Joel mchale: The last time we saw
Our classically trained bakers...
Vikki: I don't know where anything is.
Joel mchale: ..Their fancy book learning met its match.
Vikki: How are those coming?
Bob: Not my best work.
Joel mchale: They pumped out
Several baker's dozens of donuts.
Yolanda gampp: Wow.
Curtis stone: If you did watch last season,
We don't often improvise.
Joel mchale: But only one team had the good sense
To rifle through the garbage...
Amber: Where was the trashcan?
Joel mchale: ..To earn safety from elimination.
Yolanda gampp: Camille and laissa.
Joel mchale: Amber and yass's giant macaron
Was a giant mistake.
Joel mchale: But it was another team's
Disastrous dacquoise that sealed their fate.
Curtis stone: Jenae and christina.
Christina: Wait, I'm turning around
'cause I don't want to cry.
Jenae: Oh.
Joel mchale: Tonight, five teams return
To solve more culinary crimes.
Vikki: Pears, oranges.
Sherry: Plums, plums, plums.
Joel mchale: Americans mangle french.
Amber: How do you say it?
Joel mchale: Clafoutis?
Vikki: Cafouti?
Bob: Clafoutis, tutti frutti?
Joel mchale: Everyone mangles their berries.
Camille: I hope this is the right dessert.
Bob: If we don't get it right, we could be going home.
Joel mchale: Reveal the crime scene kitchen desserts.
Prepare for utter baking chaos.
Camille: What?
(dramatic music)
Announcer: Send the bakers.
Yass: Last time, we were afraid
That we were going to get eliminated.
Amber: Yeah, we have tough competition... Yass: We do.
..In this classically trained group.
Yass: There is only five teams left,
So every bake counts 'cause we want to win.
Amber: We want to win.
Sherry: We feel so freaking excited
To come back in the crime scene kitchen
With the best of the classical bakers
Because we want to stay in this competition as long as we can.
That's all I got to say.
Sally: These cat ears aren't leaving.
Sherry: Nope, we're here to stay.
Purr. (chuckles)
Sally: Let me stop her.
Joel mchale: Welcome to crime scene kitchen.
Tonight, we have two new crimes to solve,
The baking kind, not the murdery kind.
(contestants laugh)
Behind me is the crime scene kitchen.
Gorgeous.
A short time ago, a delightful dessert was made in there,
And an even more delightful mess was left behind.
Your challenge is to recreate the dessert as best you can
Using only the clues that remain from the bake.
Before we begin, say hello to the brainiacs
Who set these culinary challenges,
The goddess of cakes, yolanda gampp.
(contestants applaud)
And the crowned prince of pies, curtis stone.
(contestants applaud)
You are classically trained bakers.
Guys, I hope you brought your triple a game
Because you'll soon be competing
Against our self-taught bakers.
We'll lose a team every week until one team
Will be left standing at the end of the season
With a $100,000 check.
There are two bakes tonight,
And we start with the safety bake.
Whoever does best in that gets to skip the second one,
The elimination bake, and advances directly
To the next stage of the competition.
Each team will have two minutes
To search the crime scene kitchen
And the clues will be the same for every team.
Ok, bob and vikki, start your search.
Bob: All right, what have we got here?
Dj: All right, start at the left.
Ricky: All purpose flour, confectioner's sugar.
All right, this looks, ahh batter.
It smells like pancake batter.
So I walk in and I see a bowl
And there's a batter inside, kind of thick.
So I smell it and it's screaming that it's a pancake batter.
Look at this.
We have a tart.
Dj: What are you going to do
With a tart pan and pancake batter?
Sally: Three eggs, ok, let me see.
Tart pan. Sherry: Confection, powdered sugar.
Sally: What is this, what is this?
Some type of dough.
Ok, like all the berries in the bowl.
Sherry: Did they use cherries?
Almond flour?
Sally: We saw the almond flour
And we saw the mixed berries and fruits.
So right now, this could be a bakewell tart.
Sherry: A bakewell tart is a dessert with a sweet crust,
A layer of jam, and then almond cream filling.
Ok, there's nothing in the trash can.
Camille: Oh, tart.
The ceramic pie dish, to me, is the main clue.
Laissa: You can't take out the desserts from it.
So usually, we serve what you have
In the pie dish inside it.
So we're thinking no crust.
Camille: Oh. (speaks in foreign language)
Laissa: Smell it.
No, smell it, smell it.
Camille: I just put my face in there and I smell it
And it's the crepe batter.
(speaks in foreign language)
Laissa: You think?
Camille: Clafoutis, it's like a flan
Made out of a crepe batter that is lightly floured.
Laissa: Listen, we need to know what's the fruit.
In France, cherry clafoutis is tradition.
It's classic.
I have pear.
I see bowl of berry, strawberry,
And inside the fridge, blueberries and raspberries.
There are too many fruits in here.
Bob: All right, let's check the refrigerator.
Strawberries, look like they were used.
Vikki: Something, something.
Bob: Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries.
There was fruits all over the place.
Vikki: I know.
Bob: Apple.
Vikki: Granulated sugar, some vanilla spilled.
Bob: That's closed.
I see like apples and stuff.
Apples could be used in a tart.
Vikki: Mixed berries.
Bob: Mixed berries.
Vikki: Ooh, cherries.
Bob: Cherries.
Vikki: Very confusing.
Bob: There's berries on the apron.
This looks like cherry stain.
