Major Nelson will join other judges Waylynn Lucas and Ron Ben-Israel for what is expected to be a very interesting show:
In the episode, four awesome bakers face off to create cakes based on the Halo universe, with the winning contestant earning $10,000 and a trip for them and their cake to the Halo World Championship finals that took place this past March.
