55so you can...
18:55Nothing.
18:55Okay.
18:56I got it.
18:56This is a nightmare.
18:58This is the biggest part
19:00of the piece.
19:01We can't have Patrick
19:03without legs.
19:04Okay.
19:05Kill me now.
19:06I'm going to end up
19:07at the bottom
19:08of Bikini Bottom
19:09and my empire
19:10is going to dissolve.
19:16So what happened?
19:17My body was way too heavy
19:19so now I've got to try
19:21and work out how to put...
19:22make this stay here.
19:24Patrick's falling.
19:25This is a nightmare.
19:28I'm frustrated.
19:30Yeah, we don't have time
19:31for this crap.
19:323D cakes are my jam.
19:34I literally do them
19:35in the baker
19:35at least once a week.
19:37Praise to the cake gods.
19:38I can see over
19:39at Holly's team
19:39and they're struggling
19:41a little bit
19:42which is honestly
19:44kind of shocking.
19:45You guys figure something out?
19:46Yeah, we'll pivot.
19:47That's what I do.
19:49I'm the leader
19:49so I have to get this right.
19:51Oh girl.
19:52Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:55Ta-da!
19:56Woo!
19:57High five.
19:57Well done.
20:00I feel like I've lost an hour.
20:02Well, that was one disaster
20:03I didn't want to do today
20:04but hey,
20:05we pivoted
20:06and we made it work.
20:07We're going to put
20:07chocolate melts in here
20:08to fill it in.
20:09Smooth them all out.
20:10I'll start stuck in the cake.
20:12She'll be apples, mate.
20:13We got this.
20:13It's going to be fine.
20:14I got my eye on you.
20:17I'm going to finish these up
20:18and then I'll airbrush them
20:19and they'll be ready.
20:21Now I'm doing the panna cotta
20:22and after I will do the macaron.
20:24Excellent.
20:25Little bit of chocolate.
20:26I'm so happy you know chocolate
20:28so I can focus on my tasting
20:30and you do all the chocolate work.
20:31We're going to do two jellyfish eyes
20:33spinning on the top of the backboard.
20:35We'll have the tentacles gravity defying
20:37and they're really fragile
20:39so ultimately
20:40it has to be extremely precise.
20:42That's going to be my buns
20:43for the little burger.
20:45I want to make patty crabs.
20:47Patty Krabby?
20:48What's it?
20:49Patty crabs?
20:50I'm doing the macaron now.
20:51So I'm making a macaron
20:52eggnog panna cotta
20:53with caramelized white chocolate
20:55and a mango jelly.
20:56Those are cool.
20:58Looks great.
20:59You want a little burger
20:59for the patty Krabby?
21:01Patty crabs.
21:02Patty crabs.
21:04He keeps calling them
21:05Patty crabs.
21:06They're supposed to be
21:07Krabby Patties.
21:09It is
21:09so endearing
21:11and so funny.
21:13It's all we say in France, okay?
21:15I know I hear the name in French.
21:16I'm trying to get it.
21:17It's not the Krabby Patty.
21:19Uh, no.
21:20That's not right.
21:22All right.
21:23Where we are?
21:23Just have to
21:25get the main components done
21:27so we can start building.
21:28Just make them look real pirate-y.
21:30Getting this started to get covered,
21:32I feel
21:32better.
21:33So time flies
21:35so very quickly.
21:37We still have to put clothes on.
21:38We still have to put the hat on.
21:39We still have to get
21:41Mr. Krabs
21:42onto the base.
21:44There's so many things
21:45that we have to do
21:46and kind of do them
21:47simultaneously.
21:48So many gold accents,
21:50details,
21:51all those little things
21:53that really bring a character
21:54to life
21:55have to be done
21:56so we are
21:57under the gun.
21:58How you doing old school?
22:00You know,
22:00just writing them books
22:01y'all be reading.
22:02Aaron's literally younger
22:04than one of my children.
22:06How are you feeling, kiddo?
22:08Yeah, I see you, Sarah.
22:10Old school.
