00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:19,602
Make room for me!
5
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,856
Oh, hello, bakers.
6
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:23,982
[laughs]
7
00:00:24,065 --> 00:00:26,609
Why do I have a blow torch?
8
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,821
Because things are really heating up.
9
00:00:29,904 --> 00:00:31,364
Oh my God.

00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:32,782

13
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:40,832
I'm with two of our lucky bakers
going to the finale.
14
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:43,752
-Andrew and April.
-[bakers cheering]
15
00:00:44,335 --> 00:00:47,338
Please join the gallery.
Andrew, can you take this with you?
16
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:50,008
Thank you so much.
Don't light your hair on fire.
17
00:00:50,091 --> 00:00:52,552
It looks flammable.
[makes whooshing sound]
18
00:00:54,012 --> 00:00:55,430
And then there were three.
19
00:00:56,765 --> 00:01:01,978
You have patiently sat and waited
a long time to bake again.
20
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:04,314
Here's how this is going to work.
21
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:07,108
All three of you will be baking today,
22
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:10,445
and you will be competing
for up to $10,000
23
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:13,698
and the last spot in the finale,
24
00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:16,493
where one of you will go up against
Andrew and April,
25
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:19,913
and could win $50,000.
26
00:01:19,996 --> 00:01:21,748
-[gallery whooping]
-Yes!
27
00:01:23,458 --> 00:01:24,584
Let's get to it.
28
00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:28,713
It's time to play Find That Cake.
29
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:36,304
When the cake wall spins around,
30
00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:39,724
you're going to see six stands
holding different…
31
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:43,895
-toys.

00:01:43,978 --> 00:01:45,271
-[laughs]
-[Andrew] Oh!
33
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:46,189
Okay.
34
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:50,193
Five of those toys are real, and one is…
35
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,195
-Cake?
-[Mikey] …cake.
36
00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:53,988
Yes. Thank you, Sam.
37
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:54,948
[bakers laugh]
38
00:01:55,031 --> 00:01:57,492
Cake Wall, spin!
39
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:03,081
You have 20 seconds
to lock in your answers on your keypads.
40
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:07,669
If you're the fastest,
you get to pick your item first.
41
00:02:07,752 --> 00:02:11,506
Your time starts now!

00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:14,509
[tense music playing]
43
00:02:20,598 --> 00:02:22,892
[Mikey] Ten seconds, bakers.
44
00:02:35,071 --> 00:02:37,031
Five seconds. Lock in an answer.
45
00:02:37,782 --> 00:02:40,451
-Three, two, one.
-[bell dinging]
46
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:42,579
Time's up!
47
00:02:47,375 --> 00:02:50,003
Okay, bakers. Let's see how you did.
48
00:02:50,086 --> 00:02:53,506
Dessiree, you picked Number Two.
49
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:54,841
The building blocks.
50
00:02:54,924 --> 00:02:56,342
-Mm-hmm.
-Let's see if you're right.
51
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:58,595
[tense music playing]
52
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:02,223
[gallery groaning]
53
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,435
-Not.
-I'm sorry, Dessiree. Not cake.
54
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:10,523
Okay. Hemu, you picked this dinosaur.
55
00:03:10,607 --> 00:03:13,776
Why do you think this is cake?
56
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:17,697
I don't know. I haven't seen
this kind of dinosaur in the toy store
57
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:19,407
in the dinosaur section.
58
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:23,077
Hemu, on your frequent
dinosaur shopping sprees.
59
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,037
I know, right?
60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,372
With bags, like Beverly Hills.
61
00:03:27,081 --> 00:03:29,417
"Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs!"
62
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,795
"Dino clothes… where to?"
63
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,007
[laughing]
64
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:39,594
Sam, you also picked this dinosaur.
65
00:03:39,677 --> 00:03:41,554
I was just getting really desperate.
66
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,014
[laughing]
67
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:46,893
All right, well, let's find out…
68
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,023
-Is it cake?
-[suspenseful music plays]
69
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:54,734
[Mikey hums a tune]
70
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:58,279
Oh ho ho!
71
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:01,491
-It's cake!
-[Hemu] It's cake!
72
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,035
[Hemu laughs] Yeah.
73
00:04:05,119 --> 00:04:07,538
-Yes, it is cake.
-[Mikey] That's cake.
74
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:10,166
Okay! The two of you found it.
75
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:14,337
But the question is,
who found it the fastest?
76
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:18,716
Hemu! Congrats! You get first pick today.
77
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:25,014
You've never seen this in a store,
but you got it the fastest. So, well done.
78
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:29,352
-Thank you.
-It's time to play Is It Cake?
79
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:37,777
Bakers, each of you will get to choose
one of these toys
80
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,779
to make into a cake.
81
00:04:39,862 --> 00:04:42,073
Hemu, you found it the fastest.
82
00:04:42,156 --> 00:04:44,033
And you will get first pick.
83
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,244
-What's it going to be?
-Number One.
84
00:04:47,036 --> 00:04:48,371
[Mikey] You chose the…
85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,832
elephant in the room.
86
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:51,791
[laughing]
87
00:04:51,874 --> 00:04:54,669
Wait, what? The show's canceled?
88
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:57,630
Why did you choose the elephant?
89
00:04:57,714 --> 00:04:59,173
I want to challenge myself.
90
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:02,844
I wanna give myself something hard,
which I can pull off really well.
91
00:05:02,927 --> 00:05:07,098
Way to take a risk. You guys are
adrenaline junkies. I love it.
92
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:08,850
-Okay.
-Hope it goes well.
93
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:11,227
What are you going to choose here, Sam?
94
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,854
Uh, I'm gonna do the chess.
95
00:05:12,937 --> 00:05:14,605
[Mikey] The chess set!
96
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:17,692
Yeah, I personally don't even
know how to play chess.
97
00:05:17,775 --> 00:05:18,651
You don't?
98
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:21,195
-I don't know how.
-[Hemu] No? Oh my God.
99
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,698
And finally, Dessiree.
100
00:05:23,781 --> 00:05:25,283
What are you going to bake today?
101
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:26,993
Maybe I'll pick Number Five.
102
00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:31,497
-Okay. If that's what your gut told you.
-But it's two ducks, Dessiree, so…
103
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:34,500
-A baby and a--
-It's a baby one. I have a little girl.
104
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:35,460
[gallery] Aw!
105
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:37,337
-[Dessiree] Mama ducky, baby ducky.
-Aw!
106
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:39,589
[Mikey] That's absolutely adorable.
107
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:40,798
[Mikey chuckles]
108
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:42,759
[sweetly] That's you
and that's your daughter?
109
00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:44,677
[angrily] All right! Is it cake?
