Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

I'm amazed by a Netflix program in which several talented pastry chefs participate and make amazing cakes with the shapes of animals and objects. In each episode, the judges have to guess which is the real one, since each of them appear camouflaged between objects that seem similar. The other day I saw cakes in the shape of ducks, chess boards, etc., and I had a hard time guessing which was the cake. The winner of each round gets $5,000 and goes to the next round where he has to continue showing his artistic abilities. Whether you really like luxury patisserie, eat cakes or simply watch reality tv programs in the style of Masterchef or The Final Table, do not miss this program since I'm sure that you will be surprised like never before.
