Original subtitles

In twenty twenty two,

millions of people sat in rooms like this

and questioned their reality.

Is this cake?

Is this cake? Is that cake? Am I cake? Yeah.

Once again, we've assembled ten of the best

hyper realistic cake artists in the world.

I'm a little bit of rock

a little bit of Mary Poppins.

You don't want none of this, babe.

Opportunities like this don't come

opportunities like this don't come too often to people

I'm going in the oven.

Their goal is to fool our judges. Oh my god,

This is crazy.

to take their share of a prize pot of one

one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.

There will be excitement.

Get out of my way, boom, laughter.

Cut it up, daddy, drama.

Give us more time.

My face will haunt you.

Most importantly,

There will be cake.

Hmm, blueberry.

Season two, baby.

Ah ha ha ha ha.

and most of all,

Oh, hello.

Welcome to Is It Cake?

Oh.

I'm Mikey Day.

Look at you guys.

The new class.

You're here because you're the Michael Jordans

who bake cakes that look like everyday objects.

Goats.

Your skills could win you over

one hundred thousand dollars, that's a lot.

Are you guys ready to get started? Yes, let's do it.

All ten of you are about to play Find That Cake.

This will determine

which five of you, yes, I said five.

We'll head to the kitchen to compete

for up to ten thousand dollars, but

Here is a very big butt.

Every episode,

one of you will be eliminated.

By the end of this season, the last baker

the last baker standing will be crowned the is it cake champion.

It's time to find out which five of you will bake today.

We're putting your cake radar to the test like never before.

You probably noticed that the cake wall has not moved.

There's a reason for that.

The living room you see behind me

There's cake in there, oh my god.

and you have to find it.

You will have twenty seconds to

to write your answer on your tablet.

The first five bakers to find a cake will compete today.

Your time starts now.

Oh.

I don't know that pillow looks sus to me.

Fifteen seconds.

Five, four, three, two, one, time's up.

OK class,

Let's see how these beginners did.

Sorry, my remote tissues.

Um, oh.

Here's my large knife. So, Kayla, yes, you picked.

the tissue box.

I feel like tissue would be like going in the wind.

Anyone else picked the tissue box?

Oh.

It's cake.

What looks off to you about it?

So the tissue looks a little too solid.

I know solid tissue

I wouldn't want to blow my nose with that if it was solid.

I'm just saying.

Let's see if these tissues are really solid.

It's the first time I say this this season, is it cake?

Oh my god.

Let's go, solid tissues.

Don't cut it, cut it.

Oh no.

It's not cake.

Solid and crunchy tissues.

Okay.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

About this beautiful orchid.

Did anyone choose the orchid?

No.

Just bite it.

Just for fun, let's see if this is cake.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Really?

Did that blow your mind? Oh my god.

My glasses aren't helping me, I know.

Hopefully for your sake,

there's more than one cake in here.

Anyone here pick the candle.

One, two, three, four, five.

Could this get our five?

This is a big cut, I'm nervous.

What about this candle to you, says Kate?

It's not quite straight.

Oh oh oh.

You can still have a lot of cake.

You can still have a lot of cake.

Is this a candle cake?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

That's K.

Give me some of that.

There's still cake in here.

Oh.

What?

Any guesses?

Yeah.

Auto men.

Auto men.

Auto men.

Auto men.

Auto men.

Automen.

Did any of you pick this? No, no.

Let's see, is it cake?

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh.

Oh.

It's cake. Oh, look at that rug.

I eat things off the ground.

It's actually delicious.

Oh, oh, oh.

No one hides from us, Autumn men.

Boom! All right, Liz, Dania, Miko Cortarius, and Jared.

You found a cake.

so the five of you will be competing

today for up to ten thousand dollars.

The rest of you

please head over to the gallery.

Hang out, braid each other's hair, gossip, don't worry.

Don't worry, you will be baking in the next episode.

Now you can relax, all right, for the lucky five.

Now it's time to play. Is it cake?

as a reward for being the only five to find the cake,

you get to choose what you make.

Yes, anything.

The power is in your hands.

Whatever you guys want to make.

