Episodes
Halloween Invasion
John Henson kicks off the competition by revealing all the skeletons in his family's closet to inspire the eight bakers as they make scary skeleton desserts. The main heat is monster madness as the bakers conjure up monster-under-the-bed creations.
Smells Like Halloween Spirit
In the pre-heat challenge, the seven bakers create spine-chilling desserts guided by spirits, such as bourbon and rum. Then they use fresh flavors and colorful decorations to bring old desserts back to life in the Day of the Dead main heat.
All Things Weird and Wonderful
The six remaining bakers team up to create desserts that pay tribute to the iconic Addams Family -- scary on the outside and sweet on the inside. During the main heat challenge, the wonderfully creepy family is honored with “dead velvet” cakes.
Creepy and Crusty Creations
Host John Henson's "mummy" issues inspire the pre-heat challenge of crepe cakes. In the main heat, the five remaining bakers use classic fall ingredients to create jack-o'-lantern pies that are half scary and half sweet.
Gravely Delicious Desserts
The remaining four bakers go digging to create terrifyingly tasty grave-robber desserts. Then for the main heat, it's a night at the cemetery as the competitors sculpt marbled tomb cakes.
A Haunting We Will Go
The three remaining bakers construct a “Ghostembouche,” or ghostly version of a croquembouche tower. Then they face the final challenge of creating a bleeding zombie cake. When the bloodbath is over, the survivor is named Halloween Baking Champion!
