I just caught the re-run of the engagement cake challenge. I can't believe that guy won - AGAIN. Especially since he doesn't listen to one thing the client wants... |

He won another competition the same way, with flowers he made before he ever met the clients. I agree they're gorgeous, but it's like he made what he felt like not what they wanted. |

I actually love the guy who won. I think he may want to listen to the clients more though. I think that he is very talented, but young and you know how we young people can be. We sometimes do not listen, but with time he will learn the skill of listening. I know I have been guilty of not listening in the past. So when I saw him on tv, I was a bit scared for him. Nevertheless all the cakes were spectacular. I wish I could figure out how the pink one with the gold rings and the spinning tiers was made. Can someone tell me???
Pleasseee. |

If you noticed from his interview, he said he was was trying to draw them into the vision HE had for the cake. I think even if they told him they where big gothic fans and wanted a black cake , it would have been the same cake in black.
Didn't you just want to cry when the other team agreed to help out Marina's team? That was so sweet. And the cake turned out really good despite of. |

It was not just looks or design, they tasted the cakes also .. so it was looks and taste.. I think those guys are Gay, all the guys that were there. Nothing wrong there as a Pastry Chef, just something to consider if you have a crush on them..   I think that Pink and Black one was too loud. Too bad Marina Souza fainted.. |

I find it funny that he won both competitions with cakes that were not anything like what the clients asked for and with the 16th b-day cake it was not even the color scheme that she wanted. It just goes to show how stunning his flowers are that the clients changed what they wanted and visioned for their cake when they saw those. His flowers are really beautiful.
BTW, I loved how those guys showed such great sportsmanship. It was truly the best moment of the competition and even the judges praised them which I think was wonderful. |

I think the fact that he continues to win is going to do away with this type of cake competition.
What's the point in the "surprise client", when the decorator doesn't actually do what the client wants but wins anyway? I think the fact that he won (TWICE!) is a slap in the face to those who actually followed the "rules" and designed a cake around the clients wants/tastes.
To come into a competition where a major part of it is having to design the cake on the fly - already prepared with a design and half your design elements is completely disingenuous. What do you think is going to happen with the next such competition? ALL the decorators are going to come already prepared... |

I totally agree with you BrandisBaked! I thought the same thing when they did the ultimate wedding cake challenge and Buddy Valastro gave them his prepared design. It was totally NOT in the spirit of the competition, and a bit arrogant I thought- even if the design was great or not so great. |
