>>> WE NOW RETURN TO THE HOLIDAY BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP, ON THE FOOD
CHANNEL. >> ALL RIGHT, BAKERS,
HOLIDAY WISHES WHERE YOU HAD TWO HOURS TO MAKE THE CAKE OF YOUR
HOLIDAY DREAMS. FIRST UP, BEFORE THE JUDGES, IS
HOME BAKER, LOUISA. >> MERRY CHRISTMAS YOUR HONOR.
>> OH, LOUISA, WE'RE NOT THAT KIND OF JUDGES.
>> OKAY. WHY DON'T YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR
CAKE. THANK YOU.
GROWING UP IN TEXAS, SNOW IS A RARITY, SO I DREAMT UP A WINTER
WONDERLAND MADE OF PEPPERMINT BUTTER CREAM.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE MR. ELF HAS TAKEN A DAY OFF FROM HIS SHELF,
WITH HIS TAFFY SKIS, FONDANT MITTENS AND COCONUT LIME SKI
HATS. >> THAT IS SO CUTE, LOUISA, AND
I LOVE THE SENSE OF MOTION. ARE YOU READY TO SHOW US?
>> I AM. I MESSED UP.
IT'S BAD. >> OH, NO, WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU GET TOO AMBITIOUS? >> YEAH, BIT OFF MORE THAN I
COULD CHEW, AND THEN I CHOKED ON THAT BITE, AND THEN I THREW UP
THIS. >> AND THE LEGS?
>> ARE PLASTIC BABY DOLL. I AM SORRY.
>> SHOULD WE TASTE IT? >> AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT
ALLERGIC TO MUSTARD. >> WOW.
WELL, NOT A GREAT START. BUT OUR NEXT PERSON UP, IS
AMATEUR COLLEGE STUDENT, WILLIAM.
>> HI, JUDGES. >> HI, WILLIAM.
I LOVE YOUR HAT. WHY DON'T YOU TELL US ABOUT
YOURSELF.
>> WELL, MA'AM, FRANKLY, I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE TODAY,
BECAUSE TWO YEARS AGO I WAS HIT BY A CAR.
>> YOU POOR THING. HIT BY A CAR?
>> YES MA'AM. IT WAS A COSTUME CHARACTER OF
LIGHTENING McQUEEN AT DISNEY WORLD.
IN MY DEFENSE, I WAS DRUNK. >> WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL US
ABOUT YOUR CHRISTMAS WISH?
>> WELL, MY CHRISTMAS WISH, IS ONE OF DIVERSITY AND PEACE.
SO I MADE A CAKE WITH SANTA'S FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
EL NINO DIOS FROM MEXICO, BABA NOEL FROM AFGHANISTAN AND
HOEIOSHO FROM JAPAN.
>> OH, MY GOODNESS, THAT'S MAYBE THE MOST INSPIRED DESIGNED
CONCEPT WE'VE HAD ON THIS SHOW. >> I KNOW.
I'M TEARING UP, JUST A LITTLE BIT, THINKING ABOUT IT.
>> CAN WE SEE IT? >> OF COURSE.
>> OH, GOD. IT DIDN'T WORK.
>> WHAT IS THAT? >> OH, GOD.
I DON'T KNOW. I PUT IT ALL IN THE OVEN, AND
THEN IT CAME OUT LIKE THIS. >> CAN WE SHOW THAT CAKE ON TV?
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE -- LOOKS
LIKE ONE OF TWO THINGS. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT. >> WELL, WHY IS IT PUCKERING?
>> I THINK IT MAYBE NEEDS TO GO OUTSIDE?
>> WHAT, NO, I DON'T LIKE THAT. NEXT.
>> WELL, NEXT UP IS SANDY. TELL US ABOUT YOUR CAKE.
>> WELL, MY CHRISTMAS WISH WAS ALSO ONE OF UNITY, SO I MADE A
CAKE DEPICTING CHILDREN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SINGING AROUND
THE TREE. TADA.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? >> OH, CUTE.
>> NEXT UP IS RALPH. >> I'M SORRY, WAIT, THAT'S IT.
THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO SAY. >> IT'S JUST KIND OF BUSY.
MY EYE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. >> ALSO, YOU KIND OF COPIED
WILLIAM'S CONCEPT. >> BUT, HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE A
CAKE HE MADE -- OH, MY GOD! >> WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE
WILLIAM? >> OH, GOD!
THE CHOCOLATE LAVA CENTER MAYBE GOT TOO HOT.
I DON'T KNOW. STOP.
OH, MY LIFE IS CURSED, AND SO IS THIS CAKE.
>> EW, I SEE CORN. >> NO.
IT'S A MARSHMALLOW. GROW UP!
>> OKAY. WELL, LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS
RALPH. RALPH, I'M THINKING THIS ONE'S
YOURS TO LOOSE, PAL. WHAT WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS WISH?
>> MY WISH IS FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE EVERY CHRISTMAS, BUT
WHEN YOU DO, OH, BOY, IS IT SPECIAL.
>> LET'S SEE IT. >> SO, IT'S A CHRISTMAS TURKEY?
>> NO, SIR, IT'S PENIS AND BALLS, OF COURSE.
>> GOT IT, NICE JOB. >> NICE JOB?
>> OH, HELP, PLEASE. NO!
IT'S GOT ME. PLEASE!
>> WOW. WELL, WE HAVE ANOTHER TOUGH
DECISION TO MAKE. >> YEAH, BUT NOT SANDY, RIGHT?
>> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE JUDGE'S DECISION, RIGHT AFTER
THIS. >> NO, SERIOUSLY, I NEED HELP,
YOU GUYS, PLEASE [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
