Once we got through the first round, it all went smoothly. I thought it was going to be my fault that we got kicked off, but we weren’t the worst. When we baked them, they didn’t bake properly and that was super stressful. So, I had a little trouble getting it mixed and whatnot. Once the time started, you kind of just lose all sense of what you’re supposed to do. The first round I was in charge of mixing and baking cupcakes. Since we are hikers and always out in the woods and super outdoorsy, we decided to do a three-tiered magical forest with candy pieces and a chocolate waterfall and mushrooms and everything had to be made out of chocolate.ĭT: What was the biggest challenge competing on the show? , we had to make a cake that was our interpretation of a chocolate fantasy land. The second round, we had to use blonde chocolate or ruby chocolate, so we used both and we made a ruby chocolate Greek frozen yogurt and a blonde chocolate ganache to pour over the top, which the judges loved and we won best dessert that round. VJ: For the cupcakes, we did a chocolate cupcake with blackberry sage compote in the center and a chocolate whipped cream cheese icing on top with a blackberry and gold leaf on it.
