00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:10,260
[woman] Whoo!
3
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,848
[whooping]
4
00:00:14,931 --> 00:00:16,641
[Hemu] Looking good, Mikey!
5
00:00:20,562 --> 00:00:21,855
What's up? Sorry.
6
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:23,648
I was hungry.
7
00:00:23,732 --> 00:00:24,983
[laughing]
8
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:30,030
Name another baking show where the host
regularly eats money. I'll wait.
9
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:31,322
[all laughing]
10
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:34,659
Is my mouth now filled
with dry wafer paper?
11
00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:36,661
You bet.
12
00:00:36,745 --> 00:00:41,082
Andrew, you're our winner
from last time with your conch shell cake.
13
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:44,294
And you walked away with $5,000.
14
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:45,336
[whooping]
15
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:47,172
-Nice.
-Whoo. Thank you.
16
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:51,468
Unfortunately, you didn't find the cake
in our Cake or Cash round,
17
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:54,179
so that money rolled over again,
18
00:00:54,262 --> 00:01:00,435
which means this time
one of you could win up to $20,000.
19
00:01:00,518 --> 00:01:01,519
Wow.
20
00:01:01,603 --> 00:01:03,354
-Ooh!
-[whooping]
21
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:07,150
There are only two bakers
who haven't competed yet.
22
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:09,235
Our young Justin,
23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,697
who skipped his high school graduation
24
00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:14,282
-to be here.
-Yeah.
25
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:16,868
And Steve, who skipped
26
00:01:17,535 --> 00:01:19,329
whatever Steve does?
27
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:20,497
[laughing]
28
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:25,460
I don't know. Sit in a dark room
and watch television static?
29
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:26,586
[Steve chuckles]
30
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:30,048
-You're a mystery, Steve.
-Mm-hmm.
31
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:34,636
It's time to play Find That Cake.
32
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:43,853
The cake wall is about to spin around,
33
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:45,980
and you'll see six items you'd find…
34
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:49,776
in a grocery store.
35
00:01:50,401 --> 00:01:51,653
-Hey there!
-Okay.
36
00:01:51,736 --> 00:01:52,695
Oh boy.
37
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:56,491
Five of those items are real, and one is…
38
00:01:56,574 --> 00:01:57,408
Justin?
39
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:58,409
Cake?
40
00:01:58,493 --> 00:01:59,953
Correct, sir!
41
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:02,455
No wonder you graduated high school, man.
42
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,792
Cake Wall, spin, please.
43
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:07,585
[whooping, cheering]
44
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:09,754
All right, you know the game.
45
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:14,092
You have 20 seconds
to lock in your answers on your keypads.
46
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:17,929
Remember, if you're the fastest,
you get to pick first.
47
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:22,725
Your time starts now!
48
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:23,893
[tense music playing]
49
00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:38,241
[Mikey] Ten seconds.
50
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:39,659
[Andrew shivers]
51
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,165
[Mikey] Lock in those answers.
52
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,085
Five, four,
53
00:02:50,044 --> 00:02:54,966
three, two, one.
54
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:56,634
-Time's up!
-[bell dinging]
55
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:03,516
Let's see who found the cake.
56
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:04,934
Andrew!
57
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:05,852
Yeah?
58
00:03:05,935 --> 00:03:07,187
You picked the steak.
59
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:09,981
-I did.
-[Nina] Are you hungry?
60
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:12,817
-[laughing]
-No. I'm a vegetarian.
61
00:03:12,901 --> 00:03:15,111
-He's a vegetarian!
-Yeah!
62
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:19,199
What's the tell here, Andrew?
What makes you think this is cake?
63
00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:23,453
Well, I specialize in human hearts
wrapped in plastic.
64
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:25,371
[music warps]
65
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,623
Excuse me?
66
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:27,916
[laughing]
67
00:03:27,999 --> 00:03:28,958
For Valentine's Day.
68
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:30,668
For Valentine's Day?!
69
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:33,129
Yeah. Customized labels and everything.
70
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,381
You are the master of the macabre, huh?
71
00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:36,507
I love it.
72
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:39,385
Let's find out. I'm forced to say this.
73
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:42,013
Is it cake? Or is it steak?
74
00:03:42,096 --> 00:03:43,431
[tense music playing]
75
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:50,438
-That's steak.
-Ugh.
76
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:54,067
[Mikey] Justin and Steve.
77
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,069
The new kids.
78
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:58,488
You both picked the eggs.
79
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:00,907
Tell me why.
80
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:04,035
Some of the letters and numbers
don't look quite even.
81
00:04:04,118 --> 00:04:05,328
Interesting.
82
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:08,206
I agree with what he's saying.
The "Large" looks a little weird.
83
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,124
The rest looked real to me,
so I chose One.
84
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,503
Okay. Let's find out
if both of you are right.
85
00:04:15,171 --> 00:04:16,005
Is it cake?
86
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:18,216
[tense music playing]
87
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:22,220
-[Mikey] Oh ho ho!
-[cheering]
88
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:23,888
Nice job.
89
00:04:23,972 --> 00:04:26,182
-[Mikey] That's cake.
-[applause]
90
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:31,562
Well, much like Harry Potter,
it is the golden chosen child.
91
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:33,356
-Justin!
-[cheering]
92
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,150
You found the cake the fastest.
93
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,403
And you get first pick.
94
00:04:38,903 --> 00:04:42,615
Bakers, it's time to play Is It Cake?
95
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:44,951
[applause, whooping]
96
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:48,997
Okay, bakers, you know how this works.
97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,249
Each of you is going to choose
98
00:04:51,332 --> 00:04:54,502
one of these grocery items
to make into a cake.
99
00:04:54,585 --> 00:04:57,964
Justin, you found the cake the fastest.
What's it going to be?
100
00:04:58,047 --> 00:04:59,507
I'ma choose the steak.
101
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:03,011
-[Mikey] Steak.
-[Justin] Yes.
102
00:05:03,594 --> 00:05:04,429
And why?
103
00:05:04,512 --> 00:05:07,056
I feel like, well, steak,
the marbling doesn't have to be exact,
104
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,891
so it doesn't have to be a replica.
105
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:12,812
And, um, I just think it's interesting.
Like, the plastic… It could be fun.
106
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:15,773
-Awesome. Andrew, are you upset by that?
-Yeah, I'm sorry.
107
00:05:15,857 --> 00:05:20,069
Yeah, totally. Totally. But I can't wait
to see if he does it better than I would.
108
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:23,197
-Wow.
-And I think he's got a shot.
109
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,950
-Steve, you came in second.
-Yeah.
110
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:28,077
-What do you choose?
-I'll choose the produce.
111
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:31,080
-[Andrew] Oh man! That's the other one--
-Oh!
112
00:05:31,956 --> 00:05:34,500
-That's so Steve.
-I wanted that one, too.
113
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,837
Now, I see the Steve smile.
You're confident.
114
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:42,258
I've done things like that before,
and I think I can fool the judges.
