May 14 - 20, 2023 WHATS UP! T7 BY CAROLINE COLLACUTT TV Media T emperatures are ris- ing, seasons are chang- ing and "Baking Championship" is back and hotter than ever, with a new, drool-worthy, sweat-induc- ing competition on its way. "Summer Baking Champion- ship" premieres Monday, May 15, on Food Network. This time, the heat is on, as 10 talented bakers from across the U.S. take part in the champion- ship. They'll be tasked with a se- ries of summer-themed baking challenges that feature the fla- vors, ingredients and celebra- tions that must elicit the sunny feelings summer brings. Jesse Palmer, of "The Bache- lor" fame, serves as host, guiding viewers through the action as the contestants create the most delectable desserts in hopes of impressing this season's judges: Duff Goldman ("Duff Takes The Cake"), Carla Hall ("The Chew") and Damaris Phillips ("Southern at Heart"). In the end, only one can earn the title of "Summer Baking Champion," along with the $25,000 grand prize. Starting off the season with some beachy fun, the bakers are asked to craft a dozen doughnuts made to look like water floaties, each including an added 3D ele- ment – tiny sugar flip-flops and chocolate sunglasses encour- aged. Whoever melts the com- petition gains an advantage for the next challenge – the "main heat," where bakers must pres- ent a cake that utilizes a gelatin water feature. As the summer rolls on, the championship sees bakers ele- vating classics like ice cream sandwiches, s'mores, cobbler and cream pies, facing challeng- es that highlight the very best summer has to offer, from farm- fresh fruit to endless outdoor ac- tivities. The bakers even pay homage to an upcoming sum- mer hit, making pink treats in honor of the upcoming Warner Bros. film "Barbie," which is set to release in theaters on July 21, 2023. Finally, it's a fireworks-worthy finale, as the remaining contes- tants celebrate America's birth- day by baking and decorating a moving, two-tiered cake that re- sembles a Fourth of July parade float. (That's right – a moving cake float.)
