About this show

Sweet Genius is a food competition that challenges America's premier pastry chefs to create magical and inventive desserts given inspiration, surprise ingredients and a finite amount of time. The chefs must prove they have what it takes as they compete in three unique pastry challenges. They will face elimination by Ron Ben-Israel - the Sweet Genius himself - who will critique their work and determine who he will award the $10,000 cash prize.

I really enjoyed Sweet Genius. The challenges were interesting and Ron Ben Israel was snarky & amusing. I hate that this show was cancelled; I could name a few current Food Network shows that should be sacrificed in order to bring Sweet Genius back.
