Julian Perrigo-Jimenez Spring Baking Championship
Folsom baker Julian Perrigo-Jimenez will compete in Season 11 of Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship.” The series premieres Monday, March 10 at 8|7c and will be available to stream on Max the same day and time. Jesse Palmer, of ABC’s “The Bachelor” fame, hosts the show.
For the first time ever, a baker’s dozen of 13 contestants will embark on a wondrous journey to make the impossible possible and win over judges Duff Goldman, Nancy Fuller and Kardea Brown. At the end of the competition, only one baker will take the cake and earn $25,000, a feature in Food Network Magazine and the title of Spring Baking Champion, the Food Network said.
In the two-hour premiere, 13 bakers enter the kitchen and are challenged to use flavor, texture and design to craft a flower-themed dessert that reflects their unique personalities. Then, the bakers must make showstopping honey pies inspired by the marvelous magic of bees that must infuse taste and presentation with a touch of magic to impress the judges.
Throughout the competition, the bakers take on enchanting challenges, including “squared off” fruit entremets celebrating the blocky, adventurous world of A Minecraft Movie, intricate butterfly-shaped napoleons, ice-cream-filled cake bombs with a glow-in-the-dark twist, three-layer cakes inspired by Marie Antoinette’s iconic gravity-defying hairdo and more.
