Spring Baking Championship: Season 11, Episode 1

11 - 1: Welcome to the Little Shop of Spring Magic

In the two-hour premiere, 13 bakers enter the kitchen where they are challenged to use flavor, texture and design to craft a flower-themed dessert that reflects their unique personalities. Then, the bakers make showstopping honey pies inspired by the marvelous magic of bees that must infuse taste and presentation with a touch of magic to impress judges Kardea Brown, Nancy Fuller and Duff Goldman. Throughout the competition, the bakers take on enchanting challenges, including "squared off" fruit entremets celebrating the blocky, adventurous world of A Minecraft Movie, intricate butterfly-shaped napoleons, ice-cream-filled cake bombs with a glow-in-the-dark twist, three-layer cakes inspired by Marie Antoinette's iconic gravity-defying hairdo, and more. In the end, only one baker will be crowned the new Spring Baking Champion and walk away with the prize.