115
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:45,553
And, lastly, Andrew, what'll it be?
116
00:05:45,636 --> 00:05:47,680
I'm gonna go with the challah bread.
117
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:51,559
I just think out of what's remaining,
it's the most interesting.
118
00:05:51,642 --> 00:05:53,978
I like things
that have a lot of texture, so…
119
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:58,441
I can kind of see, as I'm learning
a little bit about what you guys do,
120
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,985
it's got some shine to it.
121
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:03,112
Maybe you'll use, um,
122
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,240
-some edible lacquer on there.
-[laughing]
123
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:11,204
[Mikey] Now, head over to the kitchen
and slip into that apron.
124
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:14,624
Tick-tock.
125
00:06:14,707 --> 00:06:18,002
You only have eight hours to do this.
126
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:20,213
Ready? It's time to bake!
127
00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:21,589
[applause]
128
00:06:21,672 --> 00:06:23,466
[upbeat music playing]
129
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:31,224
-This is your first competition?
-[Justin] My first cake competition.
130
00:06:31,307 --> 00:06:33,309
I'm trying to stay focused, you know?
131
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,687
'Cause I don't wanna distract myself
or make myself more nervous.
132
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:39,399
That's the thing about you.
You're smart. You're here for a reason.
133
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:42,777
Justin's like a-- like a 30-year-old
in an 18-year-old body.
134
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:47,073
Yeah. I mean, I'm literally like
a six-year-old that's just old as dirt.
135
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:51,953
I'm 18, and I started my business
Everything Just Baked when I was 16.
136
00:06:52,036 --> 00:06:55,957
I create 15 to 20 custom cakes a week
for my business.
137
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,209
I'm making about five figures out of cake,
138
00:06:58,292 --> 00:07:00,753
and I'm still going to school,
so it's a lot, but…
139
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:03,673
I'm just skilled. What can I say? [laughs]
140
00:07:06,717 --> 00:07:09,387
I used to bake a lot
with my mom and my grandma.
141
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,764
Homemade cookies, breads, pies.
142
00:07:11,848 --> 00:07:14,517
And I just found my love for it.
And here I am now.
143
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:17,520
I've made a steak cake before,
144
00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:19,939
but I've never made
the cellophane wrapping.
145
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:22,233
But I-- I have an idea
of how I wanna do it, for sure.
146
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:26,320
-Steve, will you make my wedding cake?
-Sure.
147
00:07:26,404 --> 00:07:28,197
Well, I guess I won't!
148
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:30,533
I didn't think the groom
wanted to make the cake.
149
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:31,701
[laughs]
150
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:32,702
Nice save.
151
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:36,247
Over in the gallery,
it's an episode of Jonny and His Ladies.
152
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:38,040
[laughing]
153
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:40,960
Who do you think
has the most difficult item?
154
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:42,170
-Steve.
-Steve.
155
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:44,964
[Hemu] He's got
three different items to make.
156
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:47,884
Yeah. If two items look real,
but one doesn't…
157
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:50,261
-The whole thing is off.
-It's all done.
158
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:52,221
Are you still glad
you stuck with your strategy
159
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,724
of "I'm gonna give Andrew
something easier"?
160
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:58,644
Well, ultimately, your easy choice
should have been the toilet paper, but…
161
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,229
[laughs]
162
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,608
I picked produce,
one of the hardest items to do.
163
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:06,694
There's different color schemes,
different sizes.
164
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:09,280
I wanna make a dense cake
because I want the ultimate shape
165
00:08:09,363 --> 00:08:11,782
that I create for my vegetables
to stay that way.
166
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:15,244
If I make a spongier cake,
it'll cause it to sag a bit.
167
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:16,537
And I don't want that.
168
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:20,458
I'm nervous about Steve's flavors.
What is it, again?
169
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:24,879
[Steve] Almond cake, with almond paste,
and then a milk chocolate orange ganache.
170
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:27,965
-You put the almond paste in the batter?
-Yeah.
171
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:31,302
Yeah, paste in the batter. Old school.
Almost like an almond pound cake.
172
00:08:31,385 --> 00:08:33,429
-You're an old fashioned kinda guy.
-Yeah.
173
00:08:34,096 --> 00:08:36,807
Andrew! What is the flavor of your cake?
174
00:08:36,891 --> 00:08:40,603
[Andrew] I'm doing a donut cake
with a maple pecan buttercream.
175
00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:42,021
Ooh!
176
00:08:42,104 --> 00:08:44,482
-Not spicy this time. Okay.
-[Andrew] No spicy.
177
00:08:44,565 --> 00:08:47,401
I want this to look most like
a loaf of challah bread.
178
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:50,947
You gotta make sure that you're not
making it too tall or too wide.
179
00:08:51,447 --> 00:08:54,283
The best route to go
to achieve that bubble braid
180
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,701
on top of my challah bread
181
00:08:55,785 --> 00:08:58,037
is to use what I call cake clay.
182
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,791
Cake clay is the same thing as cake pop.
I just like to call it cake clay.
183
00:09:01,874 --> 00:09:04,418
It's cake mixed with ganache
or buttercream.
184
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,338
And it's a great medium,
because it really does work like clay.
185
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:09,257
[Mikey] Andrew's kind of a loose cannon.
186
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:12,426
Meanwhile, Steve's quietly assembling
his produce.
187
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,845
The silent assassin.
Who knows what he's thinking?
188
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,683
[woman] Are you a silent assassin?
189
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:20,977
Am I a silent assassin?
190
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,104
[suspenseful music playing]
191
00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:27,775
If Mikey thinks I'm a silent assassin,
I think I'm going to keep playing it.
192
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,529
I've been doing hyper-realistic cakes
for over 20 years.
193
00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:35,241
I have a lot of skill
and a lot of competitions under my belt,
194
00:09:35,324 --> 00:09:36,826
more so than anybody here.
195
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:39,745
I'm an Associate Dean
at a community college in West Virginia.
196
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,289
I teach Culinary Arts.
197
00:09:41,372 --> 00:09:43,416
I teach students that are Justin's age.
198
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:47,086
He's been a pastry chef
twice as long as Justin's been alive.
199
00:09:47,169 --> 00:09:48,170
[giggling]
200
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:51,215
Hey, Justin!
Is that buttercream you're making?
201
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:53,092
Yes, I'm making the peanut butter filling.
202
00:09:53,175 --> 00:09:55,511
I just make the buttercream
and add peanut butter.
203
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:58,681
-Sounds good.
-Peanut Butter Jelly Time.
204
00:09:58,764 --> 00:10:01,475
[Justin] I'll do chocolate cake
with dark chocolate ganache,
205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,811
and peanut butter filling
and crushed peanuts.
206
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:05,813
-Chocolate peanut butter?
-Yeah.
207
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:07,690
-Definitely a classic.
-Yeah.
208
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:10,901
[Andrew] Anybody who doesn't like
a peanut butter cup is dead to me.
