01x06 - Garage Mirage

[bunniefuu]

[opening theme music playing]

[whooping]

Hello, bakers.

Hey, Mikey.

Andrew, where are you? I'm sorry, I...

-I need my glasses.
-[all laughing]

Ah, there you are.

Yay, they came back!

The last episode's winner.

These are an homage to you, sir.

And you've earned them.

I'm going to give these to you.

[cheering]

The Halloween-themed sunglasses.

These will be famous.
I'll sell them on eBay.

Ooh. Cut me in, please.

[laughing]

[Mikey] Andrew's secured his
spot in the finale,

but the six of you are all
hoping to compete

for one of the two remaining spots.

I've got some big plans for you, bakers.
You're about to play Find That Cake.

And the person who finds it the fastest

will get to choose the two bakers
who will join them to battle it out...

[Hemu] What?

...for up to $15,000

and the chance to compete in the finale

for the grand prize of $50,000, folks.

Whoo! It's heating up, and I like it.

-[chuckles]
-[Mikey] Okay.

Okay. Are you guys ready to play
Find That Cake?

When the cake wall spins around,

you'll see six items you'd find

at a garage sale.

[bakers murmuring]

Five of those items are real,
and one, my sweet bakers, is cake.

Cake Wall, spin!

You have 20 seconds to lock in your
answers on your keypads.

If you're the fastest, you get to pick
the two bakers you'll go up against.

Your time starts... now!

[tense music playing]

Oh boy.

Oh boy.

Ten seconds.

Lock in those answers, bakers.

Five seconds.

-Four, three, two, one.
-[bell dinging]

Time's up!

All right! Let's see how you did.

Show of hands. Who here picked the radio?

A popular choice.

Oh, wow.

Justin's like, "So, this is
designed to humiliate me?"

Pretty much.

So, you all picked the radio.

Let's find out.

Is it cake?

[tense music playing]

Ooh!

[cheering]

[Mikey] That's cake!

[clapping]

Well done.

-Sam? Sam-I-Am.
-Yeah?

What made you think it was cake?

I feel like I keep just picking one,
without really thinking about it.

-That's what you did?
-[laughs] Yeah.

You guys are the top in your field.

And the reasoning I've got is,
"I just picked one."

"Good answer! Good answer!
Show me, 'We just kinda felt it.'"

-[buzzer sounds]
-"No!"

Did anyone here have an actual reason

why you picked the radio
beyond just, you guessed?

-I did.
-April!

So, for my wedding cake,
I actually made an antique radio.

-Really?
-And it looked pretty similar to that.

What are the odds?

[laughing]

All of you were right.

Except Justin.

[laughing]

It's okay.

The question is, who found it the fastest?

It... was...

April! Canada!

[whooping]

April, that means you get to pick
the two bakers you will compete against.

But only one of you will go to the finale.

Who is your first pick?

I... am gonna pick

Justin.

-Justin!
-[Jonny] Aw.

He didn't find the radio, but he found
his way back into the competition.

Justin, you're full of surprises.

Who is the final baker joining you, April?

I think the second person,

only because he seems
to get more diabolical

as he sits on the bench,

it's gonna be Steve.

-[Mikey] Steve!
-Ooh.

Wow.

[Mikey] Sam, Hemu, Dessiree.

Please go join the gallery.

You three will be facing each other soon

to battle for the last spot in the finale.

It's time to play Is It Cake?

Each of you is going to choose
one of these garage sale items

to make into a cake.

April, you found the radio the fastest.

That means you get to choose first.

What'll it be?

I am gonna go with

the duck.

[Mikey] She's going for the duck!

Justin, since you were the first baker
picked by April, you get to go second.

I'm gonna go with One.

[Mikey] So, the tackle box.

-Tackle?
-Tackle.

I thought it was a tool box.

It has fishing lures on it.

-Oh.
-[mock anger] It's a tackle box!

[laughing]

Which brings us... to Steve.

What'll it be?

