Speaker 1: It's all been building to this. The final bake day
Speaker 1: was yesterday evening. It's time to try and find the
Speaker 1: winner today on our first ever this Christian O'Connor, the
Speaker 1: Great Australian Cake off like give me, give me cake now,
Speaker 1: all right? So the last three days me, Jack and
Speaker 1: Pats have been trying to do a classic cake from
Speaker 1: the Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book. I'm not the
Speaker 1: same person I was on the show yesterday. There's something
Speaker 1: that's been knocked out of me, and it's when that
Speaker 1: cake fell over yesterday at half nine. It's tilting like
Speaker 1: the leaning tower of pizza, which a rocket ship shouldn't do.
Speaker 1: It's it's not I try to do my best, but
Speaker 1: that looks a mess.
Speaker 2: It's an amazing photo that you put on your Instagram,
Speaker 2: a mid you got at mid fall. The photo that
Speaker 2: was taken literally with the.
Speaker 1: Panic on my face when I realize the hours are
Speaker 1: put into it, it was just fair. I've got an
Speaker 1: uber in today so I could try and guarantee that
Speaker 1: it wouldn't fall over. It yes, and even I was like,
Speaker 1: what's the point It's fallen over in the kitchen. I
Speaker 1: don't even know how it fell over.
Speaker 3: Tom.
Speaker 1: I tell you what, though, there is a clear, clear, clear, clear,
Speaker 1: clear winner. As we would have thought. Anything Patsy does
Speaker 1: always does it. One. Your train looks better than the
Speaker 1: one in the actual book.
Speaker 2: I think that's too kind, is fantastic.
Speaker 1: It makes me want to be ten, and it'd be
Speaker 1: my birthday today. It is just if my mum made
Speaker 1: that for me. You'd just be the happiest kid in
Speaker 1: the world. Jack, yours looks great as well.
Speaker 2: At least we all have an entry. We're got to
Speaker 2: put a photo of each of them. The rocket, the
Speaker 2: tip truck, and the train all have to go up
Speaker 2: because I think we've I think we've out done ourselves.
Speaker 2: I didn't expect him to be there.
Speaker 1: Look, you two have outdone yourself. The rocket has done me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I tried everything. I've got to be honest. I didn't
Speaker 1: bother looking at the recipe after awhile, because there's not
Speaker 1: a lot on there. Ye just go after pictures. It
Speaker 1: has got some sort of bass that you've made with
Speaker 1: it with like cardboard and tim foil.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's meant to, yeah, meant to look like
Speaker 2: rocket boosters. So I say that you've bought those in separately.
Speaker 2: Are you going to try to reconstruct it?
Speaker 1: The base isn't strong enough for some reason, it's extra thick.
Speaker 1: Have you seen that rocket gets thicker at the bottom?
Speaker 1: As the kids said, Dad, you've made a mountain. Okay,
Speaker 1: kid's got hips, and those hips don't lie, Jack, So
Speaker 1: I settle team obviously. Now Matt Preston's going to look
Speaker 1: at all of these and pick a winner and have
Speaker 1: his comments about what he actually thinks of all these cakes.
Speaker 3: Okay. The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, let's say go live to Matt Preston, who
Speaker 1: is in front of our three cakes. Matt described the carnage,
Speaker 1: described the scene.
Speaker 3: I don't know when I'm here to judge a cake
Speaker 3: competition or stage and intervention. I'm looking at the three cakes.
Speaker 3: You've got the train cake from Pats, We've got the
Speaker 3: rocket cake and Christian, and we've got the tip truck
Speaker 3: cake from Jack. Now let's start off with the train cake. Wow. Wow.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, sometimes hard work pays off, and
Speaker 3: it's paid off in this case. This is a magnificent train.
Speaker 3: The red engine, a yellow and blue caboose loaded with
Speaker 3: colored popcorn beautifully Duyde soundstraps, wheels made out of mint slices.
Speaker 3: The detail here is amazing. Perhaps your cake is magnificent.
Speaker 3: There's only one score I can give your cake, and
Speaker 3: that's a ten on ten. It's so it's an example.
Speaker 3: There's an example about why great cake design makes things
Speaker 3: look brilliant. You've done a beautiful job. I've cut it open.
Speaker 3: The cake looks homemade and it looks tender. You've done
Speaker 3: a beautiful job. Okay, now the tip truck. You know, look,
Speaker 3: you know what I always think to take the prection.
Speaker 3: You look at it. No, immediately that's a tip truck
Speaker 3: when you're half away there and what you've given us
Speaker 3: on the table is absolutely a bright green trip tip truck.
Speaker 3: I'm slightly concerned about the fingernails or like green fingernails
Speaker 3: on the front, and there's some sort of put on
Speaker 3: the hope or else it's something else, but that's tips
Speaker 3: out load with Lolly's bright green icing. I'm particularly liking
Speaker 3: the piping of the lit winter and wipe that. That's
Speaker 3: really impressive. Jack, It's it's a it's a solid seven
Speaker 3: out of ten. Christian O'Connell, you've it looks like you've
Speaker 3: never baked before, you I haven't.
Speaker 1: That's you're quite right. There is the first cake I've
Speaker 1: ever baked.
Speaker 3: And well, you know, and on which case you've got
Speaker 3: to be you've got to be commended. I think I
Speaker 3: think I'm sure Pat's probably baked her first kate, which
Speaker 3: he was about five. And your kate looked like look
Speaker 3: like it has been baked by by a five year old,
Speaker 3: but a five year old without a five year old
Speaker 3: with with with with aspirations. So you know, you know what,
Speaker 3: you got to say that it's not very good. The icing,
Speaker 3: the icing is comesy. It could easily be be a
Speaker 3: kind of Game of Thrones tower you could we could
Speaker 3: probably get away with that. Maybe maybe fashion the wings
Speaker 3: into dragons. And really, I think you probably need to
Speaker 3: stage what what's called in the Trader Cake intervention and
Speaker 3: saying Gary Meagan and your house give you a lessons
Speaker 3: to be a spunder a breeze.
Speaker 1: Block, ideally a sponger man.
Speaker 3: You know what the amazing is. Yeah, yeah, you gave
Speaker 3: it a go. It is it did stand up. It
Speaker 3: is vertical and and you know I'm being a bit
Speaker 3: unfair here, and it's got the red cap on the top,
Speaker 3: it's got the it's got the spikes on the side
Speaker 3: with the candles, and I reckon if you were if
Speaker 3: you were a small kid going turning up to your
Speaker 3: party and your dad would bake that for you, you'd be
Speaker 3: beside yourself with excitement because because you know, the hard work,
Speaker 3: the hours, the sweat.
Speaker 1: The page. But a forty seven year old man's done
Speaker 1: us over two days from mark a ten for the cake.
Speaker 3: Well, well, if pats cakes are ten, then yours is
Speaker 3: probably a shoe, you know, And and that and that
Speaker 3: I'd say, I've prayed, I've said two of those points
Speaker 3: for having it.
Speaker 2: Go congratination.
Speaker 1: We pay a great winner world. I deserve Patsy's cake.
Speaker 1: Does it looks better than the one in the book?
Speaker 1: Well done, Pats, Thanks guys. Hey listen, Matt Preston, thank
Speaker 1: you very much.
Speaker 3: Thanks for that, guys, lovely doing that. It was lots
Speaker 3: of fun. Bye, I'll tell you some video you'll love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, great, love to see you saying zero ten.
