Buddy judges 10 pairs of bakers with two new experts by his side as contestants race to iconic city locations to find inspiration for a New York City cake challenge.
Playground antics take over as the bakers choose their own teams in an effort to please some very picky and demanding clients with an affinity for all things sugary.
In Vegas, everything is on the line as the final two teams gamble for the ultimate prize. But which will take the prize and be named Next Great Baker?
The bakers use someone else's partner to complete the challenge. Things get complicated when they are thrown into arranged marriages with new baking partners.
Competition sizzles when the teams have to make barbeque-inspired cakes. Features a six-foot long hot dog and a 4-foot wide hamburger presented to Buddy's family.
