Kids Baking Championship is a competitive reality baking program produced by Levity Entertainment Group for the Food Network. Each week, the children compete to make the best dish, and are judged on presentation, taste, and creativity. The series is hosted and judged by baker Duff Goldman, actress Valerie Bertinelli in seasons 1 through 12, and Kardea Brown in season 13.
Most seasons have had 12 contestants, while some have had as few as eight. In most seasons, the prizes awarded along with the title of "Kids Baking Champion" have been $25,000 in cash and a feature in Food Network Magazine. Seasons two and three did not include the article, while in season one the winner received $10,000 and a full kitchen remodel for their parents' house instead of the $25,000; in addition, a re-creation of their winning cake was sold by Goldman's bakery Charm City Cakes.
The seventh season premiered on August 5, 2019. On November 19, 2020, it was announced that the ninth season would premiere on December 28, 2020. On November 18, 2021, it was announced that the tenth season would premiere on December 27, 2021.
