Hello, welcome to the Baker's Assistant. I'm your host, Enzo Allen, and this is a show where we find Baker's best baker. Please welcome our two contestants who are willing to compete for a spot at the Wellamorities famous bakery, the Toothpour Faye. Hi, my name is Melani Grant, and I'm from a small town called Greenville, in Oregon. I used to be a chef at my family's restaurant for five years, but one day our pastry chef finished show up and the rest of his history. Hi, I'm Borough Flore, I'm a baker from San Francisco, California. I've been baking everything since I was three years old. My Nana and I would bake something special for our family dinners every Sunday, making it brings me great comfort. In today's challenge, we have our finalists who are going to try out their skill. We have three secret ingredients that we're going to reveal to them and see how they can incorporate in their final product. The ingredients are cherries, dark chocolate, and grapefruit. Your hour and 30 minutes starts now. The three judges based season are well-renowned chefs and bakers, Jade, Joan, Vue Roy, and Vialam Raid. So, Kora, what will you be making today? I am making cherry grapefruit cupcakes with a cherry frosting and chocolate chocs on them. Thank you. So Melani, what will you be preparing for us today? Today, preparing a chocolate chip and cherry cookie with grapefruit and cherry frosting. Bakers, 30 minutes left in the clock. I'm a little bit stressed out. I actually put baking soda instead of baking powder in the cupcake batter and now all that batter has gone to waste. So, as I start back from scratch. I put a little too much salt into the mix. I kept adding some sugar to balance it out so hopefully the judges like it. Oh my gosh, I just put my cupcakes in the oven. I don't think I'll have enough time to cool them before I frost them. Or else the frosting will melt off. All right, bakers, 20 minutes left on the clock. You should be making your frosting by now. Oh my gosh. There's a slighty off. It's okay, man, I'm glad to. I'm terrified. I made the batter. I feel like it's going to be way better. I didn't mix up the baking soda and baking powder. But I feel like I did put it a little bit too much sugar. But I then frosted the cupcakes a little too soon while they were still warm. They got really melted and they look horrendous. Bakers, 10 seconds remaining. Have your presentation wise? What do you always think? I really like the earth tones and I really like how the brown compliments agree. Yeah, personally, I think I love the way that it's just smooth and nice. It's not too much to see at once. I think it's rustic. And it's a little nice, other too dirty, in a way. It reminds me of a farm. Didn't she group in San Francisco and for a while? Oh my goodness. I remember reading that on the thing. What I really like about Milani's presentation is that it reminds me of that one new bakery. And I really like how the neutral tones match with the shades of pink and red. Yes, I'm quite excited for this one. I loved the little decor she put on top, but I'll see. I don't know if it'll compliment the cookie. This one is bloody lovely. It's so beautiful. I love the little pink tones. It's it being a restaurant. It's restaurant quality. Let's try. Let's try a chorus first. I'm afraid to get dirty. Okay. 32. It's a good little mousse. It's not too sweet. It's quite nice. I love the way she filled the inside of a cupcake as well. The grapefruit juice, I believe, makes it really moist. That's something I really do like. Try Milani's now. I like this one. I think the flavors complement each other well. I just wish that the cherry on top was a little bit smoother to bite. This one is beautiful. The flavors burst. They really complement each other. She did really well with the cookie and the grapefruit. The little zest on it, beautiful. Yes, I agree. This reminds me of a lot of American cookie, which is with a firm sort of make sense. I really do enjoy the melted chocolate. It's really good. All right, judges. What's the verdict? Who's today's famous assistant? I really liked Milani's cookie. It's that way, no? I agree as well. The cupcake was amazing as well. I just think that there was a little bit too much baking soda in this one. I know that she had a redo with the batter, but this one still has a little bit too much. I think she was set back extremely with the misstep that she had. Although it came out nice. I just think maybe you had a little bit more time. It would have came out perfect. Yes, and my bakery, everyone's put under a lot of stress, and these mistakes cannot be happening at that level. And so please bring the baker's back in. We have come to a verdict, bakers. The baker that will be coming home to France with me is Milani Grant. Porra, your cupcake was delicious. The only thing is that you put too much baking soda, and I understand you're under a lot of pressure, but there's always pressure at my bakery. Well, a little bit disappointed. I thought this was going to be my season, but it wasn't. You know, I know I tried my hardest, and that's all that matters. You know what? There's always next season. We'll see you on the next season of Bakers Assistant.