I think I'll try the bowling pin.

-[bakers] Whoo!
-[Mikey] Interesting.

Okay, bakers, you've made your selections,

but only one of you
could win up to $15,000

and claim that second spot in the finale.

The other two will be eliminated.

You have eight hours.

Now, go. Run to your kitchens
and put on your aprons.

And now it's time...

[echoing] ...to bake!

-[upbeat music playing]
-[cheering]

-This is, like, elimination, right?
-Yeah.

This means two of us are not
gonna move forward.

-I know.
-I know, that kills me.

I'm gonna feel bad beating you.

[both laugh]

[April] I'm just kidding. [laughs]

I've never made a duck cake before.

I've never even encountered one of these
weird ducks on my garage sale jaunts,

but I chose it strategically

because people don't just see
plastic ducks all over the place.

And I wanna get into that finale.

April, what cake are you making?

I wanna bring my heritage
into this flavor profile.

[Steve] Yep.

So, I'm doing a vanilla bean cake

with coconut, white chocolate ganache

and a mango coulis.

Sort of reminiscent of mango sticky rice,

which is, like, a really yummy,
delicious dish in Asia.

-I love mango.
-It sounds really good.

I came from the Philippines.

I immigrated to Canada
when I was a little kid.

So, I really wanted
to infuse my heritage in this cake.

If it's gonna be my last bake here,
I wanna represent.

-How do you feel about the items?
-I've never done a bowling pin before.

So this is definitely something...
uncharted waters for me.

This is my second time baking,
and I'm feeling really excited.

This is the opportunity
to get me into the finale,

and prove to my kids
I absolutely can do this.

I can do this in my sleep.

So, strategically I chose the bowling pin

because of the little carving
that I'm gonna have to worry about.

I'm making a mold 'cause
if the mold comes out perfectly,

I won't have to do
a lot of maintenance on it.

I could fill it with cake,
put the top on it, and I'm done.

-[Hemu] What your flavors are?
-Yeah, what's your flavors?

I'm gonna do a dark chocolate raspberry

with, uh, dark ganache and raspberry jam.

Mm.

Mine's actually
like the opposite of Steve's.

So, I'm doing vanilla with raspberry
and white chocolate buttercream,

and I'll add vanilla bean, too.

-Oh, wow.
-Literally the opposite.

Yeah, good flavors.
We'll see which one kinda pans out, right?

Yeah.

Steve's making
the complete opposite of me.

And it's like, I'm young, he's older.
So, like, what are the chances?

But being the youngest here,
I'm definitely more active, you know?

My back's not gonna hurt.
I can stand for longer.

-[Jonny] I like a rusty tackle box.
-I love a rusty tackle box.

No one has a fresh, clean tackle box,
so you need to get that dirt effect.

That's gonna be difficult. But a win here
would lead to a spot in the finale.

So, that's huge.
I'm ready to show them what I got.

[funky music playing]

Hello, gallery.

-[Hemu] Hi, Mikey.
-You look manly with those tackle boxes.

[gruff voice] Thank you.

Oh, bakers!

I brought your garage sale items.

Ducks, tackle boxes, and bowling pins.

And Justin, these are tackle boxes,

-not tool boxes.
-Tackle?

[laughing]

The decoys kinda have a variety.

Some of them are dirtier than others.

So, I'm just debating how I'm gonna
use that rusty color.

There you go.

Steve's got, like, an easy choice.

[laughs] They're all kinda the same.

[Steve] One of the challenges of doing
a cake that looks simple to make,

is you have to be flawless
when you complete it.

The size has to be correct,
the width, the height.

If there's a little bit that's off,
it's gonna be easy to pick out.

Bakers! Five hours left!

[upbeat music playing]

Okay, let's make a mold.

I'm starting to mold the duck's head.

So, I take my putty.

I place two halves
encapsulating that head,

so I get every single detail.

-[Justin] That looks funny.
-[April] The duck?

It's like he's getting plastic surgery
or something.

