Plot[]
Description[]
There's a gorgeous parrot and loveable cockatoo in the kitchen, because this season is all about animals! For the kickoff challenge, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown ask the 12 bakers to create an animal texture tart decorated with creature-inspired features like scales, feathers, fur or fins. Then, for a twist, the kitchen whiz kids must add an edible version of their animal's tail to their dessert.
Summary[]
For their first challenge of the season, twelve kid bakers had two and a half hours to make tarts topped with the texture of the scales, feathers, fur, or fins of a selected animal. The tart also had to contain a flavor inspired by their animal's color. The mid-round twist was to add the animal's tail as an edible add-on.