209
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:14,447
[Justin] So I'm gonna make steak,
plastic wrap, and a Styrofoam tray.
210
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:18,117
One of the most important things
to focus on is getting the plastic wrap,
211
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,869
'cause the wrap has to be perfect.
212
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,371
I'm just going to mix together
gelatin and water.
213
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:25,875
Because the gelatin has a yellow hue,
you gotta use the purple violet.
214
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,293
And it makes it clear.
215
00:10:27,376 --> 00:10:31,672
It's difficult 'cause it takes time to dry
so I really won't know until the end.
216
00:10:31,756 --> 00:10:33,883
I think I'll be okay.
Hopefully. Let's pray.
217
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:36,927
I've never done it before.
So, a little nervous.
218
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:38,763
Andrew, he's… Second time, right?
219
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:41,766
-Yeah, this is my second.
-Yeah, I'm worried about Andrew.
220
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:45,519
My gosh. That's the first time you've
ever said you were worried about me.
221
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:48,147
Without saying,
"I'm worried about Andrew."
222
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:51,734
I just came off of a win.
I've just won $5,000.
223
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:55,529
And I think winning twice in a row,
and being the first one to do that,
224
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:58,032
is a way to solidify my name in this game.
225
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,576
But I've got
some tough competition up against me.
226
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,120
Or, at least I think so.
Let's see what they got.
227
00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:06,165
So this is the challenge.
Youth versus experience.
228
00:11:06,248 --> 00:11:08,000
-[Jonny] Yeah.
-Versus Halloween!
229
00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:09,168
[clanging]
230
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:10,169
[chuckles]
231
00:11:10,252 --> 00:11:12,546
I should be a hibachi grill person.
232
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,215
[funky music playing]
233
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:19,553
-Hi, Andrew!
-[Andrew] Ah!
234
00:11:19,637 --> 00:11:20,930
[laughs]
235
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:22,306
Like my new look?
236
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:23,557
Yeah, I want them.
237
00:11:23,641 --> 00:11:24,767
Who wore it better?
238
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:26,268
-[laughing]
-[Hemu] Yeah, right.
239
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:33,109
All right, bakers. I have some items
that might be of interest to you.
240
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,361
Andrew, challah loaves.
241
00:11:35,444 --> 00:11:37,738
Justin, steaks.
242
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:42,201
And Steve,
vegetables from the planet from Avatar.
243
00:11:42,284 --> 00:11:43,619
[laughing]
244
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:47,415
[Jonny] It looks like we're
watching people grocery shop.
245
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:48,708
[Sam, Mikey] Yeah.
246
00:11:49,291 --> 00:11:52,336
"I'll take this. I'll need some of this."
247
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:54,088
"Hmm, maybe some of this, too."
248
00:11:54,171 --> 00:11:55,506
[laughing]
249
00:11:56,424 --> 00:12:00,553
[Andrew] I need to think of a way
to up the "wow" factor.
250
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:03,723
So, I'm putting one of these loaves
in edible cellophane.
251
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:06,892
I don't anticipate your average judge
252
00:12:06,976 --> 00:12:10,146
to think that someone could
make something edible
253
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:12,231
that looks like a sheet of plastic.
254
00:12:12,314 --> 00:12:13,482
How's your gelatin look?
255
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,651
[Andrew] I put glycerin in mine.
256
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:18,195
-So you have flexibility?
-Gives it flexibility.
257
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,740
-It could snap, right, if you bend it?
-Yes.
258
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,828
Edible cellophane is something
that I have become quite skilled at.
259
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:28,748
It's definitely an art form
that is not easy to pull off.
260
00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:31,459
The good thing is that
if it doesn't work out-- Unlike Justin's,
261
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:34,503
if my plastic doesn't work out,
then I can just scrap it.
262
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:38,549
I don't know. I feel you guys have good
technical things that you can show off.
263
00:12:38,632 --> 00:12:40,801
[Justin] If you pull it off,
it'll be really cool.
264
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:42,178
Yeah, hopefully.
265
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:45,514
[Justin] My cellophane's not looking 100%.
266
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:47,391
Even watching Andrew, it looks so easy.
267
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:49,643
Like, they have a secret
I don't know about.
268
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:53,647
When the show's over, I'll give you tips
on how to make good cellophane.
269
00:12:53,731 --> 00:12:57,026
This is Justin's first time
doing edible cellophane.
270
00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:59,862
I almost want to,
like, offer him some of what I have.
271
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:01,781
But it's a competition, so I'm not gonna.
272
00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:03,407
Or! When this episode's over,
273
00:13:03,491 --> 00:13:06,619
you can give me tips
on how you made the good cellophane.
274
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:10,247
Bakers! Six hours remaining.
275
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:11,791
[upbeat music playing]
276
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,710
[Mikey] I hate the side ones.
277
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:16,337
-[laughing]
-[Mikey exhales]
278
00:13:27,097 --> 00:13:28,307
It's all about structure.
279
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:32,436
I'm very jealous of both of your choices.
280
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,854
As soon as I saw them I'm like,
281
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:36,232
"This is the perfect challenge!
I can't wait!"
282
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:38,400
And then you took them from me.
And that's fine.
283
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:40,486
Well, it's the name of the game.
284
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:44,114
I'm gonna try to make my horned melon
as similar to the decoys as possible.
285
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:46,951
Silicone molds help to give you texture.
286
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:50,454
And it helps to create that fake exterior
287
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:52,122
that fools everybody.
288
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:56,710
I'm hoping I can get some of the nuances
of this melon to come out in this mold.
289
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:58,212
I wanna see how this works.
290
00:13:58,295 --> 00:14:01,465
If it works, I'll use it.
If not, I'll have to sculpt it by hand.
291
00:14:01,549 --> 00:14:04,552
So, you're not interested
in doing things hand-sculpted?
292
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:07,930
-Well, I-- Well, I can.
-[laughing]
293
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:10,891
I can, but I wanna try to make it
as easy as I can.
294
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:14,854
I'm making this horned melon,
pouring chocolate into the mold.
295
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:18,190
I invert it and dump
whatever chocolate comes out of it,
296
00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:21,569
leaving a very thin coat
of chocolate in the mold.
297
00:14:21,652 --> 00:14:24,822
I want it to hold the cake pop
that I'm going to be piping in.
298
00:14:24,905 --> 00:14:27,741
My motto always is,
"Work smarter not harder."
299
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:28,951
[laughs]
300
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:33,372
I'm mixing together all my leftover scraps
to make like a cake pop.
301
00:14:33,455 --> 00:14:38,210
And I'm going to insert that filling
into the cavity of the chocolate melon.
302
00:14:38,294 --> 00:14:41,046
The thorns that are on it
are going to be make or break.
303
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:42,965
[energetic music playing]
304
00:14:52,641 --> 00:14:54,018
[Mikey] All right, bakers.
305
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:56,186
You've got four hours left.
306
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:58,731
[groans]
307
00:14:58,814 --> 00:15:01,317
[hesitates] I'm just having a moment, man.
