I have really enjoyed watching “The Ultimate Cake Off” on TLC. What can I say? I’m always a sucker for watching people build cakes really really fast. Then they have to move them, so there’s always the chance that it might fall down. That’s just plain cool.

This is a little bit different from food network competitions. They have what is called a skills test. Whoever wins the skills test gets to choose another team to sit out of the competition for half an hour. This happens twice. It always amazes me that the competitors haven’t caught on, even though this is the second season. The old Southern ladies always seemed to trash talk and then they are so surprised when they get chosen to sit out. You need to be as warm and friendly as a heated blanket in this situation. If your competitors have the means to possibly hurt you why aren’t you at least nice to them?
