Mary-Frances Bahun Spring Baking Championship
Mary-Frances Bahun is one of 13 bakers competing in season 11 of Food Network’s seasonal baking competition “Spring Baking Championship.” Host Jesse Palmer will transform the baking studio into The Little Shop of Spring Magic, where anything from rainbow cheesecakes to dessert deceptions that look like dinner are possible.
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.
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.
The contestants for Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship Season 11 are Mary-Frances Bahun, Paul Feybesse, Lisa Clark, Kari Cota, Corey Jamison, Jamie Li, Jon’nae Smith, Kareem Youngblood, Raveena Oberoi, Lauren Klein, Julian Perrigo-Jimenez, Stacy Flores and Priya Winsor.