110
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:46,179
-[bakers laughing]
-[growls]
111
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:49,599
Okay, bakers. You have eight hours.
112
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:51,517
It's time to bake!
113
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:55,063
-Go guys!
-You got it, guys! Woo-hoo!
114
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:57,357
[whooping, clapping]
115
00:05:58,524 --> 00:05:59,859
Hustle! Hustle! Hustle!
116
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:01,652
Good luck, everyone!
117
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,822
And I'm sorry
because you're competing with me.
118
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:09,619
[laughs] Really?
Okay, so the game is on, baby.
119
00:06:09,702 --> 00:06:12,246
I know that my daughter, if she was here,
120
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:16,167
she just was screaming,
"Pick the duck! Pick the duck!"
121
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:17,502
So, that's why I did.
122
00:06:17,585 --> 00:06:21,339
My daughter, she's ten.
And her name is Amanda.
123
00:06:21,422 --> 00:06:24,467
She's the most important thing in my life.
124
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:28,513
Even when I'm working,
I always remind myself, this is for her.
125
00:06:28,596 --> 00:06:33,184
And the most important for me
is that my daughter is proud of me.
126
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:35,728
I wanna get to the finale for her.
127
00:06:36,312 --> 00:06:38,981
Hey, Dessi. What did you
choose for your flavors?
128
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:43,403
I tried to mix a lot of flavors
that my daughter, she loves.
129
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:45,071
I'm making vanilla cake,
130
00:06:45,154 --> 00:06:47,407
cookies and cream buttercream,
131
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:49,492
chunky pieces of brownie,
132
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:52,995
and edible cookie dough
with chocolate chips.
133
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,497
-Oh, nice.
-Ooh.
134
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,791
-Interesting.
-Sounds good. I want a piece.
135
00:06:56,874 --> 00:07:02,338
When you have a simple item that you have
to make, maybe they look easy.
136
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,506
They are not.
137
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:07,301
Because you need details
to hide imperfection.
138
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:10,930
So, this is a lot of concern
about the rubber ducky.
139
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:13,057
I wish I could have yours.
140
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:14,809
-You want mine?
-Yes.
141
00:07:14,892 --> 00:07:20,189
When I was a kid, I literally
loved board games. But not chess.
142
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:22,775
I don't even know how many pieces
are on a chess board.
143
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:24,652
But I did watch The Queen's Gambit.
144
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:27,280
So, like, that's the extent
of my chess knowledge.
145
00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:28,489
[laughs]
146
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:32,660
Let's see if I can be cleaner this time.
I'll look at your station for inspiration.
147
00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:35,621
[laughs] Let's see how clean I am.
148
00:07:35,705 --> 00:07:38,541
[Sam] I picked the chess set
because of the shape of the board.
149
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,418
It's the perfect cake pan size.
150
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:42,879
Luckily with this cake,
I won't have to carve it.
151
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:48,468
But I need to prioritize getting it even,
and straight, and perfectly square.
152
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:50,845
-You've got something in the oven?
-Yeah.
153
00:07:50,928 --> 00:07:53,306
-Okay.
-This is just extra that I'll eat.
154
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:54,640
[laughs]
155
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:56,476
This bake is pretty important,
156
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:58,603
because whoever wins moves on,
157
00:07:58,686 --> 00:08:00,771
and then the other two are out.
158
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:02,315
Moment of truth, really.
159
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:03,983
What you doing?
160
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:05,443
Oh, the strawberry.
161
00:08:05,943 --> 00:08:07,320
I'm doing Strawberry Pop-Tart.
162
00:08:07,403 --> 00:08:09,071
It'll be like a strawberry cake.
163
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:12,492
-[Dessiree] Okay.
-[Sam] And then, crushed up Pop-Tarts.
164
00:08:12,575 --> 00:08:14,452
Then I do a homemade shortbread cookie.
165
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:17,622
That's good. I should make
that one for holidays.
166
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,666
The whole theme is, like, toys,
which is, like, kind of, kids.
167
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:23,544
And Pop-Tarts are, kind of, like, kids.
168
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,631
It's one of my favorite flavors.
I think the judges will like it.
169
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:29,842
So, she picked the elephant.
How would you guys go about it?
170
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:31,761
-[Jonny] I wouldn't.
-[Justin laughs]
171
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:35,389
-I'd be making the rubber duck.
-That's the one I would've picked.
172
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:38,184
But I would've completely
shot myself in the foot, I think.
173
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,394
Even the structure she has to worry about.
174
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:41,604
Yeah, it's crazy.
175
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:46,108
Hemu also, like, specializes
in this exact thing.
176
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:50,279
My skill set is all about
the details and sculpting.
177
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:52,406
I do a lot of sculpted cake.
178
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,493
So, making structured cake
is not a new thing for me.
179
00:08:55,576 --> 00:08:57,787
I make a lot of them.
But never this small.
180
00:08:57,870 --> 00:09:01,832
I'm just a little bit concerned
about the size of the elephant.
181
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:03,125
-Hemu!
-Yeah?
182
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,794
What flavor is your cake?
183
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:08,047
[Hemu] Dark chocolate
with raspberry chocolate ganache,
184
00:09:08,130 --> 00:09:10,174
raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream,
185
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:11,926
and chopped milk chocolate.
186
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:15,137
-[Andrew] All in a little elephant?
-You fit a lot in that little guy.
187
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,514
Let's see.
188
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:18,140
It's a very small cake.
189
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:21,227
And I need to make sure
that those tiny bites,
190
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:24,272
they will get everything they need
in that single bite.
191
00:09:24,355 --> 00:09:29,110
One of us is gonna make it to the finale,
against April and Andrew.
192
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:31,404
-What do you think?
-No fear, no pain.
193
00:09:31,487 --> 00:09:32,780
[laughs]
194
00:09:32,863 --> 00:09:34,865
[funky music playing]
195
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:37,285
Oh, hello, bakers!
196
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:38,744
Hello, Mikey.
197
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:42,790
I brought everyone some toys!
198
00:09:42,873 --> 00:09:45,126
Which is weird to say
to a group of adults.
199
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:48,129
We have elephants,
200
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:49,880
chess sets,
201
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:52,091
and rubber duckies.
202
00:09:52,174 --> 00:09:55,261
Get your decoys here! Get your decoys!
203
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:59,348
[Sam] In the gallery, you learn that
decoys are just as important as cake.
204
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:00,891
They, like, confuse the judges.
205
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:04,770
So, I just kind of want to distract them
with a bunch of crazy looking decoys
206
00:10:04,854 --> 00:10:06,981
so they don't really know
what they're looking at.
207
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:09,108
[Mikey] All right, bakers! Six hours.
208
00:10:09,191 --> 00:10:10,401
Six hours left!
