Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sweet Genius is a competition show on Food Network, in the style of Iron Chef and Chopped. Master pastry chef Ron Ben-Israel, an internationally recognized expert on pastries, is the host who presents a challenge to four dessert chefs. The competing chefs get three rounds — Frozen, Baked and Chocolate (for season 1) or Chocolate, Candy, and Cake (from season 2 on) — to wow Ben-Israel and show they are truly sweet geniuses. To make the challenge more difficult, they are also presented with a "bewildering" inspiration and two to three unusual mandatory ingredients. The first mandatory ingredient and the inspiration come just before the round starts, Chopped-style. The 2nd (and 3rd in early seasons) ingredients are then introduced one at a time throughout the prep, forcing the chefs to adjust their dessert on the fly. If they win, they receive Chef Ron's recognition as a sweet genius and $10,000. If they fail... well, they are no sweet genius.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Achievements in Ignorance: Some winners have been primarily self-taught, and have won largely because they didn't cook by the same rules the trained professionals did, resulting in unusually creative desserts. One chef in the infamous bone marrow challenge decorated her plate with the bone the marrow came in, not realizing Chef Ron has a thing about inedible decorations. However, the way she used it was creative enough to actually earn his praise, and she won the episode.

Berserk Button: Chef Ron certainly has some notable dislikes and pet peeves: Too much blue food coloring. Chef Ron has stated that as there are no natural blue foods in existence, blue is just plain artificial, and too much blue food coloring can taste metallic. American buttercream. It's made with powdered confectioners sugar, which does not dissipate, leaving an unpleasant texture in the cream. In fact, just using powdered confectioners sugar in the creation of any cream or sauce is something he doesn't want anyone to do, because it won't dissolve and will leave that off-putting texture.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