22:11I'm 47.
22:12Millennials and Gen Z,
22:14they, like, have no idea.
22:15Gen X and what?
22:16Like, we're hardcore.
22:17We're the OG gangsters.
22:19We're not old school.
22:20What is he talking about?
22:21Little whippersnapper.
22:23We just over here
22:23working on your lesson plan.
22:25Oh, really?
22:26Oh, really?
22:27Dude, bring it on, Aaron.
22:29Wow.
22:31Shots fired.
22:31Why is everyone
22:32shooting fire now today?
22:34You all were so nice
22:35in the beginning.
22:36We see your true colors,
22:37all of you.
22:38Now it's like...
22:39I'm gonna blame it
22:42on perimenopause.
22:43Don't with a menopausal woman.
22:48Does this look like a nose?
22:50Yeah.
22:50Looks good.
22:51Looks like SpongeBob's nose.
22:53Aaron is like
22:54a SpongeBob encyclopedia.
22:56He knows that
22:57a cartoon by heart.
22:58Does this look legit?
22:59I need you just
23:00to keep an eye because...
23:01That looks good.
23:02He has a very big,
23:03cheesy smile.
23:04I'm, like,
23:05checkpointing with him.
23:06Is this good?
23:07Is the size good?
23:07Is the color good?
23:08Nice dimples.
23:09Just gotta make sure
23:10you get the freckles
23:10on there, too.
23:11Holy cow.
23:12This kid really did
23:13grow up on SpongeBob.
23:15He's got his game together.
23:16Like, our empire
23:17is not crumbling today.
23:19Is this legit?
23:20No, Aaron.
23:21Everything he does
23:22is legit.
23:23We be putting the beard on.
23:24Holy cheese and crackers.
23:27That beard is everything.
23:28The Flying Dutchman
23:29is meant to be
23:30gravity-defying
23:31and is a ghost,
23:33so we really don't want
23:34to have any poles
23:35coming out the bottom
23:36that we're gonna hide.
23:37It's like a seamstress.
23:38Just hold.
23:40For a ghost
23:41to truly be
23:42hovering and gravity-defying,
23:44we're gonna have
23:44our support out the back,
23:45and I think that's gonna be
23:46the coolest way to do him.
23:48Renu, I'm starting
23:49the stock shortbread cookies.
23:51What a gorgeous color.
23:52I added some pistachio
23:53and some citrus zest,
23:54so I did lime, lemon, orange.
23:56Sounds delicious.
23:57You're so good
23:58with those flavors.
23:58Thanks.
24:00Just gonna adjust
24:01your coattails.
24:02Elizabeth.
24:03Yes.
24:03The Flying Dutchman
24:04only eats with socks.
24:06He does.
24:06Got sock cookies.
24:08Oh, those are so cute.
24:09And they look like socks, too.
24:11I can put them
24:11in the treasure chest.
24:13Ah.
24:14Can you make it open?
24:15I can make it open.
24:16Let's do that.
24:17Going into the oven.
24:19All right.
24:21Next.
24:21I'm working on my
24:22Esimalt now.
24:23I'm also gonna take care
24:24of a bunch of sugar elements.
24:26Oh, that looks awesome.
24:27That looks really, really good.
24:33Bakers, you have 30 minutes.
24:35One half hour.
24:36Aw.
24:37Give me some of that pink,
24:38and I'll go,
24:39while you're mixing it together.
24:40I haven't even started
24:41to cover, Patrick.
24:43Let's get on there,
24:44all three of us,
24:44one each side.
24:45Right?
24:45Got it.
24:46And start smoothing him.
24:48Yeah.
24:48Come on, Lou.
24:49Come on, Sarah.
24:50Let's get this.
24:51Breathe for me, girl.
24:51Breathe.
24:52Come back to life.
24:54We were exhausted,
24:55but, you know, we're moms,
24:56so when you're a mom,
24:57you have no time to complain.
24:59You have to just get it done.
25:00We have a fondant smoother.
25:02Yes.
25:02I don't have time
25:03to really smooth him out,
25:04and I'm not happy.
