Wayne Steinkopf and Chuck Hamilton, from Swank Cake Design, appeared on the new TLC competition series ULTIMATE CAKE OFF in an episode which aired in February.
In the episode, the Blue team, lead by Wayne, faced off against two other teams in a challenge to create an edible masterpiece in hopes of winning $10,000 and to have their cakes featured at a marquee event. For this episode, the cake was in competition to be featured at the 2009 AKC Agility Invitational.

With only nine hours, the competitors must make cakes that are at least five feet tall and are creative enough to win the taste of the client and the ultimate prize. To add to the pressure, the contestants also face two mini-challenges – a skills test and a taste test – that could give one team the ultimate advantage: being able to sit out another team for 30 minutes.
Chef, author, and entertainer George Duran hosts the series, which airs Mondays at 10p on TLC. Joining George are judges Margaret Braun, an acclaimed sugar artist based in New York, and Leigh Grode, owner of Los Angeles’ Cake Divas bakery. |