It must be something that is personal to you, okay, but

you only get one decoy.

OK.

Oh oh oh.

Oh.

Oh my god.

Wow.

To recap, one cake,

one decoy.

That's so much harder.

That's bad.

We have flipped the script.

Wow.

You have.

Yeah, turn the script back over.

Ha ha ha.

OK, bakers.

You'll have ten hours to complete your cake.

Are you ready?

It's time to go to bed.

Oh, you guys can go to the kitchen.

OK, how much can I carry in one go around?

I'm so frazzled right now.

Danielle, tell us what you're doing.

I'm making something that my grandparents

used to sell at the State Fair of Virginia.

They are slippers that look like big puffy sneakers.

When I was a little kid,

my grandparents worked up and

on the east coast at the fair.

They sold all kinds of novelty toys.

It reminds me of the times in my life that I

I feel like those times with my grandparents were so wonderful.

This bowl weighs like twenty pounds.

I'm making a brown sugar vanilla cake

chocolate ganache,

toasted coconut filling

and some coconut caramel cookies

which are also in the filling.

I smell that caramel.

smells really good.

I hope it's good.

I hope my cake will look good and taste good,

but I'm competing against Liz,

who literally wrote the book on baking. Hi Liz, hi guys.

Make good vibes.

What is she doing here?

I think I have some extracts to choose from.

I'm gonna do oil

that smells most like a lemon.

I know she has this.

She's Liz Merick.

like a teacher and mentor.

She's a walking encyclopedia for cake.

I started Sugar Geek Show, which is an

online cake decorating school.

I wrote a book on making realistic cakes.

and won a lot of awards.

I invented realistic sugar eyes with

ice melt to make realistic people.

When I saw this show, I thought

this is my show.

If I can't win this,

what am I even doing with my life, you know?

Hey Liz,

what are you making for your piece?

I'm making a dungeonous crab.

Oh, I'm from the Pacific Northwest.

and I grew up crabbing with my friends and family.

and I just thought that was like something

very nostalgic to growing up in Oregon.

I feel like lemon goes with

the theme I'm going with.

So I'm making some lemon cake.

I'm making a lemon buttermilk cake with

raspberry compotes and vanilla bean pastry cream.

It's so hard baking in a kitchen that's not mine.

I barely remember where the stuff is in my own kitchen.

Kate, get serious.

He didn't roll up his sleeves now.

He didn't roll up his sleeves.

Yow, my stuff over here, mixed.

It looks good too.

Yow.

Let me taste it.

I'll bring it to you outside.

Ha ha ha, oh, it's so good, oh my god.

Lisa told me my cake batter is good. Oh my god.

How old are you? Twenty one.

I didn't start baking until I was twenty-seven.

Just think how far ahead you are.

Portarius.

Mm-hmm.

Goat cake.

Yeah.

What are you making?

I'm making a chocolate cake with a

with a banana filling and a caramel drizzle.

Mmm.

OK.

I'm making a classic Sunday dinner cake with

fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy,

green beans,

and corn on the cob with butter.

So you go eat your dinner and you go

and get some dessert on the side.

This represents one from because it is

something that you will see every Sunday.

I eat all the food though.

I'm going in the oven

I'm putting stuff in the oven.

Kate goat in the oven.

What flavor cake are you making?

I'm making an orange-scented vanilla cake.

I'm making vanilla orange cake with a

mango curd and a dark chocolate ganache.

What's the design?

So I'm making my grandma's bright orange fiery red pot.

It matched her personality perfectly.

she would make a big pot of matzo ball soup, and every time

I feel really connected with her every time I cook with it.

What's inside the pot is what I'm going to do.

as if I was preparing to make borscht soup.

I'm going to make all the elements.

I'm making celery, masha, onions, and carrots.

So cool.

Matzah ball soup is so special to me.

It's kind of like my medicine.

I definitely learned to cook from my Nan.

Every meal she put on the table

was a part of her heart.

That's what cakes are.

Cakes are love.

cakes are joy.

When you give someone a cake,

and it's like an automatic smile.

Finally got cake in the oven.

Oh my god, you guys are all.

You all have cakes in the oven.