25:05Way too many bumps and lumps.
25:07No, I've just got a fear bubble
25:08that won't go away.
25:09But he's getting a shirt.
25:11As a mom,
25:12nobody else is gonna do it,
25:13so no one's crying here.
25:15No, we're just gonna keep moving.
25:17Put your shoes on.
25:17Let's go.
25:18I've never been so tired.
25:2020 minutes remaining.
25:22Move fast.
25:22We only got 20 minutes.
25:24I need to cover his hat with that.
25:26Where's his hat?
25:26I don't have it done yet.
25:28We have a lot of things to apply.
25:29We do.
25:30I have a partially made face.
25:32I have floating arm picks.
25:35The shelf is a problem.
25:37No, it's not a problem.
25:38For my border, it is.
25:39I'm in charge of the frame.
25:40Just carve a chunk out.
25:41These details, they're important.
25:43Focus on the things
25:44that are most important.
25:45I've gotta quickly come in
25:47with shoulders and arms.
25:49I'm gonna be right over here.
25:50Is that gonna be manageable?
25:52No.
25:52Okay.
25:53There is chocolate stuff everywhere.
25:55Oh, it's everywhere.
25:56I don't think that
25:59Elizabeth respects chocolate.
26:01Chocolate.
26:02Love it, but me.
26:03And, uh, yeah.
26:06She's not, you know,
26:08as into chocolate as I am.
26:09Dana, we gotta start
26:11covering the background
26:12with buttercream.
26:13Dana and I are painting
26:14the background.
26:15Where are we on time?
26:16Not enough.
26:17That's where we're at.
26:18Or I guess
26:18smearing buttercream all over it.
26:20Don't put too, too much, guys.
26:22Just lightly.
26:23Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
26:24It's a really awkward angle.
26:26He can paint over this,
26:27but he needs some creases,
26:28you know?
26:29Patrick has his striped shirt on,
26:31and it'll just be faster
26:32for me to paint.
26:33Gonna wear whatever
26:33bloody shirt that we've got.
26:36I think it's enough.
26:37Gonna have to be at this point.
26:39We need chocolate
26:39to paint on this
26:40to match the other.
26:41We got money
26:42that needs to go on,
26:43coral that needs to go on,
26:44tasting element.
26:45We're exactly where
26:45we need to be.
26:46We're ballin'.
26:47Stop talking like that,
26:48calm, cool collector.
26:49How dare you?
26:50One minute remaining, bakers.
26:52Just get it on there.
26:53You have to hurry.
26:55Oh, something just fell.
26:56We've got stagmots falling.
26:57Oop, the claw's going.
26:59Okay.
27:00Give me a skewer.
27:00Skewer?
27:01Yeah, right there.
27:02I feel a ton of pressure
27:03knowing that if I mess up Mr. Krabs,
27:06we're screwed.
27:07Now move.
27:09One of the very, very last things
27:11that I'm trying to do
27:11with the hands.
27:12I need to get to the head area, okay?
27:14They're kind of soft,
27:15and I don't know
27:16if those are gonna hold up
27:17in the positions
27:18that I want them to be.
27:19Coal spray.
27:20Keep going, go.
27:21We need to glue this.
27:22You can, hold on.
27:23Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
27:28five, four, three, two, one.
27:34Hands up, bakers.
27:36Thank you, thanks.
27:36Oh, yeah.
27:37Oh, God.
27:38I'm looking all around,
27:39and I see everybody with frame,
27:42and I'm like,
27:43did we have to make a frame?
27:46Woo.
27:48I'm definitely nervous.
27:49I can see parts of exposed wood
27:51on our backboard,
27:51which is a huge no-no.
27:53That was a lot of frickin' work.
27:54I really want to keep
27:55my empire intact,
27:56but I'm really kicking myself
27:58for not having done
27:59the backboard first.
28:00Bakers, today we asked you
28:15to make a 3-D poster
28:17inspired by the SpongeBob movie
28:19Search for Square Pants.
