Spring Baking Championship Season 5

Ten bakers celebrate spring by combining all things cute and delicious in their spring animal-themed doughnuts in round one; in the main heat, the bakers create watercolor cakes featuring iconic spring fruits and vegetables.

The remaining nine bakers compete to make blue-ribbon worthy rhubarb pies with decorative crusts; the competition gets wild and wacky in the main heat when the bakers have to make larger-than-life versions of favorite fairground treats.

In the spirit of spring romance, the eight bakers are paired up in teams to create harmonious mashups of two different desserts.

The seven bakers put a spring spin on Southern classics, starting with the challenge of turning a can of biscuits into a spring dessert flavored with lemonade, bourbon or sweet tea.

Easter is a time for colorful desserts and marshmallow treats, so the six remaining bakers have to create an ooey-gooey marshmallow dessert in a bright Easter color.

For Earth Day, the five bakers are celebrating the bounty of Mother Nature, starting with wondrous walnut desserts featuring an assortment of flower honeys. Then the competitors find themselves in a forest grove filled with wild berries, which they must use to flavor an enchanted forest cake with edible moss.

Pink is the color of spring, and rose is the perfect party wine, so the four remaining bakers are charged with making mini desserts featuring rose and cheese. Then it's off to the races in the spirit of the Kentucky Derby as the bakers make all-pink party desserts using pink ingredients.

Remaining bakers celebrate Mother's Day; competitors make baked items inspired by mai tais, mojitos or mimosas; they then use flavors inspired by Mom's favorite coffee drinks to create cakes featuring their Mother's Day gifts; the winner is chosen.