308
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:04,570
Having some trouble?
309
00:15:04,653 --> 00:15:06,864
-[Andrew] Not going well.
-[Steve] It looks good.
310
00:15:06,947 --> 00:15:08,657
[Andrew chuckles] It looks awful.
311
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:09,658
I'm so disappointed.
312
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:13,287
The coloring is not working out
the way that I had planned on.
313
00:15:13,370 --> 00:15:15,414
You would think that brown is brown.
314
00:15:15,497 --> 00:15:16,916
But when it comes to cake,
315
00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:19,752
to give it the aliveness
or the fresh-baked look,
316
00:15:19,835 --> 00:15:23,797
you have to have the right shade of brown.
I don't think it's gonna fool the judges.
317
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:27,551
So, I am peeling everything off
and starting from scratch on this loaf.
318
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:30,679
There's not a lot of time left,
and it's risky to go back to this,
319
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:33,599
but I don't wanna present
something that I'm not happy with.
320
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,601
I'm planning on taking a blow torch
321
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:39,104
until it forms
a nice hard, brownish shell.
322
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,649
I need some of your cool cucumber vibe.
323
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:42,650
[Steve chuckles]
324
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:44,944
-Here you go. You can channel it.
-Thank you. I like that.
325
00:15:45,027 --> 00:15:48,989
All right, bakers. Three hours!
You got about three hours left.
326
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:51,575
[upbeat music playing]
327
00:15:57,706 --> 00:16:00,125
Steve, I don't really appreciate
how calm you're being.
328
00:16:01,877 --> 00:16:06,423
I'm hand-painting the steak cake,
leaving some of the base color on there,
329
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:08,133
just so that can represent the fat.
330
00:16:08,217 --> 00:16:10,135
For the sides of the steak cake,
331
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:13,555
I wanna have some part of it actual meat,
and then some part of it fat.
332
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,766
So, I used some plastic wrap
and crumpled it up,
333
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:17,309
and I imprint the cake with that.
334
00:16:17,393 --> 00:16:19,103
Just anything to give it more texture.
335
00:16:19,186 --> 00:16:21,480
[April] Is that modeling chocolate
or fondant?
336
00:16:21,563 --> 00:16:23,232
-[Justin] Modeling chocolate.
-Okay.
337
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:28,779
For my cauliflower cake,
I am rolling out white modeling chocolate
338
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:31,448
and taking my textured cauliflower mold,
339
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:34,451
and I'm pressing it
into the top of the cauliflower.
340
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:38,497
Pressing the stamp
into the modeling chocolate,
341
00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:40,624
it's looking really good,
exactly like cauliflower.
342
00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:43,293
From 15 feet away,
it doesn't look too bad.
343
00:16:43,377 --> 00:16:44,712
I think it looks good here.
344
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:48,173
[Mikey] Bakers! Just over one hour!
345
00:16:48,257 --> 00:16:49,758
[tense music plays]
346
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:50,718
Uh-oh.
347
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:53,929
I'm dreading the sound!
348
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,764
It's wobbling.
349
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,977
-[Jonny] Looks a little wonky, Mikey.
-It looks a little wonky.
350
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:02,396
-I agree.
-[Jonny] The tiltscape is off.
351
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:03,731
-[laughing]
-[Mikey] Yeah.
352
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:06,358
[mock anger] The tiltscape is off, Steve!
353
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:07,985
[gallery laughing]
354
00:17:09,778 --> 00:17:12,823
[Hemu] If he can put more shine to it,
355
00:17:12,906 --> 00:17:16,118
he can absolutely fool the judges.
356
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:17,411
-Yeah.
-[Nina] Yeah.
357
00:17:17,494 --> 00:17:19,705
The hardest part
about getting a bread texture
358
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:22,458
is that it has, like, its own crust to it.
359
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:25,961
It has flakiness and tears and shine,
360
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:27,421
and that's not really something
361
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:30,466
that you can just
easily manipulate sugar to look like.
362
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:33,635
And I'm starting to worry,
am I gonna be able to pull this off?
363
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:37,222
Or am I gonna run out of time and not
be happy with the finished product?
364
00:17:39,683 --> 00:17:41,977
[Mikey] Thirty minutes, bakers!
365
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,228
Thirty minutes--
366
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:44,605
-No!
-[screaming]
367
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,608
-[whooping]
-[laughing]
368
00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:51,445
-[Dessiree] Oh my God.
-Getting a good laugh, gallery?
369
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:52,362
[Hemu] Yes.
370
00:17:55,365 --> 00:17:58,660
-[Sam] Justin looks a little stressed.
-I hope he pulls it together.
371
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:02,081
[Justin] Check on my cellophane.
Some of it I like, some of it I don't.
372
00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:04,917
As I'm pulling, I'm noticing
it's almost sticking to itself,
373
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,293
so it's creating some wrinkles.
374
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:09,463
And it's my first time,
and I'm gonna make do with what I have.
375
00:18:10,964 --> 00:18:13,759
Five minutes, bakers! This is it!
376
00:18:13,842 --> 00:18:17,429
Mikey calling me the silent assassin
is probably not far from the truth.
377
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:22,017
I made cake look exactly like produce.
How many people can say that?
378
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:24,436
[intense music playing]
379
00:18:29,858 --> 00:18:31,401
Time's up, bakers!
380
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,654
[applause]
381
00:18:34,696 --> 00:18:36,824
[Mikey] Get your decoys ready!
382
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,910
I look forward to seeing
what you guys put together.
383
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,293
Andrew, Justin, Steve.
384
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:51,713
You've put in hours of work
to make your cakes perfect,
385
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:55,801
but only one of you
could win up to $20,000.
386
00:18:57,052 --> 00:19:01,473
But first, you must fool our judges.
387
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:04,643
Comedian, actor, and social media star,
388
00:19:04,726 --> 00:19:08,814
you know her as Average Fashion Blogger,
Courtney Parchman!
389
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,191
[applause, whooping]
390
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:13,986
Courtney, uh, you have some fanboys here.
391
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:15,737
-Do I?
-[laughing]
392
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:17,281
-Yeah, big fan.
-Oh my God.
393
00:19:17,364 --> 00:19:20,701
I only hope to be a fraction
of the TikTok sensation you are.
394
00:19:20,784 --> 00:19:21,952
Same, same.
395
00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:23,078
That is so sweet.
396
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,416
I'm waiting for my part!
Somebody better say something.
397
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,418
[Mikey] All right. Here you go.
398
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,462
Actor, comedian, and author,
Finesse Mitchell.
399
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:34,256
[applause, whooping]
400
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:39,511
Oh my gosh. Mother Teresa
could be out here, but no, it's Fin--
401
00:19:39,595 --> 00:19:42,723
-I cannot believe that!
-Thank you! Thank you!
402
00:19:42,806 --> 00:19:46,059
-I can't believe it! I'm such a huge fan--
-Thank you. You've done enough.
