Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman are going back to the 1970s as they challenge the 12 young bakers to make cakes in their chosen flavor and decorate them to create a shag texture.
The eight young bakers work in teams to each make half a cake that combines with their teammate's half-cake to make a whole cake representing an opposites theme like fire and ice, night and day, land and sea or big and small.
The remaining three young bakers create cakes using bake sale items like toffee, rice cereal treats or chocolate-covered pretzels. Their cakes have to illustrate a common bake sale theme like Drama Club, Dance Club or Chess Club.
