01:00how do you think it is that your team has made it this far well i think i picked the best people
01:05i could find we just work as a great team because we use the best of each other i cannot believe we're
01:14in the finale i was like this close to being sent home in the first challenge this all seems so surreal
01:21our empire is flying a little bit under the radar so we're ready for a breakout in the finale elizabeth
01:27how does it feel to get your empire this far in the competition honestly i i'm i'm shocked everyone
01:34here is so so good i know obviously everyone always wants to win my motivation for this one is about
01:40being recognized for the skill that i have and that my empire has so i do want to win this our empire has
01:46really come a long way we're gonna make magic fifty thousand dollars is on the line but more
01:52importantly the winner of sweet empire we want that title so it all comes down to this last challenge
01:59both empires have battled their way to the top and now an epic showdown awaits the winning empire today
02:06will walk away with fifty thousand dollars so let's cut to the chase for the first time ever we're
02:15giving you complete creative freedom let your imaginations run wild we want to see the strengths
02:24of your empire presented in your creation this isn't just a showpiece this is your empire's grand finale
02:32this challenge has no rules it's just do whatever you want this is the hardest thing about this
02:37because there are so many ideas in my head and we have to come up with something and stick with one
02:42thing the judges want to see remarkable creativity incredible technique and a tasting element worthy of
02:49this stage in the game now show us a holiday world only your empire could create you've got 11 hours
02:56to create your show piece and for the last time your time starts now this is the big show we're in the
03:08finale i seriously can't believe it what is christmas for you what's the strength of the empire we're good
03:16on chocolate we're good on cake we have to mix all of this yeah we definitely have to make a mix of
03:21everything let's do it well i remember christmas vacation with my parents and we were in a chalet
03:27in the alp and this chalet like warmed my heart all the time i see it the wood texture and we were
03:33building the snowman with my brother i remember this huge you know christmas tree that was everywhere
03:39the pine tree so i think we should try to do a chalet yes with a snowman on the front
03:45and a pine tree you know we're gonna be making a chocolate chalet it'll have a chimney we're gonna try
03:50have some smoke coming out of it we'll have a giant chocolate tree it's gonna be spinning we're
03:53not going to use any support structure and it's a risk the house could fall at any given time but
03:59you're trying to impress the judges right so we are going to do a technically difficult build that
04:05nobody else could do sounds good i've never had christmas in the alps so i i'm willing to go there
04:12with you guys this journey is like a roller coaster we have the upper end on this challenge because
04:17we're working so good together we're gonna win this challenge for sure let's do it i'm ready we
04:23need a story and how it correlates back to us or growth as a team well i mean i know what that is
04:28obviously like it's i know it sounds it sounds corny and cheesy but for us it was the whole like
04:33relinquishing control coming together me relying on you guys more knowing that when times get tough or
04:39something goes wrong help is always there yeah so what about if santa claus is in a predicament where he
04:43needs help we could do the yeti carrying center's sack and center could be like on his back on his
04:51back for our piece we're gonna have a 3d sculpted yeti carrying center's bag on his back we want to
04:59have a gorgeous background we're gonna have a really cool archway we're also gonna have a little baby
05:05yeti trekking along on the journey this is the finale and we want to win so you're meant to go big and
05:12create something that no one else can create that's the whole point all right i think we got
05:17a plan yeah that sounds good i'm just gonna go into casting these big pieces because we have to
05:24get them set i'm gonna make royal icing and so we can make all of the little royal icing decorations
05:31i'm making the coconut cake right now perfect i think what difference my team and elizabeth team
05:36on term of leadership is i don't push them as much i let them feel comfortable i let them feel
05:42doing what they do the best this is my royal icing ready to start piping accent pieces kami is gonna
05:49have to decorate the whole house we got to make walls roofs support bars everything is made out of
05:54chocolate there's no support structure in there other than chocolate it's like building an actual
05:59house nia's gonna make all the cutting for the chocolate and i'm gonna make all the recipes i want
06:04to build a cake that's gonna look like a pina colada so my goal is to have a coconut and rum ganache
