Fourteen top pastry chefs come together for season two of Top Chef Just Desserts to determine who is the sweetest chef of all. For their first elimination challenge, the chefs need to bring out their A-game when they're tasked with creating a showpiece based off of a popular fairytale story.

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 where everything in the room has to be edible. Original cast members of the movie will be on hand to see if the chefs have created a land of sweet dreams. Guest judge will be Ron Ben Israel.

To celebrate the opening of the 9th Season Orchestra of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the chefs must work in teams to create a cake experience in three movements to be served to the symphony members and patrons after their performance. Margaret Braum serves as guest judge.

The remaining pastry chefs will be given a "License to Ill" as they raid the first ever "Top Chef Beastie Boys Pantry," where they must use the ingredients, named after the band's popular songs, to create a Beastie Boys-inspired dessert appropriate for a street art event. Jordan Kahn and Adam "Ad Rock" Horovitz serve as guest judges.

Bigger isn't always better -- this week's Quickfire challenges the chefs to develop a bold and complex flavor within a teeny tiny space. The winner will be placed in the voting pool to become one of Extra's new "Dessert Delight" flavors. For the elimination challenge, the remaining twelve chef'testants must channel their inner diva and create the ultimate "dessert-scape" spread for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump, who is throwing a lavish party for her fabulous friends. Hugh Acheson serves as guest judge.

Time to make the donuts -- this week's quickfire challenge will have the chefs selecting perfect pairings of coffee and donuts, while the elimination challenge will result in death... by chocolate. The chef'testants must create a chocolate showpiece under a veil of secrecy. Mark Isarel and Wylie Dufresne serve as guest judges.
