1
00:00:12,762 --> 00:00:14,097
Are you kidding me?
2
00:00:17,058 --> 00:00:18,518
-Wow.
-Oh my--
3
00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:20,854
I need this throne at my house.
4
00:00:21,438 --> 00:00:23,064
Winner needs to get this.
5
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:27,902
Hello, bakers,
6
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:32,032
and welcome to the finale!
7
00:00:37,078 --> 00:00:39,247
-Do you like my throne?
-Love it.
8
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:40,665
-We want it.
-I need it.
9
00:00:40,749 --> 00:00:45,754
Does it remind you of something
out of the hit TV show Game of --
10
00:00:46,296 --> 00:00:47,130
Sorry.
11
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:52,385
The Witcher, the Netflix Original
fantasy series?
12
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:54,137
-Yes.
13
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,306
Thank you, Jonny!
14
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:58,808
You shall live.
15
00:01:00,435 --> 00:01:02,854
All right. Bakers,
16
00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:05,482
everything you have worked so hard for
17
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:08,026
has come down to this moment.
18
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:13,865
You've persevered
through pounds of fondant,
19
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:16,117
modeling chocolate
20
00:01:16,201 --> 00:01:18,203
and, of course, tiltscape… Steve.
21
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:20,705
…to make it here,
22
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:25,585
but only one of you can walk away
as the Is It Cake? champion
23
00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:29,005
and take home $50,000!
24
00:01:31,549 --> 00:01:36,429
All right, bakers, one last time
we're going to play Find That Cake!
25
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,056
Yes!
26
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:47,899
Today holds a very special advantage
for whoever wins.
27
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:52,028
Cake Wall, spin for me!
28
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:57,450
Oh ho ho ho ho ho!
29
00:01:57,534 --> 00:01:58,952
-But that--
-What the--
30
00:01:59,035 --> 00:02:00,161
That's right.
31
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:02,956
-Invisible one.
-Oh man.
32
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,542
One of these podiums is cake!
33
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:07,001
-No.
-Are you--
34
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:08,878
I'm not lying! One podium is cake!
35
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:10,880
-No way.
-No!
36
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:14,259
-Jesus!
-It's the finale, folks!
37
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:19,764
You'll have 20 seconds to find the cake
and lock in your answers.
38
00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:22,183
This is shenanigans.
39
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:26,646
Your time starts now.
40
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:45,081
Welcome to the fun house.
41
00:02:45,874 --> 00:02:47,709
Ten seconds.
42
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:53,631
Five seconds.
43
00:02:57,385 --> 00:03:00,847
-April. Three, two, one.
-I did it! I did--
44
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:02,223
Time's up.
45
00:03:03,391 --> 00:03:04,726
Surprised?
46
00:03:04,809 --> 00:03:06,853
-Yeah.
47
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:10,565
Let's see who got it right.
48
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:13,943
April, you picked Number Two. Why?
49
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:17,363
The corners are a little rounder,
and I see a little dent
50
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:19,073
that's highlighted by the light.
51
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,659
-Yeah.
-Let's find out if it's cake.
52
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:23,494
Yes, that's right.
53
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:26,122
-They gave an idiot a machete.
54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,124
Here we go, bakers.
55
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:30,752
Is it cake?
56
00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:42,472
That's cake. That's cake.
57
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:45,642
Damn you, podium!
58
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:49,270
Here's Johnny!
59
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:55,151
-Yes! That's cake.
-Oh my God!
60
00:03:55,652 --> 00:03:57,862
Yeah! Oh, sprinkles!
61
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,240
-Oh my God!
-Oh wow.
62
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,868
As you can see, it's cake.
63
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:11,668
All of you found it,
64
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:14,504
but one of you found it fastest.
65
00:04:14,587 --> 00:04:16,339
That lucky baker is…
66
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:18,591
April.
67
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:20,593
-Yes!
68
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:23,471
You have won a very important advantage
69
00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:26,140
that will help you
in this final challenge.
70
00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:29,644
There's a reason
that these podiums are empty,
71
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:33,898
because today we're
not telling you what to make.
72
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:35,942
-Ooh.
-Huh.
73
00:04:36,025 --> 00:04:38,152
Now I'm sure each of you has an object
74
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:41,656
that you've always wanted
to turn into an amazing cake.
75
00:04:41,739 --> 00:04:44,075
Well, now's your chance.
76
00:04:44,158 --> 00:04:49,998
You can create any cake that you think
is worthy of $50,000.
77
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:56,045
Just remember, you need
to blow our judges' minds
78
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,089
and trick their eyes.
79
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:04,345
We are expecting to see
spectacular cakes, but…
80
00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,014
you won't be doing it alone.
81
00:05:08,182 --> 00:05:11,102
Gallery, please join us.
82
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:14,731
This is crazy.
83
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:16,983
Oh, this is a crazy day.
84
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:20,486
Did you hear that? The sound
of Jonny's mind being blown.
85
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:23,323
Let me tell you something.
This is a great show.
86
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:26,951
-I really think people should watch it.
87
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:32,498
Each of you will get to choose
one of the eliminated bakers
88
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:36,919
to help you in the kitchen
as your baking assistant.
89
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:40,214
You can use your baking assistant
however you see fit
90
00:05:40,298 --> 00:05:42,675
for the entire duration of the bake
91
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:45,595
to help you create the cake
of your dreams.
92
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:47,889
It's our gift to you.
93
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:52,143
And April, as the first person
to find the cake podium,
94
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:54,729
you get first pick.
95
00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:56,314
A lot of talent up there.
96
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:57,857
So much talent.
97
00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:03,196
I would be happy to have
any one of these amazing bakers with me.
98
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:06,366
I'm gonna go with my girl Nina.
99
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:08,034
Nina!
100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,161
I like it.
101
00:06:10,244 --> 00:06:11,412
Yes.
102
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:13,623
The baker to come in second was…
103
00:06:15,124 --> 00:06:17,377
-Andrew.
-Oh.
104
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:20,546
Who would you like
as your baking assistant?
105
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:21,672
I don't know.
106
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:27,095
-I pick Jonny.
-Jonny!
