[quote=Anonymous]I think they need to reconceive the “showstopper” challenge. I always enjoy the signature and the technical, which I think are well designed to allow the bakers to show off what they are best at and attempt difficult technical baking skills. But I agree that the showstopper is just about food aesthetics and they rarely look like they taste good or are ver well thought out.

I think the showstopper should always be either:

(1) a single item that is a complex example of the week’s theme, like a tired wedding cake for cake week or a layered bombe for dessert week, OR
(2) 3-5 examples of the category, like cookies/biscuits or bread, with a uniting theme and a challenge to make the presentation very beautiful

Instead they will ask them for food sculptures with engineering elements, or ask them to make like 8 different things, and it’s always a giant mess. It shouldn’t be easy but the challenge should come from making very good examples of the weekly theme, not making a million of them in an hour or trying to put them in the shape of an important person from their past or whatever.[/quote]