Don't worry.

I don't.

Miko, what are you making?

I'm making a basket of mangoes.

because the Philippines is known for our carabao mango.

She's never eaten a mango before.

Oh my god, you're missing half of your life.

You're missing half of your life.

Mangoes are a very big part of my childhood.

I was six or seven years old.

Our parents planted mango trees.

and every time they bear fruits,

we got a lot of baskets at home.

like baskets and baskets.

Miko, what are you doing?

I'm actually making ube cake.

which is like purple yam, which is

which is very common in the Philippines.

I'm making ube cake with coconut filling

filled with coconut and coconut buttercream.

My biggest concern about making this cake

making this cake is making the mangoes.

I need to make not just five mangoes,

I need to make at least ten mangoes to fill the basket.

Oh, oh, oh.

Hiing hiing.

I know you guys.

Hi.

Ah oh.

Oh my god.

Hiing hiing.

Guess what I have your decoys.

I just want to say

thank you for picking crabs.

because it smells like cake

and seafood in here. Come on up and pick your

Decoys, remember you only get one this time.

Oh my god, these look almost exactly like my Nana's pots.

It's making me so hungry, honestly.

I know Ryan, I'm gonna put me a piece in my microwave.

I like these guys, did it move?

It really moved.

It's still alive, wow.

How did they find multiple giant fuzzy shoes?

There's a really big demand for them.

Yeah, let's go to the fuzzy shoe store.

I've never been in any kind of competition.

I don't play sports.

The last competition I did

probably Scrabble with my grandpa.

I am a cake artist and a content creator.

I do everything at home.

I have a room in my house.

My mom has graciously allowed me to use for my cakes.

I have also taken up every other room in my house,

which I feel so bad about.

I'm sorry, mom.

Oh my gosh, those shoes are so fun.

I know I love them.

Look at that.

These cakes smell like heaven.

It's a little crummy over here.

Details are everything.

If I can't get the texture of the basket right,

it will be a disaster.

I don't wanna be the first person to go home.

Definitely not.

It will take me like a week to carve it by hand,

But if I have ten hours,

I'm using the putty to make a mold out of the basket.

Oh, that looks so good. Thank you.

It's so detailed.

I want it to look as natural as possible.

That's the reason why I will vary the

the layers and the shades of brown in it.

I'm rolling out my orange modeling chocolate

chocolate to completely wrap around this pot.

Jared hasn't looked up.

He is not paying attention to us.

He just doesn't want to talk to anyone.

I'm super focused.

I'm trying to paint my pot.

I'm spraying shellac on all the things.

trying to make this pot look as good as possible.

It's a straight-up marathon.

Crab cakes are delicious.

I've decided to use modeling

chocolate to cover my crab cake.

Then I can start adding the legs

claws and all the details.

It officially has nine legs.

We're almost there, baby.

We have a lot of sharp edges and

and bumps in very particular places.

I have just like this little wooden tool that's able to

to help me create these planes of the legs and the face.

I'm sculpting a crab, and it's just like looking back at me.

I still have many details to add to them.

imperfection is definitely needed

while creating these green beans,

because not every green bean is the same.

I have a little of everything going on.

I'm currently a senior at

Mississippi Valley State University.

In my freshman year,

I didn't want to be a typical college student.

so I started my cake business out of my dorm room.

I sold out on the first day.

and the next day my inbox was full.

I thought

I think I'm onto something here.

I just got a new idea.

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna go over them with like gelatin.

Uh huh.

to give it that wet look.

like they're fresh off the stove.

Uh-huh.

I want the green beans to look shiny.

So I take corn syrup and I kind of coat over.

and it's coming out pretty good.

Three hours left.

Three hours left, better hurry.

Oh my god.

Are you doing your flocking thing now? Yeah.

I'm attempting a new technique.

I take wafer paper, break it up,

and put it in a spice grinder.

and when you stick it to fondant,

it makes the fondant look like it's fuzzy.

This flocking is getting everywhere.

It's flocking ridiculous.

It's sticking to everything.

I'm spending too much time trying to fix this.

I could be spending time on more specific

details like the grommets and the shoelaces.

which I think are just as important as the texture.

