Big scare for Benjamin in the last episode of Best pastry chef. The candidate lost his means due to time and wanted to abandon the test. His competitors, who became his friends, were quick to cheer him up and make his cake for him!
Last week, Jennifer left the tent Best pastry chef to face Aurélie in the second part of the evening. A challenge that she took on with flying colors since she won it. This Thursday, November 21 on M6, the seven candidates still in competition gave their all during a stage focused on trompe-l'oeil and optical illusions. During the first challenge of the evening, they had to make a cake of an object present in the tent. Once hidden in the decor, Cyril Lignac and Mercotte had to find them. Then, chef Kevin Olliver asked participants to make an impressive cake with a mechanism that revealed an optical illusion.
Benjamin (The Best Pastry Chef 2024) ready to give up: “I'm not pessimistic, I'm realistic“
For the last challenge of the evening, they had to reproduce a fruit in a pastry, while including its taste inside. Former candidate Thibaut Lefils was there to challenge them. Anyone who does better than him could win a Golden Cupcake. Benjamin decided to make a coconut. If everything was going well at the start of the event, he was quickly taken by surprise by the weather. Indeed, his coconuts did not freeze quickly enough, which completely made him lose his composure… to the point of wanting to give up. Sitting on his work surface, he confides to Laëtitia Milot: “I'm waiting for the freezer“. “I've never seen you pessimistic like that“, she declares. Dryly, he retorts: “I'm not pessimistic, I'm realistic“. Discouraged, he is convinced that he will not “nothing out” and is about to give up.

But after a few moments, Laëtitia Milot regains control and asks everyone to leave Benjamin: “I have to tell you each to go back to your work plans.“What a team!
