Bake Squad (2021)
Super fake
This show could be fun to watch if they just presented it as bakers working with clients to create unique, custom desserts. Instead they pretend that everything is just thrown together on the spot. I'm sure the bakers knew the brief ahead of time. Not only did they always have the exact ingredients they need, custom molds and stencils, custom displays etc. The bakers keep claiming "I've never made anything like this before" yet the recipe turns out perfect and nobody runs out of time? Or they always find the exact thing they need to tie everything together at the last minute. Oh btw we just happened to find a perfect mold of the client's daughter's head just sitting around. This is like the mythical back room that certain customers believe all retailers have. I've watched enough baking shows to know that even experienced bakers have disasters when it comes to these types of challenges. Or even just something simple like the clock running out before they finish decorating that happens on every baking show but this one. I would like this show way better if they'd drop the fake competition/ racing against the clock element and just focus on the desserts. As is, the dialogue all feels so scripted and forced. Even the clients seem fake. I doubt anybody has an elegant, princess themed wedding with a horse drawn carriage, but leaves the cake up to chance. How stupid do you think your audience is? I found myself wanting to just fast forward to see the finished bakes.