It did come out at the last minute.

Yeah.

Two hours left.

Are you starting to make your mangoes?

Yes.

I've been an artist for thirty years.

Yes, thirty years, that's a long time.

These mangoes look incredible.

Look at these.

He's like layering on different

different colors and textures.

It looks like he's just sitting there

just dusting a raw mango.

My parents were opposed to the

me studying fine arts.

They actually wanted me to become a doctor.

My parents told me that there's no money in art,

but that's actually true.

So winning means a lot to me because

because finally I can make

my family proud.

Miko, they say we couldn't paint real fruit man.

Oh, you're over there cheating. I love it. Thank you.

I don't think I've ever been so excited

in my entire life.

I decided to use waver paper to create the onion

to try to get that natural realistic look.

I slightly spray infection glaze on the parts where

where the onion peel was peeled back for that real onion shine.

Wow, those onions look awesome.

Thank you, this guy's finished.

It feels like I'm gardening over here.

There's just so much detail on the celery that I'm gonna

I'm actually going to make different colors of modeling chocolate.

Wow, I nailed it.

I nailed it again, the exact color.

I'm really hoping that all the little elements

I create will fool the judges.

These wafer paper leaves are taking a long time.

but I know it's gonna be worth it. This is it.

Get it together, bakers.

There's one hour left, guys.

Is this helping your bake at all?

It really is.

Making the shape of a cone is difficult because

the corners on the cone are very specific.

but it looks a little too flat.

and I don't want it to look cartoonish.

because I know that the judges are going to

that it's a cake immediately.

You're working on this corn.

My god, it's too square.

Just making round pieces.

Look how round that is. opportunities like this don't come too often.

don't come too often to people where I'm from, knowing that there

knowing that there is an elimination, I feel like the stakes are very high.

I didn't come all the way from Mississippi for nothing.

I want that money. Hey, Liz.

I appreciate it, I love it.

I'm the cake goat.

and I'll call you cake goddess.

Oh, okay, okay, I love that.

Thirty minutes left.

Bakers put on that fondant,

modeling chocolate,

and the spray paint that you can eat cake stuff.

This is when it gets intense when

When they're finishing their cakes,

Oh no.

I'm okay.

Are you sure? Oh my god.

Did you see me take that fall?

Twitter is already reacting.

My favorite part of the show is when he fell.

Are you getting the shoelaces on? Yes, nice.

Five minutes left, I'm getting

I'm nervous for you.

I'm working at a frantic pace.

I'm worried that the depo will look totally

different from what I actually have.

but I'm like, get it done.

You have to get it all finished.

Liz, that looks amazing, honey.

Honey, thank you. Wow.

I'm mastering my manta making technique.

I think I got it.

One minute, don't panic.

Like the wind, meego, meego.

The cake is still shiny in spots.

which is the exact opposite of how I needed to look.

I decided to add water to the top of the corn

because I know that the details are important.

So I shape a piece of fondant and put it on top of the corn.

It will make it look like a real dinner plate.

Thirty seconds, bakers.

Do you have the glazes?

Five, four, three, two, one, time's up. Yeah, it's time to face the judges.

Bakers, you've completed your cakes

and you are ready to fake out today's judges.

Let's meet the people who stand between you and your dream

winning up to ten thousand dollars today.

possibly making it all the way to the finale where

you could be crowned the Cake Champion.

The star of Selling Sunset on Netflix.

Actor and host

Kristen Stause.

Love you.

How's the market, Krista?

It's slowing down.

Why do you think I'm here?

An actor and fashion designer.

And I'll say it.

your favorite workaholic.

Blake Anderson.

Wow, that's cool. That's cool. Okay.

And I'm told

you're famously anti-pie.

Yeah, I'm more of a cake guy.

I just, I'm, I'm not into pies.

It's too much.

I was gonna say vegetables,

but I guess it's fruit.

but it's the same thing.

He has a Netflix special called Immigrant.

actor and comedian Masood Jabrani.

I went to your Instagram, yes.

to see what you were doing.

So many videos.

You're shirtless.

