Bake Squad (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Kicking Cancer Celebration - full transcript

[neon buzzing]

-[intro music plays]
-[man] ♪ Show me what you're cookin' ♪

[woman] I'm Christina Tosi,

the founder of Milk Bar.

I built a baking empire
on sweet, delicious cookie dough,

and now I've built a squad

to make people's dessert dreams come true.

Christophe,

a pastry illusionist.

Maya-Camille,

a flavor fanatic.



Gonzo,

a champion of chocolate.

And Ashley,

the queen of cakes.

Individually, four brilliant bakers.

But I brought them together
to battle it out

and see whose dessert will be chosen
for someone's big day.

This is Bake Squad.

[intro music stops]

[laughs]

What is that?

It's my dance.

[all laughing]

-I just like to twerk.
-Oh, really?



Excuse me. Keep it PG.
What are y'all doing? You're at work.

-Hello.
-Hi, Christina.

-[Tosi] Hello.
-Hello.

Guys, Bake Squad, this is Nina.

-Hi, Nina.
-Hi, Nina.

How are you?

Nina reached out to me
because she needs Bake Squad's help.

There's absolutely no way
we couldn't take this challenge on.

Nina, fill us in.

The event is for my daughter.

-[Tosi] There she is.
-There she is.

-Her name is Daryl.
-How cute.

Look at her dimples!

We're celebrating her fight against cancer

for five years.

[silently mouthing] Wow.

-Wow.
-She has kicked cancer's butt.

[all cheer]

Yeah!

Yes!

She has overcome,

and we are here to celebrate.

Tell us more about her.

Well, she's an esthetician.

Oh, okay.

-[Tosi] So, makeup?
-[Nina] Yeah.

Anything that has to do with glam,
she's very good at it.

-She loves--
-Is this a cake pop?

Yeah, that's a cake pop,
and she loves cake pops.

She loves milk chocolate.

-Yes!
-[laughs]

This guy--

This is my party!

Gonzo, milk chocolate. That's it.

If it's milk chocolate,
we're in like Flynn.

[Tosi] Okay.

Would you say
that she likes tropical fruit?

Yeah. My people are from Puerto Rico.

-Tamarind, coconut, mango…
-Now I'm hungry.

-Yeah.
-[Tosi] Talk to me about candy.

She likes Abba-Zabas, Choward's Violets,

gummy bears, Jolly Ranchers, lollipops.

Cool!

-Oh, she also likes a Bavarian pretzel.
-Okay.

And then you take Laffy Taffy,
and you wrap it around.

What? Are you serious?

-Yes. You could get this at the fair--
-I've never heard of this.

It's just a party for your mouth.

[laughs]

Can I ask, where do all these
crazy combinations come from?

You make sunshine with what you have.

-All right.
-I love you.

-Gotta be creative.
-[Nina] Yes.

-[Christophe] Yeah.
-You know those big kosher pickles?

You put a peppermint stick
in the middle of the pickle?

-Yes.
-I thought that was a Chicago thing!

-Wait, do you know this move?
-Yes! My mama did that.

-It's street food.
-I was about to say that.

[laughing]

I think it goes without saying,
but I can't help but ask,

why does Daryl deserve this?

-[poignant music plays]
-Hmm.

[Christophe] Hmm.

The day we found out
what type of cancer she had,

I was a basket case.

And when I looked--

[emotionally] When I looked up at her,

that's what she was doing.

Fighter.

Didn't quit. Didn't complain.

Didn't cry. [emotional chuckle]

I have to tell you something.
[voice cracking] My mom died from cancer.

And I just wish I could have done
a party like this for her.

So I'm gonna do my best.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's gonna be Bake Squad's
absolute privilege

to make sure that your party

has a dessert centerpiece

that is just as remarkable
as your daughter.

-[Gonzo] Yeah, we will.
-Absolutely.

-Yes.
-Thank you so much.

So, Bake Squad, bring all your heart
into the kitchen today.

Nina, when we see you back here,

you are going to have
four incredible desserts to taste.

[Nina laughing]

And there, Nina,
the difficult decision happens.

'Cause you're going to have to choose
one dessert.

[Tosi] Nina will be back
at the end of the day.