403
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:51,190
And food writer and Senior Editor
of Eater, Farley Elliott.
404
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,150
[applause, whooping]
405
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:54,860
Farley hive, rise up!
406
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,403
Farley fanboys!
407
00:19:56,486 --> 00:19:58,113
That's right, that's right.
408
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,656
Sir, please.
409
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:00,699
[squeals]
410
00:20:00,782 --> 00:20:03,702
See? Thank you! Thank you.
411
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,788
Judges, here's how this works.
412
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,834
The cake wall is going to spin around
to reveal five cake stands,
413
00:20:10,918 --> 00:20:15,714
each holding something
that you would see at a grocery store.
414
00:20:15,797 --> 00:20:19,509
But only one of those stands
is holding a cake.
415
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:22,930
The three of you have 20 seconds
to agree on one answer
416
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:25,933
and enter it on the keypad
in front of Finesse.
417
00:20:26,016 --> 00:20:27,935
Do you guys think you can do this?
418
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:28,852
Yes.
419
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:30,312
Are you familiar with cake?
420
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,773
-I've heard of it.
-I don't think it'll be easy.
421
00:20:32,856 --> 00:20:37,527
All right. Our first baker up is Justin.
422
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:40,697
Cake Wall, spin around for me, please.
423
00:20:40,781 --> 00:20:43,242
[tense music playing]
424
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:49,289
Okay, judges, on the other side
of that wall are five steaks,
425
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:52,125
but one of them is cake.
426
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:53,126
Good luck.
427
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:56,338
Your time starts now!
428
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:58,924
[Finesse] Man! Okay.
429
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:02,511
I mean, One looks too tall,
like, it looks too sturdy.
430
00:21:02,594 --> 00:21:05,305
I think that's gotta be real.
What do you think?
431
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:07,015
-[Finesse] Two!
-[Farley] Oh wow.
432
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,810
-I believe that Two is right.
-[Finesse] I'm thinkin' Three.
433
00:21:09,893 --> 00:21:12,646
-[Courtney] That's a rib eye.
-Three seems…
434
00:21:12,729 --> 00:21:14,481
-Gosh.
-[Mikey] Ten seconds.
435
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:17,401
-[Finesse] Three looks perfect.
-[Farley] That's why it's cake?
436
00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:19,361
[Courtney] It's Four.
437
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:22,155
[Finesse] Courtney can't really see.
She's looking up.
438
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:25,117
[Mikey] Five, four…
-I'm trying to get an angle from above.
439
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:26,952
-…three…
-I think it's One.
440
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,787
-[Mikey] …two, one.
-[Farley] Two.
441
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:30,497
-I say Two.
-Lock it in!
442
00:21:30,580 --> 00:21:31,957
[bell dinging]
443
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,128
[Mikey] Let's see if you guys were right.
444
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:38,755
-You locked in Two?
-[Finesse] We locked in Two.
445
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,758
-[Mikey] How are we feeling?
-The fat strip on it looks great.
446
00:21:41,842 --> 00:21:44,845
Is that the, uh, technical term, Farley?
Fat strip?
447
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:47,097
Yeah. Yeah, a lot of marbling.
448
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:49,016
-Yeah.
-A lot of intramuscular fat.
449
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,435
All right.
Let's see if you guys were right.
450
00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:54,479
-Come on, Two.
-Let's see if this is cake.
451
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,690
[Mikey clears throat]
452
00:21:56,773 --> 00:21:59,401
-[tense music playing]
-[gasps]
453
00:22:00,402 --> 00:22:02,362
-[Courtney] Wow! Wait.
-Ew. That's meat.
454
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:05,157
-[judges groaning]
-Oh wow. That's a tender steak.
455
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,199
Wow.
456
00:22:06,283 --> 00:22:07,242
[applause, cheering]
457
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:10,078
[Mikey] You guys picked Number Two,
and that is not cake.
458
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,164
Meaning, Justin, you did it, buddy.
459
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:15,459
You fooled the judges.
You are up for the win today.
460
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,713
You guys also think it could be what?
461
00:22:19,796 --> 00:22:22,841
One and Three.
I'm gonna go ahead and let Courtney…
462
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:24,885
Okay, yeah. I think it might be One.
463
00:22:24,968 --> 00:22:28,263
And at first I didn't think so
'cause it's a crazy color of red.
464
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:31,224
And I am seeing a red
spot on the Styrofoam.
465
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:32,434
-[Finesse] Oh!
-Yeah.
466
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:34,728
Mikey! This is a totally different angle.
467
00:22:34,811 --> 00:22:36,355
-Yes, it is!
-[laughing]
468
00:22:36,438 --> 00:22:39,316
Farley, would you say
that's a specific type of steak?
469
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:41,610
-Usually when they're dark red--
-This guy.
470
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:43,987
-You asked for the dissertation!
-I'm using my resources.
471
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,823
-All right.
-It might be a Wagyu or something.
472
00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:50,452
-[laughs]
-Is it cake? Or, is it Wagyu? Let's see.
473
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:51,870
-It's a cake.
-Yeah.
474
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:56,249
Ooh.
475
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,584
-[Finesse] Oh…
-Hold on.
476
00:22:58,168 --> 00:22:59,711
[Courtney] You made Wagyu steak.
477
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:00,796
Wow.
478
00:23:00,879 --> 00:23:03,882
[Mikey] Great job, Justin!
You're up for the win today.
479
00:23:03,965 --> 00:23:05,509
-[whooping]
-[Courtney] Wow.
480
00:23:05,592 --> 00:23:06,510
That looks like cake.
481
00:23:06,593 --> 00:23:09,262
I never considered
that the whole container
482
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:10,347
would be cake.
483
00:23:10,430 --> 00:23:11,515
Thank you.
484
00:23:11,598 --> 00:23:17,729
The golden child has succeeded!
485
00:23:19,314 --> 00:23:21,858
It's time for our next baker, Steve.
486
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:24,653
Very quiet, but very calculating.
487
00:23:25,153 --> 00:23:28,323
Cake Wall, spin for us.
488
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:31,410
Judges, you're about to see
five cake stands
489
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:33,370
with a selection of produce items.
490
00:23:33,453 --> 00:23:36,289
On one of those stands,
everything is cake.
491
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:41,837
You must find that one and bring it to me.
492
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:45,882
And your time starts now!
493
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:46,800
[Farley laughs]
494
00:23:46,883 --> 00:23:48,969
[Finesse] I hate vegetables.
I'm not gonna be any help.
495
00:23:49,052 --> 00:23:51,054
[Farley] Oh, wow. What do you think?
496
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:53,557
-One is tricky.
-[Courtney] One with the color change.
497
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,810
-[Farley] The asparagus in Two is too big.
-[Finesse] I think Three.
498
00:23:56,893 --> 00:24:00,188
I've been to a lot of grocery stores.
The asparagus, that is real.
499
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:01,398
[Mikey] Ten seconds!
500
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:04,484
-[Finesse] Four is fake.
