Cupcake Wars

If you're looking for a mind-numbing TV show that you don't have to pay much attention to, this is it. It's perfect for background noise or to fall asleep to! It can be fun sometimes, but mostly it's nonsense. Literally the same thing every episode, just with a slightly different theme. They even invite the same contestants back again and again. Seriously, it's not so dull that you feel the need to change the channel, but not engaging enough to really care about what's going on. No hate, just stating facts. I actually like Justin Willman and listening to Florian say "banana" is one of my favorite things ever.

I really like the formula of the show. It is very well-designed, feels natural - even if the interactions between contestants and jurors feel nothing but.

I also really enjoy the themes and the creativity shown, it is very refreshing to have a different theme every episode, with different layers of said theme being explored every round.

Really wish it hasn't been cancelled, but alas the cupcake craze is over... Maybe a reboot with different trendy desserts could work?

It would be very interesting to see, let's say, a Crumbl cookie version of this show.

I guess the fun is having something so simple as a cupcake being pushed to the limit of the baker's creativity and skill - and still have it taste and look delicious.

Really good show, I like it very much!

This is a typical reality baking show where the contestants are given incredibly ridiculous time constraints and unrealistic quality expectations so they can be judged and kicked out when they fail. The weird part of this show is the shouting at each other announcing everything they are doing. "Chocolate cakes are going in the oven!" as they are showing the baker putting the cakes in the oven. They do this throughout the whole show with every little thing they are doing and it is very strange. The judges are pretty much jerks too. Especially the French guy that you can barely understand. Don't waste your time watching this show.

I enjoy looking at sinfully delicious desserts but its annoying to watch how these judges diminish the talent and creativity of these bakers. The judges aren't even likable. They're all pretentious snobs. Pass!
