Baked With Love: Holiday

Host Tamera Mowry-Housley greets ten family pairs of bakers at the holiday baking barn, where they first must prove themselves with pie, and then heat things up with some exquisite yule logs.

Bakers are tasked with creating a Christmas cookie wreath, but the seemingly simple assignment proves to be too much for some; a 3-D Christmas tree cake leads to a major meltdown for one family pair.

With each team given a lyric from "The 12 Days of Christmas," the ovens are going full tilt to turn out 12 perfect cupcakes; families trifle with lots of lush layers to create showstoppers for the holiday table.

Sugar and spice are not so nice, with an ornamental donut challenge, including a surprise ingredient, followed by a gingerbread build; the baking bar is rising higher than a Christmas star.

The teams get fancy for Santa with choux pastry, then bake their holiday dreams come true with cakes reminiscent of their best childhood gift.

Teams are dreaming of a white Christmas as the temperatures drop in the baking barn; a no-bake cheesecake recipe helps; the kitchen proves too hot for one team.

It's the night before Christmas, and all through the barn, our bakers are stirring macaron batter; the pairs try their best at tiered snow globe cakes.