06:10with a pineapple confit and a chiffon cake with coconuts i'm making like a tropical cocktail inside a
06:16snowman so to reinforce the taste of the coconut i'm gonna add some coconut flake that already toasted
06:23it's almost like cold and hot too much contrast maybe so it's a big risk but i think risk always paid
06:29off if it works everyone knows what they're working on yep i'm getting started on the tasting element
06:34elizabeth per usual awesome i'm gonna start stacking some cake okay yeah i'm gonna pour all
06:39the chocolate for our piece we're gonna try to focus on making sure we really make the use of
06:45everyone's skills oh i can't believe this is the finale i'm gonna start focusing on the yeti because
06:52he's so big i'm just making a few jingle bells rainu's going to be focusing on showcasing her awesome
06:58chocolate skills she's going to make our chocolate archway she's also going to do some hand sculpted
07:02chocolate work and she's going to be jumping on that yeti with me sugar sugar sugar sugar
07:07and of course we're going to put to use jonathan's sugar skills he's going to be blowing sugar ornaments
07:12making snowflakes for us and he's also going to be doing both tastings this is definitely a group effort
07:19so i think my taste element i'm going for an olive oil lemon cake okay with a lemon basil curd
07:23a white chocolate basil ganache and then we're going to do a cheesecake layer and then we're also going
07:27to do a pine nut shortbread crumble that sounds delicious this final challenge is fairly daunting
07:34there are so many aspects that need to get done i'm going to create jingle bells as we've seen before
07:41a little bird to go in the bird's nest directional signs for the north pole and some chocolate trees
07:47it's going to be stretched for me to try to help out once my chocolate jobs are done it's pretty tricky
07:52timing wise but i do trust that elizabeth does know that so i trust the process
08:01i'm making all the little decoration pieces for the snowman so he's got to have a top hat and little
08:08cold buttons giant christmas trees we're making this huge christmas tree that's gonna spin the front
08:16of the house on the first challenge i made a big tree and because i didn't have time to finish it on the
08:21first one i felt like i could have done better and that's the time to do my revenge for myself
08:26it's really a big tray that we have to fill up so i want to make sure that we have at least five six
08:31seven trees on it so it's gonna look full all right trees are done they're just gonna set they'll be in
08:37they'll be in the freezer for you quick francois good you guys i'm carving the snowman now all right
08:43i'm excited for the snowman so i'm gonna do the design for the balcony now okay guys one of the
08:51balcony that you find in the house is just crosswood so what i decide to do is using the stencil that i
08:56have i'm making some line of chocolate and then i'm making other lines of chocolate and i cross them
09:01together so it gives you this aspect i'm starting my other dessert it's a crinkle feel dessert in our
09:07culture we all call it machaka but it means like wrinkled for my second tasting element i'm doing something
09:12that's classic to my culture and my dad's absolute favorite dessert i make it every christmas for
09:16him it looks just like a bird's nest all right i'm going to start some of those eggs jonathan yes
09:20for the little surprise treat and to make it more interactive i'm going to be making a pistachio
09:26creme anglaise sauce and reina is going to be making these chocolate eggs that we're going to fill with
09:29our sauce and when the judges go to eat their dessert they get to bite the egg and pour the sauce right
09:34all over the dessert it's the finale so i gotta give everything brow bones little narrow bridge
09:40for the nose i'm just adding texture to the eyebrows okay great because he is an abominable snowman
09:47obviously there is differences like some skin texture and then the first starts so i really
09:51want to make sure that that reads i've never ever sculpted a yeti before ever so this is definitely
09:58a challenge on a personal level but i want to make sure it looks like a believable yeti it's pretty
10:05muscly so i don't think he would be like podgy i'm trying to make sure that i have both the elements
10:10of human-like muscular structures as well as primate because that's kind of what it's meant
10:15to be is like this in between kind of missing link so to speak i also use two different colors
10:20of modeling chocolate because this is the fleshy that's going to be like the skin oh smart and then
10:24we have the white contrast for the fur yeah every detail counts are you ready to assemble now yeah man
10:30i'm just marking so we know exactly where everything's going to lay got it all laid out i got the
10:35instructions we're gonna need the side panel first bring that over drop it right on there and i'll
10:40hold it while you get the others piece this is the most ambitious chocolate build i've ever attempted