That gives you seven hours
to complete your desserts.

You gotta get to work.

-Come with it, you guys. Come with it.
-Let's go!

[upbeat pop song plays]

Go, go, go!

♪ 'Cause we know what's good ♪

What we gonna do today? Makeup, makeup..

What are you thinking about making?

I'm thinking of doing various cake pops.

Definitely embracing
the Puerto Rican flavors.

Making it into, like,
a bouquet of flowers.

-Okay.
-What about you?

I wanna make, like,
a giant chocolate bust of her.

Something that you could see her
in a museum kind of thing.

I'm thinking about something big.
Around 60 or 70 pounds of chocolate.

Good Lord.

Well, if you're doing 60 pounds,
then I have to quadruple my bouquet.

-I was thinking of three feet.
-You going bigger?

I'm going up against a 60-pound chocolate.

-I like it.
-Of course I have to go bigger.

-Ash.
-Hey.

-How you doing?
-Good. There's so many-- There's a lot--

There's a lot spinning.

What really stuck for you?

That moment
with the Laffy Taffy and the pretzel.

They kind of, like, bring back
that memory of them

melting down candies together.

So you're playing, like, Daryl's love
of, like, nostalgic American candy?

-Exactly.
-How do you bring them to life together?

[indistinct whispering]

[Tosi] Oh!

[Ashley] What do you think?

That would be a surprise.

-You focus on making those magnificent…
-Uh-huh.

…and I got your back
on the other piece. Deal?

-Deal.
-Good luck. This is exciting.

I'm pretty pumped about the idea
for the presentation.

Just… just trust me here.
I think it's gonna be cool

and really wow people.

[pop singer vocalizing]

Christophe.
I wanna hear what you're thinking.

She loves cosmetics, so the idea
is to make a big stand of makeup, right?

Eye shadows made of marshmallow,
different flavor.

Maybe two or three other components

that you will see on a makeup stand.

-Okay.
-But everything out of sweets.

You know, makeup is not my thing,
so maybe you can…

-No!
-…you can help me out, you know.

-Do you have any ideas?
-Okay, there's mascara.

Nail polish would be epic.

So we're gonna do nail polish.

-Lipstick, you have to do.
-Lip-- Of course.

What is most beautiful than shiny lips?

-Edible--
-Right?

Gloss. The gloss.

-You've got this?
-For sure.

-Good luck.
-Yeah.

♪ You got me feeling like I want it ♪

♪ And I want it ♪

♪ So, baby, get a rocket ship
And put me on it ♪

Let's do it.

-How you lookin'?
-Good.

-I'm stressing out a little bit.
-Why are you stressed out?

Because-- Yeah, this is the design.
Let me show you real quick.

So, I wanna make this giant bust, right?

To represent her.

Then what I wanna do--

I wanna add a chocolate crown,
because she's a queen.

She is a warrior princess.

How much chocolate are we talking about?

I'm thinking
about 65 to 70 pounds of chocolate.

-Yeah, it's gonna be quite, quite heavy.
-I'm sorry, what?

Very big.

Let's talk. How much?

I'm just gonna start
putting chocolate up here.

-You tell me more--
-This is all dark.

Gonzo, get in here. Let's go.
You got chocolate to temper.

Do I need to back up a truck
with more chocolate?

I hope she's not gonna do that
with my flour.

-It's started.
-Yeah. Ready?

-One, two, three.
-Careful, those are heavy.

-You're a strong woman.
-Is this enough?

That's definitely gonna be enough.

But this is gonna take a lot of time,
because it's a huge piece of chocolate.

If I hand-carve it,
it's gonna take me a lot longer.

So I'm trying to figure if there's a way
to get a mold or something similar

with her face or something, like a bust,

so I can make it happen a lot quicker.

How long is it gonna take
the chocolate to set?

It's gonna take around six hours.

This is a commitment.

If the chocolate isn't set,

you don't really have time
to form another bust.

Exactly. We're gonna make it happen.

All right. I'll-- Let me go dig.

-I'll be right back.
-Sounds good.

-[pop song plays]
-♪ Sweet on my tongue, I lap it up ♪

Ooh, look at that.

