As the season hits the halfway point, Buddy vs Duff Season 3 episode 4 takes on a new challenge. While food feasts might be on the table, will this bounty of deliciousness change the point total dramatically?

According to the Food Network, Buddy vs Duff Season 3 episode 4 “First We Feast” features the following:

"For this round of competition, Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman create enticing cake versions of food feasts. Duff’s team makes a realistic farmers market while Buddy and his team create a towering monument of sweet treats. Then 50 esteemed cake artists choose the winner."

Looking the episode synopsis, it seems that the teams are going back to their strengths. Based on preview videos, Buddy’s cake is going to be huge. While that image can be impressive, it might need to be more than just a big cupcake. As Duff said, he doesn’t want to be beat by big food.

Although Duff made a slight comeback with his lowrider in the last episode, his team’s strength lies on little details. This idea of a bountiful farmer’s market plays into their strengths. All those little elements can stand taller than the most gigantic donut.

One question that remains unanswered is whether or not the panel of judges are the same week after week. In previous seasons, the teams could adapt to the judges’ feedback. With 50 cake artists on the panel, it is hard to determine how to make changes and earn more points.

While there have been a few comments about listening to feedback, it is difficult to determine whether those changes impacted the judging scores. In the end, it comes down to executing the best possible cake display in the time given.

Which team will feast and which one will be left wanting more? Here’s how to watch Buddy vs Duff Season 3 episode 4, “First We Feast.”
