Aaron Samuels likes cake: and now he’s nabbed a delicious new gig
Does everyone remember Aaron Samuels? That guy who was a complete babe and had a weird fetish about his girlfriend’s face smelling like peppermint?
He also caused a lot of drama for The Plastics, but we still miss him.
Well you don’t have to miss him any longer because Aaron, actual name Jonathan Bennett, is making his way to our screens again. Finally!
The Mean Girls actor has joined the Food Network series Cake Wars. The 34-year old is set to host the American series which challenges four bakers to battle it out and create the best cake they can for a prize of almost €9,000.
Jonathan has admitted that while he’s delighted to be a part of the show, he’s also very excited about a particular aspect of the job description: the cake tasting.
"I like cake. Who doesn't like cake? Cake is delicious."
Mr Bennett, you’ve taken the words right out of our mouths.
While we were all secretly hoping for a rainbows and smiles type recipe to be top of the actor’s list, it turns out he’s a much savvier baker.
His go-to cake creation is a little out there, but we’ll settle for just watching him master the kitchen: "It's cornbread cake, and then you layer it with macaroni and cheese and then you drizzle it with buffalo sauce."
We have no worries about the actor keeping it clean in the kitchen, however bizarre the recipes get, because we all know by now: his hair does look sexy pushed back.
Jonathan just can’t seem to escape the compliment, but he doesn’t seem too worried about it;
Here's a #TBT 2 prove that I've always loved #cake!! Oh and I also love this one @IamLaceyChabert too!! #CakeWars pic.twitter.com/hHQLOOL0IF

“Today alone, six fans have told me my hair looks sexy pushed back,” he says. “And the reason fans say that to me every day is because they love the movie. I’m glad to hear it.”
We would love to have seen how Regina George would have reacted to him donning a nice chef’s hat and apron though.