Sally: There's a raspberry on the apron right here.
Sherry: It could it be like a bakewell.
Amber: What is that, raspberry?
Raspberry.
So raspberry we'll use.
Dj: We're making something with raspberries.
Sherry: Is this what you saw?
This looks like cherry.
Joel mchale: Here we go.
10.
Bob: All right, 10 seconds.
Sally: Ok, 10 seconds left.
Amber: Flour, the eggs.
Yass: The cherries.
Ricky: Do you think the cherry were used?
Yass: Which dessert are you thinking?
Amber: Clafoutis.
Yass: Clafoutis.
Laissa: I have the feeling we're missing something here.
Joel mchale: And that is time!
Sherry: Ok, done.
Ricky: Did you check the fridge?
Dj: Yes.
Bob: Whoo.
Vikki: Let's go.
Yass: I don't know what it is.
(amber and yass laugh)
Joel mchale: Bakers, you'll now have
Two totally stress-free hours
To recreate the mystery dessert.
Whoever gets closest will win safety
And automatically advance
To the next stage of the competition.
Ready.
Guess.
Bake!
Sherry: We're doing one big tart, right,
Because you saw that in the dishwasher?
So when I pull out the white ceramic dish,
I assume that has to be a tart or a pie.
And then also, sally saw on the apron
Of remnants of raspberry seeds,
But I was assuming cherries
Because there was a bowl of cherries.
Sally: There was seeds.
It was literally a raspberry like smear, like that.
Sherry: Like this?
Sally: Don't.
Sherry: Did it look like that?
Sally: Yes, but up here.
Sherry: Ok, so we know raspberries were used.
Sally: Yes.
Sherry: So based on sally seeing
The raspberry seeds on the apron and the almond flour,
We are making a bakewell tart.
It has a raspberry jam layer
And also a almond cream filling.
We feel really confident.
If it is a bakewell, then we got it.
Sally: Oh, yeah.
Ooh!
(beep)
Sherry: You ok?
Sally: Yeah.
Vikki: This is a tough one.
Bob: Yes, it is.
It could be anything.
Vikki: The last time in the kitchen...
Bob: We totally were at each other's throats.
We were not working as a team.
Vikki: Too hot-headed.
Bob: Too hot-headed, that's how we were.
So we decide we're going to work together as a team
And you're going to listen to my lead.
We're just hoping we're going to nail this one.
Vikki: Side eye.
Bob: (chuckles) side eye.
We saw a tart shell in the...
Vikki and bob: Dishwasher.
Bob: So I'm thinking a tart, maybe a galette.
Vikki: A galette?
Bob: Yeah.
Traditionally, a galette is made with a flaky pie dough
And you put your fruit in there
And then you fold the flaps over.
I haven't made a galette in ages.
Vikki: Probably in school.
Bob: Come on, help.
Work with me here.
Work with me.
You're just taking stuff out.
Vikki: I'm trying to look through things
In the fridge and stuff to see...
Bob: It's not going to help.
This is our kitchen.
It's not going to tell us anything different.
Vikki: I know, you were looking for me
To give you some answers.
Bob: Yes, I'm asking...
Vikki: I'm looking for him...
Bob: And we're just getting frustrated
And we're starting to butt heads again.
We're going to make an apple...
Vikki: Apple?
Bob: Yeah.
That's what, we saw apples.
What do you want?
What is it?
Tell me.
You're looking at me like a deer in the headlights.
Tell me what you want to make. (vikki chuckles)
Tell me, really.
Just - just spit it out.
Vikki: We're back there again.
Bob: Tell me what you want to make.
Vikki: We're going back there again.
Bob: We're going right back to where we were.
Dj: The batter, we agreed it was a pancake batter, right?
Ricky: It was a pancake.
It smelled like pancake.
It was, it did not smell like crepes.
The only thing that's confusing me...
Ricky and dj: Is the tart pan...
Ricky: In the dishwasher.
Dj: What are we going to do with that?
Being a trained pastry chef,
I don't even know what to think right now
With all of the clues that we've seen.
Ricky: Mm-hmm.
It's the tart pan.
Dj: So the two things we have in our mind
Are tart pan and batter.
Ricky: So it could be a pancake,
But it doesn't make sense to put that with the tart pan.
Dj: Could we bake a pancake
In that tart pan with raspberries?
Ricky: And it's just like we butter the pan
And put the pancake
'cause there's no sign of almond flour.
Dj: A pancake baked custard?
Ricky: Hey, joel.
Joel mchale: If you're just joining us...
Ricky: Hi.
Joel mchale: We're on crime scene kitchen.
I'm here with dj and ricky.
Guys, what's going on, and why are we whispering?
Dj: Were we?
Where are we putting the raspberry?
Joel mchale: Where are we putting the raspberries?
Ricky: We're trying to figure out...
Joel mchale: Damn it.
Ricky: What the dessert is.
Have you ever heard of a pancake tart with raspberry jam?
What about pancake custard with raspberry?
Joel mchale: Is this a menu you're offering me?
Ricky: We're combining the raspberry that we saw
With the pancake batter and the tart pan
And we're making a raspberry pancake tart.
Joel mchale: Pancake tart with raspberry jam,
Which is a thing.
(ricky chuckles)
Dj: This doesn't exist.
Joel mchale: That's not a recipe.
Dj: Joel's not wrong.
Ricky: No.
Dj: We're taking a really big risk.
Ricky: Huge.
