After his own victory in the most recent season of Buddy vs. Duff, Buddy Valastro is bringing together some of the best bakers from across the country to compete in a nonstop dessert competiton. Premiering on Monday June 8 at 9|8c, Big Time Bake is a six hour showdown with the competitors baking creative cookies, decadent cupcakes and a showpiece cake all inspired by a surprise theme.

The clock never stops, even during the judging, as Buddy and the guest judges visit each baker’s station every two hours to taste and critique their sweets. The baked goods must fit a special theme, from spellbinding magical confections, to tasty treats that transport the judges to another realm, and to desserts that dive deep into the blue seas. After two hours of the competition, Buddy and the guest judges visit each baker’s station to taste the cookies, but time will still be running out so the bakers must continue working during the judging. One baker’s cookies will leave them crumbled in the competition and will be eliminated without finishing their other items. At the fourth hour of the competition the cupcakes are due, and time in the competition will run out for the bottom baker. With two bakers remaining and two hours left until the six hours are up, they must rush to finish their masterpiece cakes.
