Meet the newest group of bakers who will take on Valerie and Duff's fun baking challenges for a chance to win $25,000.
Brady – San Angelo, TX
Brady’s baking business is called Brady’s Bakes and Cakes. He mostly makes cakes for parties, but his grandmother is his biggest client. His secret to the best buttercream is a little bit of shortening. Outside of the kitchen, Brady competes in tennis tournaments.
Brooke – Selma, AL
Brooke plays multiple sports including basketball and softball. When she’s in the kitchen, she likes to recreate the competitions from Kids Baking Championship. She thinks her Southern desserts will get the prize, and if she wins she'll invest in a blast chiller and give the rest to charity.
Dharma – Austin, TX
Dharma loves building robots with his robotics team and baking, because they both involve creating something from scratch. If he won, he’d put most of the money away for college and spend some of it on a stand mixer.
Sophia – Nashville, TN
Sophia loves challenges and is very competitive when she does jujitsu and in the kitchen. One of her favorite treats in her house is her lemon scones. When it comes to decorations, Sophia is a perfectionist. She would use the prize money to go on a family vacation to Disney World because she loves roller coasters.
Sophie – Stansbury Park, UT
Sophie loves the color pink and has a close relationship with her pink stand mixer named Petunia. When she’s not running her own bakery, Blondies Bakery, she loves to do ballet.
Tarek – St. Louis, MO
Tarek has been baking since he was five years old. He loves to play the violin and piano. He is obsessed with building things out of Legos. He even built the KBC set out of Legos. If his parents would let him, he would bake every day. The most impressive dessert he's made was topped with a spiral of homemade macarons. If we won, he’d probably buy Lego sets.
Taylor – Roanoke, VA
Taylor loves softball, cheerleading, soccer, gymnastics and, of course, baking. She’s going to win because she’s competitive and a great baker. If she wins, she’ll buy new baking supplies and a brand-new doghouse for her little puppy.
Tori – Nashville, TN
Tori is a very competitive athlete. She plays soccer, basketball and volleyball. If she won, she would give some of the money to a cystic fibrosis foundation. She was diagnosed with the disease when she was three years old. She writes songs and even runs her own bakery. She loves to decorate and makes her own fondant.
Trevin – Washington, IN
Trevin runs his own bakery called T-Da Bakery and wants to be a pastry chef. He won a "future chefs" competition at his school. In his free time, he plays guitar, trombone and golf. Trevin has a cotton candy machine at home.
