Prepare for a pixelated pastry paradise as Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship” takes a detour into the blocky world of Minecraft! This Monday, host Jesse Palmer presents the remaining 12 bakers with a challenge that’s both sweet and squarely unconventional. The bakers’ skills will be tested as they face challenges that incorporate the blocky aesthetic and imaginative landscapes of the popular video game.
The first challenge involves crafting square fruit entremets. Each baker is assigned a specific fruit to create these geometric desserts, demanding precision and artistic flair. Then, things get even more interesting as the bakers team up to create landscape cakes inspired by “A Minecraft Movie.” One team tackles the vibrant Overworld, while the other descends into the fiery Netherworld.
The real test? Constructing an edible portal linking the two worlds. This challenge demands not only design prowess but also careful consideration of flavor pairings and structural integrity. Judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Nancy Fuller are sure to have their work cut out for them, evaluating these unique Minecraft-inspired creations. Who will emerge victorious and take home the $50,000 grand prize? Find out this Monday, March 17th at 8:00 PM ET on Food Network.