10:54as far as time constraints the pressure on it squared up you're good and i'll hold this while
11:00you get the other side panel ready you have to have a good foundation you have to reinforce certain parts
11:04of the house wait wait i got speed all right let me tell you dope you have to make sure everything's
11:14connected properly all right i got this side up it's getting set ready to put the back on we just got
11:19to make sure it's like right on point you know what i'm saying and then you have to hope it holds
11:23you know it's construction just in chocolate this is gonna be so fragile oh yeah i don't want to do that
11:32do what oh sketchy at best francois okay i'm over here are you on yeah okay all right the piping bag's
11:46right there stress levels up i know the risk of this francois knows the risk of it cammy doesn't know
11:53the risk of it but we're gonna not tell her that and um we're gonna roll the dice we gotta go big this
11:58thing's gonna have to support 30 pounds of chocolate with just chocolate francois team is
12:03making a piece standing on its own with chocolate which is very precarious anything can happen and
12:08anything can break i would not make something that big so these are the cross beams that are going to
12:14hold the weight of the roof since the roof is made of chocolate it is quite heavy it's taking a while to
12:19do this chocolate structure and we have so much work to do on it so we have to work fast but also we have
12:25to be steady this is as dirty as we're going to get we can go roof time whenever you're ready
12:29if this poor i'm going home for sure
12:41here we go should be good now i think we're good it's always interesting to see what people are doing
12:48it for cammy what would it mean for you to win this you know i've said it a million times my job
12:54gets or our job really gets viewed as a hobby that is by a lot of people very true and to see that you
13:00can come on here and make something amazing with your friends it makes a huge difference i walked in
13:06not having a ton of confidence in myself but i came from the bottom and worked my way up to the finale
13:14i am ready to win and show that i do have skill i need to prove my worth now what about you it's for
13:22my kids family everybody believed in me you know after certain things happen in life it really shifts
13:27your perspective the last few years of my life were kind of tough when i was 37 i had to have
13:32emergency surgery to drain fluid out of my heart i almost died like legitimately there was a real
13:38possibility of that and um it changes everything i just want to show my kids that you can't give
13:44up like if you really want something it may not be the first one two three ten years you know you
13:49just have to stick with it and that perseverance matters francis what about you oh directly for my
13:55daughter all this show all these things is just to show off to go home that she's proud of the daddy you
14:00know oh yeah no better feeling how long until it sets um two minutes hey cammy what's up babe it's
14:08crazy how you were on my empire not too long ago and here we are different empires on the on the final
14:13challenge i was at the very bottom and you saved me you did i knew i should have sent her home no i'm
14:19just joking and here we are i'm glad to see you here with me thanks babe i owe a lot to jonathan he saved me
14:27from the first challenge and i'm very thankful but i'm really excited to take them down i am so
14:33confident she's confident elizabeth's team is strong we just have to bring everything that we have in
14:40our arsenal to make our project over the top it's go time may the best team win we will oh
14:50i will say it's definitely a different vibe from the first challenge i joined you two on i think we're
14:55just having fun now we're just enjoying what we're creating yeah i think it's showing in our in our
15:00pieces yeah the judges said you know you've got to work as a team and that's what you're going to be
15:04you know judged on as well so it forced us to really re-evaluate things and the way we worked
15:11yeah and that i have to relinquish control more and not try to take on too much and ask for help
15:18you ask for help i know that i can rely on you guys yeah let's freaking go
15:32we all look really good so this must mean this is the finale yes rosie we've got our final two teams
15:38fighting for fifty thousand dollars today what are our thoughts on these two juggernauts of empires
15:44this is quite the face-off yeah you've got elizabeth who can make anything out of cake
15:50and you've got francois who can make anything out of chocolate yeah but what will they make
15:55it's going to be difficult to judge because two different medium yes francois is a bit of an
16:01underdog in that he's never competed so i think this probably means a lot to him but elizabeth doesn't
16:08seem like the type who takes losing lightly it's also going to come down to how your empire and your
