Cake Boss: Next Great Baker

Genre: Reality, Cooking

Premise: A sweet lineup of 13 rising pastry chefs enters the kitchen in the third season of this competition series to see if they can bake their way into the heart -- and taste buds -- of the ``Cake Boss'' himself, Buddy Valastro. Over the course of 10 episodes, Buddy and his family whittle down the baker's dozen of contestants through a series of increasingly difficult challenges that test their business sense and cake artistry, until the ``Next Great Baker'' emerges and wins a prize package featuring $100,000 and a chance to work with Buddy at Carlo's Bakery. Special guest judges this season include Mario Lopez, Courtney Mazza, Lou Ferrigno, Peter Billingsley and Joey Fatone, among others.
