Canada's Birthday Cake Creation | MasterChef Canada | MasterChef World

Canada is a hundred and fifty years old and to celebrate it we have created a big birthday cake this cake that's for  delicious layers and three clears up icing   each one a different flavor and we want you to  replicate it because this is a really big job   you're gonna be working in pairs and without  knowing it you already chose your partner look   beside you whoever shares your cooking station  today is the person you're gonna be baking with   for starters we're not telling you the flavors  of the four layers of this cake or the three   layers of the icing between them awesome this  is impossible more importantly we're not gonna   let you see anything that's right you are gonna  taste this cake blindfolded oh my god I have to   figure out four different flavors of cake three  different flavors of frosting with this song   you now have ten minutes to engage all of your  senses except for your sight your time for tasting   starts now let's keep your voices down so nobody  can hear us can't bottom because this is icing   on top seven taste profiles they have to pick out  every single layer here presents different levels   of difficulty I take chocolate easy coconut maybe  a little bit more difficult if he's coconut if   I have one thing going for me it's definitely  my palate I know a lot of flavors I'm able to   pick up tastes really well Satchel that's gonna  give people trouble because he could taste like   a lot of nuts and it's almond let's not forget  by the time you get through to the third or   fourth flavor your palate starts to get a little  confused right vanilla chocolate chocolate hey Dad that's bright I hope you enjoyed Canada's birthday  cake now it's up to you to replicate it you will   have full access to a specialty pantry where  you'll find everything you need you'll also find   a lot of things in that pantry that you don't  need you have 60 minutes to make a beautiful   birthday cake the pair that does the best job  replicating the cake that you just tasted will   earn a huge advantage in the upcoming elimination  challenge visually I'm pretty confident without   the second layer on the bottom of this chocolate  the first layer of icing is toasted coconut the   second layer is orange topped with the pistachio  icing third layer of the cake is maple it has a   caramel bacon icing and finally the top layer is  white cake with real blueberries I'm at a loss   for words I didn't taste one hint of blueberry  Matt and Justine please bring up your birthday   cake I know our cake looks good I know it's  gonna present well and I need this advantage looks quite amazing you've got great height  there are a couple of little bubbles and   imperfections but well a lot is gonna be  revealed when I cut myself a slice [Music] now the moment of truth look at that a  good amount of icing between each layer   good thickness on the sponge now walk  me through each layer chocolate toasted   coconut then it's a pistachio I think almond  fudge cake I think is candied bacon and that   I think is just plain vanilla overall  you made two mistakes your almond layer   should have been maple and you missed  the blueberries let's give it a taste tastes delicious thank you that orange is sample  enough that just sort of comes into play and then   who doesn't love a good old-fashioned chocolate  cake lovely well done thank you really feeling   good we hit 85% of those flavors Miranda and  Erin please bring up your birthday cake I   know there's a few appearance flaws within  but I'm walking up with confidence [Music] I think you know you got the  shape right but what's inside bring me three layers first layer is chocolate  with toasted coconut icing orange cake hazelnut   frosting a lemon cake with a maple almond and  then the white vanilla cake on top overall you   made four mistakes your lemon cake should be  maple you missed two of the icings and also   omits the blueberries all right well I'll  tell you the most important thing is what nice taste on the chocolate very very delicate  you know sparkly feel I can sense that essence   of coconut you got that right you two can bake  Barry and Alicia please bring up your birthday   cake this is so ugly and I'm so embarrassed  that I have to show this to the judges [Music] in terms of the replication looks  like you've come up a little short tell me   what happened guys the chocolate didn't turn into  cake it turned into two even though that chocolate   layer may not have come through hopefully your  palates came through for you a good amount of   the facing on the top for the sides that is  the orange sponge here I believe so chef I   got a little frazzled in the assembly and the  next layer it appears that I may have switched   the maple and the lemon well let's see how it  tastes it seems to me that the multiple layers   and the details of this challenge may have gotten  the better of you you didn't give up I appreciate   it Alicia and I are both really bummed but what  are you gonna do Trevor and taya please bring   your cake up to the front I'm feeling great  I think our cake is the one to beat [Music]   it looks spectacular it's beautiful  but what matters it's what's inside this is the coconut obviously yes and what is the  icing in between here we did maple maple and you   know that should it be in pistachio right yes  which flavors is cake here maple Wow bang on a   few little missteps get maple icing instead  of pistachio and you missed the blueberries   antastic flavor amazing teamwork because if you  can do that blindfolded imagine what you can do   when you have access to all of your senses please  go to the front we're hoping that the judges will   overlook the overall appearance of the cake and  hopefully just taste the deliciousness in sight   [Music] it might be a bit of an ugly duckling here   but inside might be a swan we're  helping sell let's see [Music] Wow look at that it is actually a very happy  looking cake pistachio what happened we   couldn't really taste Sasha so we thought it  was like mix between almond and hazelnut and   very interesting this pink maple overall you  made three mistakes your almond there should   be maple your hazelnut icing should  it be pistachio and you also missed   the blueberries what layer should I try vanilla  sponge with the maple bacon frosting here it goes [Music] it's delicious I sing smooth light  delicate I get the maple I get the bacon   I get everything hey moist Erie next time  just make sure you get it nice little team   although we didn't nail the replication our  flavors than our cake we're still delicious   nonetheless I think it's between Justin and Matt  and me and taya thank God the most flavors right   but their construction wasn't as good as  ours as you all know only one cake can win   this challenge because this was a replication  accuracy was essential we went on to consider   taste structure and of course Beauty the  home cooks that made the best cake were Matt and Justine [Music] I push myself every time I'm in the  kitchen and this was no exception I'm so excited