107
00:06:27,178 --> 00:06:28,721
Little old me?
108
00:06:28,805 --> 00:06:29,889
Great choice.
109
00:06:31,474 --> 00:06:35,228
And, finally, Hemu, who will be
joining you in the kitchen?
110
00:06:35,812 --> 00:06:37,063
I think…
111
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:41,609
Dessiree, because she wanted
one more chance
112
00:06:41,692 --> 00:06:43,861
to show her skill to her daughter.
113
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:44,946
Aw!
114
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:46,447
Dessiree!
115
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,741
Welcome. That is awesome.
116
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:51,577
-Andrew, April and Hemu…
-Mm-hmm.
117
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:54,247
…I don't want to keep you
from that $50,000 any longer,
118
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:58,626
so it's time to play,
one last time, Is It Cake?
119
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:06,134
It is time for you to get to work
120
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:09,554
and design the hyper-realistic cake
of your dreams.
121
00:07:10,471 --> 00:07:13,558
All of you will get 12 hours.
122
00:07:13,641 --> 00:07:15,226
-Ooh!
-Wow.
123
00:07:15,309 --> 00:07:19,188
Head to the kitchen and suit up,
and bring your assistants.
124
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:23,234
The others, go to the gallery.
125
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:28,281
It's time to bake!
126
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:32,493
This is the shell. I was thinking--
127
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:36,622
Have you ever seen those vintage
Singer sewing machines?
128
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,749
Here's what I'm thinking.
129
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,251
I wanna do a little suitcase.
130
00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:42,753
I want it to be weathered
with travel stamps over it.
131
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:46,591
Pieces of fabric hanging out
that look like my clothing, you know?
132
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:49,927
So, I'm thinking
to make a stone sculpture.
133
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:53,222
They look rustic
and antique kind of stuff.
134
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:55,308
There's a lot of marble texture.
135
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,935
-You ready to do this, girl? Yes!
-You got this.
136
00:07:58,019 --> 00:08:00,521
I'm thinking I wanna do, like, a suitcase.
137
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:03,024
It's gonna be really hard,
but it's worth it.
138
00:08:03,107 --> 00:08:05,193
It's just a suitcase,
but it's very symbolic
139
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:07,403
because my first ever sculpted cake
140
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,822
was a suitcase cake
that I made for my husband.
141
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:14,535
The very first cake I ever did
was a suitcase for my husband
142
00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:17,914
as a gift before we embarked on a journey
around the world,
143
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:22,585
and a huge part of my marriage to
my husband is seeing the world together,
144
00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:25,505
down to the fact that I'm
covered in my passport stamps.
145
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,715
This was the first place we went,
Costa Rica.
146
00:08:27,798 --> 00:08:31,093
-Where else?
-Machu Picchu. There's Thailand.
147
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:32,970
-This is our life. Yeah.
-I love it.
148
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:37,475
The story behind this is I lived
with my grandmother for a long time.
149
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:39,769
-She taught me how to sew.
-Aw!
150
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:42,939
My grandmother was around
for all my childhood.
151
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:45,066
She was constantly mending things.
152
00:08:45,149 --> 00:08:46,734
And the sewing machine is a nod
153
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:49,362
to those amazing skills
that my grandmother taught me.
154
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:53,741
I want this cake to sort of bring back
that feeling of my childhood,
155
00:08:53,824 --> 00:08:56,911
because any time food can
bring back a memory,
156
00:08:56,994 --> 00:08:58,663
it always tastes better.
157
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:01,958
So, I've decided to make a s'mores cake.
158
00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:06,003
Just so it's like that kind of
golden graham-crackery thing.
159
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:08,673
We've got vanilla-cinnamon cake batter
160
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:11,467
to give kind of
a warm graham cracker flavor,
161
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:12,969
dark chocolate ganache,
162
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:17,306
and, of course, roasted marshmallow
Swiss meringue buttercream
163
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:20,142
full of charred marshmallows.
164
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,853
I wanna make sure
when you take a bite into that,
165
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,146
you think of a s'more.
166
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,607
-Smells like camping.
-Right.
167
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:33,656
What you got going on over there, Hemu?
168
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,950
I'm making a stone sculpture.
169
00:09:36,033 --> 00:09:38,286
I'm choosing a bust cake
170
00:09:38,369 --> 00:09:40,955
because when it comes to
making bust cakes,
171
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:45,126
old artifacts, antique cakes,
it's my art. It's my art.
172
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:47,962
But it's really easy to make mistakes,
173
00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:52,675
so I have to get that sculpture
looking absolutely perfect.
174
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:55,761
Like you see in Italy.
You go and you see the sculptures.
175
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:56,679
Absolutely.
176
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:59,765
So, our flavors are
like you're having a coffee
177
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:02,643
and you're eating the biscuits
and watching the sculptures.
178
00:10:02,727 --> 00:10:03,894
-Coffee?
-Yes.
179
00:10:03,978 --> 00:10:06,105
Oh my God.
We're doing the same thing.
180
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:11,235
I'm making vanilla cake
with coffee Swiss meringue buttercream,
181
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:14,739
toasted hazelnuts and brownie.
182
00:10:14,822 --> 00:10:17,450
If they're doing coffee,
we should add ladyfingers to ours.
183
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:19,869
I think we should do
the ladyfingers, for sure.
184
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,538
I decided to do two flavors
for my suitcase
185
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:25,625
just to have the opportunity
to show some of my creativity.
186
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:28,377
This is the finale.
I wanna blow the judges' minds.
187
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:32,256
So, I'm doing a tiramisu cake
with vanilla cake,
188
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,468
espresso buttercream, mascarpone cheese,
189
00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:36,802
and a chocolate ganache,
190
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:38,679
and some crushed-up ladyfingers.
191
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:42,183
For the other side of my suitcase,
I'm doing a baklava cake
192
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:46,812
made with pistachio cake,
rose honey buttercream,
193
00:10:46,896 --> 00:10:48,856
and some crushed-up pistachios
194
00:10:48,939 --> 00:10:50,358
and a little bit of fig jam.
195
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:54,445
Oh, that's delicious.
