Das Gelbe vom Ei

Nicole and Jacques are a well paired and hilarious duo. Omg I've been binge watching this and I'm in tears laughing at their interplay and reactions to the creations of the contestants on the show. A must watch especially if you like baking cook offs, comedy, French men...

This show is great. Although the tasks are difficult, everyone is light hearted and silly. The participants have ups and downs but they put their best foot forward and don't give up.

The hosts are good at poking fun instead of criticizing the participants. The structure of the show is great and the second round buttons for getting help or messing with your competition keeps it good natured. There are tips to learn but that is not the point.

The guest judges are all great and the regular judges never disappoint.

Funny to watch with friends, pretty good for what it is - don't watch when hungry though!

I've seen a lot of negative reviews of this based on complaints about the host, but I personally love her. In the world of straight-laced cooking shows, the host comes off as spunky and silly and perfectly in tune with the pastel backgrounds. She can be a bit over-the-top at times, but for the most part I find her really enjoyable, and she's an excellent foil to the more serious French chef. The more-advanced baking tips are pretty neat and make me want to try some of these highly-advanced sculpture cakes myself. The cooks who fail are hilarious, the cooks who nail are inspiring, and the judges try to keep things very positive for the most part. An uplifting, cheery, goofy show for anyone who likes baking or cooking.

I am a terrible baker so this show really resonates with me. I also love things that are so bad they're good, and that's exactly what a lot of the baking attempts by the contestants are. I'm fairly sure I couldn't do a better job, so credit to them all for having a go.

I love the host. She's warm, loud and joyful. She'll laugh at disaster cakes without being cruel. She seems like the kind of person I'd want in my life as a friend.

This show is dumb fun, and since I'm writing this during a COVID-imposed lockdown it's just the sweet dessert I need to stay happy and sane.
