00:00Cracking with meringue-based desserts.
00:02Y'all think we're gonna win this one, Team Nice?
00:04Let's go, Team Nice!
00:06Team Nice!
00:07Over on the naughty side.
00:08Pick that plate, bring me another one.
00:09Tariq's helping out Daniel.
00:10Ashley's helping out Nico.
00:12Charles is by himself.
00:13Ashley seems to be dominating this team at the moment.
00:15I think it's time to dethrone her.
00:17Now, where is my meringue?
00:19I don't see it.
00:21But the naughty team lost another baker.
00:23Daniel, I'm sorry, your dessert deflated.
00:25You're gonna be leaving us.
00:30Hanging up some ornaments.
00:35Setting up the wreath.
00:37Oh, hey, bakers!
00:39Hey!
00:40I just love a decked-out wreath.
00:43So, I'm adding a few touches.
00:44Not bad, right?
00:45Phenomenal.
00:47A wreath really raises the holiday spirit.
00:52Sure does.
00:53So, for your challenge, you must each create an over-the-top holiday wreath dessert.
00:59Oh, my God.
01:00Oh, God.
01:01Interesting.
01:02Oh, and there's another little surprise.
01:05Of course.
01:06Yeah, why not?
01:07You see, the holiday rush is now picking up traction.
01:10Time is getting tighter.
01:12Oh, God.
01:13Oh, my God.
01:14So, this is your only challenge today.
01:16Oh, wow.
01:17This is your main heat.
01:20One baker will be going home after this bake.
01:23I just got chills.
01:24What?
01:25There is no warm-up.
01:26We go straight into that elimination round.
01:29Oh, no.
01:30Okay.
01:31Okay.
01:32Okay.
01:33You know, when you're not ready, do it anyways.
01:34Just do it.
01:35You can make your wreath out of anything you like.
01:37Represent your team by leaning naughty or nice with your decorations or with your flavor
01:42choices.
01:43Your wreath must be stunningly decorated for the holidays and perfectly executed.
01:49That makes me a little nervous.
01:50I'm just hoping I live up to the high expectations of me from the judges.
01:54Ah, there is one more little surprise before we start.
01:58Come on.
01:59Another one.
02:00The team who won the last challenge.
02:02The nice team.
02:04Oh, God.
02:05You may choose an advantage.
02:07Oh.
02:08Okay.
02:09Okay.
02:10Okay.
02:11So, the nice advantage is an exclusive basket filled with decorating items like gold leaf,
02:16piping tips, and special cookie cutters to help make your wreaths pop.
02:20Yes.
02:21Okay.
02:22That's what we need.
02:23Or, you can choose the naughty advantage.
02:25Which is?
02:26Which is?
02:27Take a vital piece of equipment from the other side.
02:30Oh.
02:31They're stand mixers.
02:32Oh, my God.
02:33That's evil.
02:34I feel like the decorations would be more beneficial for us.
02:38Yes.
02:39Strategically, it makes sense to go with that naughty option.
02:41I think we're all in agreement.
02:42We're going to go with the decoration basket.
02:44The decoration.
02:45We're going for the nice advantage.
02:46And we're a nice team, so we're not going to lose.
02:48We're nice.
02:49That was a questionable choice.
02:50I can't believe it.
02:52All right.
02:53Two and a half hours.
02:55And your baking time starts now.
02:57Woo!
03:00Meet at mine.
03:02We still have all six people on Team Nice.
03:04So, I think it's paying off to be nice.
03:06Team Naughty.
03:07Four people.
03:09One of us needs to win this.
03:10We cannot lose.
03:11Okay.
03:12It's so important to keep the numbers on our side in this game.
03:15Take your time.
03:16Do it consciously.
03:17The more representatives you have on your team,
03:19the more chances you have of having that winning dessert.
03:22Team Nice on three.
03:23One, two, three.
03:24Team Nice.
03:29That's okay, buddy.
03:30We got this, right?
03:31I feel good.
03:32I feel like I can do this one.
03:33This is like a cake I make.
03:34Don't stress.
03:35Don't stress.
03:36This is a cake I make a hundred times.
03:37I've been bottom two on my team twice.
03:39I feel like right now I'm kind of hanging on by a thread.
03:41I need to make sure that everything is on another level.
03:49Definitely good.
03:50I'm making chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate pretzel and brown butter crust and a peanut butter mousse filling.
03:56It's pretty unusual for a cupcake to have a crust, but it's such a good idea, especially because this is going to be like a very soft dessert.
04:02I want to have a crunch factor in there.
04:04For decor, my inspiration is my siblings.
04:07Every holiday season, right, we get our stocking full of just treats and candy.
04:11We'll, like, play games and just trade the candy, similar to how we do in Halloween.
04:14I'm arranging the cupcakes in a wreath shape and then decorating the whole thing with green buttercream frosting and my toppings.
04:22Tempered chocolate, some honeycomb, and chocolate-covered candy peanuts with, like, a guillotine crunch.
04:27I'm making some of my own candies.
04:29I also want the decorations to not just look good, but add something to the dessert.
04:33Just a little touch.
04:35Candy, especially during the holiday season, can be seen as somewhat naughty.
04:40Candy's bad for you.
04:43Look at that.
04:44I do not have that much experience with a wreath growing up, because seeing I grew up in a Jewish household.
04:50So I'm going to make a wreath shaped like a Star of David to really celebrate the Jewish people in the holiday season.
05:00And, obviously, I'm on the naughty team, so what's the naughtiest thing that a Jew can do?
