"The show will feature 12 teams of siblings aged from 8 to 14 competing in a series of challenges to win $25,000, as well as the title of Baking Champions. Previous additions to the franchise have included seasonal themes, such as spring, summer, holiday, and Halloween competitions, as well as a similar "Kids Baking Championship," but this time the franchise is breaking new ground with a familial focus."
"In an official press release commemorating the series, Betsy Ayala, Head of Content for Food Network, notes that "the sibling dynamic brings out the unique personalities of these young bakers and adds so much fun and sweetness resulting in a nail-biting competition with a lot of heart." The hosts of the show, Duff Goldman of "Ace of Cakes" fame and Kardea Brown of "Delicious Miss Brown," will be there to both judge the young bakers' creations and give them some guidance along the way."
