In November of 2009, Pat Jacoby, owner of PattyCakes in Highland, IL, was asked to come back as a lead competitor for Season 2 of Ultimate Cake Off. This season, the stakes are higher as all the cakes are larger, wider, more technically challenging and more creative than ever before.
Pat was thrilled when her daughter Leah agreed to be her lead assistant. She asked Ruth and Eric Woller, from her team on Season 1, to return to assist her. Eric also serves as an assistant for Jon Auburn on an episode airing February 15, 2010. Ruth was thrilled to go with Pat a second time.
The theme was to develop a cake for the wedding of Jenna and James. They love old Hollywood movies and wanted their wedding cake to embody the romance, glitz and glamour of that era. We all know how to make beautiful wedding cakes...but how do you make one over 5 feet tall, with moving parts and lights, and keep it elegant? Can Team Jacoby create something esthetically pleasing to the bride and still push the limits enough to have their cake truly be an Ultimate Cake? Tune in Monday, March 8th at 9 pm on TLC to find out!
