02x03 - Spitting Image

[bunniefuu]

-What's that?
-No clue.

-A covered cart.
-What's that table?

What I have here, bakers,

will change
the course of this competition.

Unfortunately, one of these teams
will never see what I'm about to show you

because they're leaving
the competition now.

-Darn.
-Let's pick up where we left off.

This is too much.
Enough to stop your heart.

Chef, how are you voting?

The team that I think should leave
Sugar Rush: The Baking Point is...

Oh, dear Lord!

Andrés, Nadia.

I am very sorry.

Did you expect this?

ELIMINATED

Not this soon.

-We made a great team.
-A great team.

I don't have any regrets.

We were in this together.
We'll never forget it.

TIME FOR THE FINALE

Of course we won't.

Dear Gris,
come with me to see what I brought.

Come on, you'll like it.

It could be so many different things.

We have no clue what it is.

Ready?

-Yeah.
-What is it?

One, two...

-Oh my God.
-What is that?

SUGAR RUSH: THE BAKING POINT

What we have here are items
from Mexican popular culture.

So you have to come here, choose one,

and you will have to replicate
the one you choose.

The items will bring you closer
to a million pesos.

HOST

They'll prevent you from losing
half an hour for the cake round.

Gris and Luis will have by their side
the most beautiful eyes in soap operas,

Elizabeth Álvarez.

Can our bakers make them
like two peas in a pod?

THEME
TWO PEAS IN A POD

Come with me.

I want La Catrina, to be honest.

She's mine, Erick.

SIBLINGS

Calm down!

I got the piñata. Exactly what I wanted.

Okay, great.

Honey, this is all I could get for you.

I thought he grabbed La Catrina.

You're out of control.

Cool it.

Someone else got La Catrina.

-César, I'll get even.
-Look.

-How about this?
-No, hold on.

-What?
-Don't tell them yet.

-Let's go over there.
-More surprises?

-What is it?
-What?

Elizabeth Álvarez, thank you so much
for being on Sugar Rush: The Baking Point.

How are you?

I'm glad, happy,
excited to see the contestants.

Hey, what was that scuffle about?

I apologize.

-They're not normally that wild.
-They aren't?

But they're very competitive.

ROUND 1
CONFECTIONS

-Let's use cookies for the sticks.
-Yes.

But make a sponge cake too,
so we have a choice.

-It'll be hard to make this.
-And this.

Seeing it closely,
I notice all the textures.

The shape of the waist, the legs.
It will be very time-consuming.

How good do you think you are
at replicating objects?

I feel very comfortable
working with exact measurements.

I'll try to observe all the details
in less time.

I start measuring the points
and the height

so that it resembles the piñata.

-I found the pattern. It's the same.
-Yes?

-I didn't want this one.
-Me neither because of the paint.

-And it's a replica.
-I don't know.

Let's remember it's hyperrealism.

-Wow!
-Okay. A whole different level.

-It's more real than what's real.
-I'll add the base color.

-We'll add the paint rather than waiting.
-Yes.

In my opinion,
alebrijes are the most challenging

because they're so detailed and intricate.

And accurately depicting each detail...

-It's so detailed.
-Yes.

I'll add a touch of orange to make
a chocolate-orange combination.

CATRINA CONFECTION

Plus, the grindstone mousse,

because our object is La Catrina,
so the flavors should be Mexican.

I would dare say that La Catrina
is one of the Mexican symbols

that is dearest to me,

as José Guadalupe Posada
is from Aguascalientes, Mexico.

He's the creator of La Catrina.

-Should I make the top part?
-No, focus on the details.

It has lots of details,
a little bottle, little chairs...

We'll figure out how to replicate them
so they look the same.

People watching in other countries
might not know what a trajinera is.

How would you describe it?

It's a type of boat that goes
around the Xochimilco canals.

You can have snacks and a beer on board.

You have fun
and spend the day with your family.

-The description gives me a hangover.
-True.

Dani, how about we put
all the cake filling just in the circle?

-Okay.
-What should a piñata taste like?

Great question. We'll find out.

We will.

We're making a vanilla sponge cake...

PIÑATA CONFECTION

...with a touch of confetti.

It's delicious.

-Remember, the flavor must be eshpeshial.
-Eshpeshial.

ROUND 1

I see pink fabric. What's underneath?

Tell me, please. I'm intrigued.

Should we reveal the surprise, Elizabeth?

-Really? Let's go!
-Now?

-Please.
-Yes, now.

Come on, Richie.

Bakers!

We're adding one small challenge.

-More?
-No.

"Bakers." Now what?

-Do the honors.
-Oh no.

My childhood dream will come true here.

-Is it a little oven?
-Wow.

The Mis Pastelitos eshpeshial toy oven.

How cute.