28:21We'll be looking for
28:22how the character
28:23in your movie poster
28:24came to life,
28:25and we'll be paying
28:26close attention
28:26to how it defies gravity.
28:28And we really want
28:30to taste the flavor
28:32of the holidays
28:32in your creation.
28:34Those flavors
28:34have to be delicious and bold.
28:37Up first is Aaron's Empire.
28:40So when I think of the holidays,
28:42I think of a joyous time of year,
28:43and I don't think
28:44that there's a better character
28:45within the series
28:46or the movie
28:46that encapsulates that
28:47than SpongeBob himself.
28:49We wanted to include
28:50a lot of details.
28:51If you notice,
28:51there's Plankton
28:52on the bottom of his shoe.
28:53We have his pet Gary here.
28:54And unbeknownst to him,
28:55we have the Flying Dutchman ship
28:57slowly kind of entering
28:58the scene
28:58from the background.
29:00Gary!
29:02He's fast for a snail.
29:04Look at that.
29:04He is a fast snail.
29:06You know,
29:06French love snail.
29:07Escargot.
29:08Escargot.
29:10Be careful.
29:11Jacques's gonna eat him.
29:13I love how bright
29:15and punchy
29:16your cake is.
29:18Main character energy.
29:19I think movie posters,
29:20the whole point
29:21is to jump out at you
29:22and make you want
29:23to see the movie,
29:23and this piece
29:24definitely does that.
29:25I love the color.
29:27I love the defying gravity.
29:28I love the movements.
29:29The 3D of the boat
29:30coming out
29:31of the poster
29:32is outstanding.
29:33What's catching my eye
29:34is we can see
29:35exposed board,
29:37and it just feels
29:38like such a mess.
29:39Imagine a customer
29:40that you deliver a cake
29:42and they can see the board.
29:43They will say,
29:44what's happened here?
29:45It's not finished.
29:46We were supposed to
29:47carve it in fondant.
29:48I'm really disappointed
29:50in myself
29:51with the fact
29:52that we have
29:52this exposed wood
29:53on the backboard.
29:55This could be
29:56the difference
29:56between us
29:57moving on intact
29:59as an empire
30:00or the empire dissolving.
30:01Aaron,
30:02maybe we can cut
30:03into this thing
30:04and try it out.
30:05Aaron,
30:06can you explain
30:06the flavors?
30:08One of the character's
30:09favorite flavor
30:10of ice cream
30:11is prune ice cream
30:12with bran sprinkles.
30:14Okay.
30:14So we have a bran cake
30:16with a honey
30:18and apricot soak.
30:19There is a compo
30:20of all of the dried fruit
30:21and spices
30:21you'll get classically
30:22in a sugar plum,
30:24a rum and golden raisin
30:26cream cheese mousse,
30:27and then a nut crunch
30:29in there
30:29for some texture.
30:30Bran cake
30:31is not something
30:31I expect,
30:32but I have to say
30:33the rum soak,
30:34the fruits and the spices,
30:36as well as the filling
30:38that you've chosen,
30:39all work very well together.
30:42It does taste
30:43like the holidays.
30:43It's not too moist,
30:45but we have some moisture.
30:46It's not dry.
30:47So that show
30:47how good you are
30:48because this is not
30:49an easy thing to pull.
30:50Aaron,
30:51you can tell
30:52that you're a fan
30:52of SpongeBob
30:53and it really shines
30:54through on your guys' piece.
30:56It's delicious.
30:56Well done.
30:59Holly, Sarah, and Lou.
31:03Ooh.
31:04Look at the light.
31:05Oh my God.
31:06So Patrick here
31:07is swinging to freedom
31:09and escaping
31:10all the evilness.
31:11There sure is
31:13a lot to look at
31:14and I mean that
31:15in a good way.
31:16Lou, I want to compliment
31:17you on that painting.
31:19These eyeballs
31:20in the back,
31:21creepy and wonderful.
31:23The legs
31:23with the tentacles
31:24are amazing.
31:25The fact that
31:25there was movement.
