Sweet Genius is an American reality-based cooking television series on the Food Network.
[1] The premise of the show pits four chefs, of confectionery and pastry, against one another to compete for a chance to win $10,000 based on the creativity and taste of each dish.
[4] Similar to the format of the show Chopped, four chefs compete in separate rounds with mandatory ingredients.
In the following seasons, the format was changed to Chocolate, Candy and Cake and the electronic voice was taken out, while Chef Ben-Israel became far less stricter and more cheery.
The loser of the round is revealed when Chef Ben-Israel formally tells the contestant, "You were no sweet genius."