I've chosen
to work with black modeling chocolate,

because it's so perfect for carving it.

I want to make sure that head
looks like a plastic duck head.

And then, of course,
all that textured detail of the feathers.

There's a lot of details
to execute to get that cake right.

-Any reason you picked your decoys?
-I... I wanted a variety.

I needed a clean one to do the mold.

Yeah. I'm very interested
in how you're gonna do it.

I'm interested too.

Steve, tell me about your molding process.

Gelatin, sugar, and water.

-Why sugar?
-It's very flexible.

It has some density to it,
so it doesn't fall apart so quickly.

I'm making a mold
of the top and the bottom,

because the bowling pin is too large,
and I need to split it into two sections.

Not to mention, I need to have a cavity
I can put the cake in.

-[Justin] You're so smart.
-[Steve] If it works, I am.

[laughs] It will.

[upbeat music playing]

[Steve] What's the hardest thing?

I feel like adding the rust, the colors.
Making it look realistic.

-[Steve] Yeah.
-[Justin] Especially up close.

I decided to use some cocoa powder,
because it's brown, it's dusty-looking.

I grabbed cinnamon,
thinking that will work.

[April] Those are legit tackle boxes,
so don't try to make it look the same.

'Cause that would be bizarre
that you found two exactly antique.

[Justin] Good point, yeah.

I'm not too familiar with tackle boxes.

My grandpa, he likes to fish a lot,
but I think fishing's kinda boring,

you sit there waiting for fish.

This tackle box is definitely the closest
to fishing that I'm gonna get to.

I remember when I was a teenager,

what I wanted so bad was
to have a phone in my room.

-With a cord?
-[April] Yeah.

You used to have to sit next to it
to actually talk to someone.

Yeah, that's ancient, right?

[April] Have you seen old cell phones?

Um, the pagers?

-A pager?
-No, no. The big brick cell phones from...

No. I don't want to.

-Justin, Justin. It makes me feel old.
-[both laugh]

-Wait, how old are your parents?
-We're not talking about it.

Um, 39 and 41.

[Hemu] What the...

You could totally be my son! Oh my gosh.

[Steve] I'm making the bowling pin
in two parts, bottom and top,

and then I'm going
to seam them all together with chocolate.

I've taken the bottom part
of the bowling pin out of the freezer.

And just some gentle pulling on that part,

because it's greased
and it comes out pretty flawlessly.

And I have a really nice exact copy
of the bottom part of this bowling pin.

I'm gonna start to layer my cake.

And I'm going to stack it with a layer
of cake, ganache, fresh raspberries,

and a layer of jam.

Now I'm working with the top part,
and it should slide right out.

[Mikey] Bakers! Under three hours!

[tense music playing]

Steve, what are you doing?

Working on my molds right now.
Trying to get this mold out.

Is it giving you difficulty?

This one is, 'cause there's a vacuum.

If this doesn't work, you gonna maybe try
to carve some cake or something?

It's too late for that.
I'd have to make more cake.

-So, there's no Plan B.
-[Steve] No.

I'm absolutely feeling stressed
for time right now.

I just can't get the bowling pin
out of the mold.

I know what I did wrong.
I used the wrong pin.

I put a bowling pin that was pre-greased
into the freezer, so it would set up.

I have all these bowling pins on my table,
and I lost track,

and I put the wrong bowling pin
into the mold.

So, now I'm gonna have to pull this
all apart and re-cast it all over again.

I just need to get this out.

[Justin] Do you have more gelatin?

I'm gonna re-melt this.

[Justin] Want me to pull the pin?

[Steve] Yeah. Here. Come on.

It's coming. It's coming.

Perfect, perfect.

[clapping]

Thanks.

So, now I'm starting
my gelatin mold, again.

If this doesn't work,
I won't have anything up there.

[Mikey] Two hours.

Two hours left, bakers.

[upbeat music playing]

The fishing lure,
I'll make out of modeling chocolate.

And just paint on some of the details.

