This was the hardest week of judging for the Cook with Us team, Hive account@offoodandart, Hive account@pandamama and Hive account@chefsteve. Everyone produced excellent dishes and the voting was super close. But, this is a competition and so only the top three people are advancing to the final dessert theme round. Congratulations to the three winners who will advance to the finals. For those that did not make it through we thank you for your participation and for all of your contributions to the Cook with Us community. We look forward to seeing you after the break in season three.

Let’s see who is advancing to the final round!
