About this deal
But many of the cakes in Beranbaum’s book don’t tempt me, and none of those in Healy and Bugat’s do. Namely, the classic French bakery cakes. If you enjoy Crime Scene Kitchen, then be sure to tune in each week, starting at 8 pm EST, where we will see some mysterious treats being made by some of America’s best bakers! In many ways, that knowledge helped them not just solve the clues, but also execute the dessert. Given that the various challenges had limited time, the baking team could start on certain tasks while they finalized their plan. Natalie shared how “we could get a few things done while we figured out what we didn’t know. That was a huge advantage for us because we could multitask and save a lot of time.”
Unfortunately, Emma and Leslie and Lorie and Jason mis-read the chocolate clue. Making chocolate puff pastry was the wrong choice.Luis shared “we went into the finale knowing that they had to have some technique heavy dessert.” He went onto say, “if you make puff pastry, the old-fashioned way, it takes a whole day or even like two days to like really have like a really perfect puff pastry.” I bought this thing to wrap around my cake pans so the layers would bake up with a flatter surface, though I’ve hardly ever used it.
This week, The Merge happened, so we, for the very first time, saw both the self-taught bakers and the professional bakers baking all at once at a chance for the grand prize! Successful contestants, what set them apart from those who struggled a little bit more with the clues? In a twist, the dessert round did not come with an extra clue for the showpiece challenge. Instead, the least successful baking team will be sent home. To say that this extra ingredient raised the temperature in the kitchen is an understatement.
For him, based on the clues, he admitted that he never would have made a wreath. “It wasn’t a traditional dessert we learned in school and the flavors weren’t traditional for a wreath either.” Yes, and they definitely learned as they went on in the show. So the first time in the Crime Scene Kitchen, I think they were just sort of gathering all the information they could. Right. And they didn't pay attention to, was it closed? Maybe where was it placed? Was it next to something else? They didn't pay as much attention to that. And they certainly learned to pay better attention.
