Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

So, what did everyone think of The Next Great Baker? I was so excited to watch it and then I realized I missed it at 10 pm. I saw our member Jay Qualls in the commercial, so I'm really dying to find out when the first episode is airing again.

What I wonder about is: They have all those ovens to use - the largest cakes would take what? an hour? Which means they had at least an hour and a half to mix up and pour the cakes, an hour to bake, a half hour to cool then they could wrap and cool them in the fridge.  How long does it take to mix cake batter?  Especially in those big ol' mixers?  And I could see that there wasn't one large mixer per person, but even if you had to do several smaller batches in the smaller mixers, it shouldn't take an hour and a half!! O.k. - I'm done ranting. LOL. (I also have an issue with her voice - but I don't want to get personal)

The box truck at the end is a little cheesy but over all I liked the show.  Eileen, I"m with you on the gal who left her cakes in the oven over night.  Seriously?!  Who does that?  She should have been sent home right then and there.

thats too funny! her voice was totally grating on my nerves too....i guess i am not the only one!

My hubby was in the next room and said "Is The Nanny on that show??"  LOL  I think she sounds like Chandler's girlfriend Janice from "Friends".

Great show...i enjoyed watching the first episode.  I agree with another user's comments on here...the van bit at the end was very cheesy!!

Excited to watch part 2 today....

 

What I like about this show is to see how people think through their cake projects and what dos and donts there are!

Okay, so I finally got to watch the first episode when it aired before the second yesterday.  Was the show more interested in entertaining personalities than in talent?

I thought that too, Theresa.  I'm wondering about the conditions there.  The only thing I can think is that it MUST be really hot in that kitchen.  I've never seen fondant and buttercream melt so fast (the corner of the Monopoly cake caving in like that?? I KNOW they know to at least support their edges!) 

 

Was so glad to see how well Jay did!! GO JAY!! :)

I agree that they must have went on personality than skills. I was suprised at the skill level & the truck bit is ridiculous. I would say no thank you and catch a cab. Also, I don't agree with his sister being sucha a loud mouth judge. She doesn't decorate cake, she sells it. Understandably she see's and has been around cake for probably her whole life, but still....They would have t bring out the censor button for me on there if she got mouthy about my cake. LOL.



Also...GO JAY!!!! You're kicking butt!

Yay for Jay!!  Great job!  I can only imagine what it's like to be in a room with so many crazy people screaming at each other.  Congratulations an keeping your sanity while all that was going on and Congratulations for your contribution to the winning cake!!

All i can say is  I love the show , Its funny and Interesting,  but I Definatly think the wrong person went home yesturday, i think corina should have gone home and from the preview for next week seems corina does the same type thing to pam, llike she did to whats his name, , My lord the girls got issues LOL 

I have to agree with you there.  Joe should have stayed.  Corina wasn't going to listen to anyone and she kinda took over from the beginning not leaving any room for anyone else's ideas.   And that other girl... poor thing just didn't know what to think of all of it.

@Kathy Kmonk

True, LOL when she said she wasnt used to all that anger ,how ever she put it ,when she was explaining how  corina and joe were together, , buddy is right,  all of the valastro family have tendancys of getting pretty heated disscusions, LOL she would have to get used to it,   I am sure  in a bakery  weather being family bakery or not,  theres going to be some heated discussions at times, and people have to learn how to cope with that kind  of thing  LOL , Just my opinion
