VIDEO: Meet the Judges of CBS's AMERICAN BAKING COMPETITION

Ten of the nation's top bakers from across the country begin their quest to become America's Best Amateur Baker, on the new summer reality series THE AMERICAN BAKING COMPETITION, premiering Wednesday, May 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. 

In the series premiere, a baking firefighter battles his own fire in the kitchen and a Southern baker introduces judge, Paul Hollywood, to chocolate bacon. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy (@foxoutdoors) is the host. Chef and best-selling cookbook author Marcella Valladolid (@chefmarcela) and master baker and current judge on the UK format "The Great British Bakeoff" Paul Hollywood (@Hollywoodbaker) are judges.

THE AMERICAN BAKING COMPETITION, based on the hit UK format "The Great British Bake Off," features 10 passionate home bakers competing for the title of best amateur baker in America. Each week, these bakers will compete in three unique challenges – "Signature Bake," "Technical Bake" and "Showstopper Bake."  The contestant who out-bakes the rest is that week's "Star Baker," while the one whose creations fail to impress is eliminated.  The final challenge will be among the three remaining contestants, one of whom will go on to be crowned the best amateur baker in America and win the $250,000 grand prize.  The winner will also be awarded a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster to publish their own cookbook with Gallery Books.
