In season 1 episode 10 of Bake It Like Buddy, titled Italian Throw Down, the contestants are challenged to impress Buddy Valastro and his expert judges with their interpretation of classic Italian desserts.
The episode starts with Buddy's enthusiastic welcome to the contestants, as he explains the challenge for the week. Nine home bakers are tasked with recreating three iconic Italian desserts: cannoli, tiramisu, and sfogliatelle. The bakers have two hours to complete their creations before presenting them to the judges.
As the contestants race against the clock, the camera captures their focus and determination in the kitchen.