Yass: I saw a porcelain fluted tart pan
In the dishwasher.
Amber: Ok.
Yass: And that right there,
What's the name of the dessert?
Yass: Clafoutis.
Yeah, just because of the porcelain?
Amber: The porcelain, right.
Yass: Right.
Amber: Because it didn't have a false bottom
To be able to pull a tart actually out of.
So we saw a bowl with batter.
We saw flour and that porcelain dish.
So we're going to go ahead and make a clafoutis.
Clafoutis is derived from France.
It's a crustless tart, basically.
And it's normally baked in some type of dish.
For the most part,
Cherries is the traditional way to use it.
Joel mchale: Yass and amber!
Yass: Hey, hey, hey.
Amber: Hello!
Joel mchale: Here I am.
Guys.
Amber: Welcome to our kitchen!
Yass: Here you are.
Joel mchale: What the hell are you making?
Amber: We are making a clafoutis.
Joel mchale: A cafoutis?
Amber: A cafoutis? (chuckles)
Joel mchale: A clafoutis sounds like, I don't know.
Hey, you got a clafoutis on your,
Like right here, there's a clafoutis.
Amber: It's right there.
Joel mchale: I got it.
Yeah, it was just a little clafoutis.
All right, so what's in it?
Amber: You take your milk, you mix it with some sugar,
Some vanilla till it's homogenous,
And then you pour it over some fruit in a caramelized pan.
Joel mchale: It really is simple.
Amber: It really is.
Joel mchale: I'm sorry that I've delayed your cook
About 15 minutes.
Amber: You did delay it, but that's ok.
Yass: It's fine.
Are you ready?
Camille: So let's focus on what we have.
The batter, it's a crepe batter.
Because of the clues in the crime scene kitchen
And the batter that I saw in the bowl,
I'm really confident that it is a clafoutis.
Laissa: Do they know what's clafoutis?
I mean, it's so unexpected.
We saw a mix of the berries opened.
So are we going what we were seeing in the kitchen,
Or is it going to be a classic french clafoutis
With cherries on it?
Camille: What are we going to serve them?
Laissa: I think we should serve
The mixed berry clafoutis.
We decide to go what we saw in the crime scene kitchen.
Camille: We're making a mixed berry clafoutis
With strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry.
Laissa: I'm not confident about this safety bake.
I hope it's the right dessert.
Curtis stone: You can be an incredible baker,
But if you miss one clue,
You might go in a slightly different direction
And that could be the direction that sends you home.
Yolanda gampp: You really have to follow the clues.
That's what I love about this show.
It's so unpredictable.
Vikki: I don't know.
I'm not feeling good about your dessert choice, bob.
Bob: I know.
Curtis stone: Yeah, we should go. Yolanda gampp: We should leave.
Bob: I'm so confused about this bake.
What do you think?
Vikki: Something with the cherries, bob.
Bob: So I'm thinking it's an apple galette.
Vikki: We saw all that fruit and we ended up with apples.
What are we going to do that represents the red
That you found on the apron?
Bob: I don't, I'm not sure, I'm not sure.
Vikki: (sighs) it's so important we get this.
Bob: You're not telling me nothing I don't know.
We got to figure this out 'cause this is not our strategy.
We're arguing again.
Vikki: I keep thinking about what I saw in there.
Bob: All right, keep your thoughts to yourself.
Vikki: What are we doing, bob?
What are we doing?
Bob: We have to just stick with the galette.
Vikki: All right, great.
Bob: But we'll compromise, apples and cherry.
Vikki: Apple cherry galette?
Bob: Yeah.
Vikki: We're going to combine our ideas
And we're going to make a cherry apple galette
With a blood orange glaze.
Bob: It might work out for us.
It might just work out for us.
Joel mchale: All right, curtis.
You set the challenge, so what are you seeing out there?
Curtis stone: We have a variety of different approaches.
Three of our teams are making a dessert with a crust.
Two of our teams are making a clafoutis,
Which is made without a crust.
Camille and laissa are making a mixed berry clafoutis.
Laissa: Uh, I think that's enough.
Curtis stone: And amber and yass
Are making cherry clafoutis.
Yass: Just let it go for about five minutes.
Amber: Ok.
Yass: To caramelize.
Curtis stone: Bob and vikki are making
An apple and cherry galette.
Vikki: It's such a range of emotions.
Bob: It's not sweet emotions either.
Curtis stone: They are arguing like cat and dog.
Sally and sherry are making a bakewell tart.
Sally: This better be a damn good bakewell.
Joel mchale: Ricky and dj.
Curtis stone: Yes.
Joel mchale: What are they making?
Curtis stone: A dessert that I've not heard of before.
Yolanda gampp: Because I don't think it exists.
Curtis stone: Right.
A baked pancake tart.
Yolanda gampp: Pancake tart.
Ricky: That's burning, babe.
Dj: I know.
Curtis stone: But sometimes they can, through the clues,
Still make something that does resemble
What the mystery dessert was supposed to be,
So you never know.
Ricky: Can we get a time check?
Joel mchale: One minute!
(beep)
Sally: Hurry up.
There's only a minute left.
Bob: Don't worry.
It's rustic.
Ricky: This looks weird.
Dj: Yup.
Vikki: Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
Joel mchale: Here we go!
Three.
Two.
One.
And that is time.
Time's up.
The safety bake has concluded.
And now, my cardiologist's least favorite part of the show
Where I eat five desserts in a row.
It's tasting time.
