Synopsis

There's a certain magic in waking to the aroma of a holiday brunch, and now Jesse Palmer presents the final challenge to the three remaining bakers: a Christmas morning spread infused with classic flavors of gingerbread, cinnamon, and eggnog. The bakers must craft cakes that feature a distinctive plaid pattern, visible both within and without. Judges Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman, and Lorraine Pascale will determine the Holiday Baking Champion, bestowing upon the victor a $25,000 prize.
