Host Jesse Palmer drinks from a mystical Fountain of Youth and magically transforms into his 10-year-old self before giving the nine remaining bakers their first challenge. They have 90 minutes to travel back in time and create an elevated version of their favorite childhood dessert, reimagined with a fresh, spring twist. Then, the competitors design cakes inspired by a clock of their choice for judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown and Nancy Fuller. The cakes will reflect spring's beauty and include a time that holds personal significance for each baker.
