Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Giada De Laurentiis, each one-hour episode of WINNER CAKE ALL features four top-notch bakers who compete in a series of elimination challenges, as they vie for the $10,000 prize. Contestants must create not only intricate cake toppers but also a massive themed cake display inspired by the biggest names in TV, sports, restaurants and more. To succeed in this competition, bakers must demonstrate their mastery of cake flavors and textures, as well as their ability to bring concepts to life in edible form. A rotating panel of judges decides the fates of the contestants each week, featuring Dan Langan of Baked By Dan fame, Los Angeles bakery owner Kimberly Bailey, pastry chef Damiano Carrara, YouTube baking celebrity Yolanda Gampp, and more experienced all-stars. They're joined by the clients -- like TLC's the Busbys, Guy Fieri, Michael Symon and former NFLer Rashad Jennings -- for whom the cakes are being created.

Food Network premiered a sneak-peek episode of WINNER CAKE ALL on Monday, December 31, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT. In the sneak peek, "Ahoy, Bakers!," Giada challenges four of America's best cake-making teams to make a cake decoration for a destination bachelorette party. After the decoration round, one team is sent home, and the three remaining teams meet their clients, a bride-to-be and her maid of honor, who request a cake for a "Bon Voyage to the Single Life"-themed bachelorette party. The bakers must create an over-the-top cake with a nautical theme and incorporate the clients' request for rose flavoring. One team wins $10,000 and gets their cake featured at the big event.

One week later -- on Monday, January 7, 2019 -- at 10pm ET/PT, Food Network debuted WINNER CAKE ALL's official series premiere. In this episode, "It's a Busby Birthday!," Giada challenges four baking teams to make a cake decoration that shows the ultimate family celebration. After one team is eliminated, the remaining three teams meet their VIP clients, the Busby family from TLC's OUTDAUGHTERED. America's favorite quintuplets need an epic cake with puppies, unicorns and rainbows to serve at their 4th birthday party, but with more than 150 guests coming, the bakers are challenged to make a gigantic cake that pleases every member of the family. One team wins $10,000 and gets their cake served at the celebration.
