TONIGHT IS THE SEASON PREMIERE OF THE ULTIMATE BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP!!! I’ll welcome 16 of America’s top pastry chefs to the most intense baking competition ever! 🧁 First, the chefs are split into two groups and tasked with creating a dessert that is centered around assigned flavor profiles — sweet, salty, sour or bitter — combined with a specific texture. 🍰 Each baker must craft an elevated plated dessert in their signature style inspired by their assigned profile. 🍩 After each round, two bakers are eliminated, leaving 12 to advance to the master challenge. 😳 In this round, the remaining chefs must create a dessert inspired by the roots of their baking journey for judges Duff Goldman and Sherry Yard. 🤩 In the end, two additional chefs are eliminated. 😱 See you TONIGHT at 9/8c on foodnetwork and stream on hbomax and discoveryplus #UltimateBakingChampionship
