This Monday, May 30, viewers of Cyril Lignac’s Cake Academy will discover six new candidates. Will alumni of the Best Pastry Chef be part of the show? Answer.
After Jonathan, Lindsey, Déborah, Olivier, Anne-Coline and Victor, six new amateur pastry chefs will try their luck, starting this Monday, May 30in Cyril Lignac’s cake academy. In total, over the weeks, they will be 24 to glean the wise advice of Cyril Lignac, Ophélie Barès, Desty Brami and the various guest chefs with whom they will work. Last week, May 23, M6 kicked off its new access-prime-time show. The particularity ? Amateur pastry chefs follow training worthy of professional courses with the key for the winner a position within the teams of Cyril Lignac, in particular. But will viewers find familiar faces? And especially old people from Best pastry chef ? Nay, the production replies, excluding a bridge between the two shows. “It’s not the same exercise at all.“, answers us the producer of Kitchen Factory, Jérémie Fazel. And his partner, Matthieu Jean Toscani to detail: “The selection was not made only on the level of pastry but really on the will to want to live from his passion“.
In Cyril Lignac’s cake academythe candidates confront each other to the (sometimes) harsh reality of this job. “What is very different [du Meilleur pâtissier, ndlr] because very involving. We are talking about a real change of life with a job at stake“, continues Jérémie Fazel. However, some candidates in the M6 amateur pastry chef competition do indeed mention their desire for a change of life. The latest winner to date, Maud, despite her young age, does not close this door, even if she prefers to pass her baccalaureate before as a precaution. “It’s not inconceivable, but it’s not in my plans for the moment. He is a bit early to decide where I’m headed… But if I see later that that’s the only thing that drives me, I don’t close the door“, confirmed the main interested party after her victory in the tenth season of the Best pastry chef.
Cyril Lignac more demanding in his Cake Academy than in The Best Pastry Chef
Besides, even if she doesn’t have a degree in pastry, this environment has taken up a lot of space in his daily life, since she is actively working on a collaboration to sell one of her creations and has created her website. “I would also like to find a way to offer training for pass on what i know to passionate people like me“, confided the young woman of 17 years. The two shows should, however, remain completely independent of each other.. Something to reassure the candidates of the Best pastry chefsince their classmates Cyril Lignac’s cake academy are under more pressure than ever. “In Le Meilleur pâtissier, we are there to accompany them, have a good time, and have fun. There, a change of profession implies that I am the same as in my companies. I always explain to my pastry chefs that I am demanding of them but that customers are 100 times more so towards me“, thus explained to us Cyril Lignac who is therefore intransigent with these.
