Ultimate Cake Off

 

Tariq Hanna

Episodes 1 and 4
 
Tariq Hanna

City: New Orleans, La.

Tariq is the bad-ass, rock 'n' roll pastry chef who challenges anyone to "take him on." Born in Nigeria and raised in London, his mixed accent reflects both regions. He admits to being a wanna-be rock star and has confidence to the core. He once made a 40th birthday-party cake for a member of the Pulitzer family and a geometrically accurate, 375-pound, 4-foot-tall Frank Lloyd Wright cake. He is capable of making cakes that move, have fireworks, and are basically kick-ass. Tariq came in second on Food Network Challenge, Cereal Cakes, where he made a 6-foot-long, 4-foot-high London Bridge cake. He considers himself the luckiest man alive to get paid to do what he does for a living.
