Sandra Lee is far and away the most entertaining lush booze hound ever to hit the Food Network, or perhaps any network. There is no "semi" about her authentic homemade cooking; she often literally assembles several pre-packaged ingredients on top of each other with no work to speak of other than, well, opening the package. Never forget some of her finest moments:
-
the time she poured hypnotiq in a glass and called it her "Ocean Breeze cocktail" and matched it with a "beautiful" coral blue table set inspired by her "local aqworium"
-
the time she made a Kwanzaa cake. if you're wondering what exactly that might entail, fear not, for Sandra Lee is here to shower you with cultural enlightenment. (make sure you keep watching long enough to see her put corn nuts on a cake. it's a Kwanzaa tradition, okay?)
-
the time she made a Hanukkah cake, filled with non-kosher marshmallows (!) and "decorated" with fake plastic pearls - you know, for the symbolism of using an imitation shellfish product on jewish food - while topping it off with a monstrosity vaguely resembling two Stars of David awkwardly shoved into each other
-
the time she made a...chocolate yule log. in case you were thinking she picks exclusively on ethnic minorities for her hideous holiday themed cake creations, this looks exactly as appetizing as it sounds. to her credit, this is the first cake she didn't make with store-bought Angel Food cake as a basis. she still bought a chocolate cream roll cake from the store and smothered it in cool-whip, though.
