It’s a countdown to disaster when the contestants make festive cookie masks and a spherical ball-drop cake to ring in the New Year.

A Seuss-inspired sugary feast of green eggs, ham and the Grinch's roast beast. Would they, could they, ace these cakes? Sadly, no. They cannot bake.

The bakers aim for the best of the bad list with angel-shaped waffle-cone tree toppers and a "Nicole at the Pole" cake with rock-candy geodes.

A menorah made of jelly-filled doughnuts, a cake shaped like an inflatable bear, and the first celebrity contestant? This Festival of Lights is lit.

Time-honored traditions take a delightfully terrible turn with hand-painted cake-pop ornaments and a fruitcake featuring fan-favorite Wes.

The bakers pay homage to "A Christmas Carol," creating cupcakes with cookie ghost toppers and a hilariously haunting bust of Ebenezer Scrooge.
