6 hours, 6 people, 6 desserts

The bakers and judges started arriving a little after 6pm to put the final touches on the delicacies, make the mousse and open the wine to give it plenty of time to breathe.

In preparation for the big event, we had all fasted. Watching the mousee being made and staring at all the desserts was almost unbearable.




The first course was Jimmy's famous chinese pork and mustard. As side dishes I made baked corn and asparagus sauteed with garlic. We also had some delicious P3 bread. And we started in on the wine, of course.

With 6 desserts to be tested and tried, we had to go light on the dinner course. But that didn't stop us from finishing everything!




The judges took their job very seriously and asked each baker questions about ingredients, recipes, quantities and what country they prefer to import their chocolate from.

The dessert list, in order of consumption:

• 
  Banana chocolate cake-Jimmy
• Choco Berry Tarts-Kirsten
• Triple Choco Brownies-Scott
• -BREAK-
• Cheesecake w/strawberry sauce-Jimmy
• Apple Triple Berry Crisp-Kirsten
• Chocolate Mousse-Scott
  
  

At break time, we took a walk. It was getting to be too much and we had to start getting the blood flowing again. After getting some fresh air and stretching our legs, we came back strong and finished the last three desserts.

Some recipes are public, some are top secret! Several include strange and secret ingredients that only participants and judges will ever know about. But all of them were absolutely incredible!!

This is what happens when you mix wine and sugar. Everyone goes a little crazy!
