" James Rosselle rules. I&amp;#039;ll tell you why: he has won three cake Challenges on the Food Network, creates phenomenal cakes, is about to open his very own cake shop and is an all-around great guy.  James has appeared on and won the Food Network&amp;#039;s Challenge Series an impressive three times now! He knocked it out of the park for the Sweet 16 Cake Challenge (that&amp;#039;s when I first met him and was blown away by his talent and creativity). James rocked the Surprise Engagement Cake Challenge, and most recently impressed the judges on the Extreme Holiday Cake Challenge. In case you missed his latest victory, it will air again tonight: Wednesday, December 3rd at 7:00 ET/PT on the Food Network and it is definitely worth catching even though I just let the cat out of the bag about who won. This holiday season, James went out of his comfort zone from making exquisite flowers and beautiful cakes to making an outrageous and extreme cake complete with explosive fireworks (Duff would be so proud).  You&amp;#039;re probably wondering how James has become such an amazing cake maker and I&amp;#039;m sure natural talent has got a lot to do with it, but he also had some great training, too. He graduated from the California School of Culinary Arts and after graduating, he moved onto New York, where he was hired by none other than Ron Ben-Israel, a well respected and impressive cake maker. There he honed his skills as an artist with fondant and gum paste. After New York, James worked as a pastry chef at TRU Restaurant in Chicago and most recently he worked at the renowned Notter School in Florida. After all those experiences, James decided it was time to head back west to California. By the New Year, he and his business partner, Sara Heslington, are hoping to have opened The Flour Shop, where all the lucky inhabitants of L.A. can get their hands on one of James&amp;#039; amazing creations. Keep your eye out for this fellow because I&amp;#039;m sure there are many more great achievements to come. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
