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 ble 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.
The Food Network is increasingly targeting people who do not actually
cook. So it isn't about talent. Have you ever seen the 'Secret L:ife Of'
shows? They'll do a whole episode about America's love affair with
Twizzlers.
