Holiday Baking Championship Winner Crowned Tonight

Tonight at 9pm ET on Food Network is the two-hour season seven finale of Holiday Baking Championship where the winning baker will take home $25,000.  The four remaining contestants competing for the prize are Lorenzo Delgado, Julianna Jung, Eva Roberts and Megan Rountree.  

The episode description for tonight states, "Dressed as a Christmas tree, host Jesse Palmer kicks things off by asking the final four competitors to honor the holiday tree in the form of a beautifully decorated macaron tower. In the Christmas past, present and future main heat, the bakers must feature an assigned icing style in a stunning cake that evokes their assigned time period -- marzipan from the past, buttercream from the present or mirror glaze from the future. In the end, judges Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman and Carla Hall will decide the one baker who will be crowned Holiday Baking Champion and walk away $25,000 richer!"

I will update this post with the winner after the episode airs and feel free to discuss this season in the comments.
