Judged by the talented trio of Stephanie Boswell, Carla Hall, and Zac Young, contestants will be scrutinized not only for their baking skills but also for their creativity and thematic execution.

The winner will earn the coveted title of Halloween Baking Champion and walk away with a deliciously enticing prize of $25,000.
Halloween Wars Set to Premiere on September 21
Following closely behind, Halloween Wars will make its return on September 21 at 9 PM ET/PT. This competition, known for its elaborate displays that merge cake artistry with pumpkin carving, will be hosted by the charismatic Jonathan Bennett. The show will feature seven teams, each composed of a skilled cake decorator, a talented sugar artist, and an innovative pumpkin carver. Together, they will strive to create awe-inspiring Halloween-themed displays, aiming for a stunning visual impact while also impressing the judges with their creativity and technical skills.
Judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeira will evaluate each team’s artwork, focusing on their imagination, execution, and adherence to the Halloween theme.
