Kids Sweets Showdown is a think-on-your-feet baking competition with a sweet $10,000 cash prize, headed by Ali Sweeney and alternating co-hosts Sharone Hakman and Harley Morenstein. In each one-hour episode, competing teams of two kids bake their way through a main showdown challenge and two frantic spur-of-the-moment "sugar rushes," where one member of each baking team must make something in an insanely short amount of time that will ultimately be judged as part of their team's overall showdown.
