NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A new batch of
eight terrifyingly-talented bakers from across the country compete
to create haunting and spooky sweets on the new season of
Halloween Baking Championship,
premiering Monday, September
25th at 9:00pm
ET/PT. Comedian John
Henson hosts, as the contestants' baking abilities and
imaginations are put to the test in two rounds of difficult
confectionary challenges, from trick-or-treat candy-filled cookies
to scream puffs (a scary take on the traditional cream
puff), and from glow-in-the-dark desserts to Jack-O-Lantern Cakes.
The one who survives the twists of the competition and whose sweets
put a spell on judges Carla
Hall, Lorraine
Pascale, and Zac
Young, will take home the grand prize of $25,000 and the title of Halloween Baking Champion!

"Audiences can expect dreadfully delicious new challenges that
make the spine-chilling spirit of the holiday come to life on the
return of Halloween Baking
Championship," said Courtney
White, SVP Programming, Scripps Networks Interactive.
"Adding to the enchantment is the wicked wit of host John Henson and the contestants' chilling
confectionary creations as the competition unfolds."
Halloween Baking
Championship contestants include: Jasmin Bell (Seattle, WA), Cliff
Butler (Austin, TX),
Tyler Davis (St. Louis, MO), Jonathan Elias (Birmingham, MI), Andrea Kratville (Sonora, CA), Dina
Melendez-Bonnet (Brooklyn,
NY), Jessica Scott
(San Diego, CA), Ray Vizcaino (San
Diego, CA).
In each of the six hour-long episodes, the contestants will need
to cause quite a fright with freaky, yet tasty, Halloween desserts. On the first episode, the
bakers must show off their decorating skills in the pre-heat
challenge as they make a dozen Halloween-themed cookies from scratch, such as
ghosts, skulls, coffins, spider webs and more. But, the twist is
that the bakers must stuff them with traditional trick-or-treat
candies. One contestant will win a special advantage in the main
heat challenge, where they need to make a sublime dessert with
ooey-gooey fruit-flavored slime that oozes out when cut. A
surprising twist in the challenge will be hard to swallow for one
contestant who will be sent to the graveyard of the competition,
never to return. The frightful fun continues all season long with
creepy challenges and bewitching baked goods that will leave
audiences howling for more!
