Whoopi Goldberg’s
American Spectacular
Hollywood
legend Whoopi Goldberg set the team a massive challenge to build a sky scraper
of a cake for a fundraising event held in New York. The cake consists of
various famous landmarks all sculpted to perfection using chocolate. However, there
were difficulties throughout as the team were told they couldn’t bring their
own ingredients to American, meaning they had to use the American equivalent to
what they needed.

Greg Rutherford’s
Food For Thought
British Olympic
long jump gold medallist, Greg Rutherford challenged the creative team to
create the biggest candy house to feed 2, 000 people at a charity fundraising
sleep out event in London. In the most nerve-racking build, Tom Robertson
became chief architect and builder on this creation. The detailed house
included a cheeky garden gnome, a welcome home mat, a dog, a pie sitting on the
window sill all created out of a mixture of chocolate and sweets. However, this
challenge posed a huge construction difficulty as the structure failed to keep
its position in transit.
