Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Brad Smith, each one-hour episode of THE BIG BAKE features three professional baking teams, who each have five hours to design, bake and decorate a grand-scale cake creation based on a particular theme. These bakers need to think big and bold, blowing up their designs to gigantic proportions and thinking outside the (bakery) box to impress the judges: Harry Eastwood, Eddie Jackson, and a guest judge. In the end, the most ambitious, eye-popping and delicious cake goes home with a $10,000 prize. THE BIG BAKE had its U.S. premiere on Monday, September 28, 2020 at 10pm ET/PT on Food Network. In this episode, "Jack-o'-Slantern," with Halloween just around the corner, host Brad Smith challenges the baking teams to work all the angles as they carve topsy-turvy jack-o'-lantern cakes. Judges Harry Eastwood, Eddie Jackson and Anna Olson decide which creation gets them properly pumped for pumpkins and earns the win.
