I just saw this challenge the other day for the first time and as soon as I saw that you were competing I called my husband in to watch the show, and I told him you were one of the most talented and amazing cake artists I'd ever seen. I was so rooting for you and was shocked that you were the only one who's intent was to please the client. I could not believe that the other contestants came in with their own ideas and were set on selling their own concept. Wow! I was crushed that you ended up in the situation that you did. There were so many factors working against you and I hope that you do not personalize ANY of it. The bride was obviously really out of it because of the fasting, and that in itself will make anyone overly emotional and angry. (Been there!) I don't think she realized how difficult it can be to translate an idea on paper into cake. LIke you said yourself, "It's just not what I do". The whole thing was so unfortunate, but obviously it was a good experience for you to go through and you've come away from it a true champion. I really think some people can decorate and some people can compete and you obviously can do both very, very well. You are an inspiration and I know that you will receive all the best that you deserve for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for what you do! Hi Anne!

It is still listed on their site but there is not a time or date. I would love to see the challenge, but missed it. I am curious if it is supposed to air again and if so the date.

The other chefs were being reprimanded during the competition (by the judges in the commentary) for taking over the whole design from the brides, but in the end, the judges voted towards the typical wedding cake. I thought the judging was unfair, and I felt so badly for you since your "client" was the only one who had her design carried through! Trying to bring that design to life was such a tough challenge, but your dedication to the competition and its expectations are commendable! (Unlike the others who totally created what they had decided BEFORE they even arrived!) I would have voted for you for staying true to the main focus of the competition. Good luck on future shows....please don't let this one event bring you down. Overall, I hope this young, inexperienced bride realizes your care and concern towards her vision and apologizes for her statements on air.

Dont worry you did soo well. If one of your personal assistants would have been there instead you def would have won. You were also the only one who actually tried to do what the client wanted and not what you wanted. It was your first challenge so dont worry i hope your on it many times to come. hey Anne, i just watcHed the episode for the first time after searching for it forever!!!! Dont worry you did soo well.

I can't find screenshots of any of them and I'm looking to get my wedding cake done...and really loved some of the concepts including yours Anne. I also liked the cake that was the final cake. You get too nervous over your cakes even when they're looking great! But that's the sign of an artist....always aware of something that should be changed and never declaring it perfect!

I felt so badly for you. You seemed to be the only one really trying hard to please your client. She was just too "out there" in my opinion. I hope you get a chance to do this again, as it is very obvious to me that you are extremely talented and sweet to boot. : ) I just wanted to tell you that I thought you were the epitome of graciousness on the food network challenge.

You were intuned to the brides wishes and none of the others did. I don't agree with Danielle about the bride being a b----. I think she was disappointed when she found out her cake wouldn't be complete. Any of us that have been brides know how important ever detail of the wedding is, especially the cake. I loved the design. I saw the challenge and I don’t think it was as bad as you think. You were intuned to the brides wishes and none of the others did.