It reminds me of when we used to bake
in our clay oven.

-We never had a toy like this.
-We always wanted one.

What you'll have to do
is bake something, an element,

whatever you want, from your confection.

It's complicated.

I'd make a cupcake. Can I?

Yes. And you have to prove
that even when baking a cupcake,

you are great bakers.

What should we bake?
A bit there and a bit here?

You think?

-We have to do this quickly.
-Okay.

-I'll leave this here.
-The little oven.

What are you making?

We're thinking maybe a little bun,
like those microwaved ones, with popcorn.

My niece has one,
but I never asked her how it works.

How do you open it?
Look at the eshpeshial font.

-Can we take it with us?
-Sure, to play at home.

I love it.

I had toys to pretend to be
a businesswoman and a doctor.

But I discovered my love
for cooking as an adult.

How elegant.
I'm going to bake my first cake.

I really wanted a play oven as a child,
but we couldn't afford one.

My mom raised three kids on her own.

Financially speaking, it was hard
for her to take care of everything.

My mom got me one, but when I was 14.

I'll see if the cookie is done.

Let's check.

Wow! How about that? Look.

Golden brown.

-No.
-I dropped my sample.

Unbelievable.

-Honestly, I'd make a new one.
-Yeah.

It's riskier to fix it
than to make it again.

Yeah.

I can't believe it.

I'll bake it again and repeat the process.

I need to shape the sponge cake.

It's time to build that sphere.

First, I take our ganache

in order to wrap it
and make it as perfect as possible.

To make a perfect sphere and...

Especially joining the cones
and the sphere,

I think it might be hard.

Yeah.

Besides being great bakers,
they have to be great artists.

-I agree.
-Yeah.

We'll see great talent today,
so I'm ready.

-First, the colors.
-Yes, on it.

We'll do it together.

-Are there three?
-No, I need some green.

The hardest thing about making La Catrina

is, of course, replicating the shape,
the movement she has,

and some details that will likely come up.

Bakers!

-What?
-The first half an hour has gone by!

Just so you know.

Okay.

We're getting closer and closer
to the million pesos.

It'll be very sad to see
a team leave when we're so close.

-But it will happen.
-We can't waver.

No, we can't.

-I'll check the little oven.
-Let me see.

I feel like a child
pretending to bake cakes.

Please check the cookies. Thanks, honey.

It's taking a while,
but I think they're baking properly.

Okay.

-Ready.
-I think they are fine.

We'll see how the flavor
and the presentation are.

We'll paint them purple
for our walls, okay?

Yes.

It'll be very hard
to be one of the first to finish.

What is that for, baby?

-It has blue and orange.
-I was going to paint it.

-I told you.
-For the tenth time?

-We'll make the colors to avoid painting.
-These colors.

Their conversations sometimes devolve
into arguments.

-They clash.
-Yeah.

Communication? We talked about it.

-I didn't think you'd do that.
-I told you. We'll add...

-The colors.
-We'll do that.

It is what it is.

Don't say anything else. That's enough.

You're making the ribbons.
I'll work on the details.

-Don't add any more.
-Hold on.

That's enough, or it will get smeared.
Remove it with your finger.

I warmed up some isomalt
to get the color of the beer.

It looks pretty.

We like the outcome,

especially because you are taking a risk
with that isomalt bottle.

It looks pretty, yeah.

I really need to focus.

I think Elio and César

are making the same mistake again
by spending too much time

on the details,
but they're not making progress.

It'll cost them time.

-Let's hurry up and finish.
-Just... let me add eyebrows.

Maybe if I had chosen an easier object,

I could have saved time
that we'll need for the finale.

Even though it's tough,

everybody wanted it, which means
they're not afraid of a challenge.

Exactly. Or of death.

-Look.
-I'll finish the face and give it to you.

The alebrije has a nice shape to it now.

Now they need to add the details.

We thought it'd be the hardest one.

-I did.
-They've made the most progress.

-Should I paint the back?
-Yeah.

What's easier for you?
Outlining? Filling in? What?

At this point, anything.

I'll paste this.

I hope it stays there.

Sandra and Efraín are working
so carefully to make it perfect.

-No! Honey?
-What?

The bottle fell inside.

-Oh no. They must be nervous.
-Yeah.

It's really hard.

Don't worry. I've got it.

It keeps falling backwards.

-Let's not move it for a while.
-No.

I'm surprised because even though this is
one of the toughest challenges,

I'm seeing beautiful things.

It's one of
the most exciting first-round challenges.

Everything is so carefully made.

I love how everyone's object
has turned out.

I'm a bit concerned about time.

I have the same concern.
At least, we're about to finish.

This show is totally taking me
out of my comfort zone.

We need to finish.
We've spent too much time on it.

It's hard to make those ribbons, right?