Shall we?
Bob and vikki!
Ricky: What's that?
Amber: Is that apples?
Dj: Oh my god.
Joel mchale: Look at that.
Yolanda gampp: What do we have here?
Bob: We have an apple cherry galette.
Curtis stone: Why did you make this dessert?
Bob: We see apples, and we see cherries.
This is why we came up with a galette.
Yolanda gampp: It's not how
You'd traditionally make a galette.
Normally, you roll out the pastry, you pile your fruit in,
And then you fold it on itself.
Curtis stone: But maybe it tastes absolutely fantastic.
(suspenseful music)
I can tell you're great bakers.
This isn't an example of your great baking.
The fruit's not really cooked.
The filling isn't really there.
That said, if a galette was made
In this crime scene kitchen, you might be sitting pretty.
Joel mchale: All right, thanks, you guys.
Bob: Thank you, guys.
Curtis stone: Thanks, guys.
Joel mchale: Camille and laissa!
Yass: All right, it looks nice.
Yolanda gampp: What do we have here?
Camille: It is a mixed berry clafoutis.
Vikki: Cafouti?
Bob: Clafoutis, tutti frutti?
What the?
Sally: Clafoutis.
Sherry: What the heck is a clafoutis?
Bob: Never heard of it.
I am a professionally trained pastry chef.
Yolanda gampp: Explain to us what made you decide
To present this dessert.
Camille: We saw a bowl with batter in there,
And I was sure that it was a clafoutis.
We saw mixed berries.
What was confusing for us,
It's that traditionally, french clafoutis is cherry.
Yass: They didn't see that apron?
Amber: Mm-hmm.
Curtis stone: What I look for in a clafoutis
Is good caramelization around the edge.
I'd be happy with that.
You don't want it to be too moist in the middle.
Yolanda gampp: It's well baked.
It's caramelized on the back and all the way underneath.
Curtis stone: It's a successful clafoutis.
Curtis stone: Thank you.
Curtis stone: It's cooked the right way.
And if you serve this in any pastry shop,
I think they'd be quite happy with it.
Yolanda gampp: Thank you.
Joel mchale: Ricky and dj!
Vikki: Wow.
Sally: Raspberry.
Laissa: What is that?
Yolanda gampp: Wow, what do we have here?
Ricky: We have a raspberry pancake tart.
Joel mchale: Pancake tart.
Ricky: Pancake tart.
Vikki: Pancake tart?
Sally: A pancake tart?
They did not teach you pancake tart in culinary school.
Vikki: I never heard of it.
Have you?
Bob: No.
Curtis stone: What was it that led you to believe
You needed to make a raspberry pancake tart?
Dj: We found this batter on the kitchen island.
And obviously, you're going to use the batter, right?
Ricky: And we knew it was raspberry
'cause we saw the raspberry stains on the apron.
Camille and laissa: Apron?
Laissa: An apron.
Curtis stone: So is it a thing?
Have you ever heard of a pancake tart before?
Ricky: Nope.
(bob laughs)
But we made what we saw in the kitchen.
Curtis stone: It looks quite lovely.
Yolanda gampp: I'm worried about your center.
I'm not going to lie.
Curtis stone: It looks a little soft, doesn't it?
Yolanda gampp: It looks underdone.
Joel mchale: Since this is a brand new dessert, is it,
It's supposed to be raw in the center?
(bob chuckles)
Curtis stone: Well, guys, if we were judging you
On originality, you would get a 10 out of 10.
But we're not.
(contestants laugh)
Yolanda gampp: The center is definitely not baked.
Curtis stone: You know what?
We've had desserts that are unusual before
And they've been the closest thing to the mystery dessert.
So if that's the case today, you're home free.
Dj: All right.
Ricky: All right.
Yes, we're nervous, but we did like the raspberry pancakes.
Like, no one did pancakes.
Dj: We could still do this.
Joel mchale: Amber and yass!
Sherry: Cherry pie.
Amber: Hi.
Yolanda gampp: Hello.
Amber: We made a cherry clafoutis.
Laissa: Cherry.
Really, if it is the right dessert,
I mean, what can I say to camille?
I insist on the mixed berries.
Camille: She insisted.
Amber: We argued 'cause we saw the cherries,
But on the apron, I said it was a raspberry.
Yass: I said it was a cherry
'cause a clafoutis traditionally has cherries in it.
(suspenseful music)
Curtis stone: It's very nice.
You can see the smile on my face.
I love this dessert.
I think it's a really delicious dessert.
The cherries are the classic way of doing this for a reason.
They're plump and they're juicy
And they bring a lot to the dessert.
Yolanda gampp: I think this clafoutis is electrifying.
Curtis stone: So if a clafoutis was made
In the crime scene kitchen, you're probably in good shape.
Yass: Ok, all right.
Amber: Here's hoping.
As long as it's a clafoutis, we got a chance to take it.
Joel mchale: Sally and sherry.
Vikki: Oh.
Vikki and bob: Nice.
Sally: Hello.
Today, we made a bakewell tart.
Bob: A bakewell tart?
I didn't think of that.
Vikki: I didn't think of it either.
Yolanda gampp: And what clues led you to this decision?
Sally: So on the apron, we saw remnants of raspberries,
And we also saw the almond flour off to the side,
So we wanted to make a bakewell tart.
Camille: Did you see almond flour?
Laissa: I didn't see almond flour open.
Curtis stone: This seems like a smart guess to me.