05:05Eat some bacon.
05:06So I am making pecan chocolate chips and bacon blondies with a maple blond chocolate with ganache
05:15and a maple cream cheese frosting topped with candied bacon.
05:19And I will have a little pig eating some bacon.
05:23That's why I'm on the naughty team. I break the rules.
05:30I don't know how many bananas I need, but I'd rather just take them all.
05:33The challenge is a wreath dessert.
05:36So I am making a banana blonde chocolate bundt cake with a lime caramel center.
05:41Blonde chocolate.
05:42It can be really sweet, and so the lime can just balance out that sweetness.
05:46I don't need all the nice cutters and piping tips for decorating,
05:50because I'm going to make a nice stable buttercream to pipe all my kind of leaf design.
05:55I'm decorating it to be a modern wreath, very classy, metallic ornaments.
06:01But I'm going to have my childhood cat made out of gum paste pulling the lights off of the wreath
06:06to show the naughty element of my wreath.
06:08As the creative mind of me as a seven-year-old, I dubbed the name Dusty to this gray cat.
06:14She liked to play with the ornaments and stuff, so it's a little bit of homage to her naughty side, I guess.
06:19Into the oven.
06:20Alex, how we doing?
06:22Good.
06:23Good.
06:24How are you?
06:25I'm doing great, defending main heat champion.
06:26That thing was amazing.
06:28It felt really good, and it's amazing to have saved my entire team from elimination.
06:31Hey, Tarek, you feeling nervous having Alex right here in your grill?
06:35Yeah, honestly.
06:37Shaking in his little boots over there.
06:40Double front bicep here, Alexis.
06:42Don't have license for this bench show, you know?
06:44So you've got to make a wreath dessert.
06:45Yes.
06:46So I'm making a black forest milk wheel.
06:49So I'm going to use this fluted pie pan to make a wreath.
06:53I have some chocolate cremeux, a cherry and kirsch gel, some stabilized whipped cream,
06:59chocolate almond crunch in the middle.
07:01Wow.
07:02And then to decorate it, I'm going to add some fun little puff pastry ornaments and trees,
07:08some fresh cherries.
07:10Awesome.
07:11Thank you so much.
07:12Can I have full iced coffees?
07:14Yeah, of course.
07:16Stirring my shoe base.
07:21Perfect texture.
07:22I am making a shoe pastry wreath with green sesame cracklin cream puffs with vanilla cream
07:29and sugar plum black cherry jam.
07:32I want to make cream puffs because growing up my mom had a bunch of these different decorative
07:38wreaths that were colorful balls kind of glued together, and I wanted to recreate it.
07:43Gotta pat down the hats.
07:44I think I'm going to have the cream puffs all in a circle, like a wreath.
07:49Pipe my cream and my jam on top to give an ornamental vibe, maybe a bow, nothing too crazy.
07:55A wreath is inherently nice.
07:58Two hours left, bakers.
08:01Our judges are looking for show-stopping desserts.
08:05It is stressful only having the one bake because I haven't done so well in the last few, and I feel like this is my only chance to redeem myself.
08:15All of my desserts have been really messy.
08:18One of my favorite Christmas cookies that we leave for Santa every year, Snickerdoodle.
08:22So I am making a Snickerdoodle cookie cake filled with apple whiskey compote and a hazelnut crunch nougat.
08:30I'm going to make it look like a wreath because it will be circular with a hole in it.
08:35To decorate, I'm going to just adorn the whole thing in my Swiss meringue buttercream in really pastel and silvery colors to look like my Grandma Maxine's wreath.
08:46I have Grandma Maxine's wreath, and I have her holiday village that we keep up year-round because I'm too lazy to take a ton out of our buffet.
08:55But hanging our wreath with my kids, that signifies this is the beginning of the holidays.
09:02I'm really going to focus on deco today, my buttercream, and not being messy.
09:07Hey, JC, do you think I'd have to make it green, or could I make it look like a wreath but be white?
09:12Green will be very understandable, like, right away.
09:17Right.
09:18But I think where you live snows a lot.
09:20Yes.
09:21It's true, that's true.
09:23Our team has not lost anybody yet, which is amazing.
09:27I think we all work really well together.
09:29I'm, like, fresh out of culinary school.
09:31These people have probably been in the industry for as long as I've been alive.
09:34It's, like, intimidating, but also, like, inspiring.
09:38Like, I'm here, I'm doing it.
09:40I'm kind of focusing on keeping my flavors simple, but good.
09:43Today, I am making a pumpkin bundt cake.
09:45I have never made a wreath dessert before.
09:47I know I can make a good pumpkin bundt cake, but making it wreath-like is a bit harder.
09:52I am making pumpkin because my boyfriend, Jake, his favorite thing ever is a pumpkin roll.
09:57His birthday is in October, so I always make him a pumpkin roll for his birthday and then for Christmas, too.
10:02Hello!
10:03Hello!
10:04I love coming over to your station and just seeing a big smile on your face.
10:09What are you making?
10:10So, I am making a pumpkin bundt cake, and I'm kind of going to do, like, a cream cheese frosting on top.
10:15I'm going to decorate it with some little gingerbread cookies and dried-out citrus wheels.
10:21Your bundt cake sounds delicious.
10:22Yeah.
10:23Hey, Charles, she's also making a bundt cake.
10:26Let the best baker win.
10:28All that I know is Charles hasn't won a preheat yet.
10:31Oh!
10:32No comments.
10:34That's what I thought, Charles.
10:36Keep doing it, Violet.