♪ Mmm, you're so tasty ♪

♪ You're so tasty, tasty ♪

♪ So tasty ♪

Oh, that's nice and fluffy.

All right.

Organization is everything.

Daryl is a girly-girl. She loves color.

She's a giant kid, and she seems
to really love food and candy.

So right now I'm thinking fair food.

What is better than a fair?

All the beautiful lights,
the rides, the food.

So I decided I'm gonna make pretzels
dipped in a banana chocolate

with taffy sprinkles,
lollipops, gummy bears--

Three different flavors:
coconut, passion fruit, and orange.

Ooh, that's good.

And I'm making
three different sizes of everything.

I've never done so many flavors.

It's a lot. It is a lot.

♪ Sweet on my tongue, you never stop ♪

♪ Lollipop ♪

Gonzo, I got you a present, bud.

-Oh, wow. Is this--
-And I deliver.

Is that a giant mold of Daryl?

-This is it. What do you think?
-Thank you so much.

Dude, I delivered,
so now it's time for you to deliver.

I really need
to start filling this thing up.

-Maya-Camille.
-Hey there, chef.

First of all, that looks incredible.

Okay, so talk to me about--
What's your big idea?

Her daughter having battling
and succeeded in fighting cancer

is the true epitome of someone
who deserves all the flowers.

So I was thinking of creating
a bouquet of cake pops.

-[Tosi] Not a little bouquet of flowers.
-No.

-It's a big bouquet of flowers.
-It's a big bouquet.

No, no, bigger.

Taller.

[Maya-Camille vocalizes, laughs]

Okay, I think you've got it in you.

-I got it.
-But you gotta move.

I-- Okay. Let me move.

Then we gonna move on to the next one.

I'm going to make
a makeup stand for Daryl.

So I have about
20 different colors to make.

I started baking at 17 years old,

studying in a French pastry school.

I'm still in love with what I do.

Always try for perfection.

That's why I work
in a three-star Michelin restaurant,

that's why I work in a five-star hotel,
is because I wanna become the best.

I'm an illusionist of the desserts.

They may look like something,

and they taste like something else.

I'm all about playing mind games.

I like to confuse people.

A lot of flavor.

I have green apple,
lemon curd, blueberry, violet.

Violet, like the candy.

I'm doing like… [exhales]

So much. So much.

So much flavor.

[Gonzo] I'm starting to fill this up,

and I have to make sure
that I go little by little

in order to not have
any air bubbles in here.

If I have air bubbles inside of my mold,

when I unmold this,

I'm gonna have to patch
a bunch of different parts of this piece.

And we don't want that, 'cause I'm running
against the clock right now.

When it comes to chocolate,
there's nothing I can't do,

but I've never done anything
like this before.

I've done giant chocolate pieces,
but not a bust of this size.

I can barely lift this thing.

You know, chocolate needs to set
for me to take it out of the mold.

If it doesn't set on time,

it could actually break,
or you could have cracks.

But it's all about pushing boundaries.
That's what I'm here for.

[Maya-Camille] I'm making some buttercream
to go inside each cake pop,

because this is going to help
meld the cake batter together.

I am making
four absolutely delicious flavors:

pineapple rum, mango coconut,

plátanos maduros with pretzels,

and then chocolate beer
with coconut de crema candy.

I'm incorporating Nina and Daryl's
Puerto Rican heritage through the flavors.

This is not your typical cake pop.

This is an infused cake pop.

-Oh!
-Whoa!

[Ashley] Oh my goodness!

My superpower is taste.

[air kisses]

I've got enhanced taste buds.

When I was one years old,

my mom discovered
that I was hearing-impaired.

And because I have a loss of hearing,

I have a heightened sense
of taste and smell.

[uplifting music plays]

Some bakers are all about the show.

I'm all about the flavors.

Okay, let me get these lollipops in.

I'm making three different lollipops,

and I'm making violet-flavored,

a rum vanilla bean,
and a watermelon apple.

That's a big sucker.

The hardest thing with lollipops
is not over-cooking your sugar.

You have to cook it to a hard-ball crack,

which is 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

The chance of burning your sugar
is, like, really high,

so if you have a thermometer
with a probe on it, it'll save your life.

