Jonathan Bennett hosts this grueling competition where four expert bakers go toe-to-toe to see whose mind-blowing cake creation will be the star of a major event, earning them the $10,000 prize. Master pastry chefs and judges Waylynn Lucas and Ron Ben-Israel determine which cakes are worthy of headlining parties for things such as The Simpsons, The Sound of Music, DC Comics and more.^[2]
