I watched tonight, and was disappointed. My vote would have gone to Mike's Amazing Cakes. Although I think Collete is talented, there are thousands of decorators that can do whimsy cakes, did not think hers was real original. I believes Mikes talent far surpasses hers. Oh well... I guess talent is in the eye of the beholder.
I don't always agree with the winner of these challenges either. The problem is that they don't just judge the cake based on aesthetics and level of difficulty, they also judge the person's work area and deduct or add points depending on how clean and organized they are. There is also interpretation of theme and I am sure there are many other X-factors that come into play. I would love to see a copy of the score sheets for these challenges.
Uh, let's see......The matador was holding a cake because THIS IS A CAKE COMPETITION!!!!!! (that was directed at the judges)
I was confused throughout the entire competition because I was having DeJaVu. I know I had seen the cakes, and I couldn't figure out if it was a new show or old.
I think someone here on CC may have attended the taping and submitted pics, or something. And I thought that Mike won. I went to sleep before the show ended because I thought I knew the ending! I don't know if it's my dejavu or what, but I swear I've seen that exact cake (or very similar) in a book from Collette but without the fish and fishing pole. Am I crazy?
Duff cracks me up!. He always spends a lot of time on all the power tool and metal stuff that half the time doesn't end up working. But I love him because he's such a GUY!
I watched too, and I have to stick my head out and say I wasn't disappointed, I did also like Mikes cake too... I was torn.... but I must say Colette seemed very surprised too....
I also have to admit, I went online to see who won before I watched it... its bad I know I just hate surprises....
I felt so bad for Duff and yes sir he cracks me up too!
