Falling Into Winter (S08E01)

The competition begins with host Jesse Palmer encouraging the twelve bakers to celebrate the shift in seasons by crafting doughnuts inspired by fall and winter. In the primary challenge, the bakers get inventive by incorporating popular holiday cheese board ingredients into their apple and cheese desserts. With a double elimination on the horizon, judges Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman, and Carla Hall face the tough decision of sending two bakers packing just in time for the holiday season.
