Harrods

                                                                                                                                                                                   
Omnia Omnibus Ubique ( All things For all People)




                   Harrods founded in 1834



 In our London tour, Sugar Babes visit the World famous Harrods Food Hall. It turned out to be-without a doubt-one of the best food experiences yet! There is a fresh and vibrant feel from the moment you enter. The food is just as amazing as the fashion stores. It is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London. If you are taking a tube, you get off at Knights bridge. Be sure to arrive with loads of money, the prices match the high standard of food and clothing. Harrods is a must, if you love food and fashion.

MASTERCHEF USA

Episode 10




The Blue team loses as contestants battle it out in Gordan Ramsay's Los Angeles West End Restaurant. With only 6minutes on the clock, Esther, who I believe should have left a while ago, disappoints her team as she cant pull it together to make her dessert. They pull together a fruit salad in a cupcake cup with cream on top-which could make you forget that you are watching MASTER chef. This week was one of the most difficult pressure tests to date as they had to make a six layered cake. Once again Christine looses it in the kitchen in the pressure test. Her tantrums could possibly turn out to be a good strategy for her, as she makes it another week. In-experienced Tracey, manages to make it through, but Esther falls flat and was eliminated.

Top 13 Compete




The mystery box challenge set, previously down-falled Jennifer, at the top of the group with her vegetable terrine with eggplant wrap and tomato sauce dish. Contestants had to make a vegetable dish. Adrienne and Alejandra were in the top 3. Christiane had the worst dish, and had no problem letting the judges know his contrary beliefs to their thoughts, which left everyone in shock. In the second challenge the top 13 had to imitate a crispy cat fish dish of  last year's winner, Whitney Miller. Alejandra and Adrienne fell from the top 3 to the bottom 3 in a short space of time. Watch more of the heat here:



cake boss



Cake Boss is an American reality television series set at Carlo's bakery. Carlo's bakery is a family owned business that produces what many say are the best tasting, highest quality wedding and specialty cakes as well as baked goods. The bakery is based in the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey.

Never having tasted their cakes, I can agree with the statement above, because just by looking at the cakes from my living room, makes me want to jump into the television set and indulge in  these mouth watering treats.
These cakes are not your typical bakery goods, because every creation is made and treated like an art creation, and I am sure they taste like one. They transform every-day boring pastry into the most decadent pastry you have ever tasted.

Watch how buddy make this amazing cake for national train day.



and here is his final product for train day
