Bake Squad is an American Netflix Original series which premiered on August 11, 2021, for a first season of eight episodes.[1] It is presented by Christina Tosi, and features a returning group of four bakers who compete to make desserts for a different client each episode.
Format[]
The series is only lightly competitive, with no prizes or elimination-style elements.[2] Instead, the focus is on creating elaborate desserts for a per-episode client—usually for a celebration, wedding, or birthday. The bakers typically have seven hours to produce their desserts.
Bakers periodically request help from Tosi for equipment or decorative pieces, such as chocolate molds or a claw machine, to showcase enhance their creation. After the client chooses a dessert, Tosi takes a picture of the client(s) and the winning baker with an instant camera, which is placed on a bulletin board signifying the win. The episode finishes with scenes from the client's celebration.
The recurring competing bakers are:[3]
- Ashley Holt – Cake Decorator
- Christophe Rull – Pastry Chef
- Maya-Camille Broussard – Pastry Chef
- Gonzo Jimenez – Chocolatier
