Kids Baking Championship Season 4 Episodes Guide
Here’s peek inside what’s happening in the new Kids Baking Championship Season 4 in 2018.
Episode 1 – “Cookielicious” – SEASON PREMIERE!
The new season of Kids Baking Championship kicks off with a whole new take on everybody’s favorite: cookie cake! Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli throw a curve ball at the 12 kid bakers by asking them to make layered, tiered, stacked and beautifully decorated cookie cakes.
Episode 2 – “Pizza for Dessert”
Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman have a special challenge boxed up and ready to deliver to the 11 kid bakers. They must turn pizza into a sweet treat by creating dessert pizzas, but they must incorporate something that belongs on a real pizza into their pie.
Episode 3 – “Lemon BFFs”
It’s no secret that Valerie Bertinelli loves lemon, and lemon goes with so many other flavors. This challenge Duff Goldman and Valerie have the kid bakers celebrate lemon and its “best flavor friends” in the form of lemon bars. The result will be sour for one baker as they are sent home.
Episode 4 – “Cake and Ice Cream 2.0′”
Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli have cake and ice cream on the brain, but they want a new approach. The bakers must use ice cream and an inspiration for their cake to create a colorful drip cake. As a twist, they must also create homemade ice cream to accompany their cake. One baker will melt in this challenge.
Episode 5 – “Doughnuts Go Nuts”
Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman shake things up by asking the bakers to work in teams to create designs made of doughnuts. Each baker will individually bake and decorate two dozen mini doughnuts, and then they will need to combine them to create a unified design. One baker will fall in the hole and be eliminated.
Episode 6 – “Unicornucopia”
Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli challenge the bakers to create a unique two-layer unicorn cake that illustrates a specific emotion. The one who does not take the cake will gallop home.
Episode 7 – “Lunchbox Imposters”
With only 6 bakers left Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman test their skills with lunchbox imposters, where they must make a dessert that looks like a common lunchbox food item, and they must also create a side dish to go along with it.
Episode 8 – “Out of this World”
Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli ask the bakers to make something out of this world – an intergalactic dessert! Since astronauts eat freeze dried foods, the bakers must also use freeze dried ingredients. They must also make an edible sun to go with their galaxy dessert. One baker’s dessert will not be stellar and will be sent home.
Episode 9 – “Sand Castle Sweets”
With spring break just around the corner, Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman are dreaming about their beach vacations. They ask the remaining bakers to face the sandcastle sweets challenge and create a cereal treat sandcastle filled with two different baked goods to earn their place in the finale of Kids Baking Championship Season 4.