I'm not sure what a fishing lure is.
I'd assume fish come towards it.

I've only seen the weights.

The head looks really good. And the body.

[April] Thank you.

I'm just trying to get these textures.
It's bumpy-lumpy.

And if I do it right,
it'll make the painting easier.

Yeah.

[April] I'm trying to think about
the process of building layers of color.

Airbrush paints are not gonna
show up very well

on this black modeling chocolate.

So, I take some edible paint

and start painting all those
fine details on that cake.

And every now and then,

I'm seeing that my attention
to the carving is really working.

That black modeling chocolate
is peeking through that paint

and really giving the illusion
that this cake is carved.

One hour remains! One hour!

With all of the hurdles
that I had to jump over,

I was able to re-cast this gelatin mold.

It's rough on the inside,

but I think I have a good enough mold
of the top that I'm able to work with it.

I would be panicking right now.

No idea.

[Andrew] But also he looks like,
"I don't know what to do right now."

-Like, "What do I do?"
-[Hemu] Yeah. Getting worried for him.

I love working under pressure.
Love it. Love it.

[Mikey] Bakers, 30 minutes!

[Justin] This is one of the most
important cakes in my career,

'cause it's gonna lead me to $50,000.

That's a lot of money for a high-schooler.

[Mikey] Okay, 15 minutes, bakers!

Start getting your decoys together.

[tense music playing]

I've been making cakes for so many years.

With my background, I have a lot of skill
and a lot of competitions under my belt.

But the bowling pin
is a challenging piece.

If I can finish this really strong,
it could get me into the finale.

But if I don't,
it's going to eliminate me.

-Oh, Steve.
-He'll... He'll figure it out.

Five minutes, bakers!

Start pulling it together.

[energetic music playing]

Okay, bakers. Time's up!

[clapping]

-[Andrew] Good job, guys!
-Great job, guys!

Get your decoys together!
It's time to face the judges.

Bakers! You've been working for hours,

and now it's time to see if your cakes
can pass the ultimate test,

the eyes of our judges.

[Mikey sings] Dun-dun-duh!

First, actor and stand-up comedian,
Tony Rock.

[clapping, whooping]

You're so funny.

Thank you.

Do you have experience looking at things
and discerning if something's cake?

Uh, absolutely.

[Mikey] You're like, "A lot."

I have experience looking
and discerning if I like the cakes.

Yeah.

She's an incredible singer
and songwriter, King Princess.

[clapping, whooping]

Your Majesty.

Um, thank you.

Are you recording a new album now?

Yeah. I just finished.

Congratulations.

Yeah, wild style.

Host of The American Barbecue Showdown
on Netflix...

-Ooh.
-...actor and comedian Lyric Lewis.

[clapping, whooping]

How is your cake knowledge
versus your meat knowledge?

You know, I would say
they're probably both equal.

Both meats and cakes are moist.

-[all laughing]
-Yep. Gotta be moist.

[laughing]

All right. Judges,
this is why we brought you here.

The three of you will have 20 seconds
to find the cake and agree on one answer,

and enter it on the keypad
in front of Lyric.

And there's a lot riding on this.

Who stays and who goes,
that all depends on you guys,

-so no pressure for you as well.
-Whoo!

-Okay.
-[King] All right.

Our first baker is April.

-Hi, April.
-April!

[whooping]

Cake Wall, spin!

All right, judges,
you'll see five cake stands,

each with a fake duck on them.

-But one of those ducks is cake.
-Oh, okay.

-Oh wow.
-[Mikey] It is your job to find it.

Your time starts now!

[Lyric] Okay.

-[King] Oh God.
-Okay, first... I feel like I'm not...

-[Tony] Wait a minute.
-[Lyric] Ooh. Okay.

-Okay.
-[King] Number Two.

[Mikey] Ten seconds!

-[Lyric] Two?
-No, I'm wrong. Oh God.

[Lyric] Oh. Uh-uh.