It's like a fitness instructor's Instagram.

It's all angles, you know.

Because I'm getting older now.

So you don't want to show this area, right?

So the cake will go here,

but not here, right?

Alright, judges.

Here's what's going to happen.

You are about to try to find five

You might find all five,

or you might find none.

but in the end,

you will decide today's winner

and which baker will be eliminated from the competition.

First up, we have three incredible bakers, Liz, Daniya, and Miko.

Incredible, we are going to give you thirty seconds to

try to find three cakes and lock in your answers

and lock in your answers on the keypad in front of Blake.

Big responsibility, Blake.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm that guy.

Alright, cake wall.

I've missed you, please spin.

Judges, remember,

there are three cakes out there.

Let's see if you can find them.

Your time starts now.

What? Oh, god.

OK, I'm trying to think of how big real crabs are.

I think they're bigger.

You're right.

So two would be cake.

Twenty seconds, judges.

Let's go with two.

I want to choose two.

OK, we'll lock two in for sure.

OK, three or four.

It's impossible to tell.

Fifteen seconds, judges.

Four is cake.

I think three is OK.

because it's lower.

They look exactly the same.

I think three is

OK, I'll go with three.

OK, we gotta go fast.

shoes

The shoelaces.

What brand of shoes are those?

Five looks like cake,

Maybe six.

Six for sure.

Six for sure.

Five, four, three, two, one, time's up.

God, I love that part.

How do we feel?

Not good.

Hey judges.

Let's start with Liz.

You chose two. Why?

I blacked out.

I don't know.

Number one looks so perfect and beautiful that it

that it just seemed like it couldn't possibly be cake.

which feels like it would be hard to

to create a cake with so many bumps.

while this one is smoother.

Therefore, I think your choice was right, Blake.

Believe in yourself.

It wasn't my choice.

It was our choice.

Don't put the blame on me.

Well, let's find out.

if this is cake,

you are up for elimination today.

If it is not,

you are up for the win

and could take home up to ten thousand dollars.

So this is an important cut.

No, not cake.

It might be stale.

It's been sitting out for a while.

Liz, congratulations.

You are the first baker to fool the judges.

Tweet this for you.

Woo oh.

Look at that.

that is cake.

Woo oh.

Well done, Liz.

Let's go to meeto.

Yeah.

You guys pick three.

Tell me why, I'm already doubting it.

So I don't know.

I mean it has that shine on it.

So maybe, maybe we're right.

maybe that is cake.

If you look at number three,

there's not a lot of distance between the mangoes.

It feels like they're connected.

Therefore, thus,

That's definitely the connected cake, I'm thinking.

Let's find out if the judges were

or if they're going for two.

Is this cake?

Oh, look at that.

Hey, gray.

It looks like cake to me.

Yes.

There it is.

Wow.

I'm sorry, but

but you did so good though.

Thank you.

Judges, you were right.

it was a very bittersweet feeling.

because we were right,

but he's up for elimination.

It's you, like, yeah, sorry.

OK judges.

Let's go to Danielle.

You picked six.

Why?

I feel like six has, you know,

the shoelace,

which would be something you'd do to throw us off.

So initially I was thinking, well, that can't be

book that might be why it is cake.

and I just gave in to peer pressure.

So if you yell at me loud enough,

I will do what you say.

Okay, Danielle.

Are you ready?

Let's find out if it's cake.

Wait a second.

No, no, no, it's not cake.

Congratulations, Danielle.

you fooled the judge

and I just succumbed to peer pressure.

to win the competition with Liz. Well done.

Let's cut into this baby, shall we?

Oh, look at that, guys. Oh.

That is a gorgeous cake.

Well done, Danielle.

How are you feeling, you?

Jesus took the wheel.

that's all I have to say.

I looked over at you,

you were like

I know, okay judges.

we have two more bakers who are about to try to fool you.

Next up, we have Cortarius and Jared.

we will give you twenty seconds.

because there are only two cakes to find this time.

Cake wall spin.

Jared made a pot of matzah ball soup with all the fixings.

and Portierius made Mississippi Sunday supper meat and

and three sides. Okay, wow.