-Yes.
-Because of the movement and flavor.

Let's see.

It might look the same outside,
but we have to taste it.

We need to stamp this.
It didn't work. What do I do?

I'm frustrated because the veil
doesn't look at all like our Catrina's.

I don't think there's a technique
to recreate tulle.

-It's tricky.
-Yeah.

What options do they have for the veil?

Maybe some kind of gelatin, right?

-Rice paper?
-You know what you're talking about.

I love cooking, and I...
I think eating is what I like best.

I also like eating. Preferably every day.

Yes, generally. Whenever possible.

-It's one of my passions.
-There.

There. You can see it.
Don't touch it too much.

-Give me the glue.
-Okay, but we don't have much time.

Hold the sphere. My hand is shaking.

-Is it worth it?
-What, baby?

Making our hands unsteady.

-I've had it. My hands are shaking.
-Yes.

We're almost done.

Should we clock in?

-What?
-No.

Apparently, Elda and Erick
are surprising everybody, including us.

They're about to press the button,
ladies and gentlemen.

One black one, and we're done.

-Is that black?
-Hurry.

-Is it black?
-No, it's not.

-Hurry!
-They're going to clock in!

And... they did it!

-The first to finish.
-They clocked in.

TIME REMAINING

The first to be done
with this replica challenge.

It's not identical.

I like it. I think it's good. It's cool.

-The earrings.
-There.

That little ball. There.

Elio and César
are about to finish the bride.

-She just needs the veil.
-There. Down here. Just leave it.

-But it's glued.
-Leave it.

One minute left.

No, not one minute. Wait.

Sandra and Efraín
are about to deliver the whole model.

Stop, sis!

-Put it there.
-Done, babe.

There they go. Together. Rushing.

Their clock stops
at three hours and 31 minutes.

Both teams hug each other. Awesome!

-There.
-Here!

Done.

Sandra and Efraín!

TIME REMAINING

Awesome!

The "hardest ones" have finished.

But Daniela and Natalia
are still working on the piñata.

-It's nerve-racking!
-It flipped!

-Did you measure it?
-Yes.

Since it isn't paste...

We want to finish.

And the ring
that's holding them is very thin.

Careful with this
because the weight can tilt it.

We'll use just two.

They might have to sacrifice some ribbons
and not use them. Oh, dear.

-Glue it behind.
-That will work.

-Glue them together.
-We'll have three.

This challenge requires a lot of patience.

There we go. Hold it. Okay.

-Take it.
-Let's press it together.

They finished.

And it's official!

-Daniel and Natalia!
-Everyone has finished the first round!

TIME REMAINING

The hardest one in the history
of Sugar Rush: The Baking Point.

Let's see if they're perfect replicas.

And taste them.

Of course. We need to taste them.
I forgot they were edible.

You make us wonder which one is which.

Great.

Which one is Elda, and which one is Erick?

I have my glass of milk,
as usual, to start tasting.

-Give me something, please.
-We'll cut it.

Put the spoon there.

Wait. Before you taste it,
one of my pins is also a replica.

-Really?
-What?

Not this one, and...

Here it is.

Wow! I have some tricks up my sleeve!

-No!
-What?

-Look.
-It tastes like chocolate.

What did you bake in the toy oven?

A little cake, like a pancake.

It's a popcorn white chocolate cream.

It also has some blueberry... No, a...

-Blackberry!
-A blackberry.

I honestly can't believe
that you managed to create

something so similar in so little time.

A whole experience
in a mini bite that I put in my mouth.

Thank you.

I don't like white chocolate much,

but the addition of the blackberry
makes it quite balanced.

They're actually very similar.

All the details, the earrings...

The arms. How difficult, right?

It's labor-intensive.

I've modeled larger things.

I had never modeled something this small.

It's a honey and orange sponge cake.

It has a grindstone chocolate mousse
and an orange jam.

Which part did you bake in the toy oven?

The sponge cake.

It's delicious.

The only thing that gives away
which one is the cake is the veil.

The cocoa and orange flavor
is one of my favorite combinations

because I think it's the perfect balance

and it has everything
a Mexican Catrina should have.

It's impossible to tell the difference.

I can tell you're very happy
with your confection.

Yes, we liked it.
We can put it in the water.

Okay, let's try it.

We baked some cookies in Gris's oven.

Guess where the cookies are.

I think they're in this structure.

So, how do we grab it, or...?

All of you at the same time.
I'll hold this.

-One, two...
-Two...

-Three!
-There.

We used modeling chocolate.

Efraín used isomalt to make a beer
so that it looks clear, like the replica.

-You know what? I'll grab the bottle.
-The beer.

Cheers, Capi.

It's impeccably replicated.

You didn't have room
to do more than you already did.

I was wondering
how you could have included more cake,

cream, mousse, what we have seen.

