Episode 5 of Super Mega Cakes, titled “Classic Cartoons,” brings the nostalgia, chaos, and color of Saturday morning to the kitchen as two teams transform beloved animated icons into epic cake creations. This week, Duff Goldman takes on cake master Lincoln Alexander, joined by Lucky Anderson and Kim Adams, in a challenge packed with gravity-defying effects and cartoon-inspired madness. Judging the fun is the usual powerhouse panel of Amaury Guichon and Sherry Yard, with a special appearance by Eric Bauza—the current voice of Bugs Bunny himself.
Duff and his team go all-in on a classic moment from the Looney Tunes universe, recreating Toro the Bull and Bugs Bunny in cake form. The energy and movement in the design are undeniable, with Duff’s team capturing the larger-than-life personality of the scene. From the bold colors to the exaggerated expressions, every detail hits just right. The gravity-defying effects, especially around the bull’s posture and Bugs’ mischievous stance, gave it that classic Warner Bros. slapstick energy. It was a crowd-pleaser with expert-level sculpting.
But Team Lincoln wasn’t about to let Duff take the win uncontested. Their cake channeled the wild antics of Tom and Jerry, placing the duo mid-chase in a vintage TV set scene. One of the most impressive elements? Tom hanging from a ceiling fan, suspended mid-air as he reaches desperately for Jerry. The broken TV screen effect was a brilliant touch that sold the chaos and humor of the moment. It perfectly captured the retro vibe and madcap energy of the cartoon, while also showing off top-tier cake artistry.
Both teams went big—and animated—in their own unique way, making it a tough decision for the judges. In the end, it was a cartoon cake battle filled with heart, humor, and jaw-dropping visuals. No matter which cake you preferred, Episode 5 was a deliciously fun trip down memory lane.
