ATC Love to Chef Katzie Guy-Hamitlon

It was quite a surprise to see Chef Katzie Guy-Hamilton leave this week, considering she had won two Elimination Challenges in a row not all that long ago. But the judges had problems with her chocolate dessert - or did they listen to the rantings of another pastrycheftestant who wanted to see Katzie gone?

In any case, we're very sorry to see her go. But she's young, and has time to go far in the future. Best of luck to Katzie!

Congratulations, Chef Katzie Guy-Hamilton!

Chef Katzie is proving to be the one to beat with her second win in a row. Her inventive take on baked Alaska - a spumoni on a stick with a meringue toasted a la minute - was impressive and unique.



Great job, Chef! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations, Chef Katzie Guy-Hamilton!

Chef Katzie knew that it was important in this particular challenge to stick to one's guns and make impressive desserts. While her idea for a carrot patch and bee hive were pooh-poohed by others on the team, she plugged on, creating something that impressed the judges and the children alike. Her carrot cake pops, buried in "dirt," were especially whimsical and fun.


Great job, Chef! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations, Team Amanda!

Amanda, Carlos, Melissa, Katzie, Megan, and Chris - you did a fantastic job with your dessert table for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant party!  Your desserts and decor were impressively sophisticated, despite the rampant use of pink. ;)

Some of you are definitely looking like folks to beat. Will any of you make it to the top? We'll see!