209
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:15,615
This is going to be the first
structure cake in the whole--
210
00:10:15,698 --> 00:10:17,658
-[Sam] Show. Yeah.
-Right?
211
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:21,912
The structure cake has a frame
to support the weight of the cake.
212
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:26,042
But making the structure,
getting it to the right size,
213
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:27,710
it's kind of complex.
214
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:30,796
So, I'm using thick wires
to make the legs.
215
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,715
And cardboard to make the body.
216
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:35,134
I'm trying to make it right. Let's see!
217
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:40,556
And aluminum foil to make
the head and the trunk structure.
218
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,932
How you doing, Hemu?
219
00:10:42,016 --> 00:10:44,101
I'm fine.
220
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:47,271
I have to start
putting the modeling chocolate.
221
00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:51,984
I'm going to form the details by adding
and bulking up with modeling chocolate.
222
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:55,154
I have to make sure
that I'm making it right size.
223
00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:58,407
If I mess up my structure,
I cannot go back.
224
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:02,161
So, I'm gonna take my time
to make that structure right.
225
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:08,417
I have to be really precise.
Otherwise, I'm in trouble.
226
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:11,420
Bakers, I got a couple hours to kill,
227
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:12,922
so I'll teach myself chess.
228
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,632
I know, more than anything,
229
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:17,468
you like me yelling
what I'm currently doing at you.
230
00:11:17,551 --> 00:11:18,552
[bakers chuckle]
231
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:19,929
[upbeat music playing]
232
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:28,813
[Mikey] We got rooks and knights.
233
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:30,356
Is this a knight or a rook?
234
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:37,697
Gotta always be three moves ahead. So…
235
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:40,908
[rubber duck squeaks]
236
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:43,869
Let's keep those squeaks down.
I'm trying to play chess.
237
00:11:43,953 --> 00:11:45,746
You got about four hours left.
238
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,081
[rubber duck squeaks]
239
00:11:47,164 --> 00:11:48,624
[chuckles] I'm sorry.
240
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:50,000
Where was I?
241
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:51,961
[Dessiree] The part that stresses me
242
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:56,340
is the smooth
of the fondant or the chocolate.
243
00:11:56,424 --> 00:11:59,385
Because that can't show anything.
244
00:11:59,468 --> 00:12:02,805
To make the duck's head,
I use the half-circle mold.
245
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:05,933
I make two half circles
with my cake pop mix.
246
00:12:06,016 --> 00:12:09,228
And I use a different mold for the beak.
247
00:12:09,311 --> 00:12:10,229
He's so cute.
248
00:12:10,312 --> 00:12:12,398
He looks like he's wearing a mask.
249
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:13,733
[laughs]
250
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:17,653
The hardest element of the chess
board is replicating the wooden sides.
251
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:21,282
I am covering the cake
with the modeling chocolate-fondant mix,
252
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:25,161
and really being careful to get
the sides straight, get the edges sharp.
253
00:12:25,244 --> 00:12:26,746
That's, like, never easy to do.
254
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:30,332
I'm also cutting strips
of modeling chocolate-fondant mix
255
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,710
to add all the trim detail on each side.
256
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:36,380
This whole thing reminds me
that I did a chess board, and it sucked.
257
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:39,383
And also the chess pieces,
they're so hard to mold.
258
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:43,471
I'm gonna make the chess pieces
out of melted candy melts.
259
00:12:43,554 --> 00:12:45,556
That's something that holds shapes well.
260
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,559
And I'm gonna be pouring them
into silicone molds
261
00:12:48,642 --> 00:12:50,853
that are the shape of chess pieces.
262
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:53,939
And then you have to clean them up
with a matte knife.
263
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:58,110
I can't decide if this makes me wanna
learn chess, or, like, never play it ever.
264
00:12:58,194 --> 00:12:59,195
[bakers laughing]
265
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:01,405
[upbeat music playing]
266
00:13:17,671 --> 00:13:19,298
[Hemu] I'm looking at my decoys.
267
00:13:19,381 --> 00:13:22,927
It has brown
and grayish and violet kind of a tone,
268
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:26,931
so I'm adding the brown color
that's kind of a base color,
269
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:29,975
because it's gonna
go into the creases of those lines,
270
00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:35,064
and then I'm gonna go with darker colors
like grayish and violet kind of a tone.
271
00:13:35,689 --> 00:13:37,817
The colors. They're not coming good.
272
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,485
-[Sam] Colors are weird.
-I know.
273
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:42,780
[Hemu] My color is not
the same as the decoys.
274
00:13:42,863 --> 00:13:46,116
And I'm freaking out,
like how to fix this.
275
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,578
You spend so much time detailing,
and then color goes off.
276
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,455
It's just not coming right.
277
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:56,710
This is my last chance to prove to my kids
and my family that I can do it best.
278
00:13:57,211 --> 00:14:00,089
And to make my sister proud.
279
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:04,426
She's in heaven, and she was always
sharing my accomplishments.
280
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,012
I'm hoping I'll win the show for her.
281
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:08,138
[sighs]
282
00:14:09,765 --> 00:14:13,227
I need to place the eyes on the duck.
283
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:16,480
So, I make a stencil for my duck.
284
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,691
And now he looks like a super duck.
285
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:21,318
-Sam, you wanna see my super power?
-Yeah.
286
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,363
-It's a super duck!
-[Sam] Oh my God. He's adorable!
287
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:25,281
Yes!
288
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,367
He's got the power to win $50,000.
289
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,743
He's really cute.
290
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:30,744
-Sam?
-Yeah?
291
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:32,496
How will you do the checkerboard?
292
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:36,000
I think I'll do a guideline
and then paint on top of it.
293
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:38,961
-Jonny, come here.
-[Jonny] Uh-oh.
294
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:40,963
-Do a time call.
-[Jonny] Oh, really?
295
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:43,465
Yeah. Say, "One hour--"
Say "One hour left."
296
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:46,260
[nervously] Um… One hour left, you guys.
297
00:14:46,343 --> 00:14:47,845
-[Mikey laughs]
-Come on, Jonny!
298
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:49,763
[Jonny] Okay, teach me your way.
299
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:51,682
-Give it some confidence.
-All right.
300
00:14:51,765 --> 00:14:53,976
Guys! Seriously, though. One hour left!
301
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,103
-You're hired.
-Thank you.
302
00:14:57,563 --> 00:15:00,983
The most that I'm afraid is the texture,
303
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:03,569
how smooth it's gonna look.
304
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:08,032
I don't want something that is too matte,
and I don't want something too shiny.
305
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:09,658
I want something in the middle.
306
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:11,285
So, I get the shortening.
307
00:15:11,368 --> 00:15:16,957
Shortening is shiny, but not too shiny
like when you place oil on it.