-[pop music playing]
-♪ Light 'em up, hey, hey, hey ♪

[Tosi] Six hours to go, Bake Squad.

Christophe, are you cooking something?
I need your help for a second.

Okay.

[Gonzo] It's pretty nerve-wracking,
'cause if this falls off, it tips over,

I'm screwed.

I only have one shot at this.

-You got it?
-Oh, wow. Yeah.

Hold it stable.

-Thank you.
-Thank you, Ashley.

We did it. Thank you, team.

[Gonzo cheers] Yeah!

[Maya-Camille] I am making
a plantain and pretzel cake pop.

Most cake pops are just cake

mixed in with a little bit of buttercream
and formed into a shape,

but I've made them more difficult
by adding the fillings.

Fillings is going to change
the temperament

and how the pop holds
with the Popsicle sticks.

I have to press it in really tightly

to make sure that it doesn't come apart.

What is going on over here?

I look up, and there's a whole--
Like, three rainbows.

Yeah, I'm making actually
20 different color of lipstick.

Twenty, you said?

This is crazy.

The lipstick, what is this made out of?

It's gonna be
four kind of different mousses.

And nail polish, I'm sorry?

Nail polish, we do two kind of curd,

lemon and orange,

and three kind of coulis:
blueberry, the green apple, and guava.

Then this eye shadow marshmallow?

Yeah. I didn't even start yet.

-Two hundred and sixty?
-Yeah.

Have you lost your mind?

-Every day.
-[both chuckle]

[Gonzo] On top of my chocolate bust,

I wanna make a crown filled with bonbons.

I wanna have
many, many components for them to eat

while they're having their tea party.

Daryl's a very girly-girl.

She's into fashion and makeup.

So I wanna make sure
that it's all covered in pink,

and it really represents
Daryl's personality.

I'm gonna fill each one of the bonbons
by piping ganache.

Once I have that done,

I do the last layer
with more chocolate in order to seal it.

I hope my lollipop worked.

[up-tempo, energetic music playing]

-It's bigger than your head.
-It is, right?

Three hours to go, Bake Squad.

♪ And so we shake up the day ♪

♪ And we kick into play ♪

♪ Until the night turns into day ♪

♪ Push up the beat, keep it moving ♪

[Christophe] Right now I'm making
three kinds of marshmallow in one shot.

Time is ticking right now, so we gotta go.

[Maya-Camille] Oh my gosh.
It came off the stick.

I am trying to put the stick in here

without breaking the cake pop.

But this one with the plátanos maduros
and the pretzel,

it's more susceptible to coming apart.

I already lost one,

and I can't really afford to lose another.

[groaning]

I'm gonna pop these back into the freezer

and make them more firm
before I dip any more.

[jaunty pop music playing]

[pop singer grunts]

[Ashley] Now if that doesn't look
like a pretzel pro…

I'm making a soft pretzel
dipped in a banana white chocolate,

coated with banana taffy sprinkles.

I'm just gonna add
a little bit of banana emulsion

to give that nostalgic banana flavor.

I really did my best here

to put a fun, modern twist
on a nostalgic favorite that they shared.

♪ No, you're never gonna be alone ♪

♪ All you gotta do is hear the song ♪

♪ To know that we're together, together ♪

You're too far away. I miss you, man.

[Gonzo] I'll come visit you in a second,
my French little snuggle muffin.

[Christophe] You see the consistency
of the… of the nail polish? It's perfect.

I pulled the bust out of the fridge

knowing that I didn't properly give it
enough time for my chocolate to set.

We're running against the clock.

Whoa!

[Christophe] You okay, man?

-I'm good.
-It's set.

-Let's see if she's good.
-Wow.

The worst thing
that could happen to this bust is--

When I'm unmolding it,

is to have cracks inside or air bubbles.

Utilizing power tools
in order to get this out.

Power tools for power man. Love it.

If I have an air bubble,
for example, right in her eye,

she's gonna be missing a part of her eye.

I have one shot at this.

[tense music swells]

[music stops]

-[Maya-Camille] Oh, wow.
-[Christophe] Dang!

[Ashley] Oh my god. Look at that.

She's gorgeous, Gonzo.

-Any air bubbles?
-[Gonzo] No air bubbles.

