Baking Championship: Next Gen

Food Network introduces a new addition to the Baking Championship franchise, Baking Championship: Next Gen with hosts and judges, Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown. The pair of culinary experts helm the jam-packed pastry journey that gives a whole new meaning to sibling rivalry when 12 teams of siblings aged 8-14 compete to win $25,000 and become the next generation of Baking Champions. The wholesome and delightful confectionary competition will launch with a supersized two-hour qualifying round to determine who will continue across the eight subsequent episodes to clinch the prize. Once the competition begins, the sibling collaborators will take on tricky challenges like "breakfast dessert imposters," "cream puff friendship bracelets," and "animated cakes."

Bigs & Littles

Desserts come in all sizes...just like kids! Since all the bakers are working in a team with their big or little sibling, hosts and judges Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown ask the older sibling to make one large-scale big dessert and the younger sibling to make a dozen little desserts. And to make it even more challenging, the teammates can talk to each other, but they can't work on each other's desserts -- which makes for some epic and hilarious "sibling-splaining." In the end, one big and little team is eliminated.