10:37Yes, thank you.
10:38All right.
10:42Anybody willing to get coffee today?
10:45I can go grab it for us.
10:48Ice or hot?
10:50Ice, please.
10:51I think I have taken on the role of Mom Bigger.
10:55Ice Americana, please.
10:57Like, I'll get y'all coffee all day.
10:59Ice Americanos, pumpkin spice latte.
11:02Okay.
11:03Rub your back.
11:04Like, you need a bath drawn.
11:06Like, because I'm still in that role that I want to nurture those around me.
11:14Oh, that's Chase's.
11:17Hey, Chase.
11:19Your sheet tray is warped.
11:22What sheet tray?
11:23Yours is the top oven, right?
11:24That's not my sheet tray.
11:25Oh, who's that? That's yours?
11:26It's warped.
11:27What in the?
11:29Unfortunately, this happens to a sheet pan all the time.
11:35This is not good.
11:36This is gonna be uneven and not baked perfectly.
11:38This sucks.
11:39Cake pan?
11:43Do not have to remake cake batter.
11:47This is ridiculous.
11:4890 minutes left, Bakers.
11:4990 minutes left, Bakers.
11:51Holiday wreath desserts.
11:53Oh, and remember, the best dessert in this challenge.
11:55That wins immunity for your whole team.
11:58Thank you, Jesse.
11:59My sheet pan warped in the oven.
12:01I already feel like I'm behind taking care of my teammates.
12:04And now I'm feeling really, really, really pissed off.
12:10Okay.
12:11I really just wanna use what I have.
12:13I'm fearful there's not enough, but we're gonna go for it.
12:19I have an iced Americano.
12:22It's delicious.
12:24The vibe in the Naughty Kitchen today is work hard.
12:27We gotta get it going because we've now lost two people and we can't afford to lose anymore.
12:31But I'm really happy with the way that this texture of this mousse came out.
12:35Oh, hey.
12:36Oh, hi.
12:37What are you doing?
12:38So I am, I, my future sister-in-law actually lives in the Cayman Islands.
12:41So I'm kind of paying an homage to her.
12:43Ooh.
12:44Because we just dream of these island Christmases.
12:47I'm gonna make like a tropical entrem茅 with candied macadamia nuts, a coconut cake, coconut cream cheese mousse.
12:53It's gonna have a really beautiful, shiny sunset orange glaze.
12:57And on the top, I'm actually gonna do like a caramelized pineapple with dark rum.
13:01So I'm going a little bit naughty with the flavors leaning towards that island theme, but still have that ode to Christmas with some colored chocolate wreaths.
13:08Good.
13:09So.
13:10I love it.
13:11Yeah.
13:12Are you finally starting to kind of stick your chest out a little bit?
13:13I, I, yes and no.
13:14I think I'll always have those issues with myself about belonging.
13:18Really?
13:19I had, I had five brothers that I had to compete with and my mom and I don't have a great relationship.
13:22Mmm.
13:23I mean, it's just been my whole life.
13:24Whatever you went through, you got through.
13:26Yeah.
13:27And you're here.
13:28Crushing it.
13:29Trying to at least.
13:30No, no.
13:31You just said it.
13:32She said it.
13:33You heard that.
13:34Mmm, yes.
13:35Awesome.
13:36We'll see ya.
13:37I've been through my struggles in both a professional and a personal setting.
13:40No matter how hard I have to fight and how hard I have to work, I'll do it and I will make sure that I persevere in order to win.
13:47One hour left, bakers.
13:53This puff is puffing.
13:54Camry, how we doing?
13:55Very good.
13:56Yes, you should be feeling pretty good too, especially after that last main heat.
13:58Yeah, I'm very excited going into this next one.
13:59I'm doing a tiramisu-inspired frizzy and flop.
14:00Wow.
14:01Tasting along, we're tasting great.
14:02Mm-hmm.
14:03You know flavor.
14:04Yeah.
14:05You can deliver on that.
14:06So is that coffee for you or is that coffee for the dessert?
14:07That coffee's for me.
14:08I need a little go-go juice.
14:09I'm gonna need your coffee.
14:10Yes.
14:11Yes, you deserve it too.
14:12Okay, I'm really excited to see what you do here.
14:14Awesome.
14:15I love coffee.
14:16I mean, I'm a barista, so I love coffee.
14:18I like to include rum in mine.
14:19Those warm flavors, I think they're very reminiscent of the holidays, in my opinion.
14:22And I really want those nancy fingers.
14:24I love coffee.
14:25I love coffee.
14:26I mean, I'm a barista, so I love coffee.
14:29I like to include rum in mine.
14:31Those warm flavors, I think they're very reminiscent of the holidays, in my opinion.
14:35And I really want those nancy fingers.
14:38The fingers!
14:40That's my goal.
14:43Parisian flan has a puff pastry around the edges, and it's a baked custard on the inside.
14:49So that's gonna help with my wreath shape.
14:52I'm gonna make my marsupone cream a little green, so really tie in that, like, wreath-y element.
14:58Do some tuile ornaments.
15:00Meringue chard.
15:01Some luster dust, of course.
15:02Good.
15:03This is good.
15:04A little crisp, but more.
15:05In the oven.
15:06Going in for snooze.
15:07Beautiful as I should.
15:10Giancarlos, we gotta make a wreath dessert.
15:13Yes.
15:14What did you decide to do?
15:15I decided to make a brownie, because in Brazil, you always make a wreath with brownies for sale.
15:22It's how we make money for your Christmas or the holidays.
