It's a showdown of Christmas cupcakes as four top bakers battle it out making edible snow globes. Judges Nacho Aguirre, Amirah Kassem and Maureen McCormick determine which cupcake designer goes home after the first round. The final three head to the attic for their favorite Christmas decorations and use them as inspiration to create a life-sized Christmas display out of cupcakes. In the end, one competitor gets to go home with an early Christmas present of $10,000.

The cupcake competition kicks off as host Kardea Brown challenges four fantastic bakers to create detailed pet designs on their cupcakes. Every strand of fur, wrinkle and whisker must be perfect to win. Judges Lerome Campbell, Maureen McCormick and Gesine Prado decide which three move on to the final round, where the challenge is to create savory food imposters out of cupcakes. Whether they're replicating Asian, American or Italian cuisine, the bakers' cupcakes have to fool the judges' eyes into thinking they're eating the real thing! The baker with the best cupcake lookalike wins $10,000.
