Cake Boss Next Great Baker

Cake Boss Next Great BakerCake Boss Next Great Baker, Thirteen contestants started in the second season of the Cake Boss spinoff show Next Great Baker. Suddenly we’re down to only ten.

Readers should note that there was no episode recap last week, because the writer of this column lost his cable service last Monday, because a certain huge telecommunications company screwed up his account. The cable service is back, but not contestant Tony, who was eliminated last week.?

Anyway, as last night’s new episode opens, Buddy has the contestants bake a chocolate dessert incorporating a Hershey’s candy assigned to them at random. Some of these candies, like Twizzlers, are unconventional for a chocolate dessert..

Buddy comes in to judge with his brother-in-law Joey. “We know our chocolate,” Joey says.

Carmelo got stuck with Twizzlers. Buddy doesn’t like his dish. “This is something I would spit out,” he says. But then he tastes Jasmine’s, which also has Twizzlers, and he loves it.

So Carmelo is in the doghouse, while Marissa wins the challenge and earns a year’s supply of Hershey candy.

Now it’s time for the elimination challenge. The bakers are split into three teams. Buddy takes them to New York, to the offices of Brides Magazine. All the women contestants are super excited, the guys are like whatever.