Are you happy with how it came out?
Sherry and sally: Yes, we are. (chuckles)
Yolanda gampp: Well done.
Yass: Oh, no, we can be so wrong.
Yolanda gampp: It looks beautiful.
Sherry: Thank you.
Yolanda gampp: I do like
That you speckled it with raspberries.
I think that's a nice touch, and the crust is beautiful.
Curtis stone: It's sweet, not overly sweet.
It's really delicious.
It's a really good version of a bakewell tart.
Sherry and sally: Thank you.
Sherry: We'll take that.
Joel mchale: Sally and sherry, it was so good.
And if you guessed right with your bakewell tart,
You could be setting yourself up to win the safety bake.
Sherry: I'm like crossing my ears and my fingers
That it is a bakewell.
Camille: Safety, that would be just wonderful.
Joel mchale: Now, it's time to stare with trembling fear.
Reveal the crime scene kitchen dessert!
(suspenseful music)
Joel mchale: Welcome back to crime scene kitchen.
Here's where things stand.
Two teams made a clafoutis,
One with cherry and the other with mixed berries.
One team made a bakewell tart,
And the other, a brand new dessert called a pancake tart.
And one team made a apple cherry galette.
The winner advances directly
To the next stage of the competition
And does not have to take part in the elimination bake.
Confectionator 3000, reveal the crime scene kitchen dessert!
(dramatic music)
Amber: God, please be a clafoutis.
God, please be a clafoutis.
Dj: Please let this be anything with pancakes.
Anything.
Joel mchale: The mystery dessert is a clafoutis
With raspberries and dusted with powdered sugar.
Laissa: We didn't get the right flavor
But least it was a clafoutis.
Camille: So we can still win the safety bake.
Joel mchale: Curtis, what clues
Should they have unraveled?
Curtis stone: Here's how
They should have figured that out.
Of the many fruits present, only one had evidence of use,
Raspberries smeared on the apron.
Yass: Doggone raspberries.
She was set about raspberries, we went with cherries.
So that's it.
Amber: She don't want to talk no more about that.
Yass: Yes.
(yass and amber laugh)
Curtis stone: We got all the clues.
There was raspberry in there.
(laissa chuckles)
Without knowing.
Laissa: With three other berries, yes.
Curtis stone: The baking dish in the dishwasher
Suggested it was used in the bake.
The only evidence of flour used was mixed into the batter.
Along with the baking dish,
This should have suggested a fruit tart without a crust,
The french classic raspberry clafoutis.
Yolanda gampp: Two teams here made the correct dessert,
A clafoutis, one with cherries,
The other with the correct filling, raspberries,
But also three other types of berries.
While cherries weren't the right filling,
Neither is hedging your bets by adding multiple berries,
Only one of which is correct.
Curtis stone: We considered these two teams
Equally close to the mystery dessert,
And in this case, it comes down to taste and execution.
Based on that, the winners of this safety bake are...
Amber and yass!
(contestants applaud) (upbeat music)
Amber: Yes!
We got it, we got it.
Joel mchale: Amber and yass, congrats.
You advance to the next stage.
You can now head to safety.
Thank you.
Yolanda gampp: It was electric.
Curtis stone: Well done, guys.
Joel mchale: Congrats.
Amber: That means we don't got to do the elimination bake,
So drinks tonight.
(yass and amber laugh)
Joel mchale: The time has now come
For the elimination bake.
Remember, the worst performing team in this round
Will be ushered out in a hasty but dignified manner.
Yolanda, this mystery dessert was set by you.
The crime scene kitchen is once again open.
So there are two minutes on the clock.
Ricky and dj, start your search.
Each team gets the same amount of time
To examine the same clues.
Bob: Here we go.
Vikki: Here we go.
Ricky: All right.
We are both super nervous going into this
Just because it is elimination challenge.
Dj: Ok, almond flour was used.
Sugar was used.
All purpose flour looks used.
Ricky: Where's the drying rack?
Ok.
We have a tart pan.
Dj: So we're doing some kind of tart again.
Ricky: Again?
We noticed there is a tart pan in the drying rack.
So obviously, we're like, it's another tart.
Sally: This was on the rolling pin.
Some dough.
Sherry: Almond flour.
Ok, flour, sugar.
We know that the rolling pin was used
Because there's remnants of some sort of dough
That was made.
Sally: Oh, here, tart.
It's a tart, oh.
So right now, I'm thinking it's a tart.
Almond, almond.
Sugar and flour.
Sherry: Oh, this was on here.
Look, smell that.
So I see this filling on the offset and I bring it to sally.
Ok, this is almond.
Smell this.
Sally: It smells like almonds.
So right away, I know
It's some type of almond cream filling,
Which is the same thing as frangipane.
Laissa: I see fruits, pear, plums, oranges, rhubarb.
"note to self, make something seasonal!"
I find a note on the island
And it says bake something seasonal.
Camille: Plums, orange, three.
And I find the date on the counter that is July 6th.
6th of July, it is summer.
Laissa: Oh, yes, yes, seasonal fruits, seasonal fruits.
So I see on the poster, for summer, we have plums.
So I think, "ok, let's go with the plums."
Dj: Make something seasonal.
Bob: July 6th is summer, plums.
Dj: Look, we have these seasonal fruits.
Sally: Plums, plums, plums, plums.
Laissa: Kind of a glaze.
It's just like orange glaze, no?
Oh, apricot.
Maybe apricot.
