The production of Best Pastry Chef don’t rest on your laurels. While the show ushered in the launch of Mercotte’s secret kitchen in the second part of the evening last year, it continues to surprise for its twelfth season. In the fourth episode broadcast this Wednesday October 4 on M6 at 9:10 p.m., the twelve candidates still in competition will have to compose desserts under the sign of “love at first sight under the tent”. In short, it will be about love! And when we talk about a couple, we inevitably think of Cyril Lignac and Mercotte, a pair since the very first edition to judge the pastry chefs. Together, they prepare a (poisoned) gift for the competitors. But which one?
