Format
Similar to the format of the show '' Chopped'', four chefs compete in separate rounds with mandatory ingredients. After each round, a chef is eliminated from the competition. What differentiates it from ''Chopped'' is that they also must include an inspiration. In Season 1, the rounds were divided into challenges to create ''Frozen'', ''Baked'' and ''Chocolate'' desserts and also an electronic voice told them their inspiration and ingredients for the round. In the following seasons, the format was changed to ''Chocolate'', ''Candy'' and ''Cake'' and the electronic voice was taken out. At the beginning of each round, Chef Ben-Israel reveals the first mandatory ingredient followed by an inspiration. The second mandatory ingredient is revealed at the halfway point of each round. On rare occasions, a third ingredient is introduced. The time limit goes from 40 minutes in the first round, 50 minutes in the second round, and then an hour in the final round. After each round, Chef Ben-Israel tastes and evaluates each dessert. The loser of the round is revealed when Chef Ben-Israel formally tells the contestant, "You were no sweet genius."Series Overview
