Anybody catch this new show?
I really enjoyed it! Duff is a personable guy and the staff were funny. They're even allowed to *bleep*. Andy |

I watched a little bit of it the other night, but it was very late and I had to get to bed. I did enjoy it though; they've got some very creative ideas. But do people really eat those fondant-heavy cakes..? -- "Kthonian" is Jani in WA ~ mom, Trollop, novice cook ~ |

I personally found the show interesting, but if this is all it's going to be I have to wonder how long they can sustain interest. It seems to be somewhat along the lines of Food Network's answer to things like "American Chopper" - but how many different cakes can you show being made before the audience starts to get bored out of their skulls, especially if the group involved isn't anywhere near the set of dysfunctional clowns you get with the Teutels & Co.?

Didn't realize he's from Baltimore, my home (well, close by, anyway). I wondered how much they had to edit, with the pressure of making so many complex cakes in one week....it looked surprisingly like the staff were very, very comfortable in front of the camera. The cakes were cool looking, but honestly, all that rolled fondant and gluey stuff...I'd really rather have a good tasting cake at the end of the day, and they didn't really touch on that. Sandy |

I don't know that I've ever really had all that fondant-ey stuff, so I
don't know about the taste, but some of those cakes that they made were amazing!! I'm not so sure about them using the Rice Krispies treats though....that's not really a CAKE to me! :P I really enjoyed the show - he seems like a really cool guy to work for. I will definitely watch again! ![]() ~Shelly |
