Tonight, on MasterChef, the remaining contestants face another Mystery Box challenge. They'll have to create one incredible dish using the ingredients inside the box. Much to Tracy's delight, this will be a baking challenge and they'll have to make cupcakes! Mmm...
As is the case with Mystery Box challenges, only three of the dishes, based on presentation, will be tasted by the judges. However! There is a very big twist that even these contestants don't know about yet. The winner of this challenge will automatically advance to the
