“Indiana Fails and theTemple of Slop” brought us 3 fresh new bakers- Cheri Kelly, a retired grandmother; Caroline Stapleton, a lawyer and soon to be mother of 2; and JJ Woodward, an accountant and cryptozoology/big foot lover. Our host Nicole Byer and “Archeologist of Chocolate” Jaques Torres were joined by returning judge Gemma Stafford, professional baker and cookbook author.

In the Baker’s Choice round, contestants are charged with the task of making chocolate hatching eggs. Each baker had their own set of challenges making hallow chocolate eggs and cake pop figures to go on top.

The Nail It or Fail It challenge came with the simple task of constructing a cake that resembled the Buried Secrets Sphinx. The cake was made of three layers, had white chocolate mummies hidden through out, and was painted with edible gold paint. All of the bakers did their best, but only one came out on top winning $10,000.

• Today's after show was hosted by Kay Montgomery, Alyse Acosta, Lisa K Satchell, and Eric Jewell.