I think this was one
of the few ways to do it.

The consistency of the cookie is great.

Maybe you could have added something,
but this is awesome.

-Congratulations, guys.
-Thank you very much.

I don't know if I am cross-eyed or what.

-You're seeing double.
-Unbelievable.

Is it me?

It's impressive.

And dangerous.
I don't know which one to bite.

-Cut it.
-Which one is which?

-This one, right? Wait.
-Which one is which?

This one.

No!

It's the first piñata
we don't want to split open or break.

What did you bake in the toy oven?

The main sponge cake.

My inner child came alive.
I felt like crying.

We made a vanilla blend.

We used three flavors.
Vanilla, chocolate, and pineapple.

I love it.

The bitter chocolate
balances with the sweetness.

The ganache is a bit dense,
but other than that, it's amazing.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

I am focused on the flavor
because I'm impressed.

This is your best cake so far.

-Well done.
-Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Bakers, let me congratulate you

on finishing the hardest first round

in the history of
Sugar Rush: The Baking Point.

All four teams truly did an awesome job.

If I was wearing a hat,
I'd take it off for you right now.

However, we must choose a winning team.

But more importantly, we must decide

which two teams will lose

half an hour for the cake challenge.

The judges' favorite team is...

Daniel and Natalia.
Congratulations on what you did.

We knew they'd love it.

It was all thought out
so they would like it.

Now, the first team
that will, unfortunately,

lose half an hour is...

Elda and Erick.

César took La Catrina from me.
Because of him, we lost half an hour.

-That rat.
-That rat.

ROUND 1

The second team
that will lose 30 minutes is...

Elio and César.

You did everything to get that Catrina,
and we lost half an hour.

I know.

Dear Elizabeth Álvarez,
tell us what the cake round entails.

For this next challenge,

you'll have to draw inspiration
from what you have in front of you.

What?

You have replicated an object,
so now you'll replicate...

reality.

Give me a break.

-Really?
-We will be your models.

We want to test you
with a sculpture-like cake of us.

-No.
-That's tough.

As the challenge starts,
you will have ten minutes

to observe us and see every detail
so you can progress with your modeling.

Understood?

-Yes.
-Good.

Sandra, Efraín, you will be
the first ones to start,

with 3 hours, 31 minutes and 9 seconds.

Elio and César will be the last to start,
with 3 hours, 1 minute, and 23 seconds.

When I start the clock...

TIME LEFT FOR CAKES

...I'll tell you who your model is.

-Is it clear?
-Yes.

Grab your mixers! Your time starts now!

ROUND 2

You will have to replicate...
Gris! Come over to this side, Gris.

-Yes.
-Quickly.

ROUND 2
CAKES

Please take good care of her, okay?

Yeah. Please come closer
so I can see the measurements.

I won't touch you.

Elizabeth, please take a seat.

You have to wait a few seconds.
Start looking at her.

-I am afraid. You have to look beautiful.
-Please. Otherwise, I will cry.

Three, two, one.

Grab your mixers! Your time starts now!

-Take care of her.
-I'm detail-oriented. I'll measure you.

This is the face of Mexico.

It's nerve-racking.
We have to enhance her features

and not cause insecurities.

-Who will you get?
-I want Luis.

-Could be. I mean...
-Okay.

He has very characteristic features.

-Strong.
-Very peculiar.

It would not be as delicate.

You'd think men are easier,
but that's not true.

Because you have to make the ears,
and a realistic ear takes time.

What do you like?

What I like the most are pastel colors.

In my whole outfit,
everything that covers me, even my makeup.

These sculptures
must have a soul too, right?

Totally. They should capture not only
the symmetry but the expression too.

-Totally.
-Like this?

-That smile!
-Like a caricature.

It's cool.

Close your beautiful eyes.

Daniel measures Elizabeth
down to the last detail.

That's the difference
between a winning team and a runner-up.

-Perfect.
-I didn't imagine so much pressure.

-I thought, "We'll make a cake..."
-I didn't know we'd make a realistic one.

In three hours.

What was the best moment of your life?

You'll agree with me.
When your first child is born.

Yes.

I remember that when her baby was born,
she had on this onesie with peaches,

so maybe we can use that flavor.

Yes, it's the best moment.

We know you are a very strict mom.

-No, I'm really easy-going.
-What are your twins' names?

Máxima and León.

-I have twins too.
-Really?

I have twins. They'll be 12 soon.
Martina and Valentino.

The light of my life.

Two moms. We had them
through artificial insemination.

In this case, Dani had them.

And I decided to accompany her
during the process, so I became Mom Nati.

I will make a delicious cake

that identifies you
and depicts you as a mom.

We'll do something for the twins.

I'm going to cry.

-What are you doing?
-Snacking.