308
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:21,503
Thirty minutes! Thirty minutes left!
309
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,882
-What do you think of the color?
-Looks way better.
310
00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:25,799
Yeah.
311
00:15:25,883 --> 00:15:28,510
After blending more colors,
I'm happy with the color.
312
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,638
It's looking more like the decoys.
313
00:15:30,721 --> 00:15:35,059
Sculpting that tiny elephant,
making his face right,
314
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:36,435
making the trunk size right.
315
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:38,896
Everything is hard about this cake.
316
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:44,860
This seven-inch tiny elephant toy can
take me to the finale or eliminate me.
317
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:46,946
All right, bakers, five minutes left!
318
00:15:47,029 --> 00:15:49,531
Trim your fondant. Do what you need to do.
319
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,659
[upbeat music playing]
320
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:57,206
Feeling good about my cake.
321
00:15:57,289 --> 00:16:00,918
I'm definitely glad I put that work
into the pieces and the checkerboard.
322
00:16:01,001 --> 00:16:04,672
I'm hoping those fine details
could help me get to the finale.
323
00:16:04,755 --> 00:16:06,090
This works.
324
00:16:06,173 --> 00:16:08,592
One minutes, bakers! One minute left!
325
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,302
[energetic music playing]
326
00:16:19,436 --> 00:16:23,273
[Mikey] Three, two, one.
Okay, time's up, bakers!
327
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:24,233
[cheering]
328
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:26,652
-[Mikey] Best of luck to all of you.
-[sighs]
329
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:34,576
Hemu. Sam. Dessiree.
330
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:38,414
You've been working for hours
to perfect your cakes,
331
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:43,419
in the hopes of claiming that last spot
in the finale. No pressure.
332
00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:44,878
[whooping, clapping]
333
00:16:46,213 --> 00:16:49,675
And it all comes down
to our wonderful judges.

and all-around internet sensation.

337
00:16:58,642 --> 00:16:59,560
[whoops]
338
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,147
Your stuff is wonderfully accessible.
339
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:05,858
It's a lot of you talking to camera
and having fun.
340
00:17:05,941 --> 00:17:09,028
Where you're just that low-angle,
like, "What's up?"
341
00:17:09,111 --> 00:17:11,530
How many chins in one video
is really the goal.
342
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:12,489
[laughing]
343
00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:15,784
Actor, comedian, and…
344
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:19,038
Oh, man, this is so gross,
she wrote her bio herself.
345
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:22,249
"The star of Saturday Night Live,
346
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:26,378
where she regularly outshines Mikey
347
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:30,716
and has lots of cool projects coming up"?
348
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:32,551
-[laughing]
-[Mikey] Heidi Gardner.
349
00:17:32,634 --> 00:17:34,219
[whooping]
350
00:17:35,304 --> 00:17:36,180
Hi.
351
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,932
Hi, Mikey. Thank you for reading that.
352
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,267
No problem.
353
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:41,935
This is a favor gig.
354
00:17:42,644 --> 00:17:44,396
You constantly remind me.
355
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,731
[chuckles] I know.
356
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:47,524
All right. And actor, comedian,
357
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:51,070
and you know him from the Netflix series
Cobra Kai…
358
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:52,905
-Yeah.
-[Mikey] Mr. Dan Ahdoot!
359
00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:54,073
Thank you, sir!
360
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:55,991
[whooping]
361
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,619
-Yes! Let's go!
-You also have a podcast.
362
00:17:58,702 --> 00:18:00,621
-Green Eggs and Dan, right?
-Yes.
363
00:18:00,704 --> 00:18:03,165
-Best-named podcast ever.
-Absolutely.
364
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:05,876
Do you feel prepared to look at cakes?
365
00:18:05,959 --> 00:18:09,630
I cannot… imagine
that someone can convince me
366
00:18:09,713 --> 00:18:13,634
that something is not a cake
when it's a cake. Or vice versa.
367
00:18:13,717 --> 00:18:15,219
-Ooh!
-[Dan] Yeah.
368
00:18:15,302 --> 00:18:16,595
Shots fired!
369
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:19,056
-Meet these people!
-[gallery laughing]
370
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:21,934
They're all like,
"Give me eight hours, I can do it."
371
00:18:22,684 --> 00:18:25,479
Judges, the three of you
have 20 seconds to find the cake
372
00:18:25,562 --> 00:18:29,108
and agree on one answer and enter it
on the keypad in front of Heidi.
373
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:31,276
First up is Hemu.
374
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,612
Cake Wall, spin!
375
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,408
All right, judges,
you will see five cake stands,
376
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:40,577
each with a toy elephant on them.
377
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:44,790
But one of those elephants, guys, is cake!
378
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:47,334
Let's see if you can figure out which one.
379
00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:49,253
Your time starts now!
380
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:53,132
-[Heidi] Oh my God. Um…
-[Dan] Are you… This is… No.
381
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:55,509
[Brittany laughs] "This is no."
382
00:18:55,592 --> 00:18:57,261
[Heidi] Oh my God! Um…
383
00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:58,428
[Dan] What?
384
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:00,514
-Oh my God!
-Oh, it's Two. It's Two.
385
00:19:00,597 --> 00:19:02,516
-[Heidi] Two?
-[Dan] I think it's Two also!
386
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:03,475
Oh my God--
387
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:05,686
[Dan] It has a shine to it, like marzipan.
388
00:19:05,769 --> 00:19:06,645
[Mikey laughs]
389
00:19:06,728 --> 00:19:10,149
-But all of them have shines to them--
-[Brittany] I know fondant!
390
00:19:10,232 --> 00:19:12,025
-[Heidi] Um…
-[Mikey] Ten seconds!
391
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:15,988
Number Five. Look at the belly.
There's extra little elephant belly.
392
00:19:16,071 --> 00:19:18,407
-She's just pregnant.
-[Mikey] Five seconds!
393
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:21,326
Two looks to me…
Maybe it's just the closest one to me.
394
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,412
-Oh my God.
-[Dan] Five is weird too.
395
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,330
-Five has red spots.
-Three seconds!
396
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:26,498
-Two does have--
-Two!
397
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:27,875
-[judges yell]
-[Mikey] One!
398
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:28,792
[bell dinging]
399
00:19:28,876 --> 00:19:30,085
[Mikey] Time's up.
400
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:31,795
That got intense.
401
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,715
You guys selected Number Two.
402
00:19:35,924 --> 00:19:37,092
How are we feeling?
403
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:41,388
I think we got through it in the end.
We really bonded together.
404
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:44,850
It's not about the destination,
it's the friends we made along the way.
405
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:46,852
-[laughing]
-[Dan] Wait.