Okay, I feel like Four...
He looks like his stuff is painted on.

[Mikey] Five seconds! Lock in an answer.

-Put Five, put Five.
-[Mikey] Two, one...

-[bell dinging]
-[Mikey] Time's up.

[Lyric] He said Five. I was like, okay.

[Mikey] All right, judges.
You picked Number Five.

Let's see if you're right.

-I kinda jumped the g*n and said Five.
-You did.

They followed my lead.

Okay, April.

If this is cake, you will be eliminated.

But if it's not,
you could be joining Andrew

to fight it out in the finale.

Let's find out. April...

[whooshes]

Is it cake?

[sings note] Ah!

[clears throat]

My nerves are so bad.

-[judges groaning]
-No!

[Mikey] Not cake!

[Andrew] Whoo! April!

April!

[sings] O Canada!

Congratulations, April.
You're up for the win.

You worked hard on this,
so you should reveal your cake

to the judges.

So, please come up here.
This is your victory lap.

-[King] Where's she going?
-[Lyric] It's One, huh? Is it Three?

It's One. Ooh, it's One.

Ooh.

It's not One!

[judges] Oh!

-[Lyric, King] It's Four?
-It's Three!

[Lyric] April.

-[King] That is stunning. Good for you.
-April.

-Oh!
-It's Three.

-We didn't look at...
-I didn't see it.

[Lyric] I didn't even clock Three.

[King, Lyric] Wow.

[Mikey] Beautiful cut!

-[clapping]
-[Lyric] Wow.

All right, April.
Please bring the judges a slice.

Tell them about the flavors
in that severed duck.

[April] I chose to do a vanilla bean cake

with coconut Swiss meringue buttercream,

a mango coulis,

and some chocolate crisp
pearls in there for a little texture.

-That's good. That's good.
-[Lyric] Wow.

-Come on, April. April.
-Supple? Moist?

Supple, moist. It's crunchy,
it's got texture. It got layers.

-This a good cake. [laughs]
-[Tony] That was good.

-Good stuff.
-Oh damn. April!

[Lyric] April!

-It's so good!
-Thank you.

You sound like
the drunk girls in a bar. "April!"

[both] "April!"

"We're going!"

"April, you don't know him!"

[laughing]

Our next baker is Justin.

If you wanna feel old,
just talk to Justin for a little bit.

-Didn't you explain what a Walkman was?
-Yes.

-I was like, "A Walkman..."
-[Mikey] He didn't know what it was.

-[Lyric] Wow.
-[Mikey] Naturally.

I've never heard of it.

[laughing]

He's so happy, too.

We're like, "You don't know
what a phone book is?" He's like, "No."

[laughing]

Cake Wall, spin!

All right, judges.
Here come five tackle boxes,

but one of them is, yep, cake.

Let's see if you can find it. Good luck!

And your time starts... now.

-[Lyric] Okay.
-[Tony] Oh man.

[Lyric] Ooh.

-One.
-One.

-One.
-It's One.

[Tony] Really?

-It's the buckle that's throwing me off.
-What? Okay.

-[Mikey] Ten seconds, judges.
-[Lyric] Hm.

Oh.

-It's Four because the handle is up.
-No, no. Five.

Five, period. Five.

-I feel like One 'cause the handle's up.
-[Mikey] Five, four, three...

-Five, Five.
-[Mikey] ...two, one. Lock it in!

-[bell dings]
-[Tony] You vote on this one.

-I took the first one.
-[King] I'll take the fall for this one.

[Mikey] What'd you guys lock in?

[Lyric] Five, again.

Five? That's your go-to?

Hear me out.

That's cake.

[laughing]

Expert analysis.

I ran the numbers. It's cake.

Let's see if you're right.

It was some debate between One and Five.

And then at the end,
Her Highness came in with Five.

Justin, my friend,

if this is cake, you will be eliminated.

If it's not, you could be
competing in the finale

against the Green Man himself, Andrew.

Regardless,
you will come out of this a man.