-Do you want a pillow?
-What can I do?

You are only tiring yourself out.

ROUND 2

Come on!

I'm leaving.
Your ten minutes to observe me are up.

-Don't let me down.
-You're done.

-Thanks.
-No.

Today, we'll do our best
and we'll finish Gris,

so we have two Grises.

It's our first time
starting first. It's a miracle.

I just hope we finish on time.

Do you think you'll be serious
or smiling in the cake?

Smiling, yes.

But the teeth. Will they add any teeth?

Well, you have teeth, right?

I'll paint the sponge cake.

-Your ten minutes are up.
-My God.

Good luck. See you soon.

-Yes.
-Bye.

Elizabeth always plays the villain,

but now that we've met her, we realize
that she's actually a very caring person.

I am thinking about making a vanilla cake.

ELIZABETH CAKE

A blueberry and a raspberry jam filling,

bound with cheese cream,
what do you think?

Perfect.

Oh, how awful.

-We have little...
-How is it going, Efra?

-Working full speed.
-Oven on!

Yes.

Elda and Erick.

You'll make one of us two.

-Okay.
-Is everything okay?

-I was checking the pantry.
-No. Sorry.

We have to start now.

If we flipped a coin,
who would you choose?

Don't tell us.

Three, two, one.
Grab your mixers! Your time starts now!

Chef! Take a seat, please.

-It's a lot of responsibility because...
-He's very...

-He's very... who knows how, right?
-Very much.

Can I see you? Yes? Okay.

Tell me.
What are your thoughts on flavors?

Chocolate.

With more chocolate, a chocolate filling,
and a chocolatey sponge cake.

-It could be hazelnut or lemon.
-Lemon.

Look, Nat, I am creating
the bottom of the structure,

and then we'll add your sponge cake, okay?

We'll put the cake in the oven.

You've got the most "cakeable" face
on this panel.

Yes. I am observing you.

Should I get naked?

-Or are you good?
-No, Capi. No.

-Okay.
-You have colored eyes, right?

No.

-Maybe because...
-You have small eyes.

I do have small eyes. Three, two, one.

Grab your mixers! Your time starts now!

I wanted to get Capi
because he has funny features to make,

and it'll be fun.

Let's see, relax.

-Here to here.
-Okay.

Elio and César have begun working.

-And working over there are...
-Elda and Erick.

-As a youngster, I fought some cholos...
-Okay. Six.

-I thought it was bigger.
-Really?

The pressure is on.

It's like, "If you don't turn you right,
I might be eliminated." Just imagine.

-Help me.
-Sure, babe.

The nose.

-No!
-Yeah. Don't drop the nose.

If we don't do it right,
the cake might fall.

-Did it break?
-A bit, but add some paste.

No, I'm not adding anything.

We have to be careful, or we won't finish.

What's your favorite fruit?

I love mangos.

-Guava too. I'm from Aguascalientes.
-Guava, okay.

-I enjoy drinking from time to time.
-Okay.

-During celebrations.
-A shot.

Take a final look. Make me look handsome.

Very handsome.

Just my luck. The team with the least
amount of time will make me.

No, Capi, don't worry.

We'll do everything we can,
no matter how it turns out.

The advantage is that I'm already ugly.
There's not much you can do.

-Have you made face cakes?
-Yes.

Hyperrealistic ones?

I taught my students how to make faces.

I took lots of courses
and got some art certificates.

Realism is a project
that takes a lot of time,

but we don't have time here.

-Ready? Is the mixture in the oven?
-Yes, it is.

I have to do a two-day job
in just three hours. Imagine that.

It's a challenge.

We'll do something a bit smaller
than a regular human face.

A face is huge,
and it would take too long.

-You're in the zone, right?
-Yes. Know what?

-What?
-I need to pee.

I need to pee.

Hey, Capi. Look at the tiny head.

I'm not making fun of your head.

Good luck.

-Thank you.
-Thanks, Capi.

-Renterías, work your magic.
-Thanks, Capi.

-What's up?
-I need to pee.

-What do you mean?
-I have to go.

-Baby, there's no time to pee.
-I'll pee here.

-Do you like this color?
-Yes.

-What? Are you tired?
-Yes. And I am a runner.

You're not done yet.

-Does it look like her?
-The jaw is key.

Daniel and Natalia's cake
looks very cylindrical.

-Yes.
-How do you feel, Elizabeth?

Very nervous because...

I don't know.

I'll put it in the fridge
to polish it, okay?

-Okay.
-It's very cylindrical.

When I get to the fridge...

A piece of Elizabeth's head falls off.

-It fell off, Nat.
-What fell off?

-The top. It was too soft.
-How come?

No!

It had too much filling. It's very hot.

-I need to pee.
-What?

-No.
-Yes.