196
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:03,704
Bakers, it's me!
197
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:04,914
Hey, Mikey.
198
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,751
I was hiding. I have your decoys here.
199
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:12,380
April, I have your vintage
sewing machines.
200
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:15,424
Andrew, your old-timey hobo suitcases,
201
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,094
or the suitcase
that Where's Waldo carries around.
202
00:11:19,303 --> 00:11:20,596
-And Hemu…
-Yes.
203
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:24,642
-…I have your old busts.
-Perfect.
204
00:11:24,725 --> 00:11:25,935
And here's another thing.
205
00:11:26,018 --> 00:11:29,397
It's gonna be a little harder
to deceive the judges this time,
206
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,441
'cause you're working with one less decoy.
207
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:37,988
That means there will only be four podiums
when the judges are looking for your cake.
208
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:42,243
So, every detail is very important.
209
00:11:42,326 --> 00:11:46,080
If they gave me, like,
nine sewing machines to put up there,
210
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:47,707
I'd feel a lot more confident.
211
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,709
But now we're working with three.
212
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:52,128
This is gonna make things so much harder.
213
00:11:52,211 --> 00:11:55,381
All right, good luck.
I'll be back to check on you later.
214
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:57,425
I'm obsessed with this.
215
00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,051
It looks so pretty.
216
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:00,845
-This is heavy.
-Yeah, they're heavy.
217
00:12:00,928 --> 00:12:03,305
None of these have a light bulb.
Interesting.
218
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:08,060
In these old sewing machines,
there is often a light bulb on the back.
219
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:11,731
If we put a light bulb and none of them
really have a light bulb
220
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:13,816
that's gonna throw them off.
221
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:17,903
If we can execute that, that is really
going to astound the judges.
222
00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:21,532
So, Nina is making an isomalt light bulb
for this cake.
223
00:12:21,615 --> 00:12:23,200
-Oh, is that one tinted?
-Yeah.
224
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:26,162
-Oh, that's so good. Yes.
-It looks aged, right?
225
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:29,248
-Maybe we can mold the hand wheel?
-Uh-huh.
226
00:12:29,331 --> 00:12:32,877
Adding on all these details
is actually really hard to do.
227
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,755
But throughout this competition,
I've learned a lot.
228
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:40,009
I've learned that I can
rise to the occasion.
229
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:44,597
I've learned that I can
do something scary and excel.
230
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,851
-Look how this looks kinda like thread.
-Oh man, that'd be amazing.
231
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:51,270
I'm really proud of myself!
I'm really excited,
232
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:53,397
and I really, really wanna win that money.
233
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:54,899
That's gonna be good. Yeah.
234
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,402
Okay, bakers, six hours left.
235
00:12:58,486 --> 00:12:59,403
Six hours.
236
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:14,794
I start stacking my tiramisu cake
and then the baklava cake,
237
00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:18,839
and I keep laying my cakes in this order
until I get the right height
238
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:19,840
for the suitcase.
239
00:13:19,924 --> 00:13:21,550
So, I'll line it up and you look.
240
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,261
This cake could easily
feed several hundred people.
241
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:25,513
It's a lot of cake.
242
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:28,599
I've nervous that,
because it is so incredibly big
243
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:31,811
the judges are gonna be
able to look at all the fine details
244
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:34,939
that I know that they weren't gonna see
from a small cake.
245
00:13:35,022 --> 00:13:38,692
But it's the finale,
so I gotta go big with this thing.
246
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:40,361
It's go big or go home.
247
00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:43,322
I can start ganaching this,
and you can do the Flexique.
248
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:44,240
Yeah.
249
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,951
-This height is enough.
-Not too big for the face?
250
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:48,410
Like, it's gonna sculpt.
251
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:51,622
All of my cake will be
in her shoulders, her bust,
252
00:13:51,705 --> 00:13:54,959
but, right now,
it just looks like a rectangle.
253
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:57,711
I have to carve it in the shape of bust
254
00:13:57,795 --> 00:13:59,839
and build the shoulders.
255
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:04,760
I want that grand title of winner
because of my sister.
256
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:08,097
She passed away this January.
257
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,809
She would go gaga about everything I do.
258
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:13,936
I know wherever she is,
259
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:17,690
she's gonna be so happy
to see me winning the title.
260
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:23,237
I need to put now her head
and then see how I'm gonna do it.
261
00:14:24,154 --> 00:14:25,531
Four hours, bakers.
262
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:27,992
-Four hours.
263
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:37,960
-I think it's big enough.
-You do?
264
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:38,961
Hold it up again.
265
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:41,380
I decided to cover the cake
with modeling chocolate
266
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:43,966
because it's really forgiving with seams.
267
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:45,885
It takes on textures well.
268
00:14:45,968 --> 00:14:48,888
Oh my God, did you
use that whole container of chocolate?
269
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:50,264
-Of course.
-Love it.
270
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:54,810
To get this leather texture of the cake,
it's one of the most important details.
271
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:59,690
The whole suitcase is gonna sell
by looking like actual leather.
272
00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:02,985
So, we start by using
a distressed leather texture mat,
273
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:06,864
and, you know,
wear and age with the color dust.
274
00:15:06,947 --> 00:15:09,283
-Andrew, that looks like leather.
-Right?
275
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:10,451
That's awesome.
276
00:15:10,534 --> 00:15:14,038
For the bust,
it's important to have a good structure
277
00:15:14,121 --> 00:15:17,249
because it's made mainly
out of modeling chocolate,
278
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:19,251
and modeling chocolate is heavy.
279
00:15:19,335 --> 00:15:22,880
I'm using a wooden board and a PVC pipe
for my face structure.
280
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:24,256
This is gonna be head.
281
00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:25,507
That's smart.
282
00:15:26,008 --> 00:15:30,387
So, I'm making kind of a ball
from the aluminum foil,
283
00:15:30,471 --> 00:15:33,766
and then I started sculpting the head
with modeling chocolate.
284
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:37,227
My thing is, like,
making these sculpted cakes.
285
00:15:37,311 --> 00:15:38,312
It's just my thing.
286
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,732
The only thing I'm nervous about
is the eyes.
