What's the Story?
THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW JUNIORS is set in the English countryside and follows eight of the best young bakers from around Great Britain as they compete in a friendly, yet stressful baking competition. The competitors, ages 9 to 12, must face a series of challenges that involve baking pastries, biscuits, cakes, and breads. Comedian and host Harry Hill keeps up the junior bakers' energy in the kitchen with funny quips and silly questions. Across two rounds of competition, the technical challenge and the showstopper challenge, professional bakers Liam Charles and Ravneet Gill judge their creations. Each week a "Star Baker" is crowned. After weeks of competition and eliminations, the ultimate winner receives a cash prize. The junior baking competitors form positive and supportive friendships throughout the season.
