My life is cursed and so is this cake
It's a marshmallow, grow up!
I think maybe it needs to go outside!
What!? No, I don't like that. Next
Ew I can see corn
Its marshmallows GROoOOW UuP
It's penis and balls of course
Why is it brown, Mitch?
I don't know. Why is anything brown?
We can still win this shit
Why is it puckering?!

In this parody of holiday baking competition shows, four contestants present their holiday-themed confections to a panel of judges. Each baker unveils progressively more disturbing creations: Timothée Chalamet's "Diversity of the World" cake requires his entire arm to go inside it and contains mysterious marshmallows that look like corn; Kyle Mooney's Christmas memory cake is shaped like a penis and balls; Cecily Strong's Elsa cake has a disturbing puckering movement; and most hilariously, Lauren Holt/Heidi Gardner's perfectly executed and normal cake gets completely overlooked by the judges who move on without comment. The sketch satirizes the absurd disasters that occur on reality baking competitions while adding an extra layer of comedy with the judges' bizarre reactions and the running gag of ignoring the one competent baker.
