Chef Young was off on the day we visited Sift — probably basking in the glow of his win, or signing autographs in spun sugar, or figuring out how to spend the $25,000 he won on “America’s Best Baker.’’ Young’s final bake (bake is a noun on these shows) was his version of the ultimate chocolate cake, a towering creation featuring three kinds of chocolate, crispy coconut praline (kẻo hạt dẻ), and massive dark chocolate flowers. One of the judges claimed to be “happy as a hog in mud’’ while eating Young’s cake.