287
00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:44,777
Eyes is the most focal point of the cake.
288
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:47,905
Like, if you can get the eyes right,
it looks alive.
289
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,908
The structure is hugely important.
290
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:52,618
This will make or break this cake.
291
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:57,456
So, I cut my sheet cakes
to the exact size of the board
292
00:15:57,539 --> 00:16:01,126
and form it around the structure
very carefully.
293
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,878
Cut that a bit more.
294
00:16:03,545 --> 00:16:06,757
Got my cake base. Now it's time to focus
on the sewing machine.
295
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,258
I want it to be nice and light
296
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:10,386
so we have no worries
about it falling over.
297
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:15,057
So, I grab some rice cereal treats
and start forming it around the structure.
298
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,850
This is really like a clay almost.
299
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:17,893
Oh, I love it.
300
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:25,150
Two hours. Two hours, bakers.
301
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:27,861
It's crunch time.
302
00:16:37,579 --> 00:16:38,539
Hold it.
303
00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:46,296
Want me to do the stitching
and you do the Flexique?
304
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,924
I definitely can do the Flexique.
I know how to do that.
305
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,884
In order to get the edible fabric,
306
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:53,887
you have to print out your design
onto wafer paper,
307
00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:55,931
and then the Flexique is a mixture
308
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:59,643
that you have to paint onto the surface
of the wafer paper.
309
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:02,396
It's pretty cool
what they do with this stuff.
310
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:05,816
We're gonna cover up some of the wonkier
areas of this piece of luggage
311
00:17:05,899 --> 00:17:08,027
by strategically stuffing in the fabric
312
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:11,572
so that it looks like clothing that's
bursting out of a piece of luggage.
313
00:17:11,655 --> 00:17:13,991
There's $50,000 on the line.
314
00:17:14,074 --> 00:17:16,869
If it doesn't look right,
it's gonna be a total fail.
315
00:17:16,952 --> 00:17:17,995
No pressure.
316
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:20,664
-I mean, come on. That is pretty cool.
-Love it.
317
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:24,126
One hour, bakers. One hour.
318
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:25,669
I'm gonna stick this on.
319
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:28,338
To sell the fact
that this machine is functional,
320
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:31,717
I used modeling chocolate
to make a dial on the side
321
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,970
with little notches
and also the little knob
322
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:36,847
to change the settings of the machine.
323
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:42,186
So, if the judges inspect my cake,
those knobs can turn.
324
00:17:42,269 --> 00:17:47,524
I'm gonna put a little hooky up here,
and then we can loop the string in it.
325
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:49,610
Whoa.
326
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:52,404
-This is… Yes.
-You like it?
327
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:55,199
-Uh-huh.
-This is looking like cement.
328
00:17:55,282 --> 00:17:58,911
We have three different color royal icing
which we'll use on our cake,
329
00:17:58,994 --> 00:18:01,038
dark gray, light gray and white,
330
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:03,582
and we just blotch all over the bust,
331
00:18:03,665 --> 00:18:07,044
and then we sand it
with the fine grit sandpaper.
332
00:18:07,127 --> 00:18:11,632
-This effect is killing.
-Amazing.
333
00:18:11,715 --> 00:18:16,261
Fifteen minutes, bakers.
Last looks, final touches.
334
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:20,390
-What color you want there?
-Um, I really like the pink and blues.
335
00:18:20,474 --> 00:18:21,934
Okay, I'll start with that.
336
00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:23,894
This is where I shine,
337
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:26,730
where my artistic abilities
really come to play.
338
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:29,691
Adding in stitching
and giving it some wear,
339
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:32,111
looking like it's been around for decades.
340
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:33,987
This is what I came here for.
341
00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:37,324
I'm not just a cake artist,
and I'm not just a weirdo.
342
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:41,495
I wanna prove to people that I'm
the best of the best at what I do.
343
00:18:41,578 --> 00:18:43,247
These stickers are looking cool.
344
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,666
Okay, bakers, five minutes left.
345
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:49,962
It's been a roller coaster ride for me.
346
00:18:50,045 --> 00:18:56,218
I have never imagined that my cake's gonna
lead me to the $50,000,
347
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:59,680
but I think this bust cake
is worth the 50,000.
348
00:18:59,763 --> 00:19:03,100
It looks unreal. It looks really good.
349
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:09,189
It's just edible art paint stuff,
that I gotta try to get it on there.
350
00:19:09,273 --> 00:19:12,693
I'm really hoping
that the details I've put in,
351
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:17,447
from the little tiny piece of thread,
the light bulb, the dials,
352
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:21,368
will really sell this
as the real deal to the judges.
353
00:19:21,451 --> 00:19:23,078
This is the moment.
354
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:26,331
After this, you go home a winner
or you don't.
355
00:19:26,415 --> 00:19:29,918
Okay, bakers, final one-minute warning.
356
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:31,336
Ooh!
357
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:33,297
-Right up here?
-Like where the bulb--
358
00:19:41,805 --> 00:19:42,639
Time is up.
359
00:19:43,223 --> 00:19:46,518
-Well done. Well done.
360
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:50,522
Next time I see you,
it'll be in front of the judges.
361
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:51,982
Very exciting.
362
00:19:57,779 --> 00:20:03,452
One of you is taking home
the grand prize of $50,000.
363
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:05,787
-Ooh, look at them.
364
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,456
Who will it be?
365
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:10,042
Well, that's all in the hands
of our panel of judges,
366
00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:12,211
-so let's meet them.
367
00:20:12,294 --> 00:20:15,714
She's a comedian, actor
and host, Loni Love!
368
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:20,510
You're so funny.
369
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:22,221
Oh, you are too, Mikey.
370
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:23,347
Aw!
371
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:25,015
Loni likes my tux.
372
00:20:25,098 --> 00:20:28,393
You got shiny shoes.
It's the finale.
373
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:29,937
And my shoes!
374
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,232
He's one of the funniest guys I know.
375
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,317
Eh, I guess.
376
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,445
-Actor, comedian and…
- What? So rude.