31:26Patrick is larger than life
31:29and you really made him
31:31defy gravity.
31:32He's happy.
31:33Look at that smile.
31:34Yes.
31:34Yeah.
31:35I'm just happy
31:36Patrick is wearing
31:37bikini bottoms,
31:38you know?
31:39It's an eye patch.
31:40I wish he was
31:41a little cleaner.
31:43I also wish
31:43that the stripes
31:44on his shirt
31:45were a little more straight.
31:47Miranda,
31:48you're completely right.
31:49Bigger the cake,
31:50more flow will show.
31:51That's always like that.
31:53I mean,
31:53that doesn't mean
31:53you need to do
31:54something tiny
31:55but it's very hard
31:57to hide or two.
31:58So be careful
31:59with the time.
31:59That's very important.
32:01Yep.
32:01Knew it was coming.
32:03Like,
32:03I saw it a mile away.
32:04Patrick's bumpy
32:05and lumpy
32:06but maybe he just had
32:07too many Krabby Patties.
32:08I've never had starfish
32:09but I'd like to try.
32:11So we have
32:12a vanilla nutmeg sponge
32:13soaked with
32:14an Irish cream liqueur,
32:16an apple pie filling
32:17with an Irish cream
32:19Swiss meringue
32:20and pecan praline
32:22for a little crunch.
32:24I love apple pie.
32:25This is delicious.
32:26I can feel the apple.
32:27I can feel everything.
32:28Bold flavor
32:29and the holy day.
32:30It's like a warm hug.
32:31Yeah.
32:32You know,
32:33I want to eat this
32:33on a couch.
32:34This was a lot of fun.
32:36Thank you guys so much.
32:37It was fun for us.
32:37Francois,
32:41Nils,
32:41Cami.
32:42You've come in between
32:43this beautiful relationship.
32:45My babies.
32:47Oh, jeez.
32:49We have Mr. Krab
32:50that is running
32:51to save Spochbomb
32:52from the underworld.
32:53So he's only on one leg
32:55and he's trying to carry
32:56in the same time
32:56the paddy crabs
32:58and some fall on the floor.
33:00The Krabby Patties.
33:01The Krabby Patties.
33:02Overall,
33:04it's very bright
33:05and colorful.
33:07His shell is nice
33:07and shiny
33:08and crabby.
33:09What I'm concerned about
33:10is he doesn't appear
33:11as gravity defying
33:13as some of the other Kegs.
33:14He's on one leg.
33:15His legs are just
33:16this big.
33:18So I'm actually
33:20kind of annoyed.
33:21Mr. Krabs
33:22is on one leg.
33:23How much more
33:25gravity defying
33:26do you need?
33:26He's definitely
33:28the best dressed.
33:30His outfit is
33:31better than Patrick's.
33:34He's so fired.
33:37Wow.
33:38Wow.
33:39Savage.
33:40Another thing
33:40that we did ask you
33:43is to build a frame
33:44around the poster
33:46on the back
33:47and there is no frame.
33:49So in a way
33:50the poster
33:50looks a little bit
33:51unfinished
33:52the way it is.
33:54I feel stupid
33:54as a leader
33:55to, you know,
33:57miss something
33:58that important.
33:59We got two
34:00tasting elements.
34:01The cake is going to be
34:02traditional American
34:03carrot cake
34:04that you find
34:04in the holiday
34:05but I added
34:06some pineapple
34:07and then
34:08the little sandwich
34:09is macaron
34:10with eggnod
34:11panacotta
34:12caramelized white chocolate
34:13and then mango jelly.
34:15Macaron.
34:16Macaron.
34:18I love it.
34:19Look,
34:20you make fun of me
34:20all the time
34:21so you know
34:21I need to make fun
34:22of you a little bit.
34:23Carrot and pineapple
34:25go well together.
34:27Oh my gosh
34:28and the Krabby Patty
34:29you have the nice
34:30shell of the macaron
34:31and then
34:32the eggnog
34:33really shines through.
34:35Yeah.
34:35Thank you guys so much.