Remember, two of the objects are real

and two are fakes made of cake. Oh my.

Let's see if you can find both of them.

Your time starts now.

Here we go, my god, Jesus, metal, how we, uh.

What about number one and number two?

That was hard.

I know that a lot of work went into that.

It's too hard to tell between one and two.

Look at the butter.

It's all about the butter.

Ten seconds for judges.

Oh, oh, oh, I think four, I think four for sure.

I think four is cake.

Just the colors, the way that the way the

The way the vegetables stick into the pan, lock it in five seconds.

What about one and two? One is cake.

Time is up.

Four, I think.

OK, one.

Wow, that was crazy.

I hope you got me in slow motion

that was a buzzer beater.

OK judges,

Let's start with Cortarius.

You picked number one.

We did.

Tell me why it was the butter for me.

The screams cake.

Krshelle, what do you think?

I have no confidence in this Mickey, I'm sorry.

I kind of agree with Krshelle.

I think we should have gone two.

I'm standing by one.

I love my decision.

and I can't wait to laugh in everyone's face.

Alright judges,

let's find out if you were right.

Oh, it could still be chicken.

It's cake, that's chicken.

Wow.

Well done, well done, well done.

I'm sorry, Cortorius, that means you are up for

today along with Niko, but this is amazing.

Judges, what gave it away? I think I know, Blake, the butter.

looks like the butter on that one is melting.

That's it.

It's just a tell for me.

Let's cut this butter. Wow.

Look at that butter, baby, look at that.

You were right, look at that, it's delicious.

Portarius, you did an incredible job, my friend. Thank you.

Thank you. Let's move on to Jared, judges.

you picked number four.

why did you pick this one?

I'm super confident in number four

because I feel the celery is kind of sticking to the

and the onion on number three just looks very real.

Look at this, what's so confusing.

The onions on number four look so real, yes.

Number three looks too shiny,

but then the carrots on four look

like cake, and then the carrots on three

so I just judge the whole plate.

Judges, let's see how you did. Come on now.

There's a lot of talk of onions in this one.

So I'm going to cut the onion first. Oh, let's see.

if it's an onion or a cake onion.

Oh, that seems easy. Oh, my god, oh, it's cake.

Jared, I'm sorry, buddy.

The judges found your cake.

which means you're up for elimination.

along with Miko and Cortarius.

All right, let's see more of this very elaborate cake.

So I'll do my best.

OK.

Oh.

Oh.

It's cake.

Jared, well done.

This is an incredible cake.

Thank you.

I'm very proud of you, my friend.

OK judges.

you're about to finally taste all of these amazing cakes.

how good they look

and how good they taste

is how you will decide who will be today's winner.

and which baker will be eliminated.

Oh, OK.

Judges, please come up and inspect and taste the cakes. Wow.

Wow, that's a cake, huh?

Alright, let's start with the bakers up for the win.

Liz, tell the judges about your cake.

The cake is actually lemon-flavored with

with raspberry filling and crab cake.

I'm just kidding, it's

It's vanilla pastry cream. Oh my, that's really good.

That's really good.

That's really good.

The like the paint job.

Is that what we call it the paint job? That's good. Good job.

It's awesome.

I'm gonna touch it.

Can I touch it?

You can touch it.

It feels real.

This is so impressive.

You did such an amazing job.

Thank you so much, Danielle.

please tell the judges about the flavors in your cake.

It's a brown sugar cake.

and it has salted caramel,

chocolate ganache, and a toasted coconut and cookie filling.

Wow.

It's like a shack shoe, big bite, oh my god.

It feels real.

The coconut adds a good texture, yeah.

and it has those salty accents

which I really like a lot, thank you.

Look at the texture on the shoe leather. Yeah, that's what got it.

You did a great job. Yeah, thank you.

OK judges, please move on to the cakes you found.

Oh my god, Miko.

Tell the judges about the flavors in your cake.

The Philippines is famous for our Philippine mangoes.

We have the sweetest mangoes in the world.

It's ube.

Oh my god, you guessed it.

If it's not Philippine enough,

I added coconut and white chocolate filling.

I love that your culture is represented.