377
00:20:38,528 --> 00:20:42,199
…David Pumpkins' right skeleton
to my left skeleton,
378
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:43,367
Bobby Moynihan.
379
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:47,162
-Bobby!
380
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,456
-Hi!
-I love you, sir.
381
00:20:49,539 --> 00:20:51,708
-Hello, fellow skeleton.
382
00:20:51,792 --> 00:20:54,628
Finally, author, host
and member of the Fab Five
383
00:20:54,711 --> 00:20:58,548
on the Netflix series Queer Eye,
Mr. Karamo Brown.
384
00:20:58,632 --> 00:20:59,508
Karamo!
385
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:02,010
You're saving the world.
386
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:05,013
-You do so much good for the world.
-No. We try.
387
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:08,350
You worked with and continue
to work with President Obama?
388
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:10,269
-I do. Yeah.
-Wow.
389
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:12,688
So my hard-hitting question is…
390
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:13,772
Uh-oh.
391
00:21:13,855 --> 00:21:14,856
…is he so cool?
392
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,233
Yes!
393
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:18,902
He's cool. He's sweet. He's fine.
394
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:21,363
-I don't know if you can say that.
-Yes, you can.
395
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:23,115
-We're all in agreement.
-You can.
396
00:21:23,198 --> 00:21:26,368
All right, judges, welcome to the finale.
397
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:30,163
You're the only thing that stands between
one of these wonderful bakers
398
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:32,457
and $50,000.
399
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:33,458
Oh!
400
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:37,879
Let me introduce you
to the first baker up today, April.
401
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:39,673
The wonderful April.
402
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,093
Cake Wall, spin.
403
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:48,682
You're about to see
four vintage sewing machines,
404
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:51,810
but one of those
sewing machines is a cake.
405
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:54,479
Let's see if you can find it.
406
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,443
Your time starts now.
407
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:02,487
-What?!
-Oh.
408
00:22:02,571 --> 00:22:04,406
-Oh my goodness!
-Oh my--
409
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:07,951
-First thoughts?
-Yeah. Immediately I'm looking at color.
410
00:22:08,035 --> 00:22:10,537
Number One looks like
it's outta my closet.
411
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:13,081
-Okay. They look so good.
412
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:14,583
Ten seconds.
413
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,543
Number Two… Wait, how much time? Ooh.
414
00:22:16,626 --> 00:22:18,211
-Three is real.
-So shiny.
415
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:20,922
-The shine on it is--
-That's too real.
416
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:24,259
-Four or One? This is amazing.
-Goodness.
417
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,970
-We have to look at the time!
-This is hard!
418
00:22:27,054 --> 00:22:28,638
Three seconds. Lock it in.
419
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:31,558
Three is real.
There's no way it's that one.
420
00:22:31,641 --> 00:22:33,643
-I'm gonna go with Four!
-Four!
421
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:35,687
-We did it! Nice, we got it.
422
00:22:38,231 --> 00:22:40,525
Judges, you locked in Number Four.
423
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:42,152
Let's see how you did.
424
00:22:42,235 --> 00:22:46,239
All right, April, you've
done an amazing job this whole time,
425
00:22:46,323 --> 00:22:50,452
and you've already won $15,000
in the competition.
426
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:53,372
So, if this is a real sewing machine,
427
00:22:53,455 --> 00:22:57,209
you have a chance to win another $50,000.
428
00:22:57,709 --> 00:22:59,336
Now the moment of truth,
429
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:02,047
and my favorite question,
430
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:04,633
is it cake?
431
00:23:05,926 --> 00:23:08,804
-Cut through it.
432
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:17,979
Oh!
433
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,439
Not cake!
434
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:22,567
It's One, Loni. It's One.
435
00:23:22,651 --> 00:23:26,696
Congratulations, April,
you have deceived our judges.
436
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:31,368
That means you are one step
closer to being our Is It Cake? champion
437
00:23:31,451 --> 00:23:34,329
and walking out of here with $50,000.
438
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:35,831
Which one's the real cake?
439
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:39,167
All right, April,
since the judges didn't find your cake,
440
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:41,670
you should be the one
to reveal it to them.
441
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:43,839
-Okay.
-So, please come up here.
442
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:45,382
If it's Two, I'mma gag.
443
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:47,801
-If it's One, I'mma gag.
-Yeah, right?
444
00:23:47,884 --> 00:23:49,052
Is it Two?
445
00:23:49,553 --> 00:23:50,387
No.
446
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:53,598
-Oh!
-It is One!
447
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:56,601
Wow.
448
00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:59,062
-How is that possible?
-That's cake.
449
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:01,314
-And that took you four years?
450
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:03,442
-12 hours.
-12 hours?
451
00:24:03,525 --> 00:24:05,110
Oh my goodness.
452
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:09,406
What I've made for you all
is a s'mores cake.
453
00:24:09,489 --> 00:24:11,533
Can you speed it up?
454
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:14,411
I'm trying!
455
00:24:14,494 --> 00:24:18,081
So, what you got inside
is some graham cracker cake,
456
00:24:18,165 --> 00:24:20,041
chocolate and marshmallows.
457
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,418
Thank you, darling.
458
00:24:22,502 --> 00:24:25,213
Mm. I feel guilty…
459
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,132
-…for eating it.
460
00:24:27,215 --> 00:24:28,884
Everything about it is beautiful.
461
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:33,638
You knew how to evenly distribute
the marshmallow, the chocolate,
462
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,391
the graham cracker,
which is actually cake.
463
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:38,393
You know, I see what you did here.
464
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,187
-And it's excellent.
-Thank you.
465
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:43,482
I mean, the aroma of this
does give you, like, campfire.
466
00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:44,733
It makes me feel at home.
467
00:24:44,816 --> 00:24:47,611
You're making your little girl proud
with the smell of this.
468
00:24:47,694 --> 00:24:50,614
It's exceptional. Yeah. Good job.
469
00:24:50,697 --> 00:24:53,325
April! April! April!
470
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:58,246
It's time for our next baker, Andrew.
471
00:24:59,706 --> 00:25:00,874
Andrew!
472
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:06,546
Andrew has defeated our judges
three times now with his incredible cakes.
