Big Apple Fireworks (S02E08)

Host Jesse Palmer arrives in New York City, ready to kick off the finale with a bang! The vibrant atmosphere is adorned in red, white, and blue for a festive 4th of July backyard barbecue. The bakers are challenged to whip up desserts that showcase the holiday colors using seasonal delights like strawberries, blueberries, and white peaches. The judges—Carla Hall, Duff Goldman, and Damaris Phillips—are amazed by the bakers' creative 4th of July fireworks cakes as they deliberate on who will take home the title of Summer Baking Champion and a prize of $25,000!