-Erick.
-What can I do?

Give me a break.

-I'll pee my pants if I don't go.
-Pee here.

-There's the garbage can.
-Yes.

I was born with a child-size bladder.

-What can I do?
-No!

Sorry, excuse me.
I'll put this in the oven and leave.

-No!
-Yes.

Can you hold it?

I can't hold it, dude. I can't. There.

Give me a break. He went to pee.

A participant left?

-Did he leave?
-Yeah. He went to pee.

Then he complains about me, but here I am.

What happened there?

I don't know. Elda's yelling.

How long does it take you to pee?

I am here by myself,
and I'm going like this. Look. Like this.

Give it five minutes. It'll be ready then.

Hey, where is Erick?

-It's taking him a while.
-For real.

-She feels abandoned.
-Yeah, he left her.

I would be angry. I'm already angry.

Oh, where is he?

-Here he comes!
-I'm back!

-Two minutes.
-That was not cool.

I came back with clean hands, not...
Look, soap.

Do you need help?

-No.
-Good. Are you okay?

-I'm good. Yes.
-Great.

Bakers!

You have two hours
to finish your beautiful replica,

and you have to hurry
if you want to save some time

for the finale, if you make it.

-We're behind.
-We're ahead of the others.

We began earlier, and we have two hours.

We have to hurry
and finish before the other teams.

-Where's my knife?
-Are you thinking...?

-Honey, I'm looking for...
-No, there. I cut it.

Honey, excuse me. I am assembling.
I'm preparing my ingredients.

I had to make the ganache... So, relax.

I've always thought that working
with your partner is difficult

because being that close to someone
can lead to arguments.

It's not the same
as working with a colleague...

Totally. She has a strong personality.

As women should.

-You should say, "We're okay."
-Yes. We're okay.

-Just hurry.
-Yes, sorry.

I see myself in Efraín for a few reasons.

Like me, he's from Aguascalientes,

and he does everything
that his wife orders him to do.

It's still hot. This is still hot.

That's tough.

With all these problems, God,
I don't want to collapse.

When chocolate touches something hot...

-It's tricky.
-It melts.

But these contrasting temperatures
help it become very solid.

We saw that time really is... fundamental.

-It's really a very difficult challenge.
-Yes, I know.

Maybe it's because
they have the most perfect model.

So that requires some thoroughness.

It's too much pressure.
I hadn't felt this before, César.

I can't do it anymore.

What?

We'll work it out. Don't worry.

-I feel helpless.
-Is it always like this?

This is the first time
they've needed a break

to realign their energy.

Normally, when we've seen them work,
they're in a total rush.

I feel helpless because I know
that when you are baking,

many things can happen
that you can't control, but...

Relax. It's like in life.

-You fall, you get up, and it works out.
-I know.

-I know you have my back. We'll win this.
-We'll fix it.

I think my sister's hug
gave me energy to finish this challenge.

The one on the left is awesome.

-This one?
-Yes.

-Can you tell who is ahead?
-I think they are.

-Elda and Erick too.
-Yeah.

-I look old, right?
-It still needs hair. Wait.

I look like I'm on my deathbed.

Hey, what's up with this? It's horrible.

-I know.
-The color won't stick.

-It does not hold the color.
-No.

This will never be ready.
Look at the color.

-Yeah, it's ugly.
-We're stressed.

Gris, let's go see
how the boys are turning out.

-Yeah, I'm dying to know.
-Maybe they need help.

-Let's see.
-Take care of my jowls.

-I'll have them slice them off.
-Yes.

My God, the ladies are coming this way.

This is not the time for visitors.

-I'm like this.
-Smile.

A natural smile.

Hey, I just noticed
that it is a mini Luis.

-A mini Luis.
-Right? Didn't you want to make it a bit...?

He still needs hair and shoulders.

-That creates volume.
-Yes, all that.

-What's the green stuff?
-It's for his green shirt. He's exotic.

You are adding color.

I thought, "Maybe he's making Shrek."

We have to highlight
Elizabeth's elegance and beauty.

So, it has to be on her level.

It looks like our character, Nati.

I know it's not a perfect sculpture,
as I would like,

but I think it's not too bad.

This looks amazing, right, Gris?

Yes, I actually like it. The pointy nose...

Everything. You're making Capi look good.

Are you a bit more relaxed?

Yes. We are.

We had those problems,
but my sister, honestly...

She's been an important part of my life
since we were kids because...

she supports me professionally
and emotionally.

She's always been a fighter,
someone who always...

-I'm going to cry.
-She has the strength.

She gets back up,
and she's a source of great inspiration.

-How nice.
-César and I have always been together.

When one of us falls, the other one
helps us get back up and encourages us.

-Yes.
-Stretch them as curls.

-Should I help you glue them?
-No.

