-It is library week on Kids Baking Championship! Their desserts must look like a book and have a name and picture for the cover.
-Lila’s book is about her dog’s adventures with a squirrel that steals from her. She makes macarons despite knowing that it can take a long time to assemble.
-Levi makes sandwich cookies with peanut butter and chocolate buttercream. His book is about the surfing adventures of his brother Ari.
-Oscar is making baklava. His book is in honor of his grandfather.
-Elsie makes raspberry shortbread cookies with chocolate ganache. The book is about puppies and rainbows and cupcakes….oh my!
-Elsie’s ganache is too loose, so she must start over.
-Tasi is doing a murder mystery book with a cheesecake and pineapple dessert.

-Lila makes macaroons to go with her macarons for the twist.
-Elise makes a tart dough bookmark.

-Everyone else rushes to finish on time.
-Levi’s cookie also breaks, so he adds buttercream to try and fix it,
-Elise’s ganache is a bit overwhipped, but it tastes fine, so she goes with it. She also changes her title to The Camp Bear.

-Tasi’s book cover and bookmark meld together, so she must rush to fix it….and is running out of time to decorate.
-Oscar makes a pina colada to go with his cake….or to drink? Duff teases him about drinking on the job.
