The decision made no sense to me, however. The other team's display was awful, and no one could taste the chili in their tasting element. And yet, they were saved and the team with the fabulous tasting element was tossed out.
Oh don't even get me started...
If anyone didn't think Nancy's opinion carried more weight than the other judges', this episode should have cleared that up, once Jesse said, "You know, Nancy hates cranberry...."
Yep, I said the same thing this time, and I've noticed it before. How is it possible that they never manage to capture any of them on camera?
Yep, I saw him as well. I thought I also saw Briea, but the shot was so quick, I wasn't sure.
There are several faces that look familiar in this year's crop of bakers. I know Steve Levitt from The Great Canadian Baking Show (he was a baketestant last year) but does anyone recognize anyone else?
It's interesting to me that baking shows on the Food Network emphasize texture in cakes -- every bake has to have some sort of crunch layer and potentially a curd or jelly or ganache. Many of us who frequent the boards for those shows say that we've never even had cakes like that. So The Great Canadian Baking Show is a relief of sorts, to not have to hear the constant harping on texture. To my mind, a good cake's texture comes from the quality of the crumb, not the number of different flavors/textures you can stuff into it.
