In the kick-off pre-heat, eight bakers must show off their decorating skills by creating Halloween candy-filled cookies. For the main heat, it's oozy fun with sublime slime desserts: bakers can make any treat, but it must be filled with a gooey slime that leaks out when cut open!
Bewitching Treats
In the pre-heat, the seven remaining bakers must make witches' fingers and toes and create a sauce to dip them in. The witch theme goes a step further in the main heat when the bakers must create desserts that look like witches, complete with edible brooms. One baker is eliminated at the end of the round.
It's All in Your Head
For the pre-heat, the six remaining bakers must work in teams and put their minds together to create the most outrageous and delicious left brain/right brain desserts. In the main heat, the bakers face their fears by using common phobias like insects and ghosts as inspirations for desserts.
Sweet Screams
For the pre-heat, the five remaining bakers take a light, sweet and utterly harmless dessert -- the cream puff -- and head to the dark side by creating "scream puffs." Next, it's a main heat filled with frights as the bakers make scary mask desserts to spook the judges. One baker is eliminated at the end of the round.
The Candyman Cometh
In the pre-heat, the four remaining bakers attempt to make desserts that taste like their favorite candy bars. For the main heat, the bakers face death by chocolate and must create a dessert that combines chocolate with odd ingredients. One baker is eliminated and the last three move on to the finale.
Extreme Halloween
The finale has arrived! For the pre-heat Halloween party, the bakers must make a glowing edible centerpiece and three creepy treats for a spooky dessert bar. For the main heat, the bakers must create light-up jack o' lantern cakes. The winning baker carves out the title of Halloween Baking Champion and takes home $25,000!

Monsters, Monsters, Monsters

For the pre-heat, mummy's the word as the six remaining bakers are asked to make a Halloween mummy dessert using pre-made pie dough. Next, the bakers must create a candy-stuffed, wicked cake based on a Halloween icon.
Haunted Circus
Things are only getting spookier with just five bakers left in the competition, who must head to the haunted circus for the pre-heat and create a dozen scary clown cake pops. Then, the main heat moves to the freak show, as the bakers make frighteningly strange mashup desserts.
Spirits Rising
The four remaining bakers connect with the other side, baking up a tomb dessert for the pre-heat. Next, the bakers make a dessert inspired by the colorful artistry and spirit of Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, in order to move on to the Halloween Baking Championship finale.
Ginger Dead House
In the final pre-heat, the three remaining bakers must fill a haunted tree with decorated Halloween cookies. For the grand finale, the bakers have just six hours to construct a spooky "ginger dead" house. Special guest Duff Goldman stops by to put a fright into the bakers, then the most impressive house wins one baker the title of Halloween Baking Champion and $25,000!
