An unusual animal race has one baker building a cake like no other, and filigree details make a Chinese New Year celebration cake even more spectacular. Dinner guests are fooled when dessert comes early, plus a baker in Texas builds a treat that's so realistic it's hard to tell it's cake.

Volunteers are surprised by a yin-and-yang-inspired sweet treat and a bride is overwhelmed with joy when her wedding cake gets its own water feature. Then, one baker goes over the top with a cake design that's big enough for someone to hide inside and a Coney Island celebration gets a sculpted masterpiece featuring the attraction's most iconic ride.

Guests of a Vegas party go hog wild for a chocolate stout cake while a little girl's birthday dreams come true as her favorite pink-haired character comes to life. Next, one baker leaves guests completely mystified and a deserving veteran's family is celebrated with a super realistic and patriotic cake.
