The Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship returns on Jan. 7 with a dozen young bakers, including Madison Totaro, an 11-year-old from Austin. Hosts Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman guide the bakers through whipping up everything from brownies to tarts to see who will take home the grand prize of $25,000, a feature in Food Network Magazine and the title of Kids Baking Champion.
Throughout the 10 episodes, the competitors, ages 9-13, show off their skills and creativity as they dream up impressive confections and see one baker eliminated each week. On the premiere, the bakers are challenged to serve up cupcakes featuring Goldman’s favorite ingredient, bacon.
