He envisions a multi-tiered cake featuring billboards and bright lights in true Times Square style.

Duff, on the other hand, decides to pay homage to one of New York's most iconic structures- the Brooklyn Bridge. He plans to make a cake that replicates the bridge, complete with fondant cables and an intricate support structure.

The bakers then get started on their cakes, with each artist utilizing their unique baking techniques and style to make their creative vision come to life.

As the clock ticks, the bakers run into several challenges. Duff struggles to get his cake structure right, as the fondant cables keep breaking. Buddy, on the other hand, has a hard time getting his fondant letters to stick to the cake.

To make matters worse, the judges, who are celebrity chefs Jacques Torres and Martha Stewart, are critiquing every aspect of the cakes from taste to presentation.

Despite the challenges, Buddy and Duff soldier on, driven by their passion for baking and the desire to win. In the end, it's up to the judges to decide whose cake best represents the spirit of New York City.
