Food Network Challenge- Pixar Cakes
I love the Food Network channel. I love watching the Food Network Challenges. This week I saw one of the challenges, it was called challenge Pixar cakes. This is where the chefs had to design a cake based on a Pixar movie such as Toy Story, A Bug’s life, Finding Nemo etc. The judges are brutal and make comments on camera about the progress of the chefs. The chefs each get a sous chef, and that is it. It is very hard to decorate a cake in my opinion. I mean the ones at the grocery store are fine, but these cakes are usually three dimensional. One of the competitors had his eye cake be destroyed. It was really a good looking cake but it came tumbling down so he had no chance of winning. One thing that I do not like is the fact that the chef and the sous chef get no help moving the cake. The cakes can get very heavy and wobbly and it seems very unfair that they do not get additional help to move the cake to the display table. The winner deserved to win, but they eye cake was really great until it collapsed.
