If I Knew You Were Coming...

Last big challenge before the finals. I was expecting a challenge that really forces the last four chefs stretch their culinary muscles.


Not exactly pulling a Gumby here are they? The basic challenge is make a sixty first anniversary cake for Sylvia Weinstock and her husband, Ben. Right off the bat I have issues. You're having a big party, celebrating over sixty years of being with the one you love and you don't tell the baker what kind of cake you want? This could have been so much more fun if the couple had interviewed privately with each chef and told each of them different elements she wanted in the cake.

That would have been surprising. So was it any surprise we got some really weak cakes?

Morgan. This has got the be the most boring cake I've ever seen on tv. Talk about playing it safe.

Yigit. A little more complicated than Morgan's, I like the beach ball decorations however Yigit fails at executing some of the internal elements of his cake.

Danielle. Again, nothing fancy but I love that she took the chance on the gray frosting coloring. I know Sylvia didn't like it but really, did we expect someone that old school would like that color?

Zac. Well. If you're gonna go out, go out big.

Judge's Table is pretty much what you'd expect, Zac is rightly called out for this disaster of a cake but not before he and Morgan rip each other bloody. While Morgan may be happy that Zac is gone (but not entirely) he can take no comfort in winning the challenge. That happy development goes to Danielle and her battleship gray cake.

Jumping for Joy right out of the camera frame. Now that's a happy winner.