406
00:19:46,935 --> 00:19:48,270
I don't agree with that.
407
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:52,357
If we don't get this right, I don't
want to speak to any of you ever again.
408
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:53,567
-[Heidi] My God.
-[laughing]
409
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:56,820
[exhales deeply] All right, Hemu.
This is a big moment.
410
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:01,783
Favorite part of the show, grab the knife.
411
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:02,826
Oh.
412
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:06,663
[Mikey] Hemu, if this is a toy elephant,
413
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:11,919
you are still in the race
for that last spot in the finale.
414
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:15,631
If it's cake, you will be eliminated.
415
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,217
Let's find out.
416
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:20,552
[menacingly] Is it cake?
417
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:22,054
[tense music playing]
418
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:26,141
-[Heidi] Right in half-- Oh!
-Oh.
419
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:27,059
[Dan gasps]
420
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:28,602
Not cake!
421
00:20:28,685 --> 00:20:30,771
-[whooping]
-[upbeat music plays]
422
00:20:31,688 --> 00:20:32,606
Thank you.
423
00:20:32,689 --> 00:20:33,523
Wow.
424
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:36,818
-Hemu! Congratulations, girl.
-Thank you.
425
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,321
Thank you so much
for not guessing my cake.
426
00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:42,199
-Anytime.
-"Thank you for being easily fooled."
427
00:20:43,116 --> 00:20:45,327
Hemu. Since the judges couldn't find it,
428
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:48,288
I think you should come up
and reveal your cake.
429
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:53,377
And look right into Dan's eyes
when you cut it.
430
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:56,630
-Yeah. He says it's an easy game, so…
-Oh!
431
00:20:56,713 --> 00:20:57,714
[chuckles]
432
00:20:57,798 --> 00:20:59,716
[suspenseful music playing]
433
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:03,512
-No.
-Oh!
434
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:04,888
Oh!
435
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:06,473
[Dan] Hemu!
436
00:21:06,556 --> 00:21:09,268
-That's classic Hemu right there.
-[laughing]
437
00:21:09,351 --> 00:21:11,603
-[Mikey] Messing with you.
-Let's not play more.
438
00:21:11,687 --> 00:21:13,855
Elephant belly. This is it.
439
00:21:14,856 --> 00:21:15,774
This is it.
440
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:18,402
[judges groan]
441
00:21:18,485 --> 00:21:20,445
-Oh!
-[gallery whooping]
442
00:21:22,489 --> 00:21:25,701
[Mikey] Yes, cut that elephant's ass off.
443
00:21:28,036 --> 00:21:29,204
Look at that.
444
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:31,248
Oh, that's cake!
445
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:34,418
[Dan] You guys are really artists.
446
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:35,669
That is wild.
447
00:21:35,752 --> 00:21:38,213
-[Brittany] That's impressive.
-That's amazing.
448
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,424
All right, well done, Hemu.
You fooled the judges.
449
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:42,134
Thank you so much. Thank you, guys.
450
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:44,303
-Yeah!
-[Hemu] It means a lot. Thank you.
451
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,724
Okay, judges, are you ready
for our next baker?
452
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:51,268
-Yes!
-Her name is… Thank you, Dan!
453
00:21:51,351 --> 00:21:53,437
-[Dan laughs]
-[Mikey] Her name is Sam.
454
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,896
She made a chess set.
455
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,691
Which sounds insane.
456
00:21:57,774 --> 00:22:00,027
All right, Cake Wall, spin!
457
00:22:02,571 --> 00:22:06,241
All right, judges, five chess sets
are on their way around right now.
458
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,910
But only one of them is cake!
459
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:11,496
Let's see if you can find it.
460
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,376
Your time starts right now.
461
00:22:17,461 --> 00:22:18,962
-[Brittany] Come on!
-[Heidi] God.
462
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:20,881
[Dan] I don't understand what's happening.
463
00:22:21,381 --> 00:22:23,258
One is cake! I think One is cake.
464
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:25,093
-[Brittany] Why?
-[Dan] I don't know!
465
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,180
Two is cake because they were like,
"I'm gonna do the whole thing."
466
00:22:28,263 --> 00:22:30,515
Yeah, above and beyond?
I think Three is cake.
467
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:32,559
[Mikey] Ten seconds.
468
00:22:34,394 --> 00:22:37,647
[Heidi] There's obviously silver on Four.
So, it's not that.
469
00:22:37,731 --> 00:22:40,734
Wait, what about Five?
There's no pieces on Five.
470
00:22:40,817 --> 00:22:42,402
Why are there no pieces on Five?
471
00:22:42,486 --> 00:22:44,571
[Brittany] Four looks
like someone ate half of 'em.
472
00:22:44,654 --> 00:22:45,655
[Dan] One, 'cause--
473
00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:47,616
-Three, two, one.
-[judges yell]
474
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,618
-Lock it in! [yells]
-[bell dinging]
475
00:22:50,285 --> 00:22:53,246
[Mikey softly] Time's up.
That was intense.
476
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:56,124
You guys went with Two.
477
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,126
All right. Let's see how you did.
478
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:00,879
-Are you confident in your decision?
-No.
479
00:23:00,962 --> 00:23:02,214
-[Brittany laughs]
-Yup.
480
00:23:02,297 --> 00:23:04,049
-[Dan] No.
-I am, in my decision.
481
00:23:04,132 --> 00:23:05,467
This was all me.
482
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:07,636
You went with your own answer?!
483
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,222
Heidi went rogue!
484
00:23:10,305 --> 00:23:13,225
I did. I decided I wanted Number Two.
485
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:16,561
I don't think either judge agreed with me.
486
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:19,231
-This show is tearing our family apart.
-[laughing]
487
00:23:19,314 --> 00:23:21,108
You locked in Number Two.
488
00:23:21,191 --> 00:23:24,569
Or, should I say,
Heidi locked in Number Two?
489
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:26,738
-[Brittany giggles]
-So, let's see.
490
00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:28,949
Sam, it comes down to this.
491
00:23:29,533 --> 00:23:32,452
If this is cake, you will be eliminated.
492
00:23:32,536 --> 00:23:35,664
If it's not,
you could be up for the win today
493
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:38,041
and move on to the finale.
494
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,336
So, we need to ask one question.
495
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:45,173
Is it cake?
496
00:23:46,007 --> 00:23:47,592
[exhales] I'm nervous.
497
00:23:48,176 --> 00:23:49,094
[clears throat]
498
00:23:49,177 --> 00:23:50,804
[tense music playing]
499
00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:54,808
-[judges groaning]
-It is not cake!
500
00:23:55,392 --> 00:23:57,436
[cheering]
501
00:23:58,812 --> 00:23:59,771
Dang.
