Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Josh Elkin, each 30-minute episode features three bakers facing off in two elimination challenges, as they vie for the $10,000 prize in a competition that celebrates all types of decadent and delicious desserts -- from cakes to pies and cupcakes to doughnuts. In the first round, a speedy elimination round, they must whip up a mouth-watering dessert that incorporates a mystery ingredient such as mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, cheese curds and beets. A rotating panel of judges decides which two bakers advance to the next round, where they must create a confection that embodies a special theme ranging from baseball, to beach parties, to aliens, and to amusement parks. In the end, only one baker is crowned champion, winning bragging rights and $10,000. Season 2 of SUGAR SHOWDOWN premiered on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 10pm ET/7pm PT on Cooking Channel, as Josh Elkin returns to host. In the season opener, "Viva Italian Donuts," three bakers compete in a speedy elimination round using basil and their mystery ingredient. The last two standing compete for the chance to win $10,000. Host Josh Elkin is joined by judges Zane Caplansky, Harry Eastwood and Yolanda Gampp in this Viva Italia-themed donut showdown. Other guest judges in Season 2 include: Duff Goldman, Jemma Wilson, Sharone Hakman, Jamika Pessoa, Elizabeth Chambers, Elise Strachan, Eddie Jackson, Maggie McKeown and Laura Vitale