-Curls?
-I'll do it.

-Flat. Mark them.
-I'll roll them flat.

-We'll make curls.
-Gris's replica will be...

-Eshpeshial.
-Eshpeshial.

Bakers!

For some of you,
the last 60 minutes have officially begun.

-Hurry!
-Come on!

Push down.

Your hair is a mess, César.

What did you expect?

I cut my hand.

-Are you hurt?
-Yes.

-Badly? Let me see.
-I'm fine.

Oh, sis.

Darn it.

Oh, God.

-Do you want a napkin?
-Yes, give me one.

Badly? Let me see.

Let me see. No, let me see.

-That must hurt. Tie this around it.
-No, give me that.

That makes it harder.
She can't use her hand.

I pushed too hard.

-Know what? Let's do our best.
-Use a napkin. Wear gloves.

-Yes.
-What happened?

Elio has been a fighter
since she was a kid.

Nothing stops her, and I know
she'll give this challenge her all.

I want to continue.

Cover your hand.

We'll put curls inside
because I can't cover this area.

-Okay.
-You have the eyes you asked for, right?

-Yes.
-I'll keep working on the hair.

They keep doing things,
and it looks the same.

How about I help and do my own makeup?

-Is the mouth finished?
-Not yet.

Don't fall.

Thinner.

I will push this down a bit.

Elda and Erick are
on the finishing touches, applying steam.

They're ironing me.

They iron very well.

Just make the macarons.

I think it looks great,
but we have to hurry.

There isn't much time left.
We're doing the final details.

Put it there.

Move this ear back a bit.

-César, this ear.
-No, it's okay.

No, it's too close, and it's big.

Elio and César are still taking care of
the final touches at their station.

-Move it back.
-No, it's fine.

It should be there.

Stop. Let's leave it like that.
Fifteen minutes.

-Already? They're done.
-No. Really?

They finished and broke
the button! Amazing!

Hurry!

-We're pressing the button.
-We'll do it.

Yes.

Sandra and Efraín have finished too!

TIME REMAINING

We have a Pastelitos cake.

The other two teams haven't finished.

-The other way.
-Daniel and Natalia have finished.

-I think we're ready.
-Let's press the button.

-They also finished! I can't believe it!
-Bravo!

-We're only missing you.
-Yeah, just me.

We need to light this one
Careful. No! Careful.

I feel the heat. What's going on?

-It's getting lighter.
-Leave it.

Time is running out.

I don't know if it looks good or not,
but we have Capi.

Ten minutes, Elio and César,

for me to exist
in the cake-themed universe.

Look, grab it here. I'll put it there.

How about my jacket?

Darn it, no jacket.

-Okay.
-Come on!

Well done!

We have a full cake-themed universe.

We're finishing up with a group hug.

Give me a break. That was stressful!

-We made it!
-We did it!

Well done!

Capi, you destroyed us today.

It's the moment of truth.

Let's face ourselves. Ready?

-Ready. Let's go.
-Let's go.

Elda and Erick, double E.

-An intense journey.
-Very intense.

-But you did a good job.
-We hope so.

Chef, are you ready to see your cake self?

I am.

Turn it around in three, two, one, now!

-There it is.
-Wow!

-It's like seeing myself in a mirror.
-Yes.

-No, wait.
-Like a doppelganger.

Wow, there you go.

-Yes.
-An intellectual touch.

-It's identical.
-The glasses.

-Amazing.
-Let's take the official portrait.

Try to make the same face as the cake.

It's so detailed.
I don't know how you were able to do it.

It's so weird.

It's impressive.

The side profile,
the lines next to your nose.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

When I get a figure at the wax museum,
I want it to be like this.

Okay.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-Ready, Gris?
-Yes.

Let's see the encounter...

-Careful, Efraín.
-Now!

-Hey!
-Wow!

Glitter!

Are you kidding? You're identical.

Pose next to her, please. Look how pretty.

The highlight
is the whole Mis Pastelitos vibe.

I think this cake has my personality.

-The peach.
-We did our homework.

It was your daughter's first onesie.

Thanks. Because I told them
the best day of my life

was when my baby was born.

-Yes.
-And now she's a part of my cakes.

-Exactly.
-Nice gesture to touch her heart.

-This Gris is eshpeshial.
-Eshpeshial.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

Did you ever imagine
someone would make a cake of you?

Never in my life. Never. I never imagined.

-Ready?
-Yeah.

Show us your Elizabeth cake.

Wow!

The eyes, the eyebrows.

It's amazing.

Let's take the official photo.

I think what you achieved,

especially with the colors
and the proportions, is amazing.

Maybe I was expecting
something a bit more...

All the others have taller busts,
but it's impressive.

-I'm speechless.
-Thank you.

You look very classy.

And you're wearing makeup.