15:26But no, you need to have technique for the brownie.
15:29Yeah.
15:30So I'm making a dark chocolate brownie with pecans, pretzels, raspberry mousse, and mascarpone
15:36weave.
15:37Whoa.
15:38Yes.
15:39And guess what?
15:40Today I'm making...
15:41Brigadeiros!
15:42Yeah!
15:43Oh my gosh.
15:44Silky velvet melt in your mouth.
15:49You know what I'm talking about, right?
15:50I know, exactly.
15:51It's kind of like the inside of a truffle.
15:53Yeah.
15:54The brigadeiro will be for the decoration of my dessert.
15:57I'm gonna decorate with jingle bells and special chocolate bowl.
16:02How are you feeling so far, a few bakes into this thing?
16:06Honestly, I feel I'm born to be here.
16:09My mom was my biggest support ever.
16:12I'm here to make her proud.
16:13She's here in this kitchen with me.
16:16She's beautiful.
16:17Me and my mom live together in rough places, starting when we are in a circus.
16:24We live in a really tiny RV.
16:27And I want to give my mom a better place to enjoy the rest of her life.
16:35Yeah, keep her close.
16:36Keep her close.
16:39Oh, yes.
16:40Oh, yes.
16:41Milfui is something that I make every day at work in New Orleans.
16:45It's a really sophisticated dessert we make at the restaurant where we're dealing with high-end clients.
16:50This is an almond chocolate crunch.
16:53Black Forest is not Black Forest cake without chocolate and cherry.
16:56So, I want to make a cherry compote.
16:58There we go.
16:59I want it to taste very much like cherry.
17:02That's my number one thing.
17:04It's cherry for sure.
17:06Some tall shoes.
17:08Chase always delivered.
17:10Good job, good job.
17:12I think I'm known for being a calm in the kitchen, but I love that I'm a perfectionist.
17:17I may not be like the most decorated of skill sets, but I have perfected what I do best.
17:24These are plums.
17:26I'm inspired by the sugar plum fairy.
17:29When you cook them down, the skin itself contributes a really nice tartness, but everything else is quite sweet.
17:36When I pipe it into the cream puffs, I think it's going to be a great contrast to the sweetness of the cream.
17:42Woo!
17:43It's pretty tart.
17:45I add sugar to my jam thinking directly about Nancy, so it's a hard palate to pinpoint.
17:52That's wonderful.
17:53It's not like, ugh.
17:54No, you're not like, oh, God, why am I eating this?
17:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:5845 minutes to go.
17:59Feel behind.
18:00My cakes are very thin.
18:03I've lost a lot of batter, but I am confident in my flavors.
18:08You know, I need to tighten things up, and unfortunately, I think nerves are getting to me while I'm here.
18:14I can't shake it.
18:16I'm trying to shake it.
18:1930 minutes left.
18:20How's everybody doing on time?
18:22Good.
18:23I'm kind of close, Chase, but thanks for checking.
18:26So, I'm not sure.
18:29This is the only bake of the day, so make it count.
18:32I got it.
18:33I'm going to use this as the base of my entremet cake.
18:41Oh, God.
18:43Ooh, Ashley.
18:45The cake is too warm.
18:47Son of a...
18:52Holiday wreath desserts.
18:55Bada bing.
18:56Which team is going to win immunity, and which team is going to lose a baker?
19:01The naughty squad.
19:02Because it's too warm, the cake is not cutting right.
19:05I just need it for two eight-inch rounds, but I really need it to separate from the paper.
19:12So, I'm going to set it upside down and put it in the freezer.
19:18Really, seriously, I need everybody to stop going in the blast chiller, because if that doesn't set, my cake won't come out.
19:24And, like, we have, you know...
19:25This one's back here.
19:26That's one last chance, okay?
19:27This one's back here.
19:28So, yeah, that one...
19:29I'm not touching it.
19:30Okay, thank you, thank you.
19:31I'm not touching it.
19:32Ashley is really tweaking right now in this moment.
19:35But if someone's winning it for a team this round, it's going to be Ashley.
19:39A win for any naughty team member gets immunity from me, so we're all good.
19:44You okay with how they look?
19:45Yeah, I'm going to cut them a little bit.
19:46Okay.
19:47They got a little blown, but, you know, I'm going to cover them with frosting anyway, so I'll just, like, cut them when I go to stuff them.
19:52Okay.
19:53But they look very light, and, yeah, it looks like it's going to make a good wreath.
19:58I'm making some honeycomb.
19:59I combine some sugar, golden syrup, and water in a pot.
20:02If you're ready, this is going to be really cool.
20:03I add a tablespoon of baking soda, and it bubbles up and creates, like, a very airy texture that I dump onto a sheet tray.
20:11I'm going to let it set up, and then I'm going to break it into, like, candy, because it is a candy at the end of the day.
20:17That's sick.
20:20I love this banana cake.
20:21But I feel like the judges would be, like, all she did was bake a cake and then put buttercream on it.
20:25So I want to add a little interest.
20:28More depth of flavor and a little surprise inside.
20:30I'm using gum paste.
20:34I want it to be kind of a cute, cartoony-looking cat, so it looks innocent even though it's really not so innocent.
20:41I think this could be the one I finally get that win.
20:46Okay, cat.
20:48Get those wreaths together. Here we go.
20:52Okay. Oats and crafts.
20:56Okay. I'm not mad about that at all.
20:57I want to add a maple blonde chocolate ganache as a topping for my blondie because maple pairs so, so well with bacon and pecans.
