Italian chef Paolo Gatto then brings some traditional Sicilian cuisine to the kitchen, with his giant brioche stuffed with homemade gelato. Elise is then joined by old friend and fellow YouTuber, Nick Makrides, who draws on his Greek heritage to create some delicious cupcakes topped with loukoumades (Greek donuts). The episode is brought to a close in style with guest Joey El-Issa of the Sydney-based Bearded Bakers. Together, Joey and Elise make some of the Bearded Bakers' famous knafeh, with Elise desperately trying to figure out the recipe's top-secret ingredient!
