I Can Do This All Day

[tubbs29]

Saturday work was fairly better. I went in from 6 to close again, which is fine with me, and I'll be doing the same this coming week. Last time, I helped prep, but then just stood to the side and watched. This time, I prepped a bit in the very beginning, but Alison was there expediting and asked Steve to have Braulio teach me dessert plate-ups

Nice. I think I saw the commercial for that, but missed the show. What they do with cakes -- and also those chocolate and sugar displays -- are effing amazing!

[el_tee]

which choc. and sugar displays?

basically it starts by announcing the theme (it was celebration cakes) and making teams of 2 then they have 30 min. to plan a cake and then 8 hours straight to create it (there's a live audience)
they round robin for the first 6 hours unable to speak to one another and work together in the final hour

the contest seemed to have no practical application but it was still interesting to see the cakes anyway

I just meant in general. I've seen random contests on TV every now and then, where they have to make like a 5-foot tall sculpture entirely out of chocolate, then another one completely out of spun, colored sugar that looks like stained glass.

That contest seems pretty wicked, though. I don't quite get the round robin part, but it seems like they're doing everything to make it as difficult as possible.
