In Cupcake Wars season 9 episode 2, titled "Marilyn Monroe's 60th," the contestants are tasked with creating cupcakes inspired by the iconic Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe, who would have turned 60 years old. The six bakers are divided into two teams and must work together to come up with a winning batch of cupcakes that captures the essence of the blonde bombshell.
The first challenge is a taste test, where the contestants must identify the ingredients in a standard vanilla cupcake. The winning team gets an advantage in the main competition, which involves creating three different types of cupcakes. One cupcake must be inspired by Marilyn's famous "Seven Year Itch" dress, which famously blew up in the wind as she stood on a subway grate. Another cupcake must pay tribute to Marilyn's love for diamonds, while the third must capture the essence of her classic Hollywood glamour.
The teams get to work creating their cupcakes, with each member taking on a specific task. Some bakers focus on the visuals, using fondant and food coloring to create intricate designs that pop. Others work on the flavors, experimenting with different combinations of spices, fruits, and sweets to create a cupcake that tastes as good as it looks.
As the clock ticks down, tensions run high in the kitchen, with each team desperate to outdo the other and secure a spot in the final round. The judges taste each cupcake carefully, examining the presentation, flavor, and texture.
In the end, only one team can be declared the winner of Marilyn Monroe's 60th Cupcake Wars challenge. The winning cupcakes will be sold in a Hollywood bakery, giving fans the chance to indulge in a sweet treat inspired by one of the most iconic figures in Tinseltown history.
Overall, the episode is a fun and lively tribute to Marilyn Monroe, with colorful visuals, tasty treats, and plenty of behind-the-scenes drama. Whether you're a diehard fan of the actress or just love a good cupcake, Cupcake Wars season 9 episode 2 is sure to entertain and delight.