-[Farley] Four is fake? No way.
501
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:08,321
-[Mikey] Five seconds, judges.
-Five is definitely real.
502
00:24:08,405 --> 00:24:10,657
-[Mikey] Four, three…
-[Finesse] I'm going with Two.
503
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:12,075
-[Courtney] Yeah.
-[Farley] Two?
504
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:13,076
[Mikey] One.
505
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,369
-Time's up!
-[bell dinging]
506
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,037
[whooping]
507
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:18,623
[Mikey] Whoo! What'd we end up going with?
508
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:20,750
[Finesse] Going with Two, Mikey.
509
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:24,254
-Whatever the porcupine bread is, it's--
-[Courtney laughs]
510
00:24:24,337 --> 00:24:25,464
That's a horned melon.
511
00:24:25,547 --> 00:24:27,466
A horned melon. Well, I tell you what.
512
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:30,760
You find that in the Black grocery store,
I'll give you $100,000.
513
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:32,262
[laughing]
514
00:24:32,345 --> 00:24:34,431
[Mikey] Judges, well,
let's see if you're right.
515
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:36,808
You guys were all in agreement this time.
516
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:39,603
-You guys all are confident about Two?
-No.
517
00:24:39,686 --> 00:24:42,355
Let's not go so far as to say confident.
But yes.
518
00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:44,149
Let's see if you're right.
519
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:47,777
Is this stuff cake?
520
00:24:47,861 --> 00:24:49,404
[tense music playing]
521
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:54,701
-[Courtney] No.
-[judges groaning]
522
00:24:54,784 --> 00:24:56,703
[Mikey] No. I'm sorry, guys.
523
00:24:56,786 --> 00:24:59,664
-[Farley] Wow.
-Why do you guys keep picking Two?
524
00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:00,916
Not cake!
525
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:01,875
Great job, Steve.
526
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:03,668
[Mikey] You fooled the judges.
527
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:06,254
You're up for the win. Congrats.
528
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:09,508
This all went according to Steve's plan.
529
00:25:09,591 --> 00:25:11,134
[applause, whooping]
530
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:13,261
Are there any other choices?
531
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:14,179
-Yeah.
-Five.
532
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:17,933
You know, I went to a few grocery stores.
And I've been to--
533
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,809
-[mock surprise] You have?
-Yeah--
534
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:21,436
The purple cauliflower.
535
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,647
I'm looking at it,
and it's looking like a cake.
536
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:24,564
All right.
537
00:25:25,065 --> 00:25:28,068
Let's see if this is indeed cake.
538
00:25:28,151 --> 00:25:29,945
[tense music playing]
539
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:32,197
Ooh.
540
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,449
It's feeling interesting to me.
541
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:37,994
[cheering]
542
00:25:38,078 --> 00:25:39,162
[Jonny] Cake!
543
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:43,542
That looks like cake to me, folks.
Right? Look at that. Gallery?
544
00:25:46,461 --> 00:25:49,047
Let's see what this asparagus
is all about, huh?
545
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:50,549
I see cake in there.
546
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:52,717
[crunching]
547
00:25:52,801 --> 00:25:55,303
-[Mikey] Ooh. And that's cake, too.
-[Courtney] Oh wow.
548
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:57,847
Steve, that means
you are up for the win today.
549
00:25:57,931 --> 00:25:59,933
-Congrats, my man.
-Yay!
550
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:03,979
All right, judges,
you have been fooled twice.
551
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:06,731
If you don't count getting it right,
we're doing a great job.
552
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:07,899
That's right.
553
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:12,320
Our last baker is Andrew,
the reigning champion!
554
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:13,905
[applause]
555
00:26:13,989 --> 00:26:18,285
Defending his crown,
he made two loaves of challah bread.
556
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:21,246
Cake Wall, bring us your loaves.
557
00:26:21,913 --> 00:26:26,042
You're going to see five cake stands
with loaves of challah bread.
558
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:29,462
One of those stands is holding only cake.
559
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:32,173
-It is up to you to find it.
-[Courtney groans]
560
00:26:32,757 --> 00:26:33,675
Ooh.
561
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:37,512
Have fun! And your time starts now!
562
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:41,266
[Farley] They don't all have cellophane.
That feels like a big differentiator.
563
00:26:41,349 --> 00:26:44,269
I don't think it's One,
'cause they wouldn't hide it in the bag.
564
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:47,856
-[Courtney] If it's Two, you're crazy.
-[Mikey] Ten seconds.
565
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,192
-[Finesse] I'm thinking Three or One.
-[Farley] Three? Three?
566
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,028
-[Courtney] Three.
-Five seconds.
567
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:56,823
-[Farley] You don't think it's Four?
-[Courtney] No. I think it might be Five.
568
00:26:56,906 --> 00:26:58,867
-His bread has plastic on it.
-[Mikey] Three…
569
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:01,703
-[Farley] Three. It's too perfect.
-[Mikey] Lock it in!
570
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,122
-[Mikey] Boom! Time's up.
-[bell dinging]
571
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:07,542
Let's see if you're right.
You guys locked in Three.
572
00:27:09,085 --> 00:27:11,421
[Courtney] Something cool about this,
I'm half Jewish.
573
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:14,049
So, the far and few times
I've had challah bread,
574
00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:16,092
this is actually all looking like it.
575
00:27:16,176 --> 00:27:20,388
Every single one is looking like
those Jewish holidays that I get to go to.
576
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:26,394
Let's see if you guys are gonna go
one-for-three, or oh-for-three.
577
00:27:28,229 --> 00:27:29,439
Let's find out.
578
00:27:30,023 --> 00:27:31,441
-It's jiggling.
-It's jiggling?
579
00:27:31,524 --> 00:27:33,902
-You guys and this jiggle.
-[Courtney] Not like cake.
580
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,111
[Mikey] I love it.
581
00:27:35,195 --> 00:27:37,781
Seeds and jiggle. Here we go.
582
00:27:37,864 --> 00:27:41,284
-[Courtney] They cut the same--
-Wait a minute. Bread would do that too.
583
00:27:41,368 --> 00:27:43,370
-[chuckles]
-[Mikey] Interesting.
584
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:45,372
That's bread.
585
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:46,331
Oh!
586
00:27:46,831 --> 00:27:49,501
-Judges! Oh-for-three.
-[gallery cheering]
587
00:27:49,584 --> 00:27:52,253
Andrew, you're up for the win today.
588
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:55,006
So, judges, where do you think it is now?
589
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:59,511
Courtney. Having been to a grocery store,
this is your time to shine.
590
00:27:59,594 --> 00:28:00,637
I think Five.
591
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,182
I'm just looking at a specific part
that's making me think it's a cake.
592
00:28:04,265 --> 00:28:05,934
Can you touch that Saran wrap for me?
593
00:28:06,017 --> 00:28:08,561
-Touch it? Okay! That's the cake!
-[Finesse] Yeah!
594
00:28:08,645 --> 00:28:09,646
Wow!
