Surprise Desserts

The theme is surprises, and host Scott Conant challenges the eight competitors to show their mastery of molten lava cakes. In the Master Challenge, the bakers must create smashable desserts using meringue, sugar or chocolate, and they have to use coconut as the featured flavor. Acclaimed pastry chef Sherry Yard joins judges Jason Smith and Marcela Valladolid to decide which baker goes home.