16:14team dynamics work right this is the most pressure the most is at stake today how well can your team
16:22come together in the most difficult times all right guys i think it's time for you all to go take a
16:27closer look at these final two empires let's go bring back food okay hello hello hello what are you
16:37working on renu they're bells but what are they for they're for decoration for this sort of vignette
16:41we're creating um so this is sort of a frame over the vignette lots of elements in the background
16:45lots of little details so hopefully it's a magical winter wonderland jonathan what are you working on
16:50i'm working on a white post right now it's uh casted with sugar we're going to decorate the sides
16:55to look like a like a lantern light post and i'm working on a yeti the sculpting is beautiful
17:01yes as usual i have a quick challenge okay if i asked you to describe your team in one word what
17:06is the one word jonathan ah dang that's hard why do you put me on the spot one word yeah chaotic
17:14that's me though elizabeth courageous you just scared elizabeth chaotic that's her kryptonite
17:20chaotic courageous now you have to pick a c word i have no c words just a word oh creative
17:26very good very good see that's why i'm the leader because i'm there to have you told me which c word
17:32to use why do you need to win today what's at stake i've done one or two shows recently and i keep
17:39coming up the runner-up oh okay it wears on you a little bit you're like dang it you know i'm just
17:45trying to work my butt off to help them achieve you know their goals because rain has never won a
17:50competition before either and i want to break my curse i feel like i've been trying so hard so it
17:56would be nice to be able to have a win under my belt i'm gonna bloody well try you can guarantee it
18:02good luck thank you thank you hi hi bonjour bonjour
18:14we try to do like a big project big construction we didn't want any support we want to do everything
18:19by ourselves and everything's gonna be edible anything's gonna be in chocolate sugar or cake
18:24so you're not using any type of armature whatsoever exactly wow cami how does that feel for you as a
18:32cake decorator i know it's actually not something that i delve into very much in my own job so they
18:38are confident that they could build this house and i knew i could decorate it so what do you guys feel
18:43is your biggest challenge at this moment cami's got to get through a ton of piping and
18:49decorations we are relying heavily on her skill set we've got to make sure this works we got to
18:54get everything done really ultimately it's just coming together but i didn't have to build a house
18:58but you do have to wait till the house is built before you can start piping right that's why it's
19:04important that you stay on track things are going to be last minute i'm trying to stay calm cool and
19:09collected but there's so much more we need to finish up the time is ticking and we need to start
19:14decorating this chalet three hours left three hours kicking into overdrive i am building my kikos with
19:27i'm gonna continue on the toy set yeah and i'll just keep going with the texture everywhere
19:31yep i need you to get this done in eight to ten minutes okay yeah you got it though you can do it
19:45what's it am oh nice i've got my tasting done i've got all my sugar ornaments done i've casted my
19:52snowflakes i've gotten my lantern finished i'm doing well with my timing let me know jonathan when you want
19:57to cover the backboard i'm ready for you whenever but we are getting down to crunch time and this
20:01means i have to do everything to help the team out as much as possible me and elizabeth are covering
20:07the main backdrop and fondant we're covering the candy cane poles and then elizabeth has to do this
20:11really cool airbrush work to give it the illusion of a city if we just stay focused we can finish this
20:18however we are giving ourselves a lot to do it looks like just a blob at the moment but i'm making
20:24center's head i need a beard i need a mustache he's really small when i'm having to make this
20:31little tiny face oh i'm trying to make him as realistic as i kind of can for something that's
20:37so small that actually looks pretty darn freaking good and my idea is to have him riding the yeti
20:44nice yeah perfect hey jonathan rainey look i'm doing a different technique than i did with the
20:50walrus so it looks a bit more icy oh nice i'm definitely gonna do my eyes a little bit different
20:55to the walrus eyes these eyes need to look more human and a little bit more intense so i'm hand
21:01painting individual lines that are going in towards the pupil and i'm using like six different shades
21:07of blue bluey purple white for highlights i'm assuming i'm casting eyes for those yes of course yes
21:14please boom with the sugar lenses it should really really read as convincing how good those came out
21:22clear still clear i want my yeti staring down the competition i'm gonna get the chimney in and sealed