595
00:28:09,729 --> 00:28:11,314
Let's see if Number Five…
596
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:13,358
Is it cake?
597
00:28:13,942 --> 00:28:15,443
Ooh, that feels…
598
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:17,946
Ooh, nice cake. Look at that.
599
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:19,948
That feels cakey.
600
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:21,866
Shabbat Shalom!
601
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:25,078
-[Finesse] Told you!
-[Mikey] As it's caking in my hand.
602
00:28:25,161 --> 00:28:26,705
So, all hail Andrew.
603
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:29,666
-[Courtney] Yay!
-The king! He did it again!
604
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:32,544
You have deceived our judges.
605
00:28:32,627 --> 00:28:35,839
That means you could win back
the money you lost last time
606
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:38,007
in our Cake Or Cash round, buddy.
607
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:38,925
Whoo!
608
00:28:39,008 --> 00:28:40,468
[whooping]
609
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:44,681
Justin, Steve, Andrew,
you guys fooled our judges.
610
00:28:44,764 --> 00:28:45,890
Congratulations.
611
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:49,477
Three for three!
612
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,813
Bakers three, judges zero.
613
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:53,982
But there can only be one winner.
614
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:55,942
So, now it's up to the judges.
615
00:28:56,025 --> 00:28:58,319
They will need to take a closer look
616
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:03,158
before determining
who could win up to $20,000, guys.
617
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,534
[tense music playing]
618
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:10,498
They win $20,000? For making a good cake?
619
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:12,041
-[laughing]
-[giggles]
620
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:14,461
-I better start cooking.
-Let's go. I'll teach you.
621
00:29:14,544 --> 00:29:15,879
I would love that.
622
00:29:15,962 --> 00:29:19,340
Spin for us, oh mighty wall.
623
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:23,970
All right, judges.
We have a three-way tie.
624
00:29:24,053 --> 00:29:26,014
It's up to you to break it.
625
00:29:26,514 --> 00:29:30,268
It comes down to taste and the details.
626
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:34,314
Justin, why don't you
tell the judges about your cake.
627
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:38,026
It's chocolate cake with peanut butter
filling and salted peanuts.
628
00:29:38,526 --> 00:29:39,694
[Farley] I like this flavor.
629
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,280
It's good cake.
Oh, yeah, the peanut butter. Mm-hmm.
630
00:29:42,363 --> 00:29:45,450
Mm. And it's so good.
It doesn't taste like Wagyu.
631
00:29:45,533 --> 00:29:47,035
-At all.
-[laughing]
632
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:50,580
When you're up here, you can see
more of, like, the color differentiation
633
00:29:50,663 --> 00:29:53,374
between a real Wagyu and this one.
634
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:55,585
[chuckles] It still looks unbelievable.
635
00:29:55,668 --> 00:29:57,837
This is so challenging to pull off.
636
00:29:57,921 --> 00:30:00,757
-[Courtney] Can't get over the packaging.
-[Finesse] Impressive.
637
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,219
The difference from outside to inside
is almost the most surprising.
638
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:06,846
I never would've thought
it'd be chocolate and peanut butter.
639
00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:10,266
[Finesse] I was just gonna say that.
Uh-oh. Veggie shopping.
640
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,644
Steve, tell us about the flavors.
641
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:16,731
What we have is an almond cake
with a milk chocolate ganache
642
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,942
that has a hint of orange zest in it.
643
00:30:20,443 --> 00:30:23,738
This is just as good as the steak,
as far as just the flavor.
644
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,282
-[Courtney] Mm-hmm.
-I think the ganache is really nice.
645
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:28,243
I think the orange zest helps to lift it.
646
00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:33,248
What's tripping me out
are the details in the asparagus.
647
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:34,165
[Courtney] Yeah.
648
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:37,085
I'm this close, and I still can't
tell that that is a cake.
649
00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:40,588
This looks more like cauliflower
the closer up I am to it
650
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,882
than when I was farther away from it.
651
00:30:42,966 --> 00:30:44,843
The art is top-notch on this one.
652
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:46,386
[chuckles]
653
00:30:47,595 --> 00:30:51,057
[Mikey] All right, Andrew, tell the judges
what kind of cake you made.
654
00:30:51,140 --> 00:30:54,102
-[Finesse] I'm going in. I'm going in!
-I'm going to eat this big chunk.
655
00:30:54,185 --> 00:30:56,980
[Andrew] So it's a donut cake
with maple pecan frosting.
656
00:30:57,564 --> 00:30:58,815
I'm going in again!
657
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:04,028
[Farley] The cronut is dead.
This is the new donut cake we're after.
658
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:05,071
[laughs]
659
00:31:05,154 --> 00:31:07,532
[Courtney] Even this close,
I'd still think it's bread.
660
00:31:07,615 --> 00:31:09,033
I was-- Okay, Courtney.
661
00:31:09,117 --> 00:31:12,328
-So, I was thinking that earlier.
-I was just thinking this is bread.
662
00:31:12,412 --> 00:31:15,164
And when you're this close
and the details have me fooled,
663
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:17,458
and then it tastes the way it tastes.
664
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:18,585
And again, this cellophane.
665
00:31:18,668 --> 00:31:21,921
If you just touch the end of this,
you would think it's regular plastic.
666
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:23,756
Yeah. That's crazy.
667
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:27,135
Judges, you've had a closer look.
668
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:28,511
You've tasted the cakes.
669
00:31:28,595 --> 00:31:30,305
Take a minute. Deliberate.
670
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:32,265
-And decide our winner.
-[exhales]
671
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:34,475
Now, they discuss your fate.
672
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:37,312
One of you will be champion.
673
00:31:38,021 --> 00:31:43,359
The other, tossed out into the gallery.
674
00:31:43,443 --> 00:31:44,277
[laughing]
675
00:31:45,278 --> 00:31:50,992
With Justin's steak, as far as the looks
are concerned, I'm super impressed.
676
00:31:51,075 --> 00:31:53,411
I was really feeling
peanut butter and chocolate.
677
00:31:53,494 --> 00:31:55,038
-You can't go wrong with that.
-Yeah.
678
00:31:55,121 --> 00:31:56,539
But the level of craftsmanship
679
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:59,459
with the rubber band, again,
and the little asparagus tips
680
00:31:59,542 --> 00:32:01,628
feels like you'd see it
at any grocery store.
681
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:03,671
-You know what I'm talking about.
-[laughs] I do.
682
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:07,300
Flavor-wise, I'm gonna
try to, like, be straight up.
683
00:32:07,383 --> 00:32:09,385
The donut cake was amazing to me.
684
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:12,805
-[Farley] Donut is something different.
-I've made up my mind.
685
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:15,141
-Yeah, I'm with you. I made up my mind.
-Yeah.
686
00:32:15,224 --> 00:32:16,476
-We agree.
-Okay. Cool.
687
00:32:18,561 --> 00:32:19,896
[quietly] Oh my gosh.
