There's a new baking competition on Netflix that's been getting a lot of buzz lately, and it's called Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. It seems like the streaming giant has taken a page from the beloved Great British Bake Off, as viewers have become absolutely "obsessed" with the show. Over the course of eight episodes, ten talented bakers who have won blue ribbons at state fairs across the US will compete for a chance to win $100,000 and the coveted title of "Best In Fair."
The panel of judges for this competition includes renowned cake experts Sandra Lee, Bill Yosses, and Bryan Ford. And hosting the show is none other than Hollywood star Jason Biggs, who is most famously known for his role as Jim Levenstein in the American Pie franchise. In case you need a refresher, Jim is the lovable and awkward high school student who famously made love to a pie in one of the films' most iconic scenes.
But don't worry, the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship is not all about pie jokes. Jason is actually a big fan of the food world and jumped at the opportunity to host the show. In an interview with USA Today, he shared, "I've always wanted to host something in the food world. And let's be honest, I have a lot of experience with pies." He also joked that no pies were harmed in the making of the show and that it's safe for repeat viewing.
The show features a variety of challenges, including a classic pie challenge and more innovative tasks like using apples in a dessert and making cotton candy cupcakes. The judges are a mix of familiar faces, with Sandra Lee, Bill Yosses, and Bryan Ford lending their expertise to the competition. And the contestants are a diverse group, ranging from amateur bakers to small business owners to seasoned food competition winners.
Many viewers have noticed the similarities between Blue Ribbon Baking Championship and the Great British Bake Off, and have praised the show for filling the void while waiting for the beloved baking show to return. Some have even called it a "baby" of the Bake Off and other popular baking competitions.
But regardless of any comparisons, it's clear that Blue Ribbon Baking Championship has its own charm and is a hit among viewers. And for those who may not be familiar with Jason Biggs, he's more than just the American Pie guy. He's also appeared in Orange is the New Black, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, and even hosted a food show called Dinner and a Movie with his wife, Jenny.
So if you're in the mood for some delicious desserts, heartwarming moments, and a sprinkle of comedic relief, be sure to check out Blue Ribbon Baking Championship on Netflix. Who knows, you may even discover a new favorite baking show.