473
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:09,132
Can he do it a fourth?
474
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:10,800
Cake Wall, spin.
475
00:25:10,884 --> 00:25:14,346
All right, judges, four suitcases are
traveling around the wall right now.
476
00:25:14,429 --> 00:25:18,975
Three contain clothes,
but one of them is cake.
477
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:25,065
Let's see if you give Andrew
his ticket to $50,000 or not.
478
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:28,485
Your time starts right now.
479
00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:31,738
How do you make clothes
out of cake?!
480
00:25:31,821 --> 00:25:32,781
This is amazing.
481
00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:33,949
-Amazing.
-Wow.
482
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:36,243
-Whoa!
-Exceptional. Okay.
483
00:25:36,326 --> 00:25:39,037
I think One is real.
Throwing that out there.
484
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,497
One is real.
485
00:25:41,414 --> 00:25:43,875
-I feel like Two is fake?
-Two?
486
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,043
Two is fake?
487
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:48,296
Three looks too obvious.
488
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:51,091
-I can't tell because--
-Ten seconds.
489
00:25:51,174 --> 00:25:53,468
…Three is upwards,
so I can't see the clothes.
490
00:25:54,427 --> 00:25:56,555
It's not Four. That's my underwear.
491
00:25:58,014 --> 00:25:58,890
-Two?
-Okay.
492
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:00,600
Five seconds, judges.
493
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:02,435
-Lock it in.
-Two!
494
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,354
-Time's up.
495
00:26:05,605 --> 00:26:08,275
Whoo! Got it in just under the wire.
496
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,319
You went with Two.
497
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:13,905
Let's see how you did this time, judges.
498
00:26:13,989 --> 00:26:15,949
You look like a bomb was about to go off.
499
00:26:18,034 --> 00:26:22,455
I'm realizing Two and Three have
the same pattern of clothes now.
500
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:25,875
This one is subconsciously flat
like a cake,
501
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:28,128
so I just wanna cut it in half and eat it.
502
00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:35,343
Andrew, everything you've worked for
throughout this competition
503
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:36,970
comes down to this case,
504
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:39,097
and this knife.
505
00:26:40,181 --> 00:26:41,516
So here we go, guys.
506
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:43,935
Is it cake?
507
00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:53,528
-Oh no!
-That's not a cake!
508
00:26:54,362 --> 00:26:55,655
Not cake!
509
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:56,906
That's not a cake!
510
00:26:57,824 --> 00:26:59,993
Andrew, you did it! Congrats!
511
00:27:00,076 --> 00:27:03,663
-It was one with the stickers!
-He was right. You were right.
512
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:05,665
You're four for four, buddy.
513
00:27:05,749 --> 00:27:09,961
Andrew, you are one step closer
to being our Is It Cake? champion.
514
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:13,506
Please come up here
and reveal your cake to the judges.
515
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:14,883
I think it's One.
516
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:17,969
I'm not messing with you guys this time.
I'm ready to just do it.
517
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:21,264
-If it's that One--
-Or it might be Four. I think it's One.
518
00:27:22,932 --> 00:27:25,685
-Okay, I guess.
-No way!
519
00:27:25,769 --> 00:27:27,896
-Four. The one I thought.
-So it is Four!
520
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:29,648
-No way!
-Ever the showman.
521
00:27:29,731 --> 00:27:31,107
Let's cut in to that…
522
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,863
Wow. Wow!
523
00:27:37,572 --> 00:27:40,283
-It's cake.
524
00:27:42,619 --> 00:27:44,245
Oh, that's so cake.
525
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:52,212
This side of the cake
is white velvet cake,
526
00:27:52,295 --> 00:27:55,048
mascarpone cheese, espresso buttercream
527
00:27:55,131 --> 00:27:57,884
and some crushed-up ladyfingers
to be like a tiramisu.
528
00:27:57,967 --> 00:28:01,846
And then this side of the cake
is a pistachio cake
529
00:28:01,930 --> 00:28:05,225
with a honey rose buttercream
and some fig jam.
530
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:06,142
I do.
531
00:28:06,226 --> 00:28:07,727
Oh, you're already married.
532
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:09,646
I'm sorry!
533
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:16,111
This pistachio is so good,
and it's so moist.
534
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:17,737
I love that it's not too sweet.
535
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,907
I liked the tiramisu side
a little bit better,
536
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:23,868
because it's a little bit sweeter
and a bit more my taste,
537
00:28:23,952 --> 00:28:26,621
and I'm not adventurous
in any way, shape or form.
538
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:32,919
The fork just goes through the cake
as if it just came out right now.
539
00:28:33,002 --> 00:28:36,256
-It's so moist and so nice. I'm amazed.
-Mm-hmm.
540
00:28:36,339 --> 00:28:39,384
All right, well, congratulations, Andrew.
541
00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:41,678
-The streak continues.
-Congrats.
542
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:46,975
Judges, it's time
for our last baker, Hemu.
543
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:48,935
Cake Wall, spin!
544
00:28:50,437 --> 00:28:53,273
All right, judges,
coming around on the wall are four busts.
545
00:28:53,356 --> 00:28:57,694
Three are made of stone
and one is, yes, cake.
546
00:28:57,777 --> 00:29:02,157
Wow. This is like the Garden department
at Home Depot.
547
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,326
Your time starts now.
548
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,495
-Oh.
-They look so realistic.
549
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:09,789
There's no possible way to know.
Oh my gosh.
550
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:16,379
Two looks like a real statue,
which makes me think it's a cake.
551
00:29:16,463 --> 00:29:18,631
There's details on Number Three
in the face.
552
00:29:19,674 --> 00:29:22,427
-Maybe Three or--
-Four. I think-- Oh.
553
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:25,430
Five seconds. Lock in that answer.
554
00:29:25,513 --> 00:29:26,639
-I think Four.
-We got--
555
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:28,475
-Four! Four! Four!
-Four.
556
00:29:28,558 --> 00:29:30,393
-We all decided Four.
-Time's up.
557
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:31,519
-Time's up.
-Four!
558
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:33,062
-Time's up.
-Four.
559
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,069
You said Four.
