Kids Baking Championship

First impressions are everything, so Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman kick off the competition by giving the kid bakers free rein to show off their bestselling dessert using the psychology of color.

A successful business captures the public's attention with a unique product or a new spin on familiar things; Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli challenge the biz bakers to tantalize their customers by combining two treats into one dessert mash-up.

The biz bakers are tasked with putting their own design on a logo cake; the kids will go head-to-head in a team challenge that finally decides which cake flavor is better, chocolate or vanilla.

Food festivals are the perfect place to get reviews from new customers, so Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli have the bakers create festival-friendly desserts in a jar; after tasting each other's treats, the baker with the most likes wins immunity.

Sales trends change all the time, so Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman task the bakers with making cupcakes in a popular flavor; each baker pairs up with their neighbor to create a new cupcake that will predict a trendy flavor in the future.

Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli know that sometimes you need to sit down over a nice meal to seal a deal; to honor this tradition, the bakers create power lunch imposter desserts like crab cakes with wedge salad, steak with fries and escargot.
