The contestants have only a few hours to create their cakes, which must incorporate different techniques such as sculpting, painting, and piping.

The first challenge is the "Magical Sculpt-off." In this challenge, the bakers are tasked with creating a 3D sculpture of their magical character using fondant and gum paste.

The judges are impressed with the level of detail shown by the bakers, with some using edible paints and airbrushing techniques to create realistic-looking magical characters on their cakes.

The final challenge is the "Magical Piping Challenge." In this challenge, the contestants have to create a cake that features a magical character made entirely out of piped frosting. The bakers have to be careful with their piping technique as they are trying to create intricate shapes and designs. The judges are once again impressed with the level of creativity shown by the bakers, with some contestants creating impressive designs such as castles, rainbows, and unicorns.

After all three challenges have been completed, the judges taste each cake and provide feedback on the taste, texture, and overall presentation. The bakers are nervous, but they are also excited to hear what the judges have to say about their cakes.

The episode then culminates in the judges announcing the winner of the Magical Character Cakes challenge.
