Fantasy Baking Championship

PIES PIES, PIES PIES Pies Pies EVERYBAHDAAAY! Jen’s clearly on the nice list, because Holiday Baking Championship served her up a buffet of flaky goodness bound to put us ALL in an attitude of gratitude. To thank us all for this bounty, Jen explains why we should never eat maraschino cherries, introduces us to a new way to greet your neighbors (keep that pie for yourself!) and even invents an entirely new word! There’ll be canned fruit, 160 million pounds of butter, and NO REGRETS. So grab your Butternuts and shut your piehole, as we all preemptively pop our pants and dig into this episode! 

Baby it’s cold outside, but don’t you worry because Holiday Baking Championship is whipping up some boozy confections to enjoy around a Craquelin Yule log on this almost-winter night! But a few drinks, some tempered chocolate, and a marzipan woodland menagerie later, and one baker will be left out in the cold… So grab your cake combs and belly up to our bar as we ask some timeless HBC questions: How much booze is enough, Nancy?  Why do pretzels suck? IS feuilletine a dietary supplement? All this and more as we dive headlong into this holiday season.

It’s Ho Ho Holiday time, y’all!  You thought perhaps you’d have a day or two to digest your kid’s Halloween candy before the holiday police were on the scene, and you were wrong! Toss those pumpkins and don your warmest socks because Food Network’s taking us to winter town, and this train’s ahead of schedule! There’ll be donuts! And cakes! And cheese of the edible AND spoken variety (Oh, Jesse)... It’s getting cold out there, so gather round and warm your hearts with us as we fall for another crop of bakers, curse pine nuts, and guess at which baker will prove to be the apple of the judges’ eye.

The holidays may have arrived, but that doesn't mean that Halloween is done with us just yet!  Bakers of the world, the gremlins were out in full force this weekend and they descended on the house of Jen & Chris in ways we still don't yet fully understand.  BUT, the show must go on and that meant a quick Live broadcast just minutes before the premiere of Holiday Baking Championship AND the return of the Wheel of Fate to determine our teams for the season!  So, deck the halls, because it's Draft Day!  

AND THE KILLER IS...... Sugar! (J/K, J/K) In this, the Mother of all finales (hint hint), you can't be too careful because there's *sudden* death lurking around every corner, and only the best s'mores in the world can save you.  In this episode, we learn that pumpkin can be "re-imagined", brains can be tasty, and a good baker can make you want to lick the lid of a trash can.  It's got thrills, it's got chills, it's got cakes taller than Guillermo's baby.... and it's got a champion that brought us all to (happy) tears!  

Join us as we get in our last licks of spooky and cram in as much MURDER as possible before it's all sugar fairies and gingerplums!

BOO-ZYCAKES!  This week, Halloween Baking Championship goes PG-13 and asks our bakers to break Slasher Movie Rule #87: DON’T DRINK IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.  Ten roll- and fault-line cakes later, and one of our beloved bakers WILL NOT.  Join us as we take the penultimate visit to Camp Devil’s Food Lake and prepare for the heartbreak and triumph to come...

Donuts, ahoy!  Gather round the snack table, matey, 'cause it's the Dismemberment Under the Sea dance and it's time to get awkward, hormonal, and DEAD!!  The Camp Devil's Food Lake killer is closing in and seemingly no amount of slime, candy maggots or skin flakes can stop him.  So, eat all the maple bacon and chicken-fried fat back donuts you can, cause there's a yellow raincoat a-coming for all but one of us!

Warm up those blood-curdling screams because Halloween Baking Championship brings the GORE this week with severed finger TERROR-misu, and a blood drip cake that will B-Positive-ly horrifying to behold!  And fear not Bakers of the World, because the severed-ear motif continues, as does J.T.'s quest for a Rudy-like victory.  Join us as we venture deeper into the woods surrounding Camp Devil's Food Lake and sample the delights and horrors that lie within and ponder just who IS the camp killer, and who will survive...

Maggots and roaches and fruit bats, oh my! The judges literally ask the bakers to put a foot in their mouths in this week’s ultra-gross, ultra batty Halloween Baking Championship visit to Camp Devil’s Food Lake.  Our beloved bakers survive the horror of having to serve cupcakes to the judges only to be faced with nightmarish ingredients like black beans, black licorice and black GARLIC?  We would not want to be in their position for all the marzipan in the world, dear listeners...which is why they’re on TV, and we’re four dum dums fangirling and talking smack in our jammies!  Let's get spooky!!

You thought you were doing great in therapy, but you were WRONG as Halloween Baking Championship brings your Mommy Issues and TWO BAKERS FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS back from the DEAD!!!  WHOA!  In another 2-hour episode, Food Network tries to kill us all with zombie bakers, eye goop cookies, and a severed hand sudden death round that left us ALL bloody and maimed...  We are exhausted and emotionally spent, and that's not just because we recorded this episode LIVE at 11pm.  Join us in all of our punchy glory as we rap with some of this season's bakers live and deconstruct this mother of an episode!