21:28and we'll have to test it to make sure it doesn't leak out we're working on getting the smoke machine
21:32ready for the chimney okay what the hell and of course it won't work what the heck hold on i'll
21:40troubleshoot this can i start to assemble the big tree yeah okay all right you're on my main man
21:53i'm starting to paint it and then i need a crack
21:59looking around one panel four here's where you have one more panel for the tree hold on yeah what happened
22:06the chocolate was really cold right out the freezer there was a temperature shock he's spraying it and
22:12it starts to fall apart so i'm just making another tree piece real quick because it's breaking a little
22:17bit i'm just like dang this is the part that's supposed to be on the board spinning really nice and
22:24huge worse timing for something like this to happen
22:39so the big tree is all crumbling what do you mean it's breaking out
22:43where oh my god francois tree broke that's horrible that's the absolute worst thing that
22:48can happen thank god it wasn't us all right let me cut there's a lot on the line it's the finale
22:57if this tree falls apart we're toast
23:06oh my god we don't have a tree anymore i feel kind of disappointed but we have to react fast we don't have
23:12time to play around because we still have to do so many things stay calm at this point in the competition
23:17how devastating is it if anything goes wrong oh to make it this far and to not win because of
23:24something breaking or falling apart very devastating we got the other trees so we'll just switch over to
23:30a medium there which is totally fine i know i've got some other trees i've made we've got backups but
23:35it's not the big tree it's just at this point it's just getting it done it's not one of the focal
23:40points we had made a point to make i made the chimney in white chocolate so i'm gonna spray orange
23:44and then score to make it looks like bricks all right i don't want to freak you guys out but yeah
23:49you have an hour left 60 minutes all right we in business camille okay yep what you doing now piping
23:57garland trying to finish up stuff before i get started on the actual house the guys have this thing
24:04built it's go time i am the most in my element when i'm piping all of these royal icing decorations
24:13this is where i shine all right how you guys doing yeah just lots of details
24:19these tiny details might not seem like a lot but when you step back and see it that is what's going
24:27to make the difference this is almost as bad as hanging actual christmas lights but there's very little
24:34time left so i hope that we can pull this off how's that look cami that looks awesome hey bakers you
24:42got 30 minutes oh my goodness not a big deal only 50 000 up for grabs yeah no big deal i'm making the
24:48back side of santa in case we want to put him near the christmas tree inside we're gonna overwhelm the
24:54judge with so many details we're gonna have snow on the roof snow on the balcony pathway made in chocolate
25:00rocks looking great cami i'm gonna try to get the candy canes going real quick oh yes i'm also making
25:06little christmas presents in chocolate that's gonna be a chocolate bombo made with rum ganache
25:13i'm a little worried about the time we have so much work to do on it i'm start to stress
25:19slowly so far gently gently in the last 30 minutes you always feel kind of panicked i know that's not
25:27normal for francois's team but you know we always go a little bit more intricate and a bit more
25:32detailed with our designs what can i help you with elizabeth what i want you to do is to take our frame
25:37here just put the fat sausages okay on him on his legs a big mound for his body are you serious i
25:46know we talked about a baby yeti but we didn't talk about making a baby yeti in the last 25 minutes
25:53rainu is working on something yeah she's got some wire it looks like tin foil they've only
25:57got 30 minutes and she's starting something right now why crazy to think that like that's a little
26:05ambitious your priority is to have presentable peace and then you know if you have time do
26:10something else yeah do you want me to sculpt a head for it no no no just get the body done
26:15this is a finale and this is a serious curveball i've been thrown there's still a lot of other things
26:22that need to be done too i don't know what's happening right now and i'm a little terrified
26:26rainu yes how much longer on that uh well uh we're not sure we have no time to get started on this baby
26:35eddie we got we got a lot of stuff to do over here i'm just panicking trying to get all these pieces
26:40onto the display i could definitely use the help time is ticking away can i put that tree there so
26:45then we can start put the snowman here are you sure because the tree can spin it's whatever francois wants
26:50this one but it's not as messy but the other one that's fine well okay no the snowman can spin
26:56that's fine plan b is the snowman all right like you know i still think a tree would look good because