Ricky: Look, what is this?
Orange glaze?
Dj: Apricot glaze.
Vikki: What is that? Familiar.
Bob: Orange marmalade.
We might be making a glaze with that.
I taste this, I'm tasting orange.
Vikki: It has to be an orange marmalade.
Bob: It's orange.
Three eggs.
Plums.
Camille: Oh, 10 seconds, 10 seconds.
Sherry: Ooh, 10 seconds left.
Look, plums, pears, oranges.
Plums, pears, oranges.
Bob: Make something seasonal.
Camille: Look, look, did you see?
We have the glaze.
Dj: Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Joel mchale: That is time!
Dj: All right.
Sherry: Time's up.
Camille: Whew!
Bob: This is the elimination round.
If we don't get it right,
We can be going home.
Someone is going home after this bake.
Joel mchale: Ok, you have two hours
To make what you think is the mystery dessert
Based on the clues you found in the crime scene kitchen.
Dj: Ok.
Ricky: It's definitely a tart.
Vikki: Let's break it down.
July 6th, summer.
Bob: We're making something seasonal.
Laissa: So it's a frangipane.
Camille: I smell the almond flavor on the offset spatula.
There's almond cream.
Frangipane.
What was the note, use some...
Laissa: Do something seasonal.
We are in 6th July, so it's summer.
Camille: And what was the summer fruit?
Laissa: Plum.
Camille: So this is plum.
Laissa: Even if it's totally weird.
I have never seen frangipane with plums.
Camille: Yeah, but this is what's on the board.
Laissa: We saw a glaze.
We tasted a glaze.
Camille: The glaze is on top.
You're freaking me out.
Laissa: I'm talking too much.
I'm sorry.
Camille: You're freaking me out.
So we are doing a plum frangipane tart with apricot glaze.
We agree.
Laissa: Oh my god, that's a unique moment.
We agree.
Dj: We have to make an apricot nappage on top.
Ricky: A glaze, a glaze.
We know it's orange.
Dj: It was apricot.
Ricky: It was very sweet.
Dj: Apricot.
Ricky: You think it was apricot?
Dj: Yeah.
I know that apricot glaze is used
In almost every traditional tart.
Ricky: So we're making a plum frangipane tart
With an apricot glaze.
Dj: We're hoping that if we're not correct,
It's at least the closest...
Ricky: Yeah.
Dj: ..To the mystery dessert.
Joel mchale: Dj, ricky.
Dj: Joel!
Ricky: Hello, mr. Joel!
Dj: We're just making you a pancake.
Joel mchale: Really?
You know what's great about pancakes?
They're a real thing and an actual dish.
But you know what isn't?
A raspberry pancake tart.
Dj: But it is now.
Joel mchale: So what are you guys making now?
Ricky: So right now we are going to make
A plum frangipane tart with an apricot glaze.
Joel mchale: That sounds made up too, guys.
So what's a frangipane?
Ricky: Frangipane...
Dj: Frangipane.
Ricky: Is an almond-based cream
With almond sugar, almond extract.
It's delicious.
Joel mchale: All right.
Ricky: It's one of my favorite things.
Vikki: Tart pan.
Bob: Definitely making a tart.
Vikki: Mm-hmm, dough.
Bob: With a sweet dough.
We got to show the judges, we got to show these other teams
The italian jersey stuff that we're made of.
We saw the note.
It says, "make something seasonal."
Vikki: Uh-huh.
Bob: Plums, so maybe a plum tart.
Vikki: A tart?
Bob: We got to stop the bickering and arguing.
Vikki: 100%.
We got it, we got it.
Bob: We're not going home.
Vikki: 'cause there was almond flour, a frangipane?
Bob: Yes, that's awesome.
Vikki: Awesome, ok.
Bob: So we're going with a frangipane.
Vikki: Frangipane tart.
Bob: Tart, and plums on top.
Vikki: Right.
Bob: So we are making a plum frangipane tart
With a orange marmalade glaze.
Vikki: All righty, aphrodite.
Joel mchale: Bob and vikki!
Bob: Hey, joel, what's going on?
Joel mchale: How's it going?
Vikki: We're just working.
Joel mchale: Have you guys been fighting
Like a good married couple that you are?
Bob: Yeah, we've been, you know...
Vikki: Well, we had our differences,
But we're learning to agree to disagree.
Bob: We're going to keep up that strategy,
Work together as a team, and we're going to nail this one.
Joel mchale: So bob, what inspired you to become a baker?
Bob: I was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Joel mchale: Right.
Bob: So I'm home going through the chemotherapy,
I started watching baking shows on tv.
Joel mchale: And you literally thought, "I can do that."
Bob: Right, I said, "let me give it a shot."
And I actually made a cake
And brought it into the chemo suite
For the other cancer patients.
I'm going to start crying.
I don't want to cry.
Joel mchale: That was the start of the career.
Vikki: Everybody said, "I want to order a cake from you.
"I want to buy a cake from you."
Bob: Yeah, so bought this little preexisting bakery.
Vikki: Took a shot.
Bob: And now, it's successful.
Joel mchale: That is such a good story.
Bob: I feel if I wasn't diagnosed with cancer
And I feel I wouldn't even be baking today.
Sherry: We can't get eliminated today.
We're working smarter, not harder.
Sally: Actually, I'm having a brain fart.
Sherry: The poster said summer.
What fruit was that?
Plum, right?
Sally: Yeah.