502
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:02,816
-Congrats, Sam! You deceived our judges.
-Thank you.
503
00:24:02,899 --> 00:24:04,234
That means you're up for the win,
504
00:24:04,317 --> 00:24:08,905
and you could be battling it out
against Andrew and April in the finale.
505
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:12,576
All right, well, Sam, please come up here
and reveal your cake.
506
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:13,493
Okay.
507
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,829
I have knives everywhere.
508
00:24:15,912 --> 00:24:18,290
I'll be so impressed if it's Number Five.
509
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:20,917
-It's not Five.
-[laughing]
510
00:24:21,001 --> 00:24:21,960
It's not Five.
511
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,590
We're going to group counseling
after this.
512
00:24:26,673 --> 00:24:28,717
I feel very unheard in this moment.
513
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,511
-[Dan] Yeah. Oh my God.
-[Brittany] There you go.
514
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:35,182
That is a chess cake.
515
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:37,100
-[clapping]
-[Mikey] Beautiful cut!
516
00:24:37,184 --> 00:24:40,770
You guys tricked us too hard on this one.
I don't agree with the show.
517
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:43,315
-[Dan] Yeah, yeah.
-[bakers laughing]
518
00:24:43,398 --> 00:24:46,359
And now it's time
for our final baker, Dessiree.
519
00:24:46,443 --> 00:24:50,363
Dessiree made something
we've all seen before, rubber duckies.
520
00:24:50,447 --> 00:24:51,656
[Heidi] Oh, fun.
521
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:54,618
All right. Cake Wall, spin!
522
00:24:56,244 --> 00:24:58,371
Judges, you're
about to see five cake stands.
523
00:24:58,455 --> 00:25:00,415
Four of them hold rubber duckies.
524
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:03,376
One of them has duckies made of cake.
525
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:06,630
Try and find them, if you dare.
526
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:10,675
All right, your time starts now!
527
00:25:11,426 --> 00:25:12,969
[Heidi] Oh my God!
528
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:15,388
A hundred percent, it's One! No question!
529
00:25:15,472 --> 00:25:18,934
-[Heidi] A hundred percent, One?
-[Brittany] I think I might agree.
530
00:25:21,978 --> 00:25:23,813
[Heidi groans] I wanna pick Three!
531
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:25,690
[Mikey] Ten seconds.
532
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,443
[Heidi] Four is so shiny.
533
00:25:30,111 --> 00:25:32,447
[Brittany] Number Five,
you can see through it.
534
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,491
I think it's plastic. Rule that out.
535
00:25:34,574 --> 00:25:36,826
We both think it's One, Heidi!
Don't do this again!
536
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:38,286
But I have the power!
537
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,748
-Three, two, one.
-Four is shiny, but it is One.
538
00:25:41,831 --> 00:25:43,291
[bell dinging]
539
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:44,709
[Mikey] Time is up.
540
00:25:44,793 --> 00:25:46,878
All right, judges. You chose Number One.
541
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:50,924
-Oh my God. That was funny.
-[Heidi sighs]
542
00:25:51,007 --> 00:25:53,677
There was some division, on the ends.
543
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,304
Dan, Brittany, you guys
were saying One. Heidi--
544
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,224
I was saying Four, because it's so shiny.
545
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:03,436
-I think that's baker shine technology.
-[Brittany] Definitely baker shine.
546
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,232
All right, should we see,
just to put Heidi at ease?
547
00:26:07,315 --> 00:26:08,316
Yep.
548
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,484
[tense music playing]
549
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:15,574
[squeaking]
550
00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:17,492
-[laughing]
-[Brittany] That scared me.
551
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:19,995
-[squeaking]
-Could still be cake!
552
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:21,329
[laughing]
553
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:22,247
[squeaking]
554
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:26,251
That's the saddest rubber ducky squeak
I've ever heard.
555
00:26:26,334 --> 00:26:28,461
[imitates whining squeak]
556
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:32,090
In Heidi's defense,
it could be the little duck is the cake.
557
00:26:32,173 --> 00:26:33,800
-[Heidi] Yes.
-[squeaking]
558
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:35,677
[laughing]
559
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:38,513
You selected Number One.
560
00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:39,848
Yeah.
561
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:43,059
Brittany, Dan.
You guys were all-in on this one.
562
00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:46,313
-Till the end. Besties.
-Heidi, can you take a step back, please?
563
00:26:47,105 --> 00:26:49,065
I have nothing to do with this.
564
00:26:49,149 --> 00:26:51,526
If someone goes home, it's you two.
565
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:52,444
Thank you.
566
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:57,824
All right, Dessiree. If these duckies
are rubber and squeaky,
567
00:26:57,907 --> 00:26:59,326
you're still in the game.
568
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:02,996
If they're cake, you will be
eliminated from the competition.
569
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:05,206
So, let's find out.
570
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:06,833
Is it cake?
571
00:27:06,916 --> 00:27:08,126
[tense music playing]
572
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:09,544
All right.
573
00:27:12,672 --> 00:27:13,506
Ooh.
574
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:14,591
That is cake.
575
00:27:14,674 --> 00:27:17,218
-That's cake.
-[Brittany] That's what I'm talking about.
576
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,511
-[Heidi] Oh.
-[Brittany] Ooh.
577
00:27:18,595 --> 00:27:21,056
-[Dan] Ooh. Wow.
-[Heidi] Ooh, it looks good.
578
00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:22,265
[Mikey] It is cake.
579
00:27:22,349 --> 00:27:23,266
Oh.
580
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:25,185
-[April] Dessi.
-[Justin] She did well.
581
00:27:26,895 --> 00:27:28,855
-[Heidi] Woo-hoo-hoo!
-[Mikey] Dessiree!
582
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:30,815
Lo siento.
583
00:27:30,899 --> 00:27:31,816
Mi amor.
584
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:34,819
I'm sorry. You're no longer
in the competition
585
00:27:34,903 --> 00:27:36,821
and won't move on to the finale.
586
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:40,283
But you should be incredibly proud
of the cakes you've made.
587
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,327
-I am.
-[Mikey] You're insanely talented.
588
00:27:42,410 --> 00:27:44,829
I love you. You're amazing.
589
00:27:44,913 --> 00:27:47,248
I know our judges
would love to have a taste.
590
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:50,460
So, why don't you come up here
and cut them a slice.
591
00:27:50,543 --> 00:27:52,504
And tell us about the flavors.
592
00:27:52,587 --> 00:27:57,592
So, this is a vanilla cake,
with a cookies and cream buttercream.
593
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,512
With little chunky brownies on it.
594
00:28:00,595 --> 00:28:04,432
-And edible cookie dough, chocolate chips.
-[Brittany] Tastes like ice cream.
