January 15 - 21, 2023 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media I f there's a food show that proves you don't always need a prize incentive to do your best, that show would be "Bake Squad." The Netflix series, which re- turns Friday, Jan. 20, for a sec- ond season on the streamer, is a food competition, to be sure. It's hosted by Christina Tosi, chef and founder of the bakery chain Milk Bar, who hand- picked the members of said "Squad": cake decorator Ash- ley Holt, chocolatier Gonzo Jimenez and pastry chefs Christophe Rull and Maya-Ca- mille Broussard. All of them are back for Sea- son 2, and in each of the eight 35-minute episodes, the four esteemed bakers compete to see whose sweet concoction will be selected as the show- stopping dessert that will make someone's big day — think wedding, anniversary or kids' birthday party — extra special. Here's the thing: unlike most culinary competition se- ries, there's no edge-of-your- seat elimination challenge, and no cash prize or highly- publicized job opportunity. For the four bakers, it's all about craftsmanship, taking pride in one's work and seeing how they respond to each challenge. They'll even help each other when needed, as they did in the series opener when "Bake Squad" first launched in the summer of 2021: Holt asked to borrow the other bakers' timers in order to cool her nine different cake components, and they willing- ly obliged. That level of coop- eration and respect is some- what refreshing, given the usual "every person for them- selves" tone to most competi- tion series. Mind you, there is still a stressful element to this family-friendly competition, and as always, it's the time limit imposed upon these cre- ators. "Bake Squad" hails from production company theold- school and showrunner Yas- min Shackleton ("MasterChef USA"), who had this to say about Season 2 (per Deadline): "Having a returning series on Netflix was always an am- bition for us here at theold- school, so we are delighted to be back again with the same brilliant squad that made the first season such a breakout hit. In our second season we are taking it up a notch with even more spectacular and in- novative creations that will blow people's minds." Season 2 of "Bake Squad" premieres Friday, Jan. 20, on Netflix.
