THE AMERICAN BAKING COMPETTION

 

THE AMERICAN BAKING COMPETITION, based on the hit UK format “The Great British Bake Off,” features 10 passionate home bakers competing for the title of best amateur baker in America. Each week, these bakers will compete in three unique challenges – “Signature Bake,” “Technical Bake” and “Showstopper Bake.”  The contestant who out-bakes the rest is that week’s “Star Baker,” while the one whose creations fail to impress is eliminated. The final challenge will be among the three remaining contestants, one of whom will go on to becrowned the best amateur baker in America and win the $250,000 grand prize.  The winner will also be awarded a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster to publish their own cookbook with Gallery Books.
