- 7:23The first judging begins, with Michael offering a taste test alongside his cake art.

- 17:14Spider-Man and Batman supply the superhero themes for another timed decorating round.
Michael tries offering the judge a taste of his cake, but she won't let flavor distract her. "Well, it's delicious, but it's not about taste. It's about art," she tells him.
That distinction sets the rules for "CAKE ART Challange!", today's new upload on Vlad. Michael and Rocco take on the decorating duties, with roughly 224,000 views arriving in its first three hours.
Their opening brief is a favorite cartoon character: Michael chooses Pikachu, while Rocco goes for SpongeBob SquarePants. Airbrushes, piping bags, fondant and candy turn the blank cakes into edible portraits. The challenge is less about baking than making frosting recognizable under a ticking clock.
Then they have to decorate each other's faces. Marshmallows and ice cream cones become sculpting materials, with piped hair and plenty of teasing over the likenesses. Michael eventually pushes real glasses into the frosting portrait of Rocco, who responds by smashing it.
The superhero round brings another pair of familiar faces: Spider-Man for Rocco and Batman for Michael. Each gets a five-minute decorating window, with an expert judge rather than an appetite deciding which artwork deserves the point.
