The competition has leveled up as 16 elite pastry chefs put their skills to the test in The Ultimate Baking Championship. This new Food Network series sees these culinary masters demonstrate what they can do through eye-catching and tasty creations that extend beyond the norm. 

Jesse Palmer sets the table of the activities in each of the nine episodes with Duff Goldman heading up the judging alongside guest panelists including Bryan Ford, Amaury Guichon, Shinmin Li, Jacques Torres, Sherry Yard, Molly Yeh and Zac Young. Every challenge thins out the field leading into deciding the Ultimate Baking Champion, who will also walk away with the $50,000 grand prize during the May 4 finale. Competitors were chosen throughout the country, coast-to-coast, for a chance at sweet and sugary greatness.
