About Junior Bake Off

The kids' corner of the Bake Off franchise runs the tent's challenges by gentler rules: feedback is specific but kind, no critique is played for drama, and the judges are visibly rooting for every baker. The adult lineup has changed more than any other corner of the franchise, from Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood on CBBC to Harry Hill's gleefully absurd Channel 4 era. The result is the warmest show in the entire tent family.

The format

Young bakers take on scaled Bake Off style challenges each episode, with the field narrowing until a series champion is crowned. There is no cash prize; the title is the whole point.

The prize

No cash prize; the winner takes the Junior Bake Off title