688
00:32:19,979 --> 00:32:21,272
Ahem!
689
00:32:21,356 --> 00:32:23,650
Okay!
690
00:32:24,525 --> 00:32:27,445
Judges? Have you reached a decision?
691
00:32:27,528 --> 00:32:31,032
Mikey, we were really blown away
by the look of each and every cake.
692
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:33,368
Hats off to you guys, because…
693
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:35,495
-[whooping]
-Good job, guys!
694
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:41,918
Even though we fell in love
with the look of Steve's cake,
695
00:32:42,001 --> 00:32:44,212
we really think that…
696
00:32:44,295 --> 00:32:45,713
[tense music playing]
697
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:49,592
…Andrew hit a home run. We choose Andrew.
698
00:32:49,676 --> 00:32:53,096
-[Mikey] Andrew!
-[gallery cheering]
699
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:55,598
-[whooping]
-[Andrew] Thank you, guys.
700
00:32:56,432 --> 00:32:57,684
Andrew!
701
00:32:57,767 --> 00:33:01,104
The champion slays another beast.
702
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:04,190
-Congrats, you just won $5,000.
-Thank you.
703
00:33:04,273 --> 00:33:08,903
That means you have won a total of $10,000
in this competition, my friend.
704
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,238
[Jonny] Nice one, Andrew!
705
00:33:11,197 --> 00:33:14,325
Judges, what brought it over the top
for Andrew here?
706
00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:16,411
[Finesse] Andrew's cake
not only looked the part,
707
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:19,247
not only did it fool me,
but it tasted amazing,
708
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:21,916
and I've never had donut cake.
He pulled it off.
709
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,919
The execution on this one…
This is just so well done,
710
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:28,840
from the cellophane down to the flavors,
and it looks the part all the way.
711
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:30,967
[Mikey] Let's give a round of applause
for our judges.
712
00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:34,345
-Thank you, Farley, Finesse, and Courtney.
-[applause, whooping]
713
00:33:34,429 --> 00:33:37,223
Cake Wall, take our judges home.
714
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:39,350
-Thank you!
-[game show music playing]
715
00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:41,394
Look at that! Perfect.
716
00:33:42,437 --> 00:33:43,438
Bye!
717
00:33:44,313 --> 00:33:45,398
Miss you.
718
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:48,401
Justin and Steve.
719
00:33:48,484 --> 00:33:52,739
I'm sorry, but you will
both get a chance to bake again.
720
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:56,617
So, please join the other bakers
in the gallery.
721
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:58,870
-Come to us!
-[Mikey] Applause!
722
00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:03,124
Andrew. Hello again.
723
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:08,504
It is time to play Cake or Cash?
724
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:18,723
All right, since you didn't win
the $5,000 last time,
725
00:34:18,806 --> 00:34:22,060
that money has rolled over again.
726
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:26,564
And you're now playing for $15,000.
727
00:34:26,647 --> 00:34:28,107
[whooping]
728
00:34:28,191 --> 00:34:29,400
[Dessiree] You got this!
729
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:31,736
What are we gonna do? We gonna get it?
730
00:34:31,819 --> 00:34:33,738
We gonna try to get it. [chuckles]
731
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,157
All right.
732
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:41,496
On the other side of the cake wall
are two cash registers.
733
00:34:42,163 --> 00:34:45,666
One of these cash registers
is filled with cash,
734
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:50,463
and the other one,
I'm not sure, but I think is cake.
735
00:34:50,546 --> 00:34:53,174
If you guess the cake, you get the cash.
736
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:56,219
You have 15 seconds
to decide which one is cake.
737
00:34:56,302 --> 00:34:58,763
And your time starts now!
738
00:34:58,846 --> 00:35:00,765
-[tense music playing]
-[timer beeping]
739
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:11,776
[Mikey] Ooh.
740
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:14,070
Five seconds, Andrew.
741
00:35:14,153 --> 00:35:17,990
-[rapid beeping]
-Four, three, two…
742
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:19,242
[bell dinging]
743
00:35:20,743 --> 00:35:22,745
You already locked in your answer.
744
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:24,705
-That's a good sign!
-[applause, whooping]
745
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,374
[Mikey] You said Number Two.
746
00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:29,001
Why do you think that is cake?
747
00:35:29,085 --> 00:35:33,089
I don't know. There's something
about the-- the sheen on Number One
748
00:35:33,172 --> 00:35:35,049
that makes me feel like it could be real.
749
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:37,760
But who knows in this game? I don't know.
750
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:39,846
-I'm nervous.
-I'm nervous, too.
751
00:35:39,929 --> 00:35:41,180
[Mikey groans softly]
752
00:35:41,264 --> 00:35:43,015
Let's just be here together.
753
00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:45,143
-No. Let's just do this, please.
-Okay!
754
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:48,604
I'll end the agony I'm putting us through.
And let's see if you're right!
755
00:35:48,688 --> 00:35:49,522
Thank you.
756
00:35:49,605 --> 00:35:54,277
The $15,000 march
up to the cash registers.
757
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:59,782
Okay, Andrew.
If this is cake, you win $15,000.
758
00:35:59,866 --> 00:36:01,826
[groans] I can't, right now.
759
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:04,620
Now, the fun begins.
760
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:08,040
Is it cake? Let's find out.
761
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:09,250
[tense music playing]
762
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,253
[clears throat]
763
00:36:16,048 --> 00:36:18,259
-[Mikey] Oh!
-[upbeat music plays]
764

-[Andrew squeals]
-[gallery whooping]
765
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:25,308
[Mikey] Behold! Behold!
766
00:36:25,391 --> 00:36:26,309
[Andrew] Oh my God.
767
00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:29,103
I'm gonna cut you
another slice too, buddy.
768
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,939
-That's 15,000.
-Oh my God.
769
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:36,611
For a grand total
of $25,000 in this competition!
770
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:38,362
-[Dessiree] Goodness!
-Oh my God.
771
00:36:38,446 --> 00:36:40,740
And you're moving on to bake again.
772
00:36:40,823 --> 00:36:41,908
But…
773
00:36:41,991 --> 00:36:45,494
-Everything is about to change.
-[bakers groaning]
774
00:36:45,578 --> 00:36:48,206
Forget what you guys know about this game,
775
00:36:48,289 --> 00:36:54,503
because something that none of you
are expecting is going to happen.
776
00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:56,505
[laughs maniacally]
777
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:58,216
I'm not going to tell you now,
778
00:36:58,299 --> 00:37:03,221
-but trust me, it's big and very wonky.
-[Nina chuckles]
779
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:06,515
[laughs maniacally]
780
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:07,600
[gears crunching]
781
00:37:07,683 --> 00:37:10,561
[Mikey] Oh God!
I have again fallen into the gears!
782
00:37:10,645 --> 00:37:11,854
[laughing]
783
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:14,106
I'm fine, but I'm very badly burned.
784
00:37:15,858 --> 00:37:18,027
[closing theme music playing]
