My name is Karen and I'm the owner
of Bredenbeck's Bakery and Ice Cream Parlor.
I'm Diana, and I'm the head
Decorator at Bredenbeck's Bakery.
We've been in business since 1889.
So I'd have to say that my design style
would be bright, colorful, whimsical.
I'm the kind of person who loves to use
every crayon in the crayon box, the more color, the better.
So my plan for the royal wedding cake is...
I think the thing should reflect the couple a little bit,
so the bottom of the cake is gonna be an English garden
with topiaries and just gorgeous hedging,
and then I'm going to make gum paste flowers,
that are gonna be so realistic,
bumblebees are gonna want to land on them.
At the very top of my cake, I'm going to do two foxes.
Absolutely adorable and totally in love.
She's a California girl, so I thought
the outside's kinda more reflecting him,
so let's make the inside a little bit more about her.
It's really light and airy and we have
fantastic American buttercream.
Our cake is totally gonna win, because
we are cutting edge, we're thinking outside of the box,
I'm coming at you from a completely different angle
than everybody else, we're just that good.
Diana and Karen, let's see the cake!
That cake is adorable.
It really does look like a storybook,
it's absolutely a fantasy.
I think the details on the gum paste flowers
are impeccable, I think that even the brushed embroidery,
like the floral tiers, I think is beautiful.
I like that it tells a story, I just don't know
if it is too whimsical for a royal wedding.
Bruno's has been around for about, what, 38 years now?
38, 40 years, yeah.
We take pride in the fact that
all our cakes taste as good as they look.
It's interesting how me and you are different
in decorating cakes and our style in the kitchen.
Yeah. He's a nut.
I'm the more, what do they call it, traditional?
Square, you're very square. Eh, not traditional
When it comes to cakes, I really love to paint on cakes.
I'll take a paintbrush one day and just
throw color on a cake, the cake is my canvas, basically.
So the plan for the royal wedding cake,
we always start with the inside out.
It's gonna be a lemon poppyseed cake,
with a lemon french cream with a blueberry,
are we doing compote, fresh blues, what are we doing?
Fresh blueberry compote. Fresh blueberry compote.
So we're doing a square, about
six tier, four feet tall cake for them.
But we have separations in between,
so then the separations we're making look like a
Chandelier.
With some leaf work coming up,
and it's gonna light up in the middle.
I think this cake's gonna have that
royal touch that we're looking for.
The flavor's definitely all us.
When it comes to our competition, I wish them a lot of luck.
They're really gonna need it.
They have no chance, no chance.
Sorry, but it's gonna be the Bruno's brothers all the way.
So Joseph and Sal are here.
That's gorgeous, you guys. Thank you.
What did you think of this cake?
Well again, I think the cake is beautiful,
I'm gonna start with the inside out,
because I really thought that your cake
really tasted the best.
I wish there was more refined details on it.
Our cake decorating style is clean, sophisticated.
We're classically trained in traditional
Italian and French technique.
We can be perfectionists sometimes,
but we like that about ourselves.
Yes.
Our plan for the royal wedding cake is
we're gonna have our normal crisp, clean lines,
but for a touch of royal sparkle we're gonna
incorporate some sugar jewels,
similar to her engagement ring.
For the cake flavors, we're going to do
a light lemon sponge cake with
a lavender berry buttercream filling.
On the bottom tier we're incorporating
a little bit of a different shape,
the hexagon shape, so that it's a little more modern,
because Meghan likes to stay on top of trends.
She was a calligrapher, which is kind of interesting,
'cause Nancy's a calligrapher as well.
We're using a quote from him, about her,
it's very adorable, we wanna take different aspects
from things that we've learned about Harry and Meghan
and combine them to make something
really unique and personalized.
Our cake's just gonna be perfect, and beautiful,
and if I was Meghan I would choose it.
So Nancy and Gina, can we see your cake?
Wow Yep.
From a technical standpoint, your cake is the hardest.
Yeah, most complicated. It's got the most techniques
But they're all amazing, these are
world-class, epic cakes. Yeah, 100%.
I love that you, the gold with the blush and the pink.
And the calligraphy,
it's very personal to her story.
It really is, and it's got a really royal sense to it.
I thought the sponge was a little dry,
(laughing)
Okay, which cake was the best?
(shouting from audience)
So who wins the double crown today?
It's tough.
This was very, very, very, very, very, very tough,
okay, and you should all be very very proud.
It's an hour long show body!
And the winners are! (cheering)
