"The entertainment side of cake decorating has steadily built momentum since it’s advent on Food Network Challenge. “Ace of Cakes” brought it to critical mass, making cake-decorating an activity that people talked about over water coolers and in waiting rooms."
"In the coming weeks, several new television shows will either air or begin production. Food Network, TLC, and We TV have all developed concepts that they hope will captivate the ever-growing audience for cake decorating. Here is a synopsis of the different projects that are on the horizon:
Food Network starts it all off with a super-sized challenge mini-series. For the first time, a small group of contestants will be run through the ringer of an elimination series. In “Food Network Challenge: Last Cake Standing,” six cake-decorators compete for a $50,000 grand prize.
Follow FNC all-stars Michelle Bommarito( she is very talented), Courtney Clark, Mary Maher( love her from http://www.cakegirls.com/), James Rosselle, Elisa Strauss( she is awesome from http://www.confetticakes.com/) , and Bronwen Weber( She is fierce...lol) through seven days of nearly continuous competition.
Four episodes, airing April 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2009, (8pm ET/PT) lead to the sole survivor.
“Viewers will be amazed, not just at the brilliant creations, but at the fierceness of the competition,” Said Bob Tuschman, senior vice president of programming and production. “Who knew cake decorating was an extreme sport?”
TLC- Set in an traditional Italian bakery in Hoboken, N.J., TLC’s “Cake Boss” airs its pilot episode on April 19, 2009, with a series launch scheduled for June. Capitalizing on a style often referred to as “Docu-Soap” the show chronicles owner Buddy Valastro’s cake creations, as well as life with the rest of his team—his mother, four older sisters, and three brothers-in-law. With Buddy’s larger-than-life personality and his cast of supporting characters, entertainment and drama are sure to follow.
WE TV- The first-ever WE TV Wedding Cake Competition will be hosted by the Great American Cake Show in Westminster, Md., May 2 and 3. The competition will feature 20 cake decorators creating their masterpieces on site for the network’s cameras. Potential competitors must submit applications to the network before April 12, including photos of yourself and your work.
For rules and applications visit www.greatamericancakeshow.com or email your name and phone number to cakeslive@gmail.com.
According to the network, “It doesn't matter if you are an amateur or a professional. To enter this competition, you just need two things: the passion for making stunning wedding cakes and the desire to be crowned WE TV’s Best Wedding Cake Maker.”
