Holiday Baking Championship

Jesse Palmer asks the bakers to combine two of the fall season's best treats and make seasonal coffee drink cinnamon rolls.

Every Thanksgiving meal is centered around one vital component: the turkey! So for this preheat, host Jesse Palmer tasks the bakers with creating turkey dome desserts, complete with edible feathers and heads. Then, no Thanksgiving is complete without a beautifully set table, and the bakers show judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller their tablescaping skills by making mini Thanksgiving table cakes!

Thanksgiving means food and football, so Jesse Palmer challenges the bakers to create holiday 7-layer desserts inspired by his favorite snack. Then, the bakers compete in a Thanksgiving pie-off to win over judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller.

Host Jesse Palmer is climbing the Alps and heading towards the highest peak: the beautiful Mont Blanc! For the preheat, the bakers must make whimsical Mont Blanc desserts with colors, playful flavors and whatever else they can imagine! The whimsy doesn't stop there as unexpected upside-down cakes force the bakers to impress judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller with their inner Willy Wonka when they make a cake, flip it upside-down and suspend it in midair!

Jesse tasks the bakers with turning beautiful holiday designs into mini-tart mosaics. Then, the bakers make merry and bright double-barrel wrapping paper cakes that feel like the perfect gift for judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller.

After learning the latke basics, Jesse has the bakers fry up latke-inspired desserts. Then, the bakers' imaginations run wild while creating letterboard holiday bars to put judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller in the holiday spirit.
