6: S16E6 "Pastry Week"

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 18:44:00 -0400

What’s that flake of buttery goodness? Ahhh yes… it’s Pastry Week! Join Wendy, Jayme, and Greg as they ooh, ahh, and groan their way through the tent’s laminated layers, savory plaits, and gravity-defying tart sculptures.

From sausage-stuffed braids to Jamaican beef patties, Gala pies with mysterious holes (or not enough of them!), and pecan-pie towers threatening to topple — this episode was flaky in all the best ways. The bakers have leveled up, and now even the smallest mis-lamination could send someone home.

Who rose to the occasion and who got buttered out of the competition? Tune in for our laughs, gasps, and maybe a few pastry puns along the way.