595
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:06,935
-Thank you so much. There we go.
-You're welcome.
596
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:08,436
[Heidi] Mm.
597
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,397
-So good.
-Oh wow.
598
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,023
Your daughter's so lucky.
599
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:13,066
[Mikey] Aw.
600
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:15,819
I liked that there was
the cookie dough in there.
601
00:28:15,902 --> 00:28:19,781
That actually reminded me
of a Ben & Jerry's ice cream, but cake.
602
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:22,409
Dessiree, what did the competition
mean to you?
603
00:28:22,492 --> 00:28:27,622
I feel proud. And show my daughter
that every dream, you can get it.
604
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,625
-She can be very proud.
-Yes. I know she's proud already.
605
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,252
You were fantastic.
606
00:28:32,335 --> 00:28:34,045
-Good job, Dessiree.
-[whooping]
607
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:35,714
[Mikey] Awesome.
608
00:28:35,797 --> 00:28:36,923
Amazing.
609
00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:40,677
All right, well,
Hemu and Sam, congratulations.
610
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,179
-You made incredible cakes.
-[whooping, clapping]
611
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,890
And, judges, in case you forgot,
612
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:51,688
the winner of today's competition will be
our last baker to move on to the finale
613
00:28:51,771 --> 00:28:55,650
for a chance to win $50,000.
614
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:59,779
So, it all comes down
to the taste and details.
615
00:28:59,863 --> 00:29:02,198
Cake Wall, spin around.
616
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:09,289
All right, judges. Go to your cakes.
617
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:12,834
All right, Hemu, can you tell the judges
about the flavors?
618
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:17,464
[Hemu] It's a chocolate cake
with, uh, raspberry-chocolate ganache,
619
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:21,134
raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream,
and chocolate.
620
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,721
-It tastes like marshmallowy.
-Yeah.
621
00:29:24,804 --> 00:29:27,807
It tastes like the chocolate
from, like, a giant Easter bunny.
622
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,142
Mm. Yeah.
623
00:29:29,225 --> 00:29:31,686
It's very summery. That raspberry.
624
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,229
-Mm-hm.
-Mm!
625
00:29:33,313 --> 00:29:35,607
-[Brittany] Very delicious.
-[Heidi] It's so good!
626
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:40,028
There's so much flavor
in this elephant belly. It's delicious.
627
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:44,199
[Dan] The little slashes.
It adds such a realism.
628
00:29:44,282 --> 00:29:46,159
I'm still thinking this is a toy.
629
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:49,412
-This is not a cake at all. Even close.
-It definitely looks plastic.
630
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,957
[Mikey] All right, Sam,
tell the judges about your cake.
631
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:57,295
[Sam] Okay, so I did a strawberry
toaster strudel cake.
632
00:29:57,378 --> 00:30:00,882
It's strawberry cake with cream cheese,
sliced strawberries.
633
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:03,343
-There's, like, some crispy crunch pearls…
-Mmm!
634
00:30:03,426 --> 00:30:06,012
…homemade shortbread,
strawberry toaster strudels.
635
00:30:06,596 --> 00:30:08,056
-[Brittany] Mm!
-Oh my God.
636
00:30:08,139 --> 00:30:09,516
[Dan] It's so delicious.
637
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:12,560
I love the ratio of cake to cream.
638
00:30:13,102 --> 00:30:16,022
-[Brittany] That is delicious!
-[Sam] Get a strawberry bite.
639
00:30:16,105 --> 00:30:19,901
Yeah. And then, yeah,
the board looks incredible.
640
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:23,404
[Dan] The checker detail's amazing.
It really looks like wood.
641
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:25,281
-Yeah.
-I don't know how she did that.
642
00:30:25,365 --> 00:30:28,952
So, the whole thing's a mix
of hand-painting and airbrush.
643
00:30:29,035 --> 00:30:30,829
-Okay.
-I wanna double-dip so bad.
644
00:30:31,704 --> 00:30:33,915
-This is cool. What we've done.
-This is awesome.
645
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:35,792
-Yeah.
-Yeah! Checkmate!
646
00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:37,293
[laughing]
647
00:30:37,377 --> 00:30:40,672
All right, judges, you've gotten
a closer look at these cakes.
648
00:30:40,755 --> 00:30:42,966
You've eaten a lot of them,
649
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:46,135
but only one of these bakers
can move on to the finale,
650
00:30:46,219 --> 00:30:50,682
so now it's time
to deliberate and decide who it is.
651
00:30:50,765 --> 00:30:53,434
[whispering] I'm thinking
it's definitely chess board.
652
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:56,354
-I mean, I think so, too.
-[Brittany] What do you think?
653
00:30:56,437 --> 00:31:00,358
But the elephant looked more like a toy.
654
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:02,277
[inhales deeply]
655
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,194
This is it.
656
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:05,029
I hate this part.
657
00:31:05,613 --> 00:31:06,990
-It blew my mind.
-Yeah.
658
00:31:07,073 --> 00:31:09,826
And also, up close,
it still looks like a toy,
659
00:31:09,909 --> 00:31:13,246
except for the cake that we see and ate.
660
00:31:13,329 --> 00:31:14,998
-But it looks like a toy.
-[Dan] Right.
661
00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:17,834
Start doing, like, jumping jacks.
662
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:21,379
I think, visually,
that's a more insane mission.
663
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:22,297
But I mean,
664
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:25,008
-the taste of that one was very good.
-[Brittany] I know.
665
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:28,887
Judges, you've taken
a closer look at the cakes.
666
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:30,471
You've tasted it.
667
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:34,225
You maimed one, destroyed another.
668
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:38,605
But it's time for a decision.
669
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:45,403
So, um, this is so hard because both
Hemu's elephant and Sam's chess board
670
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:47,405
visually are stunning.
671
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:48,489
They're total toys.
672
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,408
They're, like, so delicious.
673
00:31:50,491 --> 00:31:51,951
It's a super hard decision.
674
00:31:52,035 --> 00:31:55,121
But the cake that we picked
675
00:31:55,204 --> 00:31:59,000
on taste and toy-ability…
676
00:31:59,083 --> 00:32:00,877
[tense music playing]
677
00:32:02,837 --> 00:32:04,672
…is Hemu's elephant.
678
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,717
-[clapping]
-[Mikey] Hemu!
679
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,136
-[upbeat music playing]
-[whooping]
680
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,598
Aw! Congratulations, Hemu!
681
00:32:13,681 --> 00:32:15,558
-You just won $5,000.
-Thank you so much.
682
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:17,560
And you are the last baker
683
00:32:17,644 --> 00:32:20,813
to join Andrew and April in the finale
684
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:25,944
-to face off for $50,000!