21:06So with my cold cream and some maple syrup, this is what's going to give it that maple flavor.
21:10I'll have most of my elements ready and then I'll be able to start with some deco elements.
21:15This is so much cooler than I thought it was going to look.
21:19It should be perfect now.
21:22It's still a little bit sticky, but I just need to get two circles out of this.
21:27This is going to work, but I still have to decorate the entremet.
21:31It's a lot to do. Okay.
21:32Okay. Okay. What's happening?
21:34Oh, trust me. Come on over here.
21:35Okay.
21:36I'll fill you in.
21:37Hi, Nico.
21:38Hi, Claudia.
21:42Holiday wreath desserts.
21:43Okay. Yeah.
21:44How's it going so far?
21:45Well, the nice team seems like they're all doing pretty good over there.
21:48They've won the last two main heat challenges.
21:51I mean, they're on their high horse, you know, like Chase is on fire.
21:54Ooh, girl.
21:55Chase has already given us consistency and I think he's going to do just fine.
21:58I want my judges to have the best holiday ever.
22:02Gorgeous. Are you kidding me? It was gorgeous.
22:06Well, I wasted half my batter.
22:09So these layers are super thin.
22:11Erin, obviously she knows her stuff and she's kind of just been skating by.
22:16You know what? I've been keeping up my sleeve.
22:19A mom ninja move.
22:21I'm using colors that are always associated with Christmas.
22:25Hopefully this will really wow the judges this round.
22:27I don't think that she's going to be able to skate by for long
22:30because she's up against some really talented bakers.
22:33You know, like Nico.
22:34All right, let's make a pig.
22:37He's fun.
22:38And I believe that kind of shows through the things that he's presented to us.
22:41So I'm going to make a pig with a kippa or a yarmulke.
22:45And he's going to be in the center eating some bacon.
22:48Oh God, food now please don't cancel me.
22:51Oh, it smells so good in here.
22:52I can't wait to taste everything they're making.
22:53Oh, you got me hungry now talking about all those bakers.
22:55I can't wait.
22:56I can't believe you made a Parisian plan in two and a half hours.
23:02So proud of you.
23:03Thank you, baby.
23:04Thank you for being nice.
23:06You can do a lot with brigadeiro.
23:09It's like a truffle and we roll it in little balls.
23:12I'm putting on top of the brownie for my decoration.
23:15Today we're going to go bold, try bringing a surprise for the judges.
23:19I never did this type of ball before with chocolate.
23:24Honestly, this competition, it's pushing me to do things out of my comfort zone.
23:30Go bold or go home.
23:32Eleven minutes left.
23:34Violet, you okay?
23:36I'm worried that these are breaking.
23:38These are breaking.
23:39Yeah, at least we have something green.
23:41Yeah, I was trying to do like a white wreath.
23:43Yes.
23:44Oh, okay.
23:45Sorry.
23:46In school, I made something very similar.
23:48I want it to look organic and, I don't know, like a wreath.
23:55Seven minutes.
23:57Whoo, baby.
23:59This is for my Christmas lights.
24:02I'm breathing so heavy.
24:06I've got my mousse.
24:07I've got my fresh cherries.
24:09Nice little almond chocolate crunch.
24:11A little nervous.
24:12You know, we weren't expecting to have somebody go home.
24:15We're going to be all right, though.
24:17Five minutes left.
24:19Oh!
24:20I'm doing like 18 things at one time right now.
24:22I'm going to make my wreaths real quick.
24:24Ashley is up against it.
24:26I'm going to freeze these for a second.
24:28This is the time crunch that I am worried about.
24:32I still need to make my white chocolate mirror glaze.
24:34It has to cool in time.
24:36I don't want it to be too hot to where it melts my mousse, and I don't want it to be too cold to where it's too thick for the judges.
24:41That's going to look sick.
24:43Three minutes left.
24:45I have made shoe wreaths before, and they've never looked this good.
24:49Did you see Giancarlo's bow?
24:51Beautiful dude.
24:52You guys, this is my favorite thing yet.
24:55Okay.
24:56I'm done.
24:57Hey, Naughty team, does anyone need help?
24:58Uh, Nico, can you go get me a whisk?
25:01I'm two minutes away from the end of the heat.
25:04This is the most pressure I think I've ever felt in my life.
25:07Can you cut a couple of these darker ones into a quarter real quick?
25:10Ashley, we've got to finish.
25:11You're going to be okay?
25:12Yep.
25:13Okay.
25:14Pull it, uh, can you pull off three of them?
25:16One minute.
25:17I think we found out I'm a maximalist.
25:20It's like bizarro team nice.
25:22It's Ashley with all three bakers around her helping.
25:25Oh my God.
25:26Thank you guys.
25:27You guys are freaking amazing.
25:29How about that teamwork?
25:30That's what we've been looking for.
25:32Ten seconds.
25:34Does that look okay?
25:36Yeah.
25:37Oh, I'm shaking.
25:39All right.
25:40All right, time's up.
25:41Woo!
25:42Woo!
25:43Woo!
25:44Oh.
25:45Oh my God.
25:46Wait, glue bug, glue bug, glue bug.
25:48Oh, we got it.
25:49Ah!
25:50Whose wreath will save their team?
25:53That's true.
25:55Judges, holiday wreath dessert from the nice team.
25:59But this is the only bake today, so everything is riding on this one.
26:03Interesting.
26:04The best dessert in this challenge will win immunity for their entire team.
26:09All right, Kamri, come on in.
26:10Come on, Kamri.
26:11I love this girl.
26:12Hi, everyone.
