Sliced: fall edition

Watch as three WSS editors attempt to make fall treats!

Evelyn Kraber, Vera Tanas, and Maya Mueller • November 13, 2024

In the spirit of the fall season, it’s time for another episode of Sliced!

Today’s episode is based off of “Chopped.” Our contestants, WSS editors Vera Tanas ’25, Maya Mueller ’26 and Evelyn Kraber ’26, are provided a basic set of ingredients such as flour, butter and sugar, along with a set of surprise ingredients. Contestants have to use all of these surprise ingredients to make a sweet of their choosing.

This episode’s host, Sophie Bergman ’27, got to pick out the surprise ingredients for today’s episode, which, to say the least, threw the contestants for a loop. After the ingredients were revealed, they had an hour to work their magic. In the words of Tanas, “Hey, I can work with it. It can’t be that bad, right?”

In the end, the kitchen was a disaster, but the treats were made and it was time for the next test—the judging. This task fell to Bergman and Abby Guo ’25, who ultimately decided the winner.

Watch the struggles and the occasional successes of today’s contestants in the episode linked above!
