Berry is, of course, key in making this all work. She gives off a grandmotherly
vibe, but the kind of grandmother who was a spy back in the day and still knows
a dozen ways to kill a man with a pastry bag. The breadth and depth of her
baking knowledge is both comforting and terrifying. You know you’re in good
hands, but you also feel for the contestants who can’t sneak any mistakes by
her.” –Robert Chan