26:13Hi, Kamri.
26:14Welcome back.
26:15You remember our beloved judges, Nancy Fuller.
26:17Hello, Kamri.
26:18Duff Goldman.
26:19Hi, Kamri.
26:20Hello.
26:21And Cartier Brown.
26:22Hey, Kamri.
26:23Hey.
26:24All right, so Kamri, what kind of wreath dessert did you make?
26:27Tiramisu-inspired, Parisian flan.
26:28And then on the top is going to be a marscapone cream, tuile sponge cookie ornaments.
26:37Um, yeah.
26:38You were on team nice, and you all were given an advantage with a box of goodies and piping
26:45tips and all of that.
26:47I wish you would have taken advantage of that.
26:49I agree with Cartier.
26:50And I would like to see a little nicer topping.
26:54Okay.
26:55Yeah.
26:56That looks great.
26:57Look at this.
26:58Really holding together well.
26:59Ladies first.
27:00Thank you, Chef.
27:01You're welcome.
27:02That flan is ridiculous.
27:07So silky and velvety and smooth.
27:11Duff.
27:12Flan.
27:13Flan.
27:14Flannery.
27:15Flan.
27:16That's flan.
27:17Flan, and that's how we say flan and copay.
27:20What do you mean flan?
27:21Flan?
27:24It's pretty good.
27:26But I think you needed to par bake it a little longer.
27:29Because it's chewy.
27:30Yeah.
27:34Oye.
27:35Jean Carlos, welcome back.
27:36I made for you guys today dark chocolate brownie.
27:39For the decoration, I use a very traditional treat from Brazil.
27:44Brigadero.
27:45And a tempered chocolate bow.
27:48Well, I think that bow is quite bodacious.
27:53Oh.
27:54Very festive.
27:55I love all of the colors.
27:57It just pops.
27:58Really nice.
27:59Let's give it a taste.
28:01This is brownie with pecans, pretzels, raspberry mousse,
28:06and mascarpone whip.
28:11I think this is my first time ever trying Brigadero.
28:13I want a box of it for Christmas.
28:15Oh, all right.
28:16It is so soft and luscious.
28:19Delicious.
28:21That's what he wanted.
28:22He wanted everyone to see that.
28:23Your brownie not so much.
28:25It's not a bad brownie.
28:27It's just a little too dry.
28:28All right, Jean Carlos, thank you.
28:30Thank you, Jean Carlos.
28:32I was going to do that.
28:35Erin.
28:38This is a snickerdoodle flavor inspired stacked cookie cake.
28:42I decorated it like my grandmother's vintage shimmery Christmas wreath.
28:49This cake is absolutely beautiful.
28:54Very nice.
28:55Your color palette here is fantastic.
28:57Look at them sort of individually like, wow, that's not really like a Christmas color.
29:02Taking everything together, it's like a Lambeth Christmas wreath.
29:06It is just beautiful.
29:08Yes.
29:09Yes.
29:10It's darling.
29:11This has a cinnamon apple whiskey compote.
29:17Erin, the flavors are incredible.
29:19The apple.
29:20I want more of it.
29:21I want a side of apple.
29:22Yeah, I think it's delicious.
29:23It's a lot of buttercream.
29:24I think you could have, like, given me something else, you know?
29:28Okay.
29:29I tried.
29:33Hello.
29:34Hey, Alex.
29:35Welcome back.
29:36I made a Black Forest milkweed.
29:38Between the layers, we have a chocolate chromo moussi situation, some soft whipped cr猫me chantilly, fresh cherries, cherry compote and almond chocolate crunch.
29:49You definitely brought the nice, and you brought the stylish.
29:54Your piping is so beautiful.
29:56The way that the mousse, like, really held together just looks luscious.
30:02Yeah, look at that.
30:03Wow, look at that.
30:04My goodness gracious.
30:05That looks tasty.
30:06Come on, Mama.
30:07It's amazing.
30:08Breaking apart.
30:09Oh.
30:10Oh.
30:11There's, uh, amaranth cherries, as well as fresh cherries in there, just to give a little pop of a boozy cherry flavor.
30:17Okay, I don't like it.
30:20Oh.
30:22Joke.
30:23Oh, God.
30:25This is delicious.
30:27You got crispy layers all the way through your puff pastry.
30:31You baked it correctly.
30:32Cherries two ways, I think, was really smart.
30:36This is the best thing you've made yet.
30:38Oh, my gosh.
30:39What?
30:40What?
30:41But I want more crunch in my layer.
30:43Yes.
30:44Because I got a little bit of it, and I wanted more of it.
30:46Yes.
30:47Appreciate it.
30:48Thank you, guys.
30:49Thank you, Alex.
30:50Mmm.
30:51Mmm.
30:52Someone's gonna have to bring it to beat Alex.
30:54Wow.
30:55Oh, my God.
30:56I could eat the whole thing.
30:57I am going to.
30:58You can't believe it.
30:59Oh, my God.
31:00I'll take that.
31:01Are you so good about making vodka?
31:02Yes.
31:05How are we doing, Violet?
31:06Hello.
31:07I'm good.
31:08How are you, Violet?
31:09A pumpkin bundt cake.
31:10I did, like, a simple royal icing down the sides to keep it traditional.
31:13And then on top, I did a cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
31:16And then I have some little gingerbread snowflake cookies.
31:19Violet.
31:20Yes.
31:21I'm not seeing nice here.
31:23I'm seeing very messy, and I want you to put more effort into your decorating.
31:30Okay.
