Join Food Network at the 2008 Bake-Off® Contest where 100 lucky finalists put their baking skills to the test. The grand prize? $1,000,000.
Four of the country's best pastry chefs square off to make cakes based on four of the most popular Disney films of all time: Pinocchio, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. The competitors' talent and skill will be put to the test, because if their work isn't perfect, everyone will know. The winning pastry chef wins ten thousand dollars and a gold medal.
In this first competition, it begins with six pastry chefs who think they have eight hours to showcase their skill and prove why they are the best of the best. Their task is to tell one story of their life in cake.
The remaining four pastry chefs have come prepared to create a cake based on an original superhero, complete with extreme elements not usually seen in cake, like mechanics and fireworks.
In the final round of Last Cake Standing, the remaining three competitors must endure the longest competition in Challenge history, a 24-hour marathon. The finalists must make a five-foot tall birthday cake for a set of sextuplets who are turning sixteen.
