Blue Ribbon Baking Championship

Blue Ribbon Baking Championship

A pleasant state fair-themed baking competition that takes itself as seriously as it needs to

TLDR

Shoutout to all the people who can’t eat a single thing on this show.

What it's about

Accomplished state fair bakers compete in a series of baking challenges, to outlast the competition and earn $100,000.

The take

This competition series is a tribute to the art of artsy baking, while not being as over the top saccharine as something like a Dr. Seuss Baking Challenge. I can’t put my finger on why, but the contestants stumbling and bumbling around feels on brand for this show specifically. Perhaps the show just does a great job taking itself as seriously as it needs to: the talking heads are bubbly, along with contestants and judges’ commentary, making the show feel pleasant and focused as a result. Still, it’s a baking competition, and there’s only so much you can do with the genre. Like any dessert, it can probably be inviting in moderation.

What stands out

Ah yes, my favorite philosopher is also Taylor Swift.
