As temperatures warm up outside, the competition heats up in the kitchen as eight of the country’s best bakers compete on Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship, premiering Sunday, April 26th at 9:00pm ET/PT.
Bobby Deen hosts this sweet competition, as the contestants attempt to rise to the occasion with their springtime treats and win a sweet spot in the hearts of judges Duff Goldman (Duff Till Dawn, Kids Baking Championship), Nancy Fuller (Farmhouse Rules), and Lorraine Pascale (Lorraine’s Fast, Fresh and Easy Food). Only one winner will take home the grand prize of $50,000 and the title of Spring Baking Champion.
“After the sweet success of Holiday Baking Championship, viewers craved more delicious desserts and fun baking competition. Now, Spring Baking Championship is the icing on the cake! This competition – filled with creative baking challenges to celebrate the season – is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth,” said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network.
From Mother’s Day brunches, to Memorial Day family picnics, to birthday parties, and weddings, the competitors must prove their spring baking abilities each step of the way. In each of the six hour-long episodes, the bakers are tested in a pre-heat round, where one baker will be granted a special advantage in the main-heat. Along the way they must endure surprising twists in order to succeed.
