Piped Dreams

Eight of the worst bakers in America enter boot camp with hopes of going from kitchen disasters to baking masters. Chefs Lorraine Pascale and Jason Smith see what they're dealing with by asking the recruits to recreate their dream desserts. Once the teams have been chosen, the recruits do their best to not get sent home by creating twelve of their own uniquely designed cookies for their "cookie feed."

Piece of Cake

The party is just getting started as the remaining recruits prepare for their first skill drill. But first, they must identify a variety of cake ingredients using only their sense of touch. For the main bake challenge, the recruits go out of this world with multi-colored mirror glazed cakes. Some will pass with flying colors while the worst on each team will be sent packing.

Life's a Circus

Boot camp has been transformed into a circus fairground complete with a wall of cotton candy! The recruits begin with a blind cotton-candy tasting before the opposing teams go head-to-head in a cookie dough pop challenge. There's no clowning around in the main bake challenge, however, as the recruits tackle one of the most difficult pastries -- pate a choux. Those who make show-worthy cream puffs get to stick around while the bottom two get sent home.