Yes.

-You're making me nervous.
-'Cause I have a knife?

[grunts] And the lighting.

[Mikey] Time to find out...

Is it cake?

[Lyric groans loudly]

[exhales]

-Oh, my nerves are bad.
-[Mikey clears throat]

[tense music playing]

[judges] Oh!

[Hemu] Oh.

-[Mikey] It's a thick cake.
-I'm sorry, Justin.

You're fine.

-[clapping]
-[Jonny] Good job, Justin.

-[Mikey] It was a well-made cake.
-[Lyric] Wow.

All right, it's cake.
Justin, I'm so sorry, buddy.

You're not up for the win today,

and you won't move on
to compete in the finale.

But things can only get better from here.

You're 18, and you already
have your own business.

-The sky's the limit for you, my friend.
-Yes, Justin!

-[Andrew] Justin!
-[clapping]

Uh, judges, what gave it away?

It was the fake rust.

The shape of it.
I was like, "It does look like some cake."

That's how I feel about Two.
I still think that's cake.

Justin, you're the best.
How about you come up here,

cut the judges a slice of your cake?

Tell them about the flavors.

So, I made, um, a young cake.

[laughing]

[Justin] A vanilla cake
with raspberry coulis

and white chocolate
vanilla bean buttercream.

-It's stunning. For real.
-[Justin] Thank you.

I'm gonna take my fork out right now.

-[Lyric] Okay.
-[Tony] Very good.

-[Justin] I like your hair, too.
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

This is a young cake.
Justin's cake is amazing.

Refreshing. The cream is delicious.

It's light and was fluffy.

-Like, my mouth is very happy.
-Thank you.

I would get drunk
and eat that cake, all day.

For a guy that doesn't know a Walkman,
you know what cake is. Good cake, Justin.

-[Mikey] Yeah.
-Justin!

And now, our final baker.

The talented and mysterious Steve.

-Yeah!
-[cheering]

Okay, judges.

Steve made something I feel like
Steve would buy at a garage sale.

One lone bowling pin.

[laughing]

-Oh, okay.
-Oh.

Cake Wall!

Judges, you're about to see five stands,

each with one lone bowling pin.

One of those bowling pins is not real.

Guys, it's cake.

Good luck.

Your time starts right now!

[Lyric] Okay.

[Tony] Let's look at them all.
Look at One...

[Lyric, King] Not One.

-[Lyric] I think Five!
-[King] Two. No, that's cake.

-That's a cake!
-[Mikey] Ten seconds!

[Lyric] Three!
Three looks, like, real cute.

Tony, look, that looks like a cake!

You think Five?

-[King] No shade, but Five looks weird.
-[Lyric] Five.

-[Mikey] In three, two, one.
-Five!

Lock it in! [squeals]

-[Tony] Locked in? Number Five? Wow.
-[bell dings]

-[King] Look at that!
-[Lyric] It looks like cake!

[Mikey] Guys, that got intense.
I loved it.

[laughing]

You were very confident with Five.
Let's see if you're right.

We are of the same mind right now.

Five.

-The hive mind.
-[Lyric] Hive mind.

This is a very important moment, Steve.

It looks like the bowling pin's
gonna do a monologue.

[laughs]

If this is a bowling pin,
you're still in the game.

If it's cake, you will be
eliminated from the competition,

and April will move on
to join Andrew in the finale.

It's time to find out something
very important, everyone.

Is it cake?

[tense music playing]

[clears throat]

[Mikey] Oh!

[judges groaning]

[Mikey] That's cake!

Steve!

I'm so sorry, man.

You are no longer in the competition
and won't move on to the finale.

April! Congratulations.

[clapping, whooping]

You were the only one to fool the judges.

That means you've just won $5,000!

-And...
-[cheering]

And you are the second baker
to secure a spot in the finale

for a chance to win $50,000.

You told me you had your daughter's shoe
as a good luck charm.

Do you have it?

-No way.
-

Oh!

