Baking Championship: Next Gen

Episode 2

Family Favorite

For our sibling teams, family is everything, so hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown task the bakers with creating family favorite desserts. They want to learn more about the bakers through these sweet treats, and they want to discover if the bakers can execute under pressure. But that's not all! There's a five-minute baking time extension at stake that puts the bakers into a spin -- literally! In the end, the least successful team is eliminated.

Episode 3

A Trip to Remember

Family trips are the source of some of the best memories and often the best food! Hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown challenge the sibling baking teams to tell them about their travel experiences through vacation desserts. The bakers put their teamwork to the test to recreate or reimagine a memorable food experience from a location they've visited. In the end, the least successful team is eliminated.

Episode 4

Puzzle Piece of Cake

Hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown challenge the sibling teams to create two separate cakes that fit together just like a puzzle. Then, the bakers must decorate each puzzle cake piece to represent their sibling. Assigned cake flavors include chocolate, lemon, spiced, carrot, red velvet, strawberry, cookies and cream, and raspberry. When the last piece locks into place, the least successful team is eliminated.

Episode 5

Rise & Shine

It's everyone's favorite challenge! Inspired by the outrageously good breakfasts after the sleepovers of their youth, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown ask the bakers to create ultimate breakfast imposters. Each sibling team must make an over-the-top dessert imposter breakfast with three different dishes -- and don't forget the coffee twist! When the slumber party is over, the least successful team is eliminated.

Episode 6

Cream Puff Craze

Friendship bracelets are all the rage these days, so the sibling teams must create cream puff friendship bracelets arranged in two circles, like a pair of bracelets, decorated with messages to each other. And there's a twist! Mid-bake, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown bring out "choux your own adventure" unexpected ingredients like ube, dates, tahini, yuzu, fresh corn and ricotta that the teams must incorporate into their cream puffs. In the end, the team who falls short is eliminated.

Episode 7

Bigs & Littles

Desserts come in all sizes...just like kids! Since all the bakers are working in a team with their big or little sibling, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown ask the older sibling to make one large-scale big dessert and the younger sibling to make a dozen little desserts. And to make it even more challenging, the teammates can talk to each other, but they can't work on each other's desserts -- which makes for some epic and hilarious "sibling-splaining." In the end, one big and little team is eliminated.

Episode 8

Hat Tricks

Hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown ask the bakers to make "The Cat in the Hat" helper desserts. In order to earn a spot in the finale, the sibling teams must create an animal character who, like "The Cat in the Hat," brings joy to children and is represented in a large-scale, impressive dessert that isn't a cake. Once all the desserts have been tasted, the least successful team is eliminated.

Episode 9

Cakes to Move You

For the final challenge, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown save the biggest and most difficult task for last: the sibling teams must create a delicious and visually stunning animated cake. The siblings must draw on every ounce of teamwork to pull off an impressive animated illusion as their cake spins around. The winning team walks away with $25,000 and the title of Next Gen Baking Champions.
