In the cake round, the bakers must create a dream wedding cake for Andrea and Jered, a couple of professional puppeteers who want a blend of a traditional wedding design for her and a puppet theme for him. The couple chooses their favorite cake to have at their wedding, and expert judges Kimberly Bailey, Maneet Chauhan and Randy Fenoli decide which team is sent home.
Hosts Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir challenge the five baking teams to make a cake topper that's an ode to music. Then the teams meet their clients, Ashley and Phil, who got engaged while dancing.
