The “Kids Baking Championship” is back, and this week, it’s going to the dogs – in the best way possible. In the latest episode, “Doggone Good”, hosts Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown unleash a “Dog Man” themed challenge guaranteed to result in some seriously adorable (and hopefully delicious) creations. The ten remaining young bakers will be teaming up to tackle two-tiered cakes inspired by Dav Pilkey’s popular half-dog, half-police officer character, which was recently adapted into an animated movie.
The twist? One team member will be responsible for the dog head (top tier), while the other handles the human body (bottom tier). It’s a recipe for potential disaster, with mismatched proportions and clashing design aesthetics practically guaranteed. And as if that weren’t enough pressure, Goldman and Brown have thrown in another curveball: the cakes must incorporate bacon. Yes, bacon. Because apparently, even canine superheroes appreciate a bit of salty, smoky goodness.
This episode taps into the “Dog Man” craze, likely drawing in a younger audience already familiar with the books and movie. But the real appeal lies in watching these talented kids work together under pressure, attempting to execute their vision while navigating the tricky terrain of teamwork. Will their creations be barking mad or doggone delightful? Tune in to find out.
Kids Baking Championship airs Mondays at 8:00 PM on Food Network.
