Kids Baking Championship

Kids Baking Championship is a competitive reality baking program produced by Levity Entertainment Group for the Food Network. Each week, the children compete to make the best dish, and are judged on presentation, taste, and creativity. All nine seasons of the series have been hosted and judged by actress Valerie Bertinelli and baker Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes. In 2018, the show enjoyed its highest ratings ever that also eclipsed Duff Goldman's earlier show, Ace of Cakes, as the highest-rated series in the network's history.

Most seasons have had twelve contestants, while some have had as few as eight. In most seasons, the prizes awarded along with the title of 'Kids Baking Champion' have been $25,000 in cash and a feature in Food Network Magazine. Seasons two and three did not include the article, while in season one the winner received $10,000 and a full kitchen remodel for their parents' house instead of the $25,000; in addition, a re-creation of their winning cake was sold by Charm City Cakes.

The seventh season premiered on August 5, 2019. On November 19, 2020, it was announced that the ninth season would premiere on December 28, 2020. On November 18, 2021, it was announced that the tenth season would premiere on December 27, 2021.
