Love is in the air, as Duff Goldman and Lorraine Pascale invite some brides and grooms to boot camp. First, the recruits have to sculpt wedding cake toppers of the special guests in a decorating art class. Afterwards, the recruits go head-to-head and bake a four-layer celebration cake. The two that fall below the baking bar will be sent home.

The recruits arrive at a county fair and have to take part in a very messy pie-eating contest. Later, they enter a baking competition to be judged by Duff and Lorraine during a blind tasting. For the main challenge, donuts are made.

Four recruits are left. For their first challenge, they must show their knowledge of pastries and, with help from YouTube baking star Ashley Adams, they make animal-inspired éclairs. Later, puppies act as muses for 3-D dog cakes.

The final two recruits must take over a bakery and bake for a panel of baking experts; Duff Goldman and Lorraine Pascale serve as mentors as their recruits put their skills to the test; one recruit will be named the winner and take home $25,000.
