My daughters (15 and 17) and I all loved watching this show together. The contestants were a range of personalities and we enjoyed the little explanations they filmed that showed what each of them were thinking at the time. And we laughed a lot! Ignore the USA slams... I'd say this is a thoroughly Aussie show and USA viewers just don't get it, esp the humour (no offence, it's just that there's a big cultural difference). I wouldn't let those reviews put anyone off who would enjoy bingeing on a fun baking program with plenty of nail biting tension and good character development. Also, while we do a lot of baking at home, we are really amateurs and so learned about tempering (?) chocolate, choux pastry, and so much more. What these bakers had to do sometimes was frankly incredible! We had several favourite contestants and a couple not so favourite (you know who you are!) We are so sad to see there wasn't another season. Please bring back the dessert factory Zumbo and Rachel!! Remember, as Gigi says....your taaaime staaaarts naaaaaaow!

The cooking competition subgenre features TV series with professional chefs, amateur cooks, or culinary enthusiasts competing against each other in a series of cooking challenges. These challenges often test the contestants' culinary skills, creativity, teamwork, and ability to work under pressure.

The game show genre features TV series with contestants competing against each other in various challenges, tasks, or quizzes to win prizes or rewards. Game shows are designed to engage viewers by presenting exciting and often competitive scenarios that involve participants using their knowledge, skills, and strategies to outperform their opponents and win.

The reality TV genre, short for "reality television," features real-life situations, events, and interactions, often involving ordinary people rather than actors performing scripted roles. Reality TV shows aim to capture unscripted and authentic moments, providing viewers with a glimpse into various aspects of human life, behavior, and experiences.

Amateur Australian chefs compete to impress patisserie chef Adriano Zumbo with their sweet creations. Those who don't fit the brief go head to head in the 'Zumbo test' to replicate his unique desserts.
