Jonathan Bennett hosted the competition, where four bakers face off to have their cakes featured in a special event, in addition to a $10,000 prize. Star pastry chefs Waylynn Lucas, Ron Ben-Israel and Richard Ruskell judge which cakes are worthy of headlining parties for things such as The Simpsons, The Sound of Music, DC Comics, and more. The first season of the show ran for eight episodes and later seasons of the show ran for thirteen episodes. There was also an annual Christmas-themed spin-off of the show called Cake Wars: Christmas, which made its debut the same year as Cake Wars. The show is almost identical to Cupcake Wars, except that the contestants make their creations out of regular cakes instead of cupcakes and there are two rounds instead of Cupcake Wars usual three.
