“Kids Baking Championship” returns with an episode as adorable as it is potentially chaotic: “Animal Snackers.” Airing Monday at 8:00 PM on Food Network, this installment tasks the young bakers with creating treats for a menagerie of furry and feathered friends. Expect a generous dose of cuteness overload, punctuated by the occasional flour-bomb explosion.
Hosts Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown welcome a special guest, Rudy the mini horse, who, one assumes, will serve as inspiration rather than a taste tester. The kids must create animal-themed snacks incorporating an herb, spice, or vegetable safe for their assigned critter. Duff also provides a demonstration of airbrush techniques, because what kid doesn’t want to wield a miniature paint sprayer filled with edible food coloring?
This episode will undoubtedly highlight the contestants’ creativity and adaptability. One can only imagine the ingenuity required to create a dessert that appeals to both a picky parrot and a discerning judge. Tune in to Food Network Monday at 8:00 PM to see who rises to the challenge.
