Ep 2. Halloween Genius

In season 3 episode 2 of Sweet Genius, titled "Halloween Genius," the contestants must showcase their creativity and talent in a spooky Halloween-themed baking challenge. The four contestants are tasked with creating desserts that not only taste delicious but also capture the essence of Halloween.

The first challenge involves creating a dessert inspired by a classic Halloween character, such as a ghost, witch, or vampire. The contestants must incorporate unique flavors and textures to make their creations stand out. They have 30 minutes to complete the challenge, and the judges are looking for impressive presentation and delicious tastes.

The second challenge requires the contestants to create a creepy, crawly dessert. The judges want to see spiders, snakes, and other spooky creatures in the desserts, but the contestants must still make them taste great. The contestants have 45 minutes to complete this challenge.

Finally, the third and most challenging task requires the contestants to create a dessert that embodies the spirit of Halloween. The judges are looking for a dessert that is both visually stunning and delicious. With only 60 minutes to complete this challenge, the contestants must work quickly to come up with a winning dessert.

Throughout the episode, the contestants are tested on their ability to create unique and delicious desserts that reflect the Halloween theme. The judges, including renowned pastry chef Ron Ben-Israel, evaluate each dessert based on taste, presentation, and creativity.

In the end, only one contestant will be named the Sweet Genius and take home the $10,000 prize. The other contestants will be sent home, their Halloween-themed desserts left uneaten. But no matter the outcome, the episode is filled with spooky fun and delicious treats perfect for any Halloween party.