31:31Yeah, I feel like it looks like a cake.
31:33I wouldn't look at that and be like, oh, it's a wreath.
31:35Thank you very much.
31:36Thank you very much.
31:37That's a really good pumpkin bundt cake.
31:40But I would have to say your frosting is a little too sweet.
31:44Yeah.
31:45It's a good bundt cake.
31:46You made a bundt cake.
31:47Yeah.
31:48Right?
31:49Yeah.
31:50I know.
31:51I know.
31:52I gotta do more.
31:53I know.
31:54I gotta do more.
31:55Yeah.
31:56If I had put more thought into it, it would have been more wreath-like.
31:59I'm just worried that it's not enough to pull me through.
32:03But I thought it looked cute.
32:05It was.
32:09Chase, welcome back.
32:10All right, man.
32:11Tell us what you made.
32:12I made a pad of shoe wreath with vanilla cream, a sugar plum, and black cherry jam.
32:19The sugar plum in me was the nice element.
32:22You know, you've set your own bar very high for us.
32:25I know.
32:26And I'm a little surprised at what you're delivering today.
32:31Mm-hmm.
32:32It's like a collection of nice-looking pad of shoe.
32:35In the shape of a wreath, and they're green.
32:38Oh.
32:39It's nice, but it just looks a little slapdash.
32:42My wreath needed to be a little bit cleaner for their expectations for the challenge itself.
32:47If this doesn't taste good, I could be the one going home today.
32:50Mmm.
32:51Ooh.
32:52Ooh.
32:53They're gonna love them as soon as they taste them.
32:55Your pad of shoe is spot on textbook.
32:56The crackling is really, really good.
32:57But the filling was a little tart.
33:00Too much filling and not enough cream.
33:01I disagree.
33:02Well, look, you're wrong.
33:03And I'm right.
33:04Thank you, Chase.
33:05Of course.
33:06Chase, thanks so much.
33:07Thanks, Chase.
33:08Thanks, Chase.
33:09Thanks, Chase.
33:10I'm scared, though.
33:11I'm gonna go home if we don't win it.
33:12We haven't seen Naughty yet.
33:13I liked it.
33:14I know you did.
33:15I don't know why.
33:16I feel like I got taken down.
33:18I have a big perfectionist inside of myself.
33:20I have a big perfectionist inside of myself.
33:22And I think it's really good.
33:23It's really, really good.
33:24But the filling was a little tart.
33:27Too much filling and not enough cream.
33:29I disagree.
33:30Well, you're wrong.
33:31And I'm right.
33:32Thank you, Chase.
33:33Of course.
33:34Chase, thanks so much.
33:35Thanks, Chase.
33:36And I just felt like, whoa.
33:39Like, that really flustered me.
33:41See you soon.
33:42Bye.
33:43See you soon.
33:44Bye.
33:45Just always go to the store.
33:46Wow, there's so many chairs and so few people to sit in them.
33:49I know.
33:50Judges, we got holiday wreath desserts from Team Naughty.
33:52Come on in, Ashley.
33:54Hi, Judges.
33:55Hey, Ashley.
33:56Good to see you again.
33:57Good to see you as well.
33:58All right.
33:59Tell us what you made.
34:00My future sister-in-law lives in the Grand Cayman Islands,
34:02so during Christmas, she's always teasing us about having sunshine
34:05and rum drinks, so I did a coconut entremet today with some caramelized pineapples.
34:12I decorated it with a mirror glaze and chocolate wreaths.
34:16I like how you didn't take the challenge literal, and your mirror glaze is perfect.
34:23And I love the way that you did the wreaths.
34:25I love how it's sort of spiky and, like, they look really beautiful.
34:29It's a total wow.
34:30You guys give me chills.
34:33All right.
34:34Let's give them a try.
34:36Ooh.
34:38On the inside is going to be a cream cheese and Greek yogurt mousse,
34:42a little bit of fouillotine, and some fresh pineapple as well.
34:49Mmm.
34:50My wig is going to fall off.
34:51And that caramelized pineapple?
34:55So naughty.
34:59Oh, man.
35:01Let's go!
35:03This is magnificent.
35:07Aw.
35:08The texture is absolutely perfect.
35:11Your flavors are coming through.
35:13It's decadent.
35:15Mmm.
35:16I love your cake.
35:17Inside, the little chunks of pineapple and coconut, they are so good.
35:21Okay.
35:22Better get out of here before they say something bad about your dessert.
35:24I know.
35:25I'm going to run away before you guys change your mind.
35:29Aw.
35:31Good job.
35:32Amazing.
35:35All right, Tara, good to see you again.
35:37Hello.
35:38What did you make?
35:39So, every year, my siblings and I, right, we get a lot of candy in our holiday stockings.
35:45So, I was inspired to make a candy wreath out of cupcakes.
35:49And I made all the candy on top as well, like candied peanuts and like honeycomb.
35:54I think it looks very festive.
35:56That is a fabulous wreath.
36:01All of the naughty little candies on top, my dentist would definitely say that that is naughty.
36:05There is a chocolate cupcake with a pretzel brown butter crust, a peanut butter mousse, and then there's a Swiss spring buttercream on top.
36:14I love all of your flavors, but it kind of fell apart, so I made it a little messy.
36:17Your honeycomb is so light and airy and crispy. It's lovely.
36:23I'm still eating the crust.
36:25That's awesome.
36:29Great job.
36:31That was good.
36:32That was good.
36:33I feel like I really redeemed myself in so many ways.
36:36Like, I feel good about how that went.
