For the finale, Natalie and Luis were ready for the opportunity, and in some cases, the two challenges were in their wheelhouse. With the dessert round, the napoleon was a technically difficult dessert. Although there was a slight flaw in their puff pastry, it earned them a place in the final showpiece round. Successful contestants, what set them apart from those who struggled a little bit more with the clues?

The network describes “Crime Scene Kitchen” as a “culinary guessing game,” in which bakers must decode what type of dessert they will be tasked with making. This will be done by them sifting through a few “elusive clues” and tasting the crumbs. Then, they will attempt to recreate the dessert for the celebrity judges, Stone and Gampp, who will determine how close they got to matching the dishes, as well as how good their item tastes. This week, The Merge happened, so we, for the very first time, saw both the self-taught bakers and the professional bakers baking all at once at a chance for the grand prize! The crime scene kitchen dessert this round was a semi-naked spiced carrot cake with coconut cream cheese frosting. The modeling chocolate and vegetables left out were for molding decorative corn, peas, and tomatoes to top the four-layer confection. Of the four carrot cakes, Cathy & Thomas were the only ones to correctly frost their cake as "semi-naked", thus winning the main challenge as well. Luis & Natalie correctly guessed it was a naked cake, but decided to show off their skills and make a "farmer's market bushel" cake decorated with not only the modeling chocolate vegetables but wood planks and barrels, complete with hoops. It was an impressive cake, but not the decoration the judges were looking for. The French approach has been taken to an extreme by Charm City Cakes, the wild Baltimore bakery featured on the Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes.” If you enjoy Crime Scene Kitchen, then be sure to tune in each week on Monday, starting at 7 pm CST, where we will see some mysterious treats being made by some of America’s best bakers!Luis: Like the geode cake. She got super excited with the geode cake. "It's a geode cake. It's a geode cake." I was like, "Are you sure?" For a lighter texture, many recipes add the yolks to the batter separate from the whites, which are beaten and folded into the batter after the flour (I rarely bother). Other recipes mix the sugar with the flour and add the butter, eggs and milk to it, or mix the sugar with the eggs first before beating in the rest. However you do it, the liquid should always be added to the flour last and the batter should be mixed just until the flour is absorbed. Luis: We tried to not discuss it while we were there, but I mean, it didn't help us that round. But at least we know now. Right? Cover ground, get everything possible. I think out of all the groups, I was the first one to actually look in the trash can and take stuff out of the trash cans. I was like, "I'm going in there." I was like, "I'm making sure that I get every single clue possible." The second challenge in Crime Scene Kitchen is called the Main Event – the Showpiece Round. Whoever comes in last place this round will unfortunately be eliminated and go home. In the first "dessert round", the teams are tasked with re-creating the dessert made in the crime scene kitchen after three minutes to analyze the clues left from the mess in the kitchen. The first round mystery dessert was a Boston cream pie, which deceptively enough, is actually a cake. The clues that led to this dessert were the ring of chocolate and almonds, indicating the sides were covered in almonds, the spiderweb template for the icing pattern in the ganache on top, and the bowl with remains of pastry cream in the sink.

In case you missed week one, here’s the premise of the show: each week there are two challenges. In both challenges, before the baking actually begins, each team has a chance to ‘investigate’ the kitchen. There are dirty dishes, used utensils, things in the fridge, and definitely some things to fool you (a few this week) and throw you off guard just a bit.

But many of the cakes in Beranbaum’s book don’t tempt me, and none of those in Healy and Bugat’s do. Namely, the classic French bakery cakes. For the finale showpiece, the baking teams had to make a birthday cake for Yolanda Gampp. The clues pointed to her favorite cake flavors. But, the baking teams could incorporate those flavors in any way that they wanted. In case you missed week or season one, here’s the premise of the show: each week there are two challenges. In both challenges, before the baking actually begins, each team has a chance to ‘investigate’ the kitchen. There are dirty dishes, used utensils, things in the fridge, and definitely some things to fool you (quite a few this week) and throw you off guard just a bit. The winners of the first challenge will get one extra clue in the second challenge – huge advantage!

For the decoration, the three cakes were very different. Thomas and Cathy took a more simple approach. While their cake was elegant, the reality was that it didn’t really scream birthday cake. For the showpiece round, bakers were given a lot of clues for a cake with many components – marzipan, royal icing and a template, whipped cream and gelatin, cake batter, and raspberries. Together, they are the ingredients of a traditional Swedish princess cake, or Prinsesstårta: a sponge cake filled with raspberry jam and pastry cream, stabilized whipped cream on top, and all covered in thin pale green marzipan with royal icing piping and a rose on top. Ultimately, the dessert from the crime scene kitchen was actually an Atlantic Beach Pie (also known as a Boardwalk Pie). This meant Steph and Cherry earned safety in this round and don’t have to do the elimination challenge. First up we have our safety bake. Whoever wins this round, will be safe going into the elimination round. And this is our first opportunity to see how well these bakers can investigate the clues in this kitchen. Crime Scene Kitchen starts season 2 by introducing the self-taught bakers first Once I’d grasped the basics (and tried just about every recipe in “Southern Cakes”), I moved on to Rose Levy Beranbaum’s “The Cake Bible,” and “The Art of the Cake” by her mentors Bruce Healy and Paul Bugat. Both books are crammed with sophisticated techniques, and I now follow Beranbaum’s foolproof method of making butter cream frosting. Her discussion of the chemistry and physics behind her recipes is invaluable.

Did the Crime Scene Kitchen winner cake it to the limit with their showpiece?

While all four teams guessed the dessert correctly, one clue made the difference. Only Thomas and Cathy and Natalie and Luis made the classic Napoleon, the correct dessert. Both of those baking teams moved onto the showpiece round. Yes, and they definitely learned as they went on in the show. So the first time in the Crime Scene Kitchen, I think they were just sort of gathering all the information they could. Right. And they didn't pay attention to, was it closed? Maybe where was it placed? Was it next to something else? They didn't pay as much attention to that. And they certainly learned to pay better attention. In a twist, the dessert round did not come with an extra clue for the showpiece challenge. Instead, the least successful baking team will be sent home. To say that this extra ingredient raised the temperature in the kitchen is an understatement.
