Decadent, sugary treats are the centerpiece of this cooking competition series that awards one baker $10,000 on each episode. The first round features three bakers, who each must create a mouthwatering dessert that uses a mystery ingredient. Following that round, a rotating panel of judges eliminates one of the contestants. The remaining bakers are then tasked with creating a confection that represents a certain theme. Whoever wins the second round, according to the judges, earns the grand prize. Chef and cookbook author Josh Elkin hosts.
