Berries play a prominent role in both challenges that kick off Season 2. To start, the classic springtime fruit is off-limits during a shortcake makeover; and later, the eight competing bakers must create a berry tasty naked cake.

The seven remaining bakers take on outdoor activities with a ballpark snack dessert and barbecue imposter desserts. Baby back rib brownies, anyone?

The bakers make yummy dippers and create a sweet fondue; the bakers must produce rainbow desserts.

Five bakers remain. Challenges include turning farm-fresh vegetables into delectable desserts; and paying sweet homage to bacon and eggs.

A Mother's Day challenge begins with the four remaining bakers being inspired by gifts. Later, they take on chocolate.
