The contestants are heading to the circus and when they get there, they have loads of fun. All of a sudden, there are three performers on a motorcycle, it is the three judges. Christina announces that the junior chefs will have to cook for the circus performers, there are 51 and they are hungry. The cooks have to look under their seats to find out which team they are on. Che is the Team Captain on the red team and Evie the Team Captain for the blue team. The red team will be making a pan-seared salmon with sauteed spinach, orzo and a cherry tomato salad with a herb vinaigrette. The blue team will be making a delicious grilled New York strip steak with fantastic sweet potato mash and an incredible soy vinaigrette. They have 45 minutes to prep and 60 minutes to serve.
Evie’s team is not doing well and she calls a meeting and breaks down, she tells everyone it is super hard. Christina intervenes and gives Evie some words of confidence. On the other team, Che is doing a pretty good job, but Mateo is trying to help out acting like a CEO.
The performers are arriving for their meal. The red team is all over the place while the blue team is already serving their plates. The communication on the red team is getting worse. On the red team, they serve raw salmon and Chef Ramsey is not happy. Reid is the grill master, he has cooked all 51 steams by himself.
The red team and the blue team’s have completed their service, but there is only one winning team; the blue team.
The red team will face the pressure test.
At the end of this challenge, at least two cooks will be going home. For this pressure test, the cooks have to make a birthday cake. Aaron’s favorite is double chocolate, Christina’s favorite is vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles, and Gordon’s is a football inspired lemon cake. Today, they will have to make their signature birthday cakes.
Sadie is up first, she made a Pink Champagne Cake with Rose Buttercream and Raspberry Jam. Gordon says it is a work of art, worth $25 a slice.
Tal made a Brooklyn Blackout Cake with Espresso-Chocolate Frosting and Chocolate Ganache. Christina says the cake is dry, it’s below average.
Aaron made a Blueberry-Lemon Cake with Lemon Frosting. Aaron says the cake is a little underdone, but the lemon frosting is very good.
Mateo made a Vanilla Sponge Cake with Chocolate Buttercream and a Cupcake. Gordon says it is beautiful, great job.
Kate made a Tye-Dye Cake with Raspberry Frosting. Christina loves the tye-dye effect, it is delicious.
Jaala made a Vanilla Galaxy Cake with Buttercream Frosting. Aaron appreciates the look but the cake doesn’t taste like any one flavor, it is all over the place.
Ashley made Four Berry Cake with Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting. Gordon says the sponge is dense, it is sliding left to right.
Unfortunately, we are going to have to say goodbye to two cooks. But first, the judges were very impressed with performances by Kate, Aaron, Mateo, and the best cake of the evening, Sadie.
That leaves Tal, Jaala, and Ashley. Two are leaving and one is staying. Tal and Ashley are going home, Jaala is safe and heads up to the balcony.
THE END
