‘Tis the season for sweets and TV specials! This year we can watch as a Delaware chef competes on the Holiday Baking Championship.
The ever popular Food Network program has gained tons of fans over the past few years and now we can see a local cuisine expert try and take home a win.
Dru Tevis will try and take home the gold November 7th at 8 p.m. on Food Networks “Holiday Baking Championships.
According to the Cape Gazette “Tevis oversees the dessert program for SoDel Concepts. Thompson Island Brewing Company, one of two brewpubs in the company’s portfolio, will host a live watch party Nov. 7. Guests can taste the very dessert that Tevis creates for the competition.”
Tevis said competing on the show was about facing your fears head on. He also says the fierce competition has also lead to lifelong friendships with other pastry chefs from around the country.
Contestants put their baking skills to the test and are judge by many well known peers in their field.
“The panel includes Duff Goldman, who owns Charm City Cakes in Baltimore and Los Angeles; Nancy Fuller; owner of Ginsberg’s Foods, a multimillion-dollar business; and Carla Hall, a “Top Chef” alum. Jesse Palmer is the host” according to the Cape Gazette.
There are no spoilers however as Dru will not reveal if he won in the end or not.
“Each episode has two rounds. The first round is the “Preliminary Heat” where the bakers must create small pastries centered around a holiday theme; usually cookies or small cakes. The themes could be as broad as Hanukkah or New Years to something specific like creating a Christmas cookie tree or baking desserts inspired by a Christmas song” according to the show’s Wikipedia page.
The second round, or Main Heat, involves larger projects with some curveballs thrown in!