560
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:42,781
-A couple times.
-I feel like I'm in a museum.
561
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:44,657
-I have no idea.
-None.
562
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:47,285
And I'm looking just like
when I'm in a museum.
563
00:29:47,368 --> 00:29:49,496
-And it's not getting easier.
-At all.
564
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:52,624
-But you guys are a united front on Four?
-Four. We--
565
00:29:52,707 --> 00:29:54,083
You feel good about--
566
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:55,710
-No.
-Not at all.
567
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:57,170
-You never do.
-No.
568
00:29:57,253 --> 00:29:59,923
Okay, Hemu, here we go.
569
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:06,805
If this bust is a real sculpture,
you could be up for $50,000.
570
00:30:06,888 --> 00:30:08,223
It's time to find out.
571
00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:09,808
You in danger, girl.
572
00:30:11,392 --> 00:30:12,936
Is it cake?
573
00:30:18,107 --> 00:30:20,193
-Oh yes.
-It was cake!
574
00:30:20,276 --> 00:30:22,195
-We got one right!
-We got one!
575
00:30:22,278 --> 00:30:25,281
-It's cake.
-I'm sorry! We got one right. Oh.
576
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:27,700
-No, Hemu.
577
00:30:27,784 --> 00:30:29,577
-Oh.
-I'm so sorry.
578
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:30,995
It makes me sad.
579
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,248
You have shown us
all your incredible skills,
580
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:36,084
but unfortunately you're out of the game.
581
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:40,964
But you're leaving here with $10,000, so…
582
00:30:42,048 --> 00:30:45,343
…that is something
you should be really proud of!
583
00:30:45,426 --> 00:30:48,888
-Yeah.
-You're immeasurably talented.
584
00:30:48,972 --> 00:30:51,975
Hemu, the judges would still
love to try your cake.
585
00:30:52,058 --> 00:30:53,142
Yes, we would.
586
00:30:53,226 --> 00:30:55,395
Tell them about the flavors of your cake.
587
00:30:55,478 --> 00:31:00,567
So, this is a moist vanilla cake
with coffee Swiss meringue buttercream
588
00:31:00,650 --> 00:31:04,362
with hazelnut crunch in it
and Biscoff brownie bits in it.
589
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:06,656
How do you get something
to look like a sculpture
590
00:31:06,739 --> 00:31:09,242
but then be as soft as a piece of cake?
Good job.
591
00:31:09,325 --> 00:31:12,203
-The layers are so perfectly…
-Defined.
592
00:31:12,287 --> 00:31:13,913
-That's the right word.
-Yeah.
593
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:15,874
-It's absolutely amazing.
-Thank you.
594
00:31:15,957 --> 00:31:17,542
Your texture is so good,
595
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:19,085
and then the vanilla,
596
00:31:19,168 --> 00:31:21,588
and it all comes as one good bite.
597
00:31:22,672 --> 00:31:25,133
-Kudos to you. This is amazing.
-Thank you.
598
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:29,137
Good job, Hemu. I'm going
to give you a hug because you crushed it.
599
00:31:29,971 --> 00:31:34,517
It was such a fun journey for me
working amongst the best
600
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:37,061
and making so many memories,
601
00:31:37,145 --> 00:31:38,730
and I'm grateful for that.
602
00:31:38,813 --> 00:31:41,941
April and Andrew,
while I wish everyone could win,
603
00:31:42,025 --> 00:31:44,068
unfortunately that's not possible,
604
00:31:44,152 --> 00:31:49,532
so the judges need some time
and privacy to make their decisions.
605
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:55,330
So, bakers and gallery, I need everyone
to head up to the cake wall.
606
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:56,748
This is not a drill.
607
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:58,416
-Up to the cake wall.
-Okay.
608
00:31:58,499 --> 00:32:02,587
That's right. Single file.
Stay together, class.
609
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:07,759
All right, Cake Wall,
take our bakers away.
610
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:09,928
-Plant your feet.
611
00:32:10,011 --> 00:32:10,929
Bye!
612
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:13,932
It's dangerous
when you're not ready for it.
613
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:16,684
We wasn't ready!
614
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:18,853
Wow.
615
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:24,817
Okay, judges,
616
00:32:24,901 --> 00:32:29,489
it's time for you to take a closer look
at the cakes and really inspect them.
617
00:32:29,572 --> 00:32:32,742
It comes down to the taste
and the details.
618
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:39,207
-Seeing this up close is intense.
-Wow. It really is.
619
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:43,169
-All the tiny details are fantastic.
-Extraordinary.
620
00:32:43,252 --> 00:32:47,173
-I'm impressed by these little details.
-I like this part. It faded right here.
621
00:32:47,256 --> 00:32:49,008
These knobs move.
Everything moves.
622
00:32:49,092 --> 00:32:52,720
Looks like you could turn this on
right now and it's gonna start working.
623
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:55,723
It's absolutely delicious.
624
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:59,686
Mm. Yep. It's like a s'more.
It tastes just like a s'more.
625
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:02,105
Okay, let's go over here.
626
00:33:02,188 --> 00:33:05,191
The look of the clothes on this,
first of all, just up close.
627
00:33:05,274 --> 00:33:07,402
This still looks like clothes to me.
628
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,862
It's sad that fake clothes
are nicer than my clothes.
629
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:13,658
-Cool.
630
00:33:13,741 --> 00:33:16,119
-That's amazing.
-It is. Oh my gosh.
631
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:19,664
Look at the buckle on this.
This looks like a real buckle.
632
00:33:19,747 --> 00:33:21,624
-That's talent.
-And the detail.
633
00:33:21,708 --> 00:33:25,003
The amount of detailing on this,
the fine stitching--
634
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:27,422
And the texture. The way it feels.
635
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:30,508
This is the pistachio side.
636
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:34,512
-Let's try this.
-That's the tiramisu side.
637
00:33:34,595 --> 00:33:38,307
The fact that you get two flavors of cake.
I mean, come on.
638
00:33:38,891 --> 00:33:42,270
-Mmm!
-That pistachio flavor is so good.
639
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:46,566
Judges, have you made up your mind
or do you need to discuss more?