[Christophe] It looks just like Daryl.

-[Gonzo] Right?
-It's awesome.

I need to work on the head

'cause the crown
actually doesn't fit perfectly,

so I'm gonna have to carve part of
the head out in order to put in the crown.

[Tosi] Two hours to go, Bake Squad.

-Hey.
-What's this?

-Edible nail polish?
-What's up, Maya? Yeah.

-Wanna try?
-Please.

Christophe's dessert is super delicious.

-I've got something for you too.
-Oh yeah?

I'll be right back.

Hearing Nina talk about growing up

eating pickles
with a peppermint stick in the middle,

I have a little treat
for the Frenchman to taste. [laughs]

What? The pickle.

And peppermint stick.

Okay, uh…

Take the peppermint stick,
put it in the middle.

The vinegar from the pickle
and the minty flavor…

I don't think I'm going to like that.

[chuckles]

Bon appétit?

Bon appétit.

[crunching]

It's oddly satisfying.

I mean, it was just disgusting,
in my opinion.

-[Christophe laughs]
-Let's go give it to Ashley and Gonzo.

Okay, pickle, peppermint stick.

Hold on one second.
I'm in gummy land right now.

Put the peppermint stick
inside of the pickle.

[Christophe] It is good.

-This is the weirdest thing I've done.
-[Christophe] Just do it.

[crunching]

[laughing]

That is disgusting.

[gagging]

Ugh! Are you kidding me?

[Ashley] Maya, thank you so much
for letting me try it,

but you can keep your pickle
and your peppermint.

Look at him. He's huge.

How you doing, Ashley?

-What you making over there?
-Taffy.

The longer you pull it and stretch it,

it'll get thicker
and be a little more structured.

I'm just pulling a bunch of air
into it right now to make it chewier

and give it
that really delicious taffy texture.

My arms.

All right, Bake Squad, 60 minutes to go.

-What?
-[Tosi] Make some magic, team.

♪ Don't know what you're thinking ♪

♪ Don't know what's on your mind ♪

[Tosi] Ashley! Look what I got!

-Are you kidding me?
-This is your display?

Ooh!

Can I play?

That can be cool.

It's interactive.
You can play around with it.

Daryl is gonna love it.

[Tosi] Okay, you got 50 minutes,

so I don't know what you're doing,
but you better pull and go.

-Let's go. I have more work to do.
-You are a rock star.

Coming up with this whole concept
of the claw machine,

I wanted to go big
and do something really cool.

You can walk over, you can play.
There's treats inside.

The guests can interact
in a way that might be surprising.

Oh my goodness.

Maya-Camille,
what do you think about this?

Oh! I love it.

-Yeah!
-I mean, give 'em flowers, Maya-Camille.

-Yes!
-What do you think?

I cannot wait to see you
bring this to life, I have to say.

I'm happy.

Bake Squad, you have 30 minutes to go.

Oh my gosh.

It's time to put
those finishing touches on.

-[Tosi] Make some magic, team.
-I need to move my bottom.

I need to move.

-I believe in you. Ready?
-Yeah.

Bake Squad. Go for it.

Yes, Gonzo.

-Yes.
-Yeah.

In just ten minutes,
Nina will be coming down these stairs

ready to be wowed.

[Maya-Camille repeating] I can do this.

♪ You got me all fired up ♪

-Let's go.
-Yeah.

♪ Yeah, you know I wanna move ya ♪

-[groans]
-Oh!

I'm gonna fill everybody up with sugar.

♪ I feel so good ♪

Push, push, push. You got this.

Here comes Nina!

It's time to move!

♪ You got me all fired up ♪

Time's up, Bake Squad!

-Hi.
-Welcome back.

-Hi, Nina.
-Hi.

You sure do look excited.

I am excited.

You have really outdone yourselves today.

-You ready to dig in?
-Yes.

-Rock the taste buds.
-All right.

-Come with me.
-Okay.

Gonzo.

-Well, hello.
-Gonzo!

-Oh my god, Gonzo!
-Welcome.

-[Tosi] Recognize anyone?
-My Daryl!

-Does it look like her?
-Yes, it does!

She even has dimples.

Daryl has two dimples
on the side of her face.

