October 10 - 16, 2021 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media F rom "Cake Wars" to "Holiday Baking Cham- pionship" and even "Buddy vs. Duff," view- ers have been treated to some in- credible sculptural cake displays that seem to defy the laws of physics. Now, Netflix's newest baking show wants to push the boundaries even further, and to do so, it has enlisted the help of some non-bakers who are used to applying the principles of sci- ence to structural designs. You might have already caught a glimpse of "Baking Im- possible" while surfing through the Netflix library. The first six episodes debuted on the stream- er on Wednesday, Oct. 6, but an- other batch of episodes is set to drop this Wednesday, Oct. 13. Part baking show, part build- ing challenge, "Baking Impossi- ble" features nine competing teams of two that consist of a baker and an engineer (hence- forth known as a "Bakineer"). In each challenge, these unlikely duos compete to create extraor- dinary cakes resembling edible boats, skyscrapers and minia- ture golf courses. (And no, they can't just layer on a bunch of ic- ing on a structure and call it a day — each cake has to be deli- cious, too.) Here's where it gets interest- ing: like an armchair made by a famous Swedish retailer, all those creations will have to be able to withstand an engineering stress test. Take, for example, the aforementioned skyscraper: it would have to be structurally sound enough to survive an earthquake. The judging panel consists of Andrew Smyth, an engineer and finalist on "The Great British Baking Show"; Joanne Chang, a James Beard Award-winning pastry chef; and Hakeem Oluseyi, an aerospace engineer. They're the ones who'll critique each creation based on appear- ance, ingenuity and flavor, and the winners will get to take home a $100,000 grand prize. "Baking Impossible" is hosted by Justin Willman, and given the nature of the gravity-defying creations featured in the show, it seems fitting to have a magician serve as the MC. Willman is also a comedian and the star/creator of the Netflix series "Magic for Humans," though if you're a fan of cake shows, you probably know him as the host of the Food Network shows "Cupcake Wars," "Cupcake Champions" and "Halloween Wars." It's a cake competition like fans have never seen before! The complete season of "Baking Im- possible" is available to stream on Netflix beginning Wednes- day, Oct. 13.
