Cake Wars

While this was a fun episode to watch, someone should have pointed out that the team in Space Jam was the Toon Team not the Tune Team. One competitor spelled it wrong on every cake and it was frustrating that no one caught it.

I love this show almost as much as I love Cupcake Wars. (I sure wish Food Network would bring it back!) Waylynn and Richard are not enjoyable judges to watch or listen to. I'm sure Waylynn is a nice person and doesn't intend to come off the way she does but it is painful to watch her judge. She is often so discouraging and critical. I am sitting here watching a rerun of an episode. Waylynn just told a contestant that their cake "is just as unappealing and unappetizing on the inside and it is on the outside." Wow - It isn't fun to watch someone get crushed. Richard Ruskell comes off as a complete jerk. It's hard to enjoy the show when I spend a major portion of it feeling sorry for the contestants. The host is annoying. He tries to hard to be goofy and quirky but it is too forced and the judges don't "play along". It's so awkward. If he would just be cheerful it would be a thousand times better. -- Cake Wars should take its cues from Sugar Rush. Candace Nelson is a perfect judge. So kind and encouraging even when she has to give negative comments. The host is fun but not overly so. He's friendly and has a good rapport with the judges.

FOOD NETWORK - Please listen to the reviews! We've been telling you for years. Get kinder judges and tell Justin to tone it down or get a someone else.

The judges have become extremely rude and it makes watching the show less appealing. I don't feel there's any reason to be so rude criticizing and nasty to anyone. Neither of the judges would like to be spoken to in the manner they speak to the contestants. They both should be ashamed of themselves. Further more I really hope both of the judges get to experience the criticism they dish out perhaps they will recognize how yucky it feels to have anyone speak to you so poorly. Shame on the judges for their poor judging skills and targeting of some contestants. The judges rude condescending attitude and words ruin the show!!!

The idea for the show is awesome, I love the baking and cake competition shows. However, these judges are jerks. They only have negetive things to say, I'm always shocked when they have a positive comment. The walk around making people feel bad about their work in the middle of everything, and then tear them down at the end. It's awful, not supportive, soul crushing judging.

As a cake maker I'd like to defend those who have participated in the war. The time given to complete the challenge is not enough and for the judges to expect a squeaky clean pristine piece is ridiculous to say the least! I'd love to see Food Network put the judges at "war" under the same restrictions given and have the real cake makers critique their work! I bet they'd FAIL to produce the product they expect from participants not to mention people would see their lack of performance and skill. We see Buddy and Duff showcase their talents all the time. When will we see the talents that the judges have? To me its not enough to say they are skilled. SHOW US!! Anyone can own a bakery and hire to get the work done. I've watched this show since the beginning and would love to see the tasks allowed more time to show the artists they really are.
