In this episode of Holiday Baking Championship: Gingerbread Showdown season 2, titled "Elves 'Elfing' Off," the remaining contestants are tasked with creating gingerbread masterpieces featuring mischievous elves causing chaos in the kitchen.

As the bakers begin to work, host Jesse Palmer reminds them that creativity is key in this competition and that they should let their imaginations run wild with their designs.

The contestants begin by sketching out their ideas and gathering their ingredients to start baking. Some choose to build multi-level gingerbread structures, while others focus on intricate details like faces and clothing for their elves.

As they work on their designs, the judges Jacques Torres and Nancy Fuller circle the kitchen, asking questions and offering advice. They remind the bakers to pay attention to the flavor of their gingerbread, as well as the overall artistic presentation.