You not only made me want to eat your cake,

but also made me want to go to the Philippines.

That's amazing.

Thank you.

Portarius,

Will you please tell them about the flavors in your cake?

Pack your bags.

Let's take a trip to the Mississippi Delta.

It's a chocolate cake with a banana filling,

with a caramel drizzle.

and we call it Banana Split.

Get down in there.

and there's that butter.

The butter looks amazing.

You gotta eat that butter.

Wow, there are so many flavors going on here.

It's really impressive to get up close to this.

Yeah.

Last but not least, Jared,

tell the judges about the flavors in your cake.

I made a vanilla orange cake with a dark

dark chocolate ganache and mango curd.

This is actually a replication of my Nana's

that she left to me when she passed.

Hmm, what's the Matzo bread?

What's the Matzo bread?

Yeah, like.

The matzo is made of gum paste.

It looks so real, it's crazy.

I feel like she'd be very proud of you.

You did an amazing job.

Thank you.

Yeah, this is great.

So good.

Amazing.

Hey judges,

You've tasted all the cakes we have.

so take a minute and deliberate which

which of our bakers will be our winner

and which will be eliminated.

I'm still like astonished that's not an actual crab.

These shoelaces.

Yeah.

actually have the texture.

I don't even know how someone does that.

I could eat that all day long.

I just wish the mangoes

a little more realistic.

So much of this cake is in the very small details.

I wasn't a big fan of the flavor of the cake.

He was really able to make a delicious cake.

I think if he had been able to put that celery in the pan,

it might have been harder to pick.

OK judges,

Have you reached a decision?

Yes, we have.

Yes, we have.

Please write down the name of the baker

the baker who will be eliminated.

Alright judges,

let me tell you the good news.

Who is our winner?

It was tough.

because they were both delicious.

They were amazing.

The truth is

one of them tricked us earlier.

and then we came up close

and it was still tricking us.

and tastes amazing.

And the winner is

Live live.

Congratulations.

You just won five thousand dollars, not bad.

which means you will move on to our cake or cash round

where you could win another five thousand dollars.

Right, Danielle.

you can head to the gallery.

Thank you, Sister Jin.

Okay, this is the hard part.

All of your cakes were amazing,

but unfortunately

one of you will not be moving on.

I'm sorry to say

Jared, you have been eliminated from the competition.

Miko and Cortarius,

please head over to the gallery.

You have been spared.

and you will live to bake another day.

Jared, you should be very proud.

you made an amazing cake.

Thank you.

I'm really proud of all the work I did.

I tried some techniques that I

that I literally have never done before.

Please join the judges on the cake wall.

My Nan really never saw any of the cakes I made,

but I really do think I made my Nan proud.

Thank you, Krshelle.

Lake and Maas,

You guys did a great job.

Let's give it up for our judges.

Wow.

You're right.

this thing is way faster than it looks.

Liz, we've reached my favorite part of the show.

Let's play

Cake or cash?

OK, Liz, you just won five thousand dollars, nice.

You're playing for a chance to win

another five thousand dollars.

No pressure.

Here we go, Liz.

I'm rooting for you.

On the other side of the cake wall are two safes.

One of those safes is filled with cash,

and the other safe is cake.

You guess the cake.

you get the cash.

You have fifteen seconds.

and your time starts now.

Oh my god.

Five seconds, lock it in. Three, two, one, lock it in. Time's up.

Oh.

It's a rush.

OK, Liz, you picked number two.

Why do you think that one is cake?

They literally look so similar.

but there's a very slight scratch on the right.

So it's either there to fool me or I don't know.

I just went with my gut.

That's all you can do with this.

next to them, and I still don't know.

OK, you said number two.

Let's see if you're right.

There's a five thousand dollar cut right now.

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You just won another five thousand dollars.

for a total of ten thousand dollars.

in one day. Oh my god, congratulations.

How do you feel?

I feel amazing.

Well done, career girl.

The next five bakers who are competing, Gallery Gang,

Get off here.

Fresh face, I hope you guys have been stretching.

when this cakewalk spins around again,

You all are going to the gym.

That's right.

You're going to the gym.
