The eight remaining bakers are in for a magical surprise when host Jesse Palmer transforms into a magician, turning ordinary candles into delicious edible treats right before their eyes. For their first challenge, the bakers must draw inspiration from a scented candle and create a dessert that features an edible candle that actually lights and enhances the overall experience of the dish. Then, the competition heats up as the bakers go head-to-head in a challenge that combines two iconic spring favorites, lemon meringue pie and carrot cake. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown and Nancy Fuller decide who did each flavor the best.
