What we know about the upcoming episodes of Disney's Magic Bake-Off
With the first two episodes already aired, the format for "Disney's Magic Bake-Off" is clear: Every episode, a different set of teams compete through several challenges for the title of Disney Baking Champion, and the winning cake will be used in a Tastemade video (via Disney). Each episode has a different theme upon which the challenges are based. Per Disney's press release, pastry chef Graciela Gomez will "guide the kid bakers through a series of challenges, fun games, and unexpected twists, all designed to elevate the contestants' baking abilities, techniques and creativity to new culinary heights." The final results are judged by a panel of judges who consider the creativity, taste, and visual presentation of the kid's cakes.
The premiere episode's theme was the Disney movie franchise "The Descendants," with competitors baking royal wedding cakes in honor of the latest installment in that series (via TV Insider). The second episode was all about the Disney theme parks, with the kid chefs molding their cakes to look like their favorite rides at the parks (via Foodsided). There will be 13 episodes in the first season, and some themes for the first nine episodes have been released on the show's official press website. The upcoming episode themes that have been announced are Princesses, Bunk'd, Lion King, Toy Story, and Frozen.
With such an exciting lineup of themes and so much joy surrounding the magic baking show, we cannot wait to see how the new episodes unfold.
