Judges: "Anya, you had a problem with the ice cream?"

Anya: "I had a perfectly set ice cream, and I thought this might not be fluffy enough, so I decided to fluff it up. I have redone the cake as well. It was supposed to be a sort of a chiffon cake, and I just used the sea buckthorn powder."

Judge: "Have you used that before in a cake?"

Anya: "I have not."

Judge: "I'm wondering if that really threw out the texture. There's probably anti caking stuff in there, like cornstarch or something else."

Anya: "That explains the texture."

Kristen Kish: "It seems like the pressure to bring forward these ingredients that represent your culture got in the way of proper technique this time."