34:37They love the taste
34:38they love the color
34:38they love the character
34:39that there's a couple
34:40little technicalities
34:41that could cost us.
34:42Elizabeth,
34:43Renu,
34:44Jonathan.
34:46Oh my God
34:48look at that.
34:48The whole part
34:49of the Flying Dutchman
34:50is he's rather eerie
34:51and he's very expressive.
34:53That's part of his character.
34:54He has a bag of soles
34:56that he always has nearby
34:57and apparently
34:58he also can't eat
35:00unless he has his sock.
35:02I guess it's like
35:03a comfort thing.
35:04So we have for you
35:05a special little treat
35:06inside the chest as well
35:08because you can't eat
35:09your tasting
35:09without a sock
35:10just like the Flying Dutchman.
35:12Chocolate walk is great.
35:15You can see
35:15the wood imitation
35:17the way it's cracked
35:18on the side
35:18the front wood
35:20the anchor.
35:21I love it.
35:22You know,
35:22the sugar walk
35:23is beautiful.
35:24Overall,
35:24it really tells a story.
35:26The Flying Dutchman himself,
35:28he's well sculpted.
35:29In terms of defying gravity,
35:32he does it very well.
35:33He looks like
35:34he's just sort of
35:35swam in from
35:36the underworld.
35:37I do think
35:38you spent a little
35:38too much time
35:39on the detail
35:40of his body
35:41and then when we
35:41get down to
35:42his sleeves
35:43and certainly
35:44his fingers
35:45on his right hand
35:46we can see
35:47some of the pieces
35:49not as sturdy
35:50and falling off
35:51with exposing
35:52some wire.
35:54I would love
35:55to try
35:56the Flying Dutchman.
35:57Our cake
35:57is a pistachio cake
35:59with pomegranate
36:00cranberry compote
36:01and pistachio brittle
36:02pomegranate arrows
36:03and that French buttercream.
36:04It is a French
36:05listen to the accent.
36:09This is good cake!
36:11Definitely taste
36:12the holidays.
36:13I really love
36:14the cranberry pomegranate.
36:17It's nice and bright
36:17next to the richness
36:18of the pistachios
36:20and of course
36:21the French buttercream
36:22which is the richest
36:23of them all.
36:24Pomegranate
36:24is a pretty rare
36:25fruit to find
36:26into cakes.
36:27I think this is
36:28the first cake
36:28that I eat
36:29with pomegranate.
36:30It's a good cake.
36:31Thank you guys so much.
36:32This was fantastic.
36:34It may have had
36:35minor flaws
36:35but I want us to win
36:37that way Elizabeth
36:38can feel like
36:38she made the right decision.
36:40I gotta say
36:40all four empires
36:41did a fantastic job today.
36:43We were really
36:44really impressed.
36:45The competition
36:46is getting tougher.
36:47Every detail
36:48matters.
36:49Otherwise
36:49we are going home
36:51crumbled.
36:52The winning empire
36:53had a lot
36:55of beautiful elements
36:56that really came together
36:58and told us
36:59a story.
37:01In first place
37:02In first place
37:12Elizabeth's empire.
37:19Paul?
37:20Well done.
37:20Way to go.
37:22Way to go.
37:24You can see
37:25positive attitude
37:26positive results.
37:29We won!
37:30Flipping egg!
37:31What a surprise.
37:33I mean
37:34slap me
37:35and call me an auntie
37:36or whatever it's called
37:37the saying is
37:38I mean
37:38I can't believe it.
37:39How do you guys feel?
37:40Fabulous.
37:41Shocked.
37:41Amazing.
37:43We haven't won anything yet
37:45as an empire
37:46of three,
37:47two,
37:48solo.
37:49It's just been
37:50kind of close
37:51but just
37:52not quite there.
37:53So it's just a big
37:54big surprise.
37:56So our next
37:56favorite empire
37:57had a lot of color
37:59a beautiful
38:01presentation
38:02and we had
38:03again
38:03very good flavors
38:05important.
38:07The second
38:07winning empire
38:08is
38:09Eren Empire.