Right?

Describe the masterpiece, Gonzo.

[Gonzo] So, what I have here
is the Chocolate Warrior.

-And she's a fighter, right?
-[Nina] Yes.

[Gonzo] I just wanted something
that looked like a classical piece of art,

but there's also some party on top.

So we have some sugar work and candies.

We have different bonbons.

-Go for it.
-Okay.

Oh my god.

-You ready?
-I'm ready.

-Let's do it.
-Okay.

Coco!

-Mmm!
-Oh!

Is yours as luscious and luxurious
of a center as mine?

Oh my goodness.

[Tosi] The bonbon has
that perfect thin shell,

and the ganache
in the center of the bonbon

has its own personality.

As soon as it hit my tongue,
it started disappearing.

Perfect.

-Mission accomplished.
-This is so good!

Mango.

[Nina] Oh my god.

Is that creamy or what?

[Nina laughs]

It's crazy!

I am, like, almost--

Almost as much as enjoying it for myself

is watching you experience and enjoy.

-This is so good.
-Gonzo, you knocked it out of the park.

Thank you.

This…

I love.

-Thank you.
-You're more than welcome.

-Maya-Camille.
-Oh my god.

This is happening.

This is so beautiful. It's like a forest.

Like all of a sudden,
a fairy is gonna fly out of here.

[Nina laughing joyfully]

All right, Maya-Camille, talk to us.
What is this piece?

[Maya-Camille] These are cake pops.

So we have mango coconut macaroon,
pineapple rum,

dark chocolate ale with coco de crema,

then plátanos maduros and pretzels.

-No!
-Yes.

I gotta go with the plátanos maduros,

and then I'm gonna go with the beer.

-[Tosi] I'm dying for your coconut mango.
-[Nina] I'll hold my own.

[Tosi] Which are we missing?

-A pineapple rum.
-Oh yeah.

-You're gonna be jealous of my selection.
-My goodness.

-[Nina laughs] All right.
-Here we go. I'm going in.

Girlfriend, this is good.

[gasps]

Ooh!

Oh, that's the pretzel plátanos maduros.
Oh my god.

-Oh my goodness.
-Well, now--

I'm so glad that you like it.

Wow, the plátanos pop
has a little soft to it.

[Nina] Ooh!

It's hitting all of those,
you know, endorphin places.

-[Tosi] Maya.
-Yes, ma'am?

The texture the white chocolate shell
brings is great.

Just, like,
a wave of deliciousness hit me.

Now, these four flavors are pretty great,
but I know that there was--

Oh, I got one more flavor.

What?

So, the one thing--

[Nina exclaims, laughs]

-Get in there and get your prize.
-[Maya-Camilla] Here you go.

[crunch]

-Whoo!
-Okay, we're going this way.

[Nina laughing]

[Tosi] All right, Christophe.

-[gasps]
-[Tosi] Nina.

Oh my god! This is so dope!

Two hundred and sixty items,

and the best thing, it's all edible.

-All of it.
-What?

Christophe, tell us what it is.

All right, so we will start
with the lipstick.

It's made of different mousses.

We have green apple, blueberry violet,

orange, and raspberry.

-Girls' night out. We go lipstick first.
-Yes, lipstick first.

-Okay, here we go.
-Yes, yes.

Oh my goodness. [laughs]

It tastes like I bit into an apple.

-Just sharp, ripe, fresh.
-Like it's-- Yes.

And it just, like,
tickled my tongue when it went--

[Nina laughs]

The texture is light.

-Perfect vehicle for the flavor itself.
-Yes, it's beautiful.

This is good.

[Christophe] And then we have
eye shadow marshmallow.

[Nina] Look at this.

Mmm! This is delicious.

-[Christophe] Then we have nail polish.
-Oh my goodness.

So the idea is that you take
a little bit of this little guy.

-Look at that.
-Then you pick your strawberry.

-Then you can paint…
-Oh my goodness.

…your strawberry with it,
and just eat it, and, you know.

Gotta be fun, right?

-All the nail polish are coulis and curd.
-[Nina] Wow.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Ooh!

That guava.

[Nina] Oh!

-Like, full flavor.
-Yeah.

