New York - April 24, 2019 - Wedding Cake Championship, the top-tier cake competition hosted by Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir returns on Monday, June 3rd at 10pm ET/PT with new engaged couples looking for their dream wedding cake and a new batch of elite bakers who hope their talents will deliver. The baking duos will be challenged as they whisk through difficult cake challenges and face extreme requests from real-life couples that test the limits of their skill and creativity. Judging the action week-to-week are baking extraordinaire Kimberly Bailey, Chopped's Maneet Chauhan, and Say Yes to the Dress host Randy Fenoli. The team to rise above will earn a $25,000 grand prize and the title of Wedding Cake Champion!
