At 8, the finale was shown on three large screens to a packed restaurant using every room in the large restaurant and banquet center. Jack Yacovelli had said he expected 800 persons and it looked as if there might have been more. \u00a0During the festivities, attendees had the opportunity to sample Watson\u2019s handiwork from the Wedding Wonderland Cakeshop, the bakery where both bakers previously worked together. A large roulette table cake sat in front of two large screen television, while nearly a dozen more tvswee in other parts of the banquet center for viewing. \u00a0A celebration erupted at 9:30 when the Blue team put the winning \u00a0keys successfully into a door of the new Las Vegas Bakery where their winning cake is now displayed.<\/p>\n

Wedding Wonderland Cakeshop owner Michael Temm, \u201cWe\u2019re so proud of what Al and Lia have accomplished! They work extremely well together, and they are both very talented bakers and cake artisans.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parties at both locations continued \u00a0after the show concluded – guests were \u00a0invited to stay until midnight to celebrate Team Blue\u2019s success and dance the night away.<\/p>\n

Weber, pastry chief, walked through the crowd of well wishers and signedf autographs \u00a0all evening in a long dress fitting for a winner. She was obviously well prepared and she talked to so many friends at the gathering. Hendel’s\u00a0\u00a0offered station of specialty foods and craft beers. One of the stations will showcase desserts made by Weber.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were \u00a0so happy and excited for this opportunity for our pastry chef and her teammante Al for making it to the final \u00a0and then win the Next Great Baker,\u201d said Christina Bennett of Hendel\u2019s.<\/p>\n
