Winter has come. Actor Jérôme Niel judges global-warming muffins that look cool, but hide molten hearts, and cakes that qualify as titanic disasters.

Overseen by chocolatier Jacques Torres, the contenders mold cupcakes into lumpy French icons and try to assemble picnic baskets out of chocolate cake.

Bad bakers become even worse artists as they create sketchy shortbread renderings of the judges and a busted bust of Céline Dion for comic Nadia Roz.

The cooks go for the win, attempting World Cup cakes and sweets that almost resemble soccer stars while comedian Waly Dia watches with wonder.
