The stakes have never been higher in the season finale of MasterChef: Junior Edition.

With their families and past contestants in the crowd to cheer them on, the two chefs create an entree and dessert that best represent themselves. The chefs face off in two 60-minute challenges to prove they are a MasterChef.
