Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls) hosts this grueling competition, as the competing bakers' skills and imaginations are tested in two rounds of challenges, where they rush against the clock to design over-the-top cake confections.In each exhilarating episode, master pastry chefs Ron Ben-Israel (Halloween Baking Championship, Sweet Genius) and Waylynn Lucas (co-owner of Fonuts), as well as a special guest judge determine which contestant's extraordinary creation, based on taste and presentation, will take the cake to sweeten up a big soiree and be crowned the winner.

"After the sugar rush from the jaw-dropping creations on season one of Cake Wars and Cake Wars: Christmas, viewers wanted even more confectionary competition and eye-popping cake designs - and that's exactly what's in store this season!" said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Food Network.
