Learn about all 10 bakers competing on Halloween Baking Championship 2024

As a gamer who has spent countless hours in the virtual world of “Food Network Star,” I can confidently say that the return of the Halloween Baking Championship is like leveling up to a whole new season. The mad scientist theme, the paranormal research lab, and the tribute to The Wizard of Oz are just some of the exciting challenges that these bakers will face in their quest for the championship title.

Tonight, it’s time to enjoy pumpkin-themed snacks and unwind in front of your TV as the Food Network kicks off its fall lineup of baking competitions, beginning with the 10th season of “Halloween Baking Championship”. Tune in tonight on the Food Network.

In this upcoming season, ten talented bakers will be dabbling in concoctions that bubble and desserts shattered like broken glass, all as part of their tasks within the Chemistry Lab at Henson Labs. It seems that the tenth season is embracing a “mad scientist” motif, with the premiere featuring sweets reminiscent of the hazardous substances in the lab, combined with an abundance of sugar glass.

This season, we welcome back popular judges Carla Hall, Zac Young, and Stephanie Boswell who are responsible for determining which contestants advance to the next stage of competition. On the other hand, those who don’t meet their expectations will be eliminated in a unique way – by being “frozen” temporarily using cryogenic technology. Returning once more as our host is John Henson.

Upcoming episodes this season will feature a lively collaboration with Beetlejuice at the Paranormal Research Lab, an episode dedicated to exploring forgotten and decayed desserts, and a tribute to The Wizard of Oz in celebration of its 85th anniversary.
