Yes, its custard week!
(That is French for yogurt in a tall glass.)
Weve seen these before as a technical challenge way back in season two.
My lover Sandro put both brandyandprosecco in his dessert.
What, did he not want what was left over from the signature to go to waste?
Truly genius, and the judges seem to love it.
She wanted her islands to look like actual islands, but who wants anything resembling sand in their desserts?
The judges love the taste, though, so I guess we shall forgive her.
Sandro was not only first but also best.
The showstopper is the kind of classic challenge that I love.
Its really just a cake with custard in between the layers.
The only person who fell victim to a cake falling to shit was Kevin.
Between his layers of pastry are a chocolate-and-vanilla custard filled with raspberries and other fruits.
The top looks especially amazing, with berries resting in sloped stripes amid rows of powdered sugar.
The judges are all impressed.
Both Prue and Paul agree there is not enough custard, though.
Janusz had a very interesting idea to make a Neopolitan cake.
(That is Italian for three-colored ice cream invented by Americans.)
There are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry layers, but apparently all of the custard is like glue.
I think what Paul was really mad about was seeing Januszs third drip cake in so many weeks.
Prue cant stop praising how much custard there is in the cake, and its still perfectly set.
Paul even shows off the cakes structure by shaking it.
Sorry, Mr. Theroux, but it jiggle jiggles.
Her only possible contender is Sandro, whose three-tiered masterpiece has each layer crowned with gorgeous lilac buttercream rosettes.
(Matt even took some time to help him decorate.
Ever notice how much time Matt spends lingering around Sandros bench?
Theres another layer too, but who can even remember?
Wonder who might be packing it in next week?