27:03of the shape but snowman it is looky there hey jonathan you want to put the s on now yeah yeah yeah yeah
27:14both these teams are very ambitious but do you think that they're biting off a little more than they
27:20can chew pardon the pun let's hope not but i think that's always tempting you know what you're
27:27capable of you're trying to put it all on display all at once look look look what's going on oh god
27:33oh boy he's so heavy he's very heavy holy moly yeah it's terrifying all right just sit him down
27:41or he goes the other way careful don't hit your head make sure santa shows make sure his posing is
27:49good yeah that's perfect hey bakers you got 10 minutes brand new
28:00hey rainer yep i think it's time you finish that up and come on over okay i'll bring it over but i'm
28:06just going to keep on working on it while it's over here there is no time okay keep going spread
28:11buttercream please yep yeah elizabeth has too much on her plate she's airbrushing the yeti yes we have
28:19to get icing on everything there are so many details that we want on this piece trying to get all these
28:27pieces onto the display and it is chaos it looks so good the nest there's not much time left and the clock is
28:35ticking i know the baby yeti isn't going to be the star focal point so there's going to be less
28:39detail on him than our main character it is what it is oh he an ugly baby dude what the heck
28:48literally what is going on it's just working it was spinning yeah it was it's not now why is that not
28:56going now two minutes bakers oh my god like what is happening what is going on it literally was
29:04spinning five seconds ago it's a technical nightmare right now and we cannot lose because
29:11this stuff does not work like literally it has one job turn just get that up get a bag of my buttercream
29:17please why is this not if our effects aren't working like we're toast one minute
29:25how does that look oh beautiful we are running out of time very quickly and i don't have time to get my
29:30snowflakes on the board i am just freaking out oh my god
29:39oh where's the bird it's right over here 30 seconds everyone 30 seconds grab a new arm

29:54the same i got it francois get that arm out 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 hands up bakers
30:08yeah it was so chaotic at the end and i didn't put the trees on our cake looking at the display it's
30:27kind of unfinished i wanted to get five snowflakes on the board but in the chaos of trying to finish
30:33i just managed to get only three just this sucks this is the finale and just one misstep could take
30:40you out of the running and i don't want to lose i want to win that's why i'm here
30:51we gave you bakers complete creative freedom to make an unbelievable showpiece celebrating the holiday
30:57season our expectations are sky high for your creativity and technique for this challenge there
31:03is no room for error today every little details will be examined and of course your flavors have to be
31:12perfect team elizabeth you're up first so for us the holidays are all about you know a magical time
31:21and it's about helping those in need and that's exactly what we wanted our piece to represent and it
31:26also represents us on this competition as well we've kind of learned that sometimes you can have
31:31a bad day and you need to ask for help and that's what we've learned to do as a team is to rely on one
31:37another and those around us so santa claus has had a rather bad time his sleigh is broken and he's had to
31:44ask for a helping hand so his neighbors which are a family of yetis have offered to give him a ride and
31:50help him deliver all his presents the yeti is fantastic your sculpting is so precise and so
31:56realistic you've really brought this mythical creature to life i love the idea of santa on his
32:02back santa looks jolly and cheerful as usual is all the skin on the outside of the yeti is that uh
32:10modeling chocolates yes it holds on to the texture very well and i love that i can see all of his
32:15muscles he's very oh yeah he's yes that's exactly what i look like by the way with this off body
32:21hair included so who did the airbrushing of the back um you did you're very talented it's amazing
32:30the way that you bring this to life i love it i do wish there were more of your beautiful snowflakes
32:36jonathan because if there were more of them hanging then i think the glowing lights would come sort of
32:41between the gaps and also through the snowflakes which would look very pretty when i look at santa
32:48face or even the the face of baby yeti it's very different you know the real shame is because the
32:53mama yeti is so detailed it's very obvious that the baby yeti is not it's a little bit harder to do that
33:01kind of detail on something that small but i agree that definitely we could have put a bit more shading
33:07on the baby yeti i noticed you had beautiful trees which i believe you made rinu were they
33:13supposed to be a part of this they were yes i was sad to not see those trees where they are not
