On Monday, April 14, at 9:00 PM ET, Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship” blooms with a new episode, “Out with the Old, In with the New.” This episode isn’t just about fresh spring flavors; it’s about a fresh take on dessert itself.
Host Jesse Palmer kicks things off by performing a magic trick, turning ordinary candles into edible delights. It’s a sweet prelude to the first challenge, where the eight remaining bakers must create desserts featuring edible candles that actually light. Inspired by scented candles, the bakers will need to balance form and function, ensuring their creations are both visually appealing and structurally sound.
The main heat throws another curveball, challenging the bakers to combine two seemingly disparate desserts: lemon meringue pie and carrot cake. It’s a flavor fusion frenzy, with judges Duff Goldman, Kardea Brown, and Nancy Fuller tasked with deciding which baker manages to harmonize these distinct profiles. Will the results be a delightful symphony of spring flavors, or a culinary cacophony?
