If you've ever been intrigued by the idea of people going head-to-head in a baking competition, then Spring Baking Championship is a must-watch show. Since its small screen debut in 2015, the show has captivated audiences with its intense battles over delicious baked goods.
In Season 7, which aired in 2021, Food Network took things to a whole new level by filming the competition show in a quarantine-friendly location outside their usual studios. Now, as Season 10 approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating where the next round of baking showdowns will take place. Keep reading to uncover the mystery!
Where is 'Spring Baking Championship' filmed?
For those curious to know, Season 10 of Spring Baking Championship was filmed at Food Network's studios in New Orleans. However, it's worth noting that this wasn't always the case — in the midst of tighter COVID-19 restrictions, Season 7 was shot in the summer of 2020 in a quarantine-friendly location.
According to Variety, the Jesse Palmer-hosted series, along with other seasonal Food Network shows like Halloween Baking Championship, Holiday Baking Championship, and Kids Baking Championship, all chose to film at a resort in California for their 2021 seasons. Every participant had to test negative for COVID-19 and undergo quarantine at the resort. Subsequently, the bakers were invited to the Spring Baking Tent outside to tackle their challenges.
Who are the 'Spring Baking Championship' judges?
Get ready to meet the judges at the heart of Spring Baking Championship — Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman, and Kardea Brown! Leading the charge as host is the one and only Jesse Palmer, who took on the hosting duties for Season 3 and returned as the full-time host for Season 9.
"It's been 5 years…" Jesse explained, expressing his excitement on Instagram about his return to the wildly popular competition series. "But I am SO HAPPY to announce that I’ll be returning as host of Spring Baking Championship on [Food Network] and [Discovery Plus]!!! I'm bringing my pastels and dad jokes…"
In 2021, Kardea Brown replaced longtime judge Lorraine Pascal for Season 7, bringing her wealth of Food Network experience to the panel. In addition to Spring Baking Championship, Kardea has also judged Cupcake Championship and hosts her own show, Delicious Miss Brown, where she showcases recipes passed down from her family.
Nancy Fuller, a judge since the show's inception, brings her expertise to the table in competitions like Spring Baking Championship, Clash of the Grandmas, and Holiday Baking Championship. She also stars in her own show, Farmhouse Rules, where she demonstrates cooking centered around fresh ingredients sourced from her farming community.
Similarly, Duff Goldman, a judge since Season 1, is a perfect fit for the competition as a pastry chef with a rich history on Food Network. Known for shows like Ace of Cakes and Duff Takes the Cake, Duff's passion for baking dates back to his childhood and is showcased on his YouTube channel, where he shares his cake-baking expertise with his audience.