This is about to be adorable!

Aw!

The size of that shoe is too cute.

Oh my God. I need to recover.

[giggles]

Steve? How are you feeling, my friend?

Hey, I'm just happy
to be part of this cast.

I mean... These guys are amazing.
Made some good friends.

-[Andrew] Aw!
-We love you.

[Hemu] Love you!

[whooping]

[Mikey] Now, judges,
your work here is done.

But I know you'd love
to taste Steve's cake.

So, please come up here
and have a forkful before you leave.

And Steve, tell us about your cake.

I've made a devil's food cake
with raspberries and passion fruit.

And there's some little
white chocolate crispy pearls in there.

Ooh.

-This is chocolate?
-Oh. Oh!

-[Tony] It's amazing.
-That's good cake.

That's actually really moist.

[Lyric] That white chocolate's good.

Bakers! Let's give it up for our judges!

-They did great!
-[game show music playing]

-Thank you!
-[Mikey] Thank you!

Tony, Lyric, and Her Highness,
King Princess.

Thank you.

-Cake Wall, take our lovely judges away.
-[Lyric] Oh!

-[Mikey] Oh, excellent!
-Bye!

-[Mikey] Goodbye, judges!
-Bye, y'all!

Love you!

Justin and Steve.

I'm sorry, guys, but you have been
eliminated from the competition.

You both did amazing work.
You should be very proud of yourselves.

-Good job, guys!
-[Hemu] So proud of you!

[Mikey] Please take a seat in the gallery.

-[Steve] Good luck.
-[Jonny] You'll have fun.

[Nina laughs]

Okay, April.

-You know what time it is.
-Mm.

Let's play Cake Or Cash?

[soft voice] Normally,
I come here with Andrew.

It feels so weird to be here
with someone else. I'm sorry.

[normal voice] April, you just won $5,000.

Andrew didn't find the cake last time,
so that money rolled over.

So, now Cake Or Cash is worth $10,000.

[bakers cheering]

I really want you to win this money!
And your karma is good.

[Nina chuckles]

April, on the other side of the cake wall
are two cookie jars.

One of these cookie jars is
stuffed with money,

and the other one, April,

is... cake.

Hm.

[Mikey] If you guess the cake,
you get the cash.

You have 15 seconds to decide

which one is cake.

Yikes. All right.

Your time starts now!

[tense music playing]

-[Mikey chuckles]
-Fudge.

Exactly what I was thinking.

What's cake? What's cash?

Uh...

[timer beeping]

[April groans quietly]

-Five seconds.
-[April squeals]

-[rapid beeping]
-[Mikey] Three, two, one. Time's up!

-[bell dinging]
-[Nina] Yes.

[Mikey] Answer's locked and loaded.

You picked Number Two.

[clapping]

Why do you think that one is cake?

The other one seems to have some kind of
additional relief on it? I don't know.

Ooh, "relief."
Is that like a term for decor?

It's the sticky-outy parts. [laughs]

Hm. "Sticky-outy parts." [laughs]

Fingers crossed.

I'm also crossing my toes for you.

Thanks, Mikey.

-And I don't do that for just anyone.
-[laughs]

Okay, April, you picked Number Two.

If this is cake,
you will win another $10,000.

[clapping, cheering]

Yes.

Here we go!

[tense music playing]

[Mikey] Oh...

Wait. Wait for it...

Wait for it...

-Wait!
-[whooping]

Yes!

What happened?!

[Mikey] It's cake!

April!

-[Mikey] April!
-[whooping]

You did it.
That's another $10,000 for you.

That brings your winnings today
to a grand total of $15,000!

[cheering]

You are going to the finale!

[cheering, clapping]

Andrew!

You got company, buddy!

I'm so excited! Yay!

All right. [claps]

We're getting...

-[bakers gasp, laugh]
-[April] Mikey!

[laughing]

Bye!

[bakers chat, laugh]

[Mikey groans]

Bye, Mikey. [laughs]
