Cream Rises to the Top

Bonjour, Paris! Stephanie Boswell and Ludo Lefebvre welcome ten bakers to Paris with their first challenge: make a dessert that represents their culinary point of view while demonstrating their knowledge of French techniques. Then, the bakers are whisked away to the luxurious Royal Monceau Hotel to meet pastry chef Quentin Lechat, sample his delicacies and learn about an iconic French ingredient: cream. Once they get back to the kitchen, they must demonstrate both technique and innovation as they create one showstopping cake that features two uses of cream.
