Each week on Halloween Baking
Championship, the bakers face tough challenges from making
bite-sized monster morsels, to wickedly-decadent desserts stuffed
with trick-or-treat candies, as well as creepy clown cake-pops and
goodies of ghostly graveyards. The last three bakers who impress
the judges with their spellbinding sweets will face the ultimate
challenge in the grand finale – baking, designing and decorating a
haunted "gingerdead" house. Fans can go behind the scenes of this
spooky competition and see the creepy creations up close at

confectionary conversation on Twitter using

For even more scary sweets, on Wednesday,
October 5th at 8pm