There was a tart shell that was made,
And then the apricot jam.
Sherry: Ok, I'm adding almond flour, sugar.
Curtis stone: Frangipane.
Sherry: For this elimination bake,
We're going to make a plum frangipane tart
With an apricot glaze.
We know we're great detectives on finding clues.
But if other teams made the same thing...
Sally: It's going to come down to the little minor details.
We have to make this to purr-fection.
Sherry: I like that one.
Joel mchale: Yolanda, you set this mystery dessert.
So what do we have?
What's going on here?
Yolanda gampp: Well, it's interesting
Because all the teams are making something similar,
A plum frangipane tart.
There's very, very slight variation.
So if they're all correct, we're going to have to nitpick.
Curtis stone: Of course, they might all have it wrong.
Yolanda gampp: Bob and vikki are the only team
Making an orange glaze,
So that can work in their favor or they could be in danger.
Curtis stone: This could be the difference
Between staying in the competition and going home.
Vikki: I'm actually a little nervous.
Bob: Don't be nervous.
Vikki: Ah, it's burning.
Yolanda gampp: Oh, that's not good.
Burnt glaze is not good.
Bob: You got to put a little sugar in it so...
Vikki: Too much talking.
Bob: All right.
Vikki: That's what this is, too much talking.
Bob: I think we screwed ourselves with time.
Vikki: Oh, yeah. (sighs)
Joel mchale: Welcome back to crime scene kitchen.
We're in the thick of the elimination bake
And I'm watching our teams make 50 shades of tart.
That either means these bakers spotted the same clues
Or I'm hallucinating again.
Vikki: I'm starting over, bob.
I'm getting the juice in.
Bob: All right. Work, work.
Vikki: (sighs) nerves are getting the best of me.
Bob: All right, just deep breath.
Joel mchale: Five minutes left!
Sally: Oh, shoot.
It's getting burnt, sherry.
Ok. (beep)
Sherry: Our tart smells burnt.
Now we're freaking out that it's burnt.
Sally: Yeah, that is not pretty.
Curtis stone: If you ever cook a frangipane tart,
It's going to get quite dry.
You're going to get it too crisp and then you're going to lose
That lovely, soft consistency that you're going for
In the center of your dessert.
If they're undercooked,
Well, of course that could be a total disaster.
It'll end up just a big, sloppy mess.
So you've got to get it just right.
Dj: What?
Ricky: No, I'm just pacing.
Can't I pace?
Dj: No, you make me nervous.
The biggest concern right now is that this frangipane cooks
And it's not raw in the middle,
Kind of like our pancake.
Ricky: Yeah.
We're good.
Dj: Can we do it in two minutes?
Ricky: Glaze in two?
Dj: Glaze?
Ricky: Yeah.
Dj: Can we do it in less?
Ricky: Yes.
Dj: Ok.
Ricky: We literally just...
Curtis stone: I'm taking the baby out.
Laissa: Ok.
Joel mchale: One minute remaining, one minute!
Ricky: Go.
Dj: We have time.
Sally: (beep) it's burnt.
Ricky: We got 30 seconds.
Sally: Ok, I'm going to add some gold leaf.
Joel mchale: Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
And that is time!
That is time!
Step away from the bakes.
Kiss your partner.
Bob already did that, nice job.
Step away.
Let's go to the tasting, shall we?
Amber and yass, you won the safety.
So sit back, relax, and watch the tasting.
Ricky and dj!
Sally: They did the same thing.
Camille: It's the same.
It's plum.
Curtis stone: Ooh.
Yolanda gampp: Well.
Curtis stone: Well, what have we here?
Ricky: We have a plum frangipane tart
With an apricot glaze.
Vikki: Oh, they've got apricot glaze.
Yolanda gampp: And what clues
Led you to make this dessert for us?
Ricky: Well, we saw the tart pan.
Dj: And we went with the apricot glaze
Because when we tasted it, we were between
Is it orange, is it apricot,
But the taste was, for me, pure apricot.
Bob: I didn't see the apricot, it's all good.
It tasted orange to me.
Apricot didn't even come into my brain.
Vikki: No, it's definitely orange.
Curtis stone: The moment of truth, gentlemen.
Yolanda gampp: It is a little underdone,
But it's better than the pancake tart.
(ricky and dj laugh)
Curtis stone: You can see here quite clearly, right?
It is still quite soft.
Dj: Yeah.
Curtis stone: This slice in particular.
It's almost like it hasn't baked at all.
Dj: Yeah.
Curtis stone: Look, if it's an almond frangipane tart
With an apricot glaze and plums,
Then fingers crossed not everybody else did that,
Because then all we can really do
Is judge it on taste and execution.
Dj: I'm really praying
That we got this mystery dessert correct.
Ricky: I hope the other three teams...
Dj: They didn't.
Joel mchale: Vikki and bob.
Sherry: Ooh, that looks beautiful.
Sally: I can't see.
Bob: So this is a plum frangipane
With the orange marmalade glaze.
Dj: So when they say orange, I'm like, damn.
Yolanda gampp: With all of you
Being professionally trained,
I've been expecting to see some really beautiful desserts,
And this is definitely one of them.
Bob: Thank you.
Curtis stone: I think this is
A really well constructed tart, I do.
You also, using that orange glaze,
Have given it a real sweetness.
It's a very good tart.
And if what was baked in the crime scene kitchen
Was a plum frangipane tart with an orange glaze,
Then I think you guys are going to be looking pretty good.
