Kids Baking Championship

Valerie and Duff ask the 12 best kid bakers in the country to create carnival-themed cupcakes and incorporate carnival treats like kettle corn, frozen bananas and cotton candy.

Valerie and Duff task the 11 remaining kid bakers with creating volcano Bundt cakes that spew smoke and edible boulders. The red-hot challenge will test these amazing bakers to their fiery core!

The remaining 10 kid bakers must create a comfort food dessert imposter -- meatloaf, fried chicken, mac and cheese and more -- to keep their place at the table.

In an ode to the outrageous psychedelic colors of tie-dye, Valerie and Duff head back to the 1960s and ask the remaining nine kid bakers to "color them wow" with mind-blowing cakes.

What were desserts like when hosts Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman were kids? The remaining eight bakers must update old-school desserts like coconut cream pie and German chocolate cake into trendy "throwback" eclairs.

The remaining seven kid bakers become royal subjects to either Valerie "Queen of Pancakes" Bertinelli or Duff "King of Waffles" Goldman and must create layer cakes made from waffles or pancakes.

The remaining six kid bakers create mobile app icons out of sugar cookies and explain what each app does to the judges.

Cute little pets serve as the inspiration for incredible sweets when the last five kid bakers standing must create a dessert inspired by the animal they are paired with: guinea pig, turtle, rabbit, mini pig or silkie chicken.

The final four bakers turn into mad scientists using futuristic tools to create gastronomy-inspired desserts. Which three kids will make it to the finale?

For the finale, the last three kid bakers have to create an original superhero cake and describe their superhero's powers during tasting. Who will win this last challenge and fly off with $25,000?
