That first challenge, the signature, is a two hour one where each is to make a Korean lunchbox cake. As it is more a style in being small, layered and served in a takeout container, it provides the bakers with much leeway to add their personality, most who are turning to the ethnic background and/or flavors from where they live, as well as the type of cake sponge they like. Their apprehension arguably ratchets up a notch entering the two hour technical, where they are asked to make a bolo de cenoura, a Brazilian version of a carrot cake. Beyond the blender cake which many bakers will be unfamiliar with, they have to demonstrate many different techniques including tempering chocolate and candying specifically carrot strips. And the final challenge, the four hour showstopper, before Bruno and Kyla name the first star baker and the first baker asked to leave the tent, is to make what Alan and Ann are calling a home grown cake, which is anything that represents where the baker lives or has lived.