I know Daryl's colleagues at work.
This will blow them away.

This will blow them away.

I mean, they're all girly,
you know, makeup mavens.

No one's thought about
a party like this before.

-Okay. My goodness.
-I just wanna say.

He put some work into it. Thank you.

[Tosi] Ashley.

Hi.

This is Daryl's candy claw machine.

This is so cute!

There is a lot to take in here for sure.

I wanted to celebrate her love
of the classic nostalgic treats,

and I wanted to bring you
into this as well,

bringing in the memories
that you and Daryl shared together

through sweets and through candies.

So in here we have
three different types of lollipops:

violet-flavored, rum vanilla bean,
and watermelon apple.

I also made three different flavors
of gummy bears.

We have coconut,
passion fruit, and orange.

And pretzels dipped in
a banana chocolate with taffy sprinkles.

-[Tosi] We all gotta have a treat.
-Yes, yes.

Okay, Nina,
I nominate you for the big one.

Ooh, look at the belly, belly, belly!

[Tosi] Oh my god.
Is that the biggest gummy--

Hold on.

Belly, belly, belly! [Nina laughs]

Oh my god, he's huge!

Wow, it's so orange-y.

I'm gonna hold your gummy bear.

-You gotta have one of the pretzels.
-[Nina] Yes, of course.

-Go-go Gadget arms.
-All right.

[Nina] Look at this!

This is amazing.

-[Tosi] What do you think?
-Wow, this is delicious.

Excites your mouth.

Usually when you get banana,

it's, like, overpowering,

but this is not.

[Tosi] We gotta get you
one of these lollipops too.

[Nina] Yes, honey.
I gotta go with the watermelon apple.

[Tosi] Ashley, how are you feeling?

I am happy that Nina's so happy,

and that you're so excited.

[Nina] This is so cool.

You're a real technician,

and you showed up today big-time.

[Nina laughing]

-Congratulations, truly.
-Thank you.

-And thank you.
-Oh, you did the most!

-Thank you.
-I know. I'm like, pulling Nina.

-Come on, Nina.
-You're such a queen, Nina.

Bake Squad, incredible job today.

Good job, guys.

You all showed up to help Nina and Daryl

celebrate kicking cancer's butt.

-Yeah.
-Yay!

You guys brought the noise.

-Thanks for trusting us.
-Yes.

Nina, you can only choose one.

Tell us why you picked
this amazing dessert.

It was artful.

It reminded me of comfort.

That was beautiful.

And not only were these little
intricate details artfully displayed,

it tasted the way it looked.

Almost set me crying.

I tasted love.

-I don't know how she's gonna choose one.
-[Nina chuckles]

Okay, Nina, which squad member's
show-stopping dessert

is bringing Daryl and her story
into the future?

It was Christophe.

Yeah!

[Bake Squad cheering excitedly]

[Gonzo] Good job, bud.

[Tosi] Tell him why you loved
his dessert so much.

[Nina] I picked it looking at the future.

Daryl wants to start her own cosmetic.

-That's awesome.
-And it was delicious.

Yes, and it was good.

That blessed me.

-So proud of you.
-For my mom.

Christophe, get over here.
I need a picture.

-Get over there.
-Go get it, bud.

-Go get it.
-Yay!

Get over there.

That is awesome.

I know this really,
really meant a lot to him.

Okay, say cheese. One, two, three.

[shutter snaps]

Nina, we'll meet you at the party.

Christophe, to the board, my friend.

[Nina] Thank you so much!

All right.

[Gonzo] Gimme a little dancing.

[Ashley] All right!

[Tosi] Dude, you deserve it.

Incredible work.

[all] Surprise!

Today, we're here to celebrate
Daryl kicking cancer's butt.

Oh my god.

[Daryl] Oh!

That's beautiful.

[Nina] Everything here is edible.

[Daryl] Oh my god.

Everything was makeup.

I used to eat your lipstick, remember?

-[joyful laughter]
-Two things I love, sweets and makeup.

I'm just, like, flabbergasted.

Om-nom-nom!

I would've never expected any of this.

-That is insane.
-[Nina] Isn't that good?

Thank you, Bake Squad.
It means the world to me.

You really, truly touched my heart.

[applause]
