judging the others

Yesterday was a holiday. We were taking it easy, lounging in bed and watching TV later than we usually do. That's how we got to watch a show we hadn't seen in a while, even if it's one of our favorite, Cake Boss on TLC. We, and I can speak for myself and hubby here, are amazed at what this team of cake makers can do. We've learn so much from that show on techniques and materials. I have to go research chocolate fondant now as I didn't know it existed and they mentioned it last night.
But I have to admit, the final result is not always pretty. They put so much work into something that doesn't look good, in my opinion, in the end. Of course, everybody marvels at the result because the technique is flawless and there is an incredible amount of work and time involved in the process.
In the meanwhile, my husband and I are gaping at the TV, having a hard time believing the brides would love their cakes, keeping in mind that they were a complete surprise to them since these cakes are custom-made and they are only shown a sketch of the final result.
I'm too picky I guess.