36:38Like, my palms are sweating.
36:40I'm sore my necks.
36:42Look at him, look at him, look at him.
36:47Welcome in, Nico.
36:49Hello.
36:51All right, Nico.
36:52Explain yourself.
36:53Okay, judges.
36:54I'm Jewish.
36:55Grew up in a Jewish household.
36:56We didn't have wreaths in my house.
36:58So I sort of want to do my interpretation on a wreath that you would see in our house.
37:02What I made for you today is a pecan and bacon blondie.
37:07To really up the naughty factor, we put a little pig munching on some bacon.
37:13Oy, gewalt!
37:14What are you mashugging in?
37:16All of that.
37:18A Star of David covered in bacon.
37:21There is a pig with a yarmulke.
37:23Yep.
37:24I think that is genius.
37:25It does look like a wreath, and it looks like you have the points of Star of David.
37:29Nico, you naughty boy.
37:31You naughty boy, you.
37:33So, the brown part is a whipped blonde chocolate and maple ganache, and then the white is the
37:41maple cream cheese.
37:44There's so much bacon.
37:46There's bacon everywhere.
37:47Mm-hmm.
37:48But the texture of the blondie is a little dry.
37:50And the maple is so special, and I think when you add this much salt to it, it really
37:55gets kind of bitter.
37:56Hood.
37:57All right, Nico.
37:59Thank you, Nico.
38:00Happy Hanukkah.
38:03Hey, Charles.
38:04Good to see you.
38:05So, I made a banana and blonde chocolate bundt cake wreath that is getting a little bit
38:11destroyed by the house cat.
38:13That cat is naughty, pulling all the lights off the wreath.
38:18Naughty.
38:19Naughty cat.
38:20It has a lime with caramel center.
38:25The cake is fantastic.
38:27And then you get to the center where that lime caramel kind of lives, and I think it's a
38:31little too dark, and the lime kind of adds to the bitterness.
38:35Yeah.
38:36Not your best work, chef.
38:37You all right?
38:38Yeah?
38:39That's scary.
38:40All right, Charles.
38:41Thanks.
38:42Anytime there's negative feedback, it does make your heart hurt a little bit.
38:48We're kind of desperate to not lose another person.
38:50I'm scared we don't have, like, the one that's gonna set us all the way up.
38:53Yeah.
38:54Holiday Bakers, your wreath desserts deserve a round of applause.
38:59And though it wasn't easy, the judges chose their top treat from each team.
39:06From the naughty side, the best dish came from...
39:12Ashley.
39:13Whoo!
39:14And for the nice side...
39:19Alex, Alex, Alex!
39:22Whoo!
39:23But there can only be one winner.
39:28And that is...
39:31Ashley.
39:36Your tropical entremet was exquisite.
39:39Each layer built to such a satisfying bite.
39:42Ooh, naughty.
39:45Well done.
39:47You earned immunity from elimination for your entire team.
39:51Finally.
39:52We needed this.
39:53All right.
39:54That means, of course, team nice.
39:56For the first time, you're about to lose a baker.
39:59This is the first time the nice team is up for elimination, which is a little terrifying.
40:04I'm not ready to go home yet.
40:06There were a few of you that were successful enough in this challenge to stay safe.
40:11Of course, the top baker from your team, Alex.
40:15And Aaron, great decorating today.
40:18Oh!
40:19John Carlos, you too.
40:20Beautiful work.
40:22And...
40:26Camry.
40:27Yeah.
40:28Unfortunately, that means Violet, Chase, you're both the bottom two from your team.
40:32Please step forward.
40:35I think the decision to not take their mixers away was not beneficial in the long run.
40:39So the fact that somebody's going home, I do feel a lot of guilt about.
40:44Violet, you tried to give us a wreath, but it really read as like a cake with stuff on top.
40:49The frosting was too sweet.
40:51And the overall impression was just a little underwhelming.
40:55Chase, where was your wreath, man?
40:58You gave us a collection of cream puffs, and the flavors weren't balanced, and there was way too much jam.
41:05This is always the hardest part for our judges.
41:09But unfortunately, the baker leaving us is...
41:16Violet.
41:19I feel like my dessert was not bad.
41:21They just wanted more.
41:23So...
41:24I should have done more.
41:25Thanks, Diko.
41:27Being this young and just getting on the show was like a crazy feat for me.
41:32So, I'm honestly...
41:33I'm glad to just be here.
41:34Bye, Violet.
41:35We love you.
41:36Bye, Violet.
41:38Bye.
41:39Bye, Violet.
41:40Bye, baby.
41:41Next time, pies take over the Holiday Village.
41:44I would take Team Naughty down by the flavors.
41:47He's talking smack over there.
41:48Be ready.
41:49Ooh.
41:50And so does a never-before-seen twist.
41:54What do you mean?
41:55I can't breathe.
41:56I can't breathe.
41:57I can't breathe.
41:58I can't breathe.
41:59I can't breathe.
42:00I can't breathe.
42:01I can't breathe.
42:02I can't breathe.
42:03I can't breathe.
42:04I can't breathe.
42:05I can't breathe.
42:06I can't breathe.
42:07I can't breathe.
42:08I can't breathe.
42:09I can't breathe.
42:10I can't breathe.
42:11I can't breathe.
42:12I can't breathe.
42:13I can't breathe.
42:14I can't breathe.
42:15I can't breathe.
42:16I can't breathe.
42:17I can't breathe.
42:18I can't breathe.
42:19I can't breathe.
42:20I can't breathe.
42:21I can't breathe.
