BLT CAKE
Graysen Pinder has been baking cakes with her mom almost every week since she was just 3 years old. And in the spirit of true Southern hospitality, the duo have always shared their sweets with neighbors in Wilmington, NC. The 14-year-old loves baking for others so much, she even started her own catering company, Gimme Some Sugga - an experience that she thinks helped her clinch the Kids Baking Championship title. "The fact that people are willing to pay for the desserts I make gave me confidence and let me know that you don't have to be a certain age to do what you love," she says. Food Network Magazine asked Graysen to walk them through one of her winning creations on the show: this fun fake-out BLT, which she made for one of the "dessert imposters" episodes. It turns out she had an edge for this particular "Sammy Whammy" challenge: Her parents own a sandwich shop! Here's how to make a simpler version of her clever creation at home.

Steps:
- Make the bread: Cut 1 pound cake into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices, then halve each slice on the diagonal. Mix 2 teaspoons almond extract with 1/8 teaspoon brown gel food coloring; brush lines on the pound cake with a food-safe paintbrush or press on with a wooden skewer.
- Make the tomatoes: Heat 1 cup each sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Add 2 cups thinly sliced strawberries; let soak, turning occasionally, 5 minutes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Let cool.
- Make the mayonnaise: Whisk 3 egg whites and 1 cup sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan; beat with a mixer on high speed until stiff and glossy, 5 minutes. Beat in 2 sticks softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Make the lettuce: Melt 1 cup each light green and dark green candy melts and 1/4 cup white candy melts in the microwave in separate bowls. Pour over a crumpled piece of parchment on a baking sheet; swirl the colors with a toothpick. Let set, then break into pieces.
- Make the bacon: Roll out 2 ounces each pink, white and brown fondant into three 10-inch logs; twist together. Roll out the log into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a cornstarch-dusted surface. Fold in half and reroll. Cut into twelve 1-inch-thick strips, then shape into wavy strips of bacon and let dry.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch-square, 2 1/2-inch-deep cake pan with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; pour into the pan and bake about 35 minutes. Let cool, then remove from the pan and freeze 30 minutes.
- Trim the domed top of the cake with a serrated knife. Mark one-third and two-thirds of the way down the sides of the cake with toothpicks. Slice the cake into 3 thin, even layers using the toothpicks as a guide.
- Make the lettuce: Put the coconut in a zip-top bag and add 1/2 teaspoon water and 10 drops each of green and yellow food coloring; shake the bag to mix. Add more food coloring as needed to make a lettuce color.
- Make the tomatoes: Trim the straight edges of the gummy fruit slices with a paring knife to remove the sugary coating.
- Make the bacon: Line up 10 cherry, 4 vanilla and 6 original Tootsie Rolls on a microwave-safe plate lined with wax paper, as shown.
- Microwave the Tootsie Rolls until just soft but not melted, about 7 seconds. Press them together, then roll and stretch into a long thin strip.
- Cut the strip into 4-inch pieces, then mold each piece into a wavy bacon shape with your fingers. Repeat to make another batch of bacon.
- Spread the frosting on the bottom and middle cake layers; top with the coconut. (Leave the third layer unfrosted.) One at a time, cut all 3 cake layers diagonally into quarters.
- Top the bottom cake quarters with some candy tomatoes and bacon. Add the middle cake quarters, then more candy. Top with the unfrosted cake quarters. Skewer with long toothpicks.