38:14Holy
38:15It feels good
38:19to be moving up
38:20in the world.
38:20I think
38:20with the addition
38:22of Dana
38:22to our team
38:23we were able
38:23to elevate
38:24each other
38:25in a way
38:25that helped
38:26us do
38:27just that much
38:27better
38:28than the previous
38:28cake.
38:29The young boy
38:31does love
38:32the old school.
38:35Francois's empire
38:36and Holly's empire
38:38today one of your
38:39empires will fall.
38:40I know it's not
38:41my best work.
38:42I know it sucks.
38:43It's just
38:43not good.
38:46Both these teams
38:47are incredible
38:47but one stood out
38:49above the other.
38:50So I'm feeling
38:51a little down.
38:52It didn't look
38:53like it was
38:53gravity defying.
38:55I definitely
38:56don't want to be
38:56responsible for
38:57breaking up
38:58this bromance.
38:59The third place
39:00empire is
39:01Holly.
39:07Oh.
39:09Oh.
39:11I'm going to have
39:12a lot of time.
39:12Thank goodness.
39:13Oh, thank goodness.
39:15You work so well
39:16together.
39:17You smile,
39:18you help each other
39:19but also
39:20look at the clock.
39:21Make a schedule
39:22and you will shine
39:24even more.
39:26So, Francois,
39:28how do you feel?
39:29That's it.
39:30No more bromance.
39:33This is my chance
39:35to nab
39:36Francois
39:37and to bring him
39:38on board
39:38and have him
39:39join our empire.
39:41Francois Empire.
39:43One of the problems
39:44today was
39:45an unfinished
39:46presentation.
39:47I love my empire.
39:49I want to continue
39:50with them
39:50but it's over.
39:51My empire
39:52crumble.
39:54In this game,
39:55empires rise
39:56and empires fall.
39:59But not today.
40:01Oh.
40:01Oh.
40:04All of you
40:05knocked it out
40:05of the park today
40:06and we'd like to see
40:07these four empires
40:09work together again.
40:12I feel like I was
40:17a bad luck charm.
40:19You're good luck charm.
40:22Look at that.
40:24I hope you like
40:25the team you're on
40:26because all four empires
40:27will move on
40:28intact
40:29to the next challenge.
40:30The bromance
40:32remains.
40:36It is
40:37bloody bonkers.
40:38We didn't get to
40:39bring anyone on
40:39or get to pick
40:40who's coming on
40:41to our empire.
40:42We didn't get anyone
40:43for our empire.
40:45Elizabeth,
40:46your empire is going
40:47to get an advantage
40:47in the next challenge.
40:49You're going to want
40:50this advantage
40:51because in the next round
40:53the losing empire
40:55will be eliminated.
40:59This competition
41:00is so fierce.
41:01We have so much
41:02more to prove
41:03and I'm not ready
41:04to go home.
41:05Elizabeth's empire,
41:06you'll find out
41:07your advantage soon
41:08but none of you
41:09are safe
41:10from elimination.
41:12This is insane.
41:13I seriously
41:14have no idea
41:14like what's
41:16going to happen next.
41:17So fight like you mean it
41:18because you're all
41:18baking to survive.
41:22Next time
41:23on Sweet Empire
41:24you'll create
41:25a hyper-realistic
41:26holiday feast.
41:28This is my jam.
41:29Each team
41:30will create
41:31realistic
41:32seasonal dishes.
41:33We don't have time.
41:35Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
41:36Big enough
41:36to feed an entire family.
41:38This fish
41:38is so important.
41:40Today one of your empires
41:41will fall
41:41and you'll be going home.
41:43Holy
41:43this next challenge
41:45someone's going home
41:46and not just one
41:47the whole empire.
41:48Time is ticking.
41:49We have a legit
41:50chance of winning.
41:51The question is
41:52can we finish this thing?
41:54Oh that lo mein bowl
41:55I think it's cleaned up.
41:56What?
41:57Oh
41:57I think there's
41:59a lot of hard work.
