In the series premiere, Jesse randomly splits the chefs into two groups. They're then tasked with creating a dessert featuring one of the four tastes — sweet, salty, sour or bitter — combined with a specific texture. Each baker must craft an elevated plated dessert in their signature style inspired by their assigned profile to present to the judges. After several eliminations, the remaining bakers advance to the Master Challenge, where the chefs must create a dessert inspired by the roots of their baking journey.
