"If, like me, you grew more and more annoyed at Lego Masters’ refusal to show us the building process, or wanted better judging from that show or Buddy vs. Duff and its sketchy outcomes, this is the competition for you," says Andy Dehnart. On Baking Impossible, he says, "bakers and engineers join together to build something that’s then tested in spectacular ways: a floating cake boat that traverses a small pool of water, a playable mini-golf hole, an actual car smashed into a wall. There’s a lot of fun, nerdy conversation along the way as the engineers and bakers collaborate, learning about each other’s trades and bringing their own strengths to the conversation."
