List of episodes

The fourth season of Next Great Baker premiered on June 24, 2014. [1] Unlike other previous seasons, the teams competed in teams of two. [2] Other changes from the previous seasons include the addition of Jacques Torres and Bobbie Lloyd as judges, [3] the addition of the final showdown, and the opportunity to work at Buddy's Las Vegas cake shop. However, some aspects of the show were similar, including having ten competitors (or teams) as in season 1, and the $100,000 prize awarded in each of the previous seasons remained.

  • "'Baker's Challenge'" : For the first Baker's Challenge, each team of two has 1 hour to bake a dessert good of their choosing. Buddy and two famous pastry artists (Jacques Torres and Bobbie Lloyd) are judges. The pink team, mother and daughter Julie and Danielle Voudrie, has won due for their cinnamon roll; for this they're rewarded to be the first to pick the location of their choosing for the Cake Challenge.
  • "'Cake Challenge'" : Each team of two has to go to an iconic location in New York and New Jersey and make a cake inspired by the location itself. During their car ride to the Statue of Liberty, the maroon team, aunt and niece Kaiulani Delgado and Roxanne Bodell, experience a car crash, in which Kai, who was driving the car, cries because she never experienced this before and switches the driver's position.