33:20into the the presentation i think that would have added a lot of texture and they would just
33:26add another element of holiday to this piece well can we try it of course absolutely for our flavor
33:34it's an olive oil and lemon cake with a basil and lemon curd white chocolate basil ganache cheesecake
33:40center and then it also has a pine nut shortbread crumble so the nest is what we call in our culture
33:44machuca it's basically a crinkled filo dough that's baked three times with a custard soak has cardamom
33:50rose water and pistachios and then in the egg you will be cracking that open bite take a bite and then
33:55you'll be pouring a pistachio crema and glass onto your dessert i'm gonna watch this demo wow look at that
34:04the cake is delicious i like the lemon that you put in it is very refreshing it's the kind of cake
34:10that you want after dinner when you have a holiday dinner and you see it a little bit too much the
34:14cake is very tasty what's the crunch in the cake the crunch is a pine nut shortbread crumble that's it
34:20it's really delicious and the butteriness of the pine nuts just make the shortbread even more buttery
34:26and all together it's a wonderful bite the second dessert is also very delicious and i've never really
34:32had anything like it i've had a lot of phyllo desserts but not this one in particular i love
34:36that it's crunchy and caramelized on the top and then it gets softer with the custard as your fork
34:41goes down the pistachios are overpowering the rose water but i really like the cardamom flavor
34:48in there as well you guys always bring the artistry absolutely insane holiday show piece well done thank
34:54you the judges really nail us on our timing but we did such a massive massive piece and i hope we get
35:02the credit for that my heart is pounding in my chest our piece is amazing and i know the other team
35:10couldn't have recreated what we did so it's gonna be tough team francois okay let's go
35:16well first time when i enter into the lodge here he remind me this moment with my parents we went in
35:23vacation in the alp for the christmas period just this image of the chalet with all the trees around
35:29it's really for me what was the meaning of christmas i think you definitely succeed to make an alpine
35:36chalet i love all the details there was a christmas tree a fire the little reef with the ribbon those are
35:44beautiful and they do have those type of balcony it's very switzerland also yes i love every single
35:52detail the wood panels the snow on the roof the path even just the texture of the chalet itself cami
36:00your piping the garlands the wreaths every little detail and that's what's so fun about the theme that
36:07you chose today it really brings together all your talents in one place this is a big risk doing
36:14something like that with no structure inside it's looking for trouble and we both know if anything
36:22go wrong it's over you're out and so nothing happened one little thing christmas tree are a lot wider
36:30on the bottom and as you go to the top they become thinner here they are pretty much almost the same
36:35size from the bottom all the way to the top so that's one thing that you know maybe you can do it
36:40to be different i think it's very clever that you just revealed the shingles in certain areas but i
36:45do wish it wasn't just two uniform patches on either side of the roof i think it would make sense if the
36:51snow started to melt maybe around the chimney or where there would normally be warmth in a sort of
36:56patchier pattern than two perfect rectangles revealing the shingles on either side of the roof damn
37:03they're kind of picking on my two things that were part of my job am i gonna cost my team the finale
37:09like what in the is this right well let's dig in so today for tasting i made a pina colada inside a cake
37:18coconut chiffon cake with a coconut milk and coconut rum and then rum ganache that is whipped with a
37:25pineapple confit and some little pieces of coconut cookie and also we're gonna have a rum raisin chocolate
37:32bonbon so you have also some texture inside the bomb from the alps to the caribbean combination of
37:38flavor is good it's not too sweet you have all those flavor coming to you at equal proportion it's not
37:44one more than the other is the flavor of a pina colada the coconut cookie as the crunch is perfect
37:50and the bonbon is i love rum raisin so i'm a big fan both tastings are very very good what i'm curious about
37:58is how these flavor profiles tie back to the holiday you're describing it doesn't necessarily
38:05connect to the piece you've made it's just the warm the warm of the rums especially the rum raisin
38:12usually you find them in the the bread pudding and things like that and i really wanted to make it
38:18and both of the boys are in florida you know they're florida boys and they don't get a chance to go to a
38:23charlotte probably every christmas so it shows a little bit of them too cami thank you francois
