America's young bakers are greeted with a display featuring a bush, a pig, a large pin, and a cake; wonder what it could mean? Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman challenge the five young bakers to each make a poke cake (a sheet cake with holes poked in after baking, and the holes are then filled with delicious pudding or sauce) with fillings such as pureed fruit or pudding. To increase the cuteness factor, they must decorate it to look like the pokiest little critter -- a hedgehog. Cake flavors are assigned with cute stuffed hedgehog toys.