Vikki: Great.
Bob: Thank you.
If we come close enough to the mystery dessert...
Vikki: We're safe.
Bob: ..We're safe.
Joel mchale: Laissa and camille!
Camille: It's our first time in an elimination bake
So the pressure is huge.
Dj: Oh.
Joel mchale: Look at that.
Curtis stone: This is a plum frangipane tart
And apricot glaze on top.
Bob: We did the orange glaze.
I still feel confident that it was orange in there.
Curtis stone: I mean, the rosette patent
Is really beautiful, perfect thin slices.
I can see your professional training coming through.
The appearance is really special.
(suspenseful music)
Joel mchale: Are you guys nervous?
Camille: Yes.
Chef?
Curtis stone: Unfortunately, you've underbaked the tart.
It's not so underbaked that it's inedible,
But the center isn't as pleasant, of course, as the outside.
But the pastry is really good, and it's nice and crunchy,
And the plums have a real sweetness to them.
Camille: I know that everything tastes good,
But the undercooking...
Laissa: It's a big mistake.
Joel mchale: Sally and sherry.
Here we go.
Camille: Oh dear.
Laissa: Is it burnt?
Ricky: That looks really dark.
Sherry: We made a summer plum frangipane tart
With an apricot glaze.
But since it's summer, it's a little sunburnt.
Vikki: That's not a pro move.
Bob: No.
Yolanda gampp: Thank you.
Although the pastry is overdone, it doesn't taste burnt
But it takes away from the flavor of the apricot glaze.
I can't taste it at all.
Curtis stone: My problem with it is its texture.
It's, unfortunately, just it's a little dry for me.
Joel mchale: I liked it.
Curtis stone: You know, you guys are competing
Against classically trained bakers.
I mean, we've had four tarts
That are all very, very similar.
And there's things to like and slightly dislike
About each one of them.
Sally: We could be going home because we burnt our tart.
Sherry: We definitely don't want to go home tonight.
So. (sighs)
Joel mchale: The elimination bake is over
And the tasting is done.
Confectionator 3000, reveal the crime scene kitchen dessert...
(suspenseful music)
..After the break.
(contestants laugh)
Got you, guys.
Get you every time.
Welcome back to crime scene kitchen.
Here's where things stand right now.
All four teams have made a plum frangipane tart.
Three of them use an apricot glaze,
While one team went with an orange glaze.
Bob: Everyone made a similar dessert.
This is going to come down to the tiniest little thing.
Joel mchale: Confectionator 3000,
Reveal the crime scene kitchen dessert.
(dramatic music)
Dj: Apricot glaze.
Ricky: If it's not apricot, we're going home.
Bob: Please be orange glaze.
Come on.
Joel mchale: The mystery dessert is
A frangipane plum tart, a buttery sablee tart shell
Filled with a layer of frangipane
Topped with a rosette of fresh plums and apricot glaze.
Bob: Oh, come on!
Dj: Thank god!
Joel mchale: Yolanda, tell us about the clues
Our bakers should have put together.
Yolanda gampp: Here's how they should have gotten
To that answer.
Congratulations, you all spotted the used tart pan
And connected the seasonal fruit note
To the date and the poster,
Leading you to make a plum tart.
Sherry and sally: Yes!
Yolanda gampp: You all had the opportunity
To taste the glaze so you should have picked up on the fact
That it was apricot, not orange.
Bob: So we guessed wrong again.
Vikki: A perfect frangipane tart
But with the wrong glaze.
Bob: Yeah, we put the wrong glaze on it.
Joel mchale: Now you've got to make a tough call.
Which team performed the worst in this elimination bake
And is leaving tonight?
Yolanda gampp: This was the hardest call
We've had to make this season.
You all made virtually identical correct tarts.
Curtis stone: Because of that,
Our decision will come down to tiny details,
And in truth, most of the tarts had flaws.
Yolanda gampp: We've thought long and hard about this.
Unfortunately, the bakers going home tonight are...
(suspenseful music)
..Bob and vikki.
Bob: It's so frigging frustrating.
If we put that apricot on there...
Vikki: We would have won.
Bob: We wouldn't be saying bye-bye to everybody.
Yolanda gampp: Like we said, this is about
Getting as close as possible to the mystery dessert.
You misread a vital clue about the glaze
That everyone else got right.
I'm so sorry.
Joel mchale: It was so much fun
Having you guys on the show.
Vikki: Yeah, it was great.
Joel mchale: Absolutely, it was great.
Vikki: We had a wonderful time.
Bob: You guys are awesome.
Vikki: We met some great girls and guys.
Bob: Love youse all.
Joel mchale: Thank you.
Thanks, guys. (group applauds)
Curtis stone: Good luck, you guys.
Vikki: This experience brought us closer together.
Bob: Yes.
It was an awesome experience.
Vikki: Yeah.
Bob: Working alongside with you.
And this woman right has been...
Vikki: I'll always be with you.
Bob: I know.
Joel mchale: Guys, congratulations.
And now, you join our safety bake winners, amber and yass,
And you're all moving on
To the next stage of the competition.
Join us next week for two more crime scenes,
Five more commercial breaks,
Seven massive desserts,
And one actress and 'real housewives' star, nene leakes,
Joining us as a guest judge.
Now that's a recipe for a television show.
For crime scene kitchen, I'm jason sudeikis.
(contestants chuckle)
Goodnight.
(dramatic music)
