For their first elimination challenge, the chefs are tasked with creating a showpiece based on a popular fairy tale.

It’s the 40th anniversary of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and to celebrate, the chefs will work as one team to create a Pure Imagination Room.

To celebrate the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the chefs must create a cake experience in three movements to be served to the symphony members and patrons after their performance.

For the Elimination Challenge, the remaining 12 cheftestants create the ultimate “dessert-scape” spread for 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Lisa Vanderpump.

It all comes down to this -- the final three chefs will compete in a Top Chef version of the Prestigious Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Competition -- which is the World Series of Competitions in the pastry world. Only one can take the title of Top Chef: Just Desserts.

The chefs must beat the heat as they make frozen treats suitable for cooling off on a hot summer day.
