Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Sunny Anderson, this series is an elimination competition series that features a group of talented and Easter-obsessed bakers, who create tasty and imaginative holiday masterpieces during culinary challenges. One baker is eliminated each episode, with the final three competitors duking it out for the Bunny Money prize: a golden egg filled with $25,000!

Season 1, then called EASTER BASKET CHALLENGE, featured judges Jordan Andino and Claudia Sandoval. In the premiere episode, Sunny challenges the bakers to create jelly bean-inspired pop art pastry tarts and oversized sweets worthy of inclusion in an art museum. The competitors must wow the judges, with one baker's time in the competition coming to an end. The bakers take on an Easter classic with Peeps taking center stage in a later episode, as the competitors pay tribute to the colorful marshmallow confection with an edible Easter Parade float. And in another thematic challenge, the bakers rock the runway with their tasty takes on fashion trends using Easter candy as inspiration, including a strut down a catwalk with Easter bonnets. The finale includes the crafty competitors making a three-foot tall panoramic Easter egg, with lots of cotton tails and a few Easter fails along the way, as the last baker standing takes home the grand prize and bragging rights as the Easter Basket Challenge champion. Competitors include: Jeremy Davis (Charlotte, MI); Elaine Duran (Kissimmee, FL); Harry Fiebelman (St. Louis, MO); Makana Jarman (Portland, OR); Charmaine Jones (Harlem, NY); Ora Beth Mika (Napa, CA); and Gene Shepherd (Washington, D.C.).

This series returned for its second season on Monday, February 28, 2022 at 10pm ET/PT on Food Network with a new title: SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP EASTER. Returning host Sunny Anderson welcomes the bakers into the kitchen to put their best rabbit's foot forward and serve up a fantasy Easter dessert featuring the ultimate Easter ingredient: chocolate. Then, the bakers hope they're having a good "hare" day when they imagine themselves as giant Easter Bunnies made of cake. Whether it is creating edible bird's nest desserts filled with delicious Easter eggs or an over-the-top charcuterie board filled with Easter treats instead of meats, this season features the competitors tapping into their imagination and ingenuity to make king-sized edible masterpieces. Judges Jordan Andino and Stephanie Boswell decide which baker goes home in each episode and who is one step closer to being named Easter Champion and walking away with the Golden Egg. The eight competitors in Season 2 are: Sean Dwyer (Naples, FL); Kathleen Faliskie (Leesburg, VA); Tatiana Kovalenko (Midland Park, NJ); Brittany Lombardi (Bronx, NY); Sydney Perry (Long Island, NY); Whitney Ronzello (Nacogdoches, TX); Sammy Terrana (Fort Worth, TX); and Brandon Ting (Queens, NY).

Season 3 of the series debuted on Monday, March 6, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT on Food Network. Eight Easter-obsessed bakers try to claim the throne for a chance to be crowned champion and walk away with the cash prize and the coveted Golden Easter Egg. In the premiere, host Sunny Anderson welcomes the bakers and challenges them to create a crack-able dessert that represents who they are in one sweet bite. In round two, the bakers must whip up immersive Easter egg hunt cakes. Whether it is creating edible-wearable high fashion Easter hats and modeling them on the bunny-walk or a futuristic time machine for the Easter Bunny to hop to Easter in the distant future, this season features the competitors tapping into their imagination and ingenuity to make edible masterpieces. Judges Stephanie Boswell and Zac Young decide which baker goes home in each episode and who is one step closer to being named Easter Champion and walking away with the Golden Egg. Competitors include: Kevin Futamachi (Reno, NV); Henderson Gonzalez (Miami, FL); Sammy Hammer (Orlando, FL); Timothy Hamrah (Macon, GA); Ruchit Harneja (Houston, TX); Rachel Mullen (Memphis, TN); Sasha Nary (Chicago, IL); and Josh Osamor (San Francisco, CA).
