Regardless of whether they’re baking shows about people who are really good at it, like
The Great British Bake-Off, or of people who should be nowhere near an oven, like in
Nailed It!, baking competitions are extremely relaxing and streaming networks are starting to take notice that people really need them right now. So it should come as no surprise that HBO Max is throwing their chef’s cap in the ring, with
Baketopia premiering on March 25.

The show is hosted and executive produced by YouTube star Rosanna Pansino, whose recipe book
The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook: Sweet Treats for the Geek in All of Us topped the New York Times bestseller list. The gist of the show is bakers have to create viral-worthy desserts to impress Pansino and her “cake council” for a chance to win $10,000.
