LOL -- also, the winning cake is not served at the event. They serve sheetcakes from somewhere. That would have been helpful to know before we went! |

Rebecca, you're fabulous and so talented--LOVED your cake! I hope you'll go back and do another challenge!!!
Sharon, I think they gave you the most airtime of any assistant so far--you are a riot! In past episodes we hardly could even see who the assistants are! But they made you front and center with all of your wonderful personality--You definately need to go back and do another show as the lead person!!! Pleeeeeeease?
Great show--congrats ladies! |

So, I missed the episode last night, and I really want to see it. Does anyone know if there is a way to watch it now that it has already aired? |

You can go to tlc.com and under the tab 'tv shows' click on 'UCO' link and then clock on the 'tv schedule' -- but it looks like to me this episodes last showing was this morning at 2:00 a.m. Other than that I'm not sure how you can view it. |

I thought the same thing...that we wouldn't get to see much of Sharon because she was an assistant, but she got the most airtime of any assistant I've seen yet. It's that mouth of yours Sharon....you are too funny!  |

I thought they said it was granulated sugar... but I could be wrong. |

the vanilla bean paste is Nielsen Massey and can be found on several websites (King Arthur, Williams Sonoma are two off the top of my head) and many small kitchen specialty stores have it, call around so you can buy local if you like. Also sold on many internet sites.
If I'm not mistaken, Norm used a sanding sugar- it's much larger crystals than granulated sugar and gives a very pretty "sparkly" look. |

Thanks for the info, Looks like I just missed it  Guess I'll I'll have to watch for a re-run. I was to bus making last minute cupcakes for work, and didn't even realize I had missed it. |

So, Sharon....I was wondering...
you guys MUST be told in advance what the theme for the cake is, right? Otherwise, how on earth would you have all the right equipment?
How far in advance to you get to start preparing?

I am not sure if we are allowed to talk about that stuff; we signed contracts; I will see if Rebecca can answer this. |

Congrats Ladies on an amazing cake! and for making this one of the best ones yet, IMO
I loved all the trash talking between the 2 teams. Not only was it funny, but it was nice knowing it was all in good fun.
I have to agree with the other posters also, Sharon was hoot and she did get the most airtime of any assistant I've seen yet. I also heard her before I saw her Everyone on that team was GREAT!
I also enjoy seeing Norm (his cake was beautiful also) hopping on the trash talking wagon and going with the flow. Now I did get a little upset with him for setting them out the second time...hearing him say he was scare of them, was priceless and that did help me not to get to mad In the end I'll forgive him for the two time outs and I still will love Norm and his caking skills 
I did like Mark's cake also, it was a beautiful cake...but sure if I would like the idea for a wedding cake. Unless that was the theme of the wedding. Still it was very beautiful cake and I just love the way he had did his support.
I would also like to see you all do another cake off, due to...you guys working so good together, making a amazing cake, being so funny and also fun to watch! It was very nice to see you guys laugh and have a fun time while doing something that could be so stressfull.
All the teams were wonderful to watch and they all have awesome caking skills, I would be tickel just to have 1/8 of their cake decorating skills.
God Bless,
Sharon |
