For most people, state fairs are about fun — and, yes, funnel cake. But for bakers across the nation, it’s the chance for hometown glory, as only the upper crust walk away with a coveted blue ribbon recipe.
But who’s really best in show? In the new competition series Blue Ribbon Baking Championship, 10 award-winning pastry masters hailing from state fairs around the United States will compete against each other in the biggest blue ribbon Bake-Off yet.
Each contestant already has a blue ribbon to their name, but to win this competition, they’ll have to make like dough and rise to the top to be the best in the nation. Over eight episodes, they’ll go head-to-head in a series of challenges to clinch the title of America’s best baker — and the chance to win $100,000.
Read on for everything you need to know about Blue Ribbon Baking Championship.




All eight episodes of the baking competition will launch on Aug. 9.
Actor Jason Biggs, who’s best known for his appearances in the American Pie film franchise, will oversee the competition alongside internationally acclaimed food and lifestyle expert Sandra Lee, who won a blue ribbon early on in her legendary career.
Alongside Sandra Lee, former White House pastry chef Bill Yosses and award-winning artisan baker Bryan Ford will also serve as judges.
