Hell, nothing is even a tiny little bit homemade. Sandra's schtick
is to buy a bunch of overprocessed [censored] at the store and slap it
together. And there's nothing wrong with that. Lots of people
don't have the time or inclination to bake or cook from scratch.
They wouldn't sell cake mixes if people didn't buy 'em.I think my main problem with Sandra is her presentation. A bit of
context: Sandra is a bleached blonde who can't possibly eat any of
her own creations because she wears approximately the same size as
my six-year-old daughter. Her sets change for every show to match
her outfit. She has seven or eight Kitchen Aid mixers that she
never uses. Her husband is a very old real estate developer. She's
probably never used an electrical kitchen appliance in her life
and if she doesn't have a personal cook I'd be very surprised.So why does she have her own show? And more importantly: why is
she making a Kwanzaa cake?She made a Kwanzaa cake on one episode. It was filled with canned
apple pie filling. frosted with blue frosting, and had Corn Nuts
on it. Corn Nuts, people.She has a multitude of bad ideas. Tons of 'em. Like, for her
football show, she made something called a beergarita. It's a
margarita with beer in it. Yum! On the rare occasion she does
something clever, she talks it up like she'd thought of it
herself. Strips of waxed paper underneath the cake to keep the
frosting from ending up all over the plate? Julia was doing that
when you were in diapers, sweetie.This is one of those shows that makes me scratch my head because
so many other talented people have had shows on the Food Network
but have either moved on or been cancelled. The Tamales could eat
Sandra for breakfast. Heck, I'd watch an all-day marathon of the
Two Fat Ladies before I'll watch another episode of this overgrown
sorority girl.
My bet is that the Food Network doesn't actually pay her.
