In this episode of Spring Baking Championship season 2, titled "Moms Love Chocolate," the remaining bakers are tasked with creating desserts that incorporate chocolate and are perfect for Mother's Day. The episode kicks off with host Bobby Deen announcing the pre-heat challenge, which requires the bakers to create individual chocolate cakes with a surprise ingredient.
The bakers quickly get to work, carefully selecting their surprise ingredients and mixing up their cake batter. Some choose to incorporate flavors like raspberry or orange, while others opt for unique ingredients like coffee or beer. As the bakers work, they share stories of their own mothers and the role that baking has played in their family traditions.
Once the cakes are baked and cooled, the bakers decorate them with a variety of chocolate toppings, from ganache to chocolate shavings to edible flowers. The judges, including pastry chef Lorraine Pascale and baker Duff Goldman, taste each cake and provide feedback on the flavor and presentation.
After the pre-heat challenge, the bakers move on to the main heat, which requires them to create a grand dessert buffet that showcases their chocolate skills. Each baker is given a table and has to create at least three desserts that are visually stunning and delicious.
As the bakers work on their desserts, they are faced with a few unexpected challenges, including a power outage that causes some of the bakers to lose valuable time. However, they all manage to persevere and complete their desserts in time for the judging.
The judges are impressed with the creativity and range of flavors on display, and they have a tough time deciding on a winner. At the end of the episode, one baker is crowned the challenge winner and another is sent home.
Overall, "Moms Love Chocolate" is a heartwarming and delicious episode that showcases the power of baking to bring families together. Whether it's a surprise ingredient in a chocolate cake or a grand dessert buffet, the bakers demonstrate their skill and creativity while paying tribute to the mothers in their lives.