640
00:33:46,649 --> 00:33:48,735
I think we need some time to discuss.
641
00:33:48,818 --> 00:33:50,028
Talk it over.
642
00:33:50,111 --> 00:33:52,697
Let's talk about design.
What are you more impressed with?
643
00:33:52,780 --> 00:33:53,948
This is hard to make.
644
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,159
The little tiny pieces on here,
645
00:33:56,242 --> 00:33:58,661
all the little pieces
that put this together,
646
00:33:58,745 --> 00:34:00,663
I think, look really impressive.
647
00:34:00,747 --> 00:34:03,541
There is details in that,
but look at the leather on this one.
648
00:34:03,624 --> 00:34:06,711
This is like a whole thing
that looks like distressed leather,
649
00:34:06,794 --> 00:34:08,838
and there is the same amount
of detail work,
650
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:13,176
because when you look at this buckle here,
this looks like an old-school buckle.
651
00:34:13,259 --> 00:34:14,677
Up close, this looks more real.
652
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:17,180
I disagree. I think, up close,
653
00:34:17,263 --> 00:34:19,724
this, to me, feels like
an old sewing machine.
654
00:34:19,807 --> 00:34:23,227
-This, to me, feels like a cake.
-Y'all not helping at all.
655
00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:27,607
They both have great stories.
They put their hearts into it, you know?
656
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:30,359
I think we got the best two,
really, at the end.
657
00:34:30,443 --> 00:34:32,236
This is a hard decision.
658
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,614
All right, judges,
please return to your podiums
659
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,991
and put the name of our winner
in the envelope.
660
00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:39,577
Big decision, judges.
661
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:40,787
I'm nervous.
662
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:45,708
-Decision made.
-Judges, we have our decision?
663
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:46,793
-We do.
-Yes.
664
00:34:46,876 --> 00:34:49,378
Okay. Let's bring back our bakers.
665
00:34:49,462 --> 00:34:51,798
Cake Wall, spin.
666
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:54,217
Bring us people.
667
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:57,804
There they are.
668
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:01,891
United in a group hug of solidarity.
669
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:08,147
April and Andrew, please join me.
670
00:35:08,231 --> 00:35:11,109
The rest of you, kindly head over there.
671
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:15,196
While you were gone, our judges
thoroughly examined your cakes.
672
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:19,784
They looked at all the details
and even took a few more bites.
673
00:35:20,326 --> 00:35:21,452
A few?
674
00:35:23,454 --> 00:35:25,540
-How are you guys feeling?
-Overwhelmed.
675
00:35:25,623 --> 00:35:26,666
That's a good word.
676
00:35:26,749 --> 00:35:28,042
-Overwhelmed.
-Yeah.
677
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:32,130
Bobby, do you have the envelope
that contains the winner?
678
00:35:32,213 --> 00:35:33,589
I do have it.
679
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:36,551
Be careful.
680
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:37,885
All right.
681
00:35:39,804 --> 00:35:40,805
Let's do this.
682
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:44,767
I wish all of you could be the champion,
683
00:35:44,851 --> 00:35:47,311
but there can only be one.
684
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:52,275
And the winner is…
685
00:36:03,703 --> 00:36:05,037
Andrew!
686
00:36:08,207 --> 00:36:09,709
Andrew, you did it!
687
00:36:10,751 --> 00:36:12,545
Congratulations.
688
00:36:13,212 --> 00:36:17,383
-You just won $50,000!
-Thank you guys so much.
689
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:19,844
That brings your total winnings
690
00:36:19,927 --> 00:36:23,055
in this competition to $80,000, dude.
691
00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:24,682
-Oh my God.
-Wow.
692
00:36:25,433 --> 00:36:26,559
How does it feel?
693
00:36:26,642 --> 00:36:28,561
I just-- Uh…
694
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:31,856
I've never come this far in something.
695
00:36:31,939 --> 00:36:34,942
I feel like I'm stepping into
the person that I'm supposed to be,
696
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:37,778
and it's just a cake show,
but this is huge for me.
697
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:39,447
I love every single one of you.
698
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:42,158
You knew you were gonna get tears,
and you got 'em.
699
00:36:42,241 --> 00:36:44,660
Thank you so much. I love you guys.
700
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:46,579
So proud of you, dude.
701
00:36:46,662 --> 00:36:48,748
And, April, nice job.
702
00:36:48,831 --> 00:36:53,711
I didn't win, but I know I can go home
and hold my head high,
703
00:36:53,794 --> 00:36:58,007
and I'm so, so excited
to tell Chris and Ava
704
00:36:58,090 --> 00:37:02,678
all about this crazy adventure
that Mom went on.
705
00:37:03,346 --> 00:37:05,556
-We have a trophy for you…
-Wow.
706
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,517
-…but one question remains.
-Oh no.
707
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:10,561
-No way.
-Is it cake?
708
00:37:10,645 --> 00:37:12,271
The throne's a cake, too.
709
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:13,314
Oh!
710
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:14,649
Oh!
711
00:37:14,732 --> 00:37:17,068
It's cake. Yes!
712
00:37:17,151 --> 00:37:21,530
Bakers and judges, everyone come up
and let's celebrate our new champion.
713
00:37:22,531 --> 00:37:24,992
I'm the champion of Is It Cake?
714
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:29,080
This is so much more to me
than just money.
715
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,374
I just feel so humbled by this experience,
716
00:37:31,457 --> 00:37:35,920
and I feel like I've proven that I don't
have to fit in with everybody else.
717
00:37:36,003 --> 00:37:39,048
You can still reach
for whatever weird, wild,
718
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:42,551
totally ridiculous dream you have,
and you can achieve that.
719
00:37:42,635 --> 00:37:44,679
This has been the ride of my life.
720
00:37:44,762 --> 00:37:47,640
I want to thank all our amazing bakers.
721
00:37:47,723 --> 00:37:50,268
I'm Mikey Day,
and there's only one thing left to do.
722
00:37:50,851 --> 00:37:53,562
Cake Wall, take us home!
723
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,363
Oh my God. It wasn't
designed for this many people!
