Best Baker in America Season 1 Episode 10 East Coast Classics

In this episode of Best Baker in America, titled "East Coast Classics," the remaining four contestants are tasked with creating three iconic East Coast desserts. They must first tackle the challenging Black and White Cookie, a beloved treat commonly found in New York City. Judges Jason Smith and Marcela Valladolid provide guidance, encouraging contestants to perfect their cookie texture and icing consistency.

Next up is the Boston Cream Pie, a staple dessert of Massachusetts. The bakers must focus on creating a delicate sponge cake, a rich pastry cream, and a smooth chocolate ganache. Chef Zac Young lends his expertise to help the contestants find the perfect balance of flavors.

Finally, the bakers must tackle the classic Pennsylvania Dutch Shoofly Pie. This molasses-based pie requires a tender crust and a unique crumb topping, challenging the contestants to think outside the box. Chef Scott Conant joins the judges' table to taste the final products and offer feedback.

As the competition narrows down to the final four, the pressure is on for the bakers to impress the judges with their East Coast Classics. Only one will be named Best Baker in America.
