Holiday Baking Championship Winner Season 10

Monday night at 8pm ET on Food Network is the two-hour season ten finale of Holiday Baking Championship where the winning baker will take home $25,000.  This season there are five remaining contestants in the final episode.  The five remaining contestants competing for the prize are: Ashley Landerman (bakery owner), Kevin Conniff (pastry chef instructor), Justine Rota (bakery owner), Sharrod Mangum (pastry chef), and Thoa Nguyen (bakery owner).  One of the contestants will be eliminated during the first hour of the episode and the final four will compete during the second hour for the $25,000 prize.

The episode description for the final episode states, "It's the season finale, and the last five bakers face three challenges. Christmas Eve is filled with so much excitement and so many gifts, and the sweetest gift of all is a plate of cookies for Santa. For the final preheat, host Jesse Palmer wants the bakers to upgrade those cookies by making macaron wreaths for judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller! The bottom two bakers battle it out to see who makes it to the final main heat by taking on a stocking-stuffed eclairs challenge. Then, its “All aboard!” as the remaining four bakers make showstopping, championship-worthy holiday train cakes with actual trains running through them! In the end, a Holiday Baking Champion is crowned and takes home $25,000!"

Pictures of the final cakes have been posted on the Food Network Facebook page, but we do not know who made which cake and which one was the winning cake. I will update this post with the winner of Holiday Baking Championship season 10 after the episode airs and feel free to discuss this season in the comments.
