Greenlit: America’s Worst Bakers, Food Network

America’s Worst Bakers –  Duff Goldman and Lorraine Pascale have drafted twelve of the most disastrous bakers in the country for a grueling baking boot camp. The two stars of sweets attempt to mold these masters of cake-wrecks and colossal cookie-fails until one vastly-improved wannabe baker rises to the level of pastry perfection.  The talentless bakers will be split into two teams and, over six weeks, Duff and Lorraine will attempt to transform their team of recruits into pastry experts. Based on their performances and progress in a series of sweet and savory baking challenges, the recruits will be narrowed down each week until only two are left standing to face off in an intense bakery battle for the chance to win the $25,000 grand prize and earn bragging rights for their team leader.

The baking recruits quickly learn that boot camp is no cakewalk. On the premiere, Duff and Lorraine assess the contestants’ skills by challenging them to create desserts inspired by pictures and recipes from FoodNetwork.com. After witnessing their baking blunders, Duff and Lorraine realize they must start with the baking basics, and begin with a classic sugar cookie. Upcoming episodes feature terrifying treats for Halloween, wedding cake decorating, pie contests, and animal-shaped sweets. The worst baker from each team that crumbles under the pressure will be eliminated. The season culminates when the two remaining recruits will face off in in the ultimate bakery battle. The one that has transformed the most will go home with the $25,000 grand prize and will make their leader proud!
