Fantasy Baking Championship

All we do is PIE, PIE, PIE, no matter WHAT! We’ve got pies for days as the bakers attempt to fulfill Jesse (and Jen’s) insatiable appetite for all things flaky and gooey. Join us as we bid a fond (and, HOT TAKE, controversial) farewell to our “Santa from Atlanta”, explore the interesting dynamics of this year's judges table and find that even a McDonald’s Apple Pie can have a place in our hearts, if we just let it in…

WHEEL....OF....DEEE-SSERTTTS!  In this week's episode, the bakers step up to the big wheel o'fate to find out what holiday ingredient they'll be using to spice up their holiday desserts and inadvertently send Jen & Chris's entire family into anaphylaxis (nuts!  seeds!  mangoes!).  Complete with a backstory from the Santa from Atlanta that left not a single dry eye in the house, this episode tested our bakers' ability to think on their feet and warm the judges' hearts.   Join us as we fall deeper in love with this holiday crew and further away from the correct pronunciation of Curacao.

Anyone else discover 30 minutes into this episode that they were in for not one, but TWO hours of holiday baking goodness?  But, has this gift been brought by Santa or by Krampus?!  Join us as we put on a cozy winter hat, pull up a plate of "quick breads" (whatever the hell those are?), meet our beloved bakers for the first time and place the producers firmly onto the naughty list for sending TWO of them home in the season premiere of Holiday Baking Championship! 

The snow is starting to fall, there's a chill in the air and the faint sound of bells jingling in the distance...  Holiday Baking Championship is BACK and it's time for the DRAFT!!  We're changing things up this time around and leaving our team selections in the hands of fate (a.k.a. - The Big Wheel)!  Join us as we kick off the holiday season, meet our bakers for the first time, and gear up for tonight's season premiere!  

All Hail the Queen of Halloween! If you've mopped yourself off the floor yet, we're here to serve up a recap the bloodiest, teary-est, hacked-off limb-iest episode of Halloween Baking Championship ever.  Plus... Goblins?  Food Network put us through the ringer with not one, not Two, but THREE hair-raising challenges.  Join us as we emerge from this glorious house of horrors, bid a fond farewell to this season of Halloween Baking Championship and congratulate one baker who's walking out $25K and the title of HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPION!!!

Shall We Dance?  Halloween Baking Championship tests our bakers' moves, as they invite our five remaining contestants to a costume contest in the ballroom.  Demon Farmer, Plague Doctor Schoolgirl, and a werewolf named Trent?  Yes, please.  Join us as these bakers waltz further into our hearts, and we answer the burning question: will Chris make it to the finale or have to jazz-hands into the sunset with his last remaining baker...

Things are heating up this week as our bakers step behind the red velvet rope and into the most exclusive club in H - E - Double Hockey Sticks...The Devil's Den!  Turns out the devil is a fan of sauerkraut AND disco!  Join us as we find out which of our intrepid bakers make it out alive and which devilish ingredient will send one of them down in flames!   

Bakers of the world... if you've been waiting for a sign that the season of scares has arrived, this was the episode for you!  Creepy phantom laughter? CHECK.  Pink-eyed demon dolls whose heads spin around?  CHECK.  Bow ties made of flesh (er...fondant)??  DOUBLE CHECK.  The spooky police need not be called this week's doll inspired bakes were the stuff of nightmares!  

It's a little-known fact that vampires do indeed enjoy dessert, and these Halloween Baking Championship bakers set out to prove it with a vampire BOO-fet designed to delight even the most discerning of undead palates.  With a twist as black as the producers' souls, the bakers must ask themselves whether adding garlic to their desserts will kill their vampire guests, or any hope they have of making it on to the next round... Join us as we Van Helsing up the joint and drive a stake through the very heart of Chris's chance at victory! 

A croquemboo™ in week two?  A candy illusion to add confusion?  An edible fence to make things tense?  Bakers of the world, we're here for all of it!  Join us as we step onto the front porch of this season's Halloween Baking Championship haunted house to take a deep dive into this week's episode,  discuss the merits of using the word caddywampus, and share some of our own favorite haunted house experiences (one of them involves a severed limb)!