-[bakers clapping, whooping]
685
00:32:26,027 --> 00:32:27,195
How do you feel?
686
00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:28,446
I really feel great.
687
00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:33,242
Coming this far and presenting myself
in front of all you guys. I'm grateful.
688
00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:34,786
Thank you so much.
689
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:38,373
All right, bakers,
let's show our amazing judges some love.
690
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:42,210
-Thank you, Brittany, Heidi, and Dan!
-[game show music playing]
691
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:44,003
Cake Wall, spin!
692
00:32:44,087 --> 00:32:46,547
Take these beautiful people away.
You made it!
693
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:48,716
I have vertigo. This is not good for me.
694
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,634
Bye!
695
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,552
-[Mikey] It's darkness.
-[Heidi] Bye!
696
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:54,514
-[Heidi] Where are we going? No!
-[Dan] Help!
697
00:32:54,597 --> 00:32:56,766
-[judges yelling]
-[Dan] Oh my God! Oh my God!
698
00:32:56,849 --> 00:32:59,602
The screams of the unknown.
699
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:03,314
Sam, you worked so hard.
How are you doing?
700
00:33:03,398 --> 00:33:07,110
Honestly, just happy to be here.
Everybody's, like, so talented.
701
00:33:07,193 --> 00:33:08,027
[Mikey] Yes.
702
00:33:08,111 --> 00:33:10,863
And Hemu totally deserves to move on.
703
00:33:10,947 --> 00:33:12,532
-Aw.
-I'm excited to see the finale.
704
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,284
-You're amazing. You're so amazing.
-Aw!
705
00:33:15,368 --> 00:33:19,372
Sam and Dessiree, I'm sorry.
You know I hate this part. It sucks.
706
00:33:19,455 --> 00:33:22,750
-[Hemu] You guys are the best.
-You guys are insanely talented.
707
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,086
But you've been
eliminated from the competition.
708
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:26,921
I'm very proud of you guys.
709
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:30,258
What you do is far beyond my knowledge.
710
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:32,135
And it's truly incredible.
711
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:35,805
But now, please go have a seat
in the gallery.
712
00:33:35,888 --> 00:33:38,558
[clapping]
713
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:41,728
All right, Hemu.
714
00:33:41,811 --> 00:33:44,731
You are the final baker
headed into the finale.
715
00:33:45,231 --> 00:33:48,359
And the last person who gets to do this.
716
00:33:48,443 --> 00:33:52,238
It's time for Cake or Cash?
717
00:33:57,785 --> 00:33:59,829
I always wanted to play this game.
718
00:33:59,912 --> 00:34:01,497
Let me put on my glasses first.
719
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:02,540
Ooh!
720
00:34:02,623 --> 00:34:03,750
She's suited up!
721
00:34:04,959 --> 00:34:07,503
She went from Superman to Clark Kent mode.
722
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:10,006
-[laughs]
-Cake Wall, show us your worst!
723
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:15,178
On the other side of the cake wall
are two piggy banks.
724
00:34:15,261 --> 00:34:16,137
Hm.
725
00:34:16,637 --> 00:34:19,599
[Mikey] One of those piggy banks
has a whole bunch of money stashed in it.
726
00:34:19,682 --> 00:34:21,017
And the other one, Hemu,
727
00:34:21,684 --> 00:34:22,602
is cake.
728
00:34:23,144 --> 00:34:25,813
If you guess the cake, you get the cash.
729
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:31,360
You have 15 seconds
to determine which one is cake.
730
00:34:31,444 --> 00:34:33,654
And your time starts now!
731
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:35,573
-[tense music playing]
-[timer beeps]
732
00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:41,996
[sighs] It's tough.
733
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:42,955
[Mikey] Yeah.
734
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:47,293
[timer beeping]
735
00:34:47,376 --> 00:34:48,878
Five seconds, Hemu.
736
00:34:49,378 --> 00:34:51,214
-[beeping faster]
-Gotta lock it in.
737
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,049
Lock it in! Three, two, one.
738
00:34:53,132 --> 00:34:54,300
[rapid beeping]
739
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,384
[bell dinging]
740
00:34:57,011 --> 00:34:57,845
[baker whoops]
741
00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,180
[bakers clapping]
742
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:02,725
[Mikey] Okay, Hemu. You went with
Number One. Tell me why that one.
743
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:05,144
[Hemu] No idea. [laughs]
744
00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:08,439
So, the scientific method
of just guessing?
745
00:35:08,523 --> 00:35:11,943
-Yeah.
-I mean, that's what I would have to do.
746
00:35:12,527 --> 00:35:13,820
Those look identical.
747
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:16,155
[groans] My heart's beating.
748
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,075
All right, Hemu.
Let's see if you're right.
749
00:35:19,158 --> 00:35:20,993
-I'm rooting for you.
-Okay.
750
00:35:21,077 --> 00:35:22,453
[Hemu, Nina chuckling]
751
00:35:22,537 --> 00:35:24,539
[suspenseful music playing]
752
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:26,457
Hemu, you went with Number One.
753
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:30,795
If this is cake, you win another $5,000.
754
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:33,965
-So, I ask you…
-Yes?
755
00:35:34,048 --> 00:35:35,424
…is it cake?
756
00:35:35,508 --> 00:35:36,425
It should be.
757
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:38,344
I agree.
758
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:40,638
[Mikey exhales]
759
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,432
[tense music playing]
760
00:35:45,017 --> 00:35:45,852
[Hemu] Yes!
761
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:49,147
-[upbeat music plays]
-[clapping, cheering]
762
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:51,774
It's cake!
763
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:55,987
Hemu, you just won another $5,000!
764
00:35:56,070 --> 00:35:58,281
That means you're walking away today
765
00:35:58,364 --> 00:36:01,117
with a grand total of $10,000!
766
00:36:02,118 --> 00:36:04,829
-Clark Kent with the glasses.
-[Hemu] Thank you!
767
00:36:04,912 --> 00:36:07,165
You're heading right into the finale
768
00:36:07,248 --> 00:36:10,710
to challenge Andrew and April.
769
00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:12,086
It's on!
770
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,672
But only one of you
can be the grand champion
771
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:17,842
and take home that $50,000 prize.
772
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:21,929
Will it be Andrew, the green man,
773
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,517
April, the titan of Toronto…
774
00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:30,229
-Ooh!
-…or will it be our newest addition Hemu,
775
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,983
the master sculptor of tiny elephants?
776
00:36:34,066 --> 00:36:36,277
-[laughing]
-I'll work on a better nickname.
777
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,195
Whoa!
778
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:42,825
[yells] Warn me before
you move the cake wall!
779
00:36:42,909 --> 00:36:45,536
[laughing, whooping]
780
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,205
Mikey, we love you!