Yeah, I'm wearing blush and lipstick.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

You made a work of art
in very little time.

Thank you very much.

Elio and César will show us
their most beautiful work ever.

Are you ready, Capi?

-Three, two, one.
-Two...

-Now!
-Wow!

Capi Junior!

Look, I'll put this on...

He's my son. I have to take care of him.

The chain. This too.

Look at that.

-Yes! It looks like him.
-Yes, it does.

Move back. I'll take the official photo.

Okay.

Wow.

When you cut yourself,
you looked eager to get back.

Yeah.

And that is the spirit of...
of a baker, right?

And...

All of that is captured in a confection.

It has depth.

It has Capi's smile, his essence,

and that's hard to capture, the soul.

The cake should not only look
like the person

but have their personality.

I think this is a great achievement.
Congratulations.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Elda and Erick,
bring us your cakes, please.

I don't know what will happen.

The competition is tough.

During the last episode,
you said we should take some risks,

and we did that.

So, I said
I'll make a brownie-like sponge cake,

a milk chocolate cream,
a passion fruit jelly,

and we added some chocolate with nuts,
almonds, and a touch of salt on top.

I suddenly tasted
a capirotada-like flavor.

Since you're from the North, I don't know
if it's the combination of it all.

Lots of chocolate flavor.
It contrasts with the acidity.

It's very good.

And the milk chocolate cream
looks a bit curdled.

Okay.

This time, we really need
a winning flavor.

We added two sauces for the two twins.

We used a blueberry sauce
and a raspberry sauce.

We also have a vanilla sponge cake
and we added some cheese cream.

I think that the cheese cream
should have been mixed

into the cake somehow.

Not just added at the end.

I loved the cheese cream. It's amazing.

But I think
that when you put everything together,

it doesn't work.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

It's time for Gris to taste Gris.

We made a sponge cake
with a cotton candy extract

and we added
an American cheesecake filling,

and a peach and vanilla bean compote.

We tried to make a fluffy sponge cake.

The consistency
of the sponge cake is different.

It is hard to make a cake
with cotton candy taste good.

Visually, this is the kind of thing
that I like,

so you gave me everything I need.

I love the sponge cake. It has this...

Oh, it's fluffy, perfect.
So, congratulations. I loved it.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

-Send us vibes, good vibes.
-Vibes, good vibes.

For this cake,
we used a butter sponge cake

and Capi's favorite fruit.

We made a mango mousse and a mango compote
to counteract the lemon cream.

I'm surprised you didn't mention
the chocolate

because the first mouthful was icing.

No, we used chocolate to repair the cake.

-You should have mentioned it.
-Okay.

After seeing your work,
I imagined a different presentation.

I love lemon,
it's one of my favorite ingredients,

but I didn't taste it.

I expected more from you.

The time has come to make decisions.

Elizabeth will tell us who are
the judges' two favorite teams

who, remember, will get half an hour

and one hour for the finale,
if they make it.

The runners-up are...

-Sandra and Efraín. Bravo!
-Well done.

You transported us to Gris's world.
Congratulations.

-Being in the top two is amazing.
-Cool.

And the cake that earned one hour

for the finale,
for being the museum's best piece

and because of the flavor is...

Elda and Erick. Congratulations!

We made such an effort that...

No. Thanks.

Elio, César, Daniel, Natalia.

Come to the front

because both teams are at risk
of leaving Sugar Rush: The Baking Point.

We think it wasn't so bad.

We tried our best.

Gris, who has to leave
Sugar Rush: The Baking Point?

-Being here feels horrible.
-I'm telling you.

I think both cakes
were very beautiful, honestly.

You showed lots of talent,

but it's the small details,
sometimes it's the flavor, or...

That leads us to make a final decision,

and that's why the team that I think
should leave the competition is...

Daniel and Natalia.

I feel shocked. I mean, really?

The presentation of both teams
was impeccable,

but when it came to the taste,
they both made some mistakes.

The team that I feel
should leave this competition is...

Natalia and Daniel.

This moment feels so horrible.

You have two votes.

That means you have to leave
Sugar Rush: The Baking Point.

ELIMINATED

Thanks to all the people
who have always believed in us.

Listen, bakers.

Everything that is going to happen to you
will change.

Daniel and Natalia,
you will remain at your station.

The three teams
that are still participating

will have to leave

because you won't bake
during the next episode.

Please.

I don't understand. Anything could happen,

but I feel a bit more relieved
and confident.

We don't know. My God, what will happen?

You and the two teams

that have already been eliminated

will have the chance to come back directly

to the
Sugar Rush: The Baking Point semifinal.

One more chance.

But four stations are lit up.

Because there is a surprise fourth team

who will also attempt to redeem themselves
in this sweet competition.

Who could it be?
