Dr. Seuss Baking Challenge is an American cooking competition television series hosted by Tamera Mowry-Housley. It premiered on Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Freevee on December 13, 2022.
Summary
Competing in teams of two, bakers and cake artists take on a series of culinary challenges inspired by iconic Dr. Seuss stories, such as The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Horton Hears a Who!. Their creations are judged by pastry chefs Clarice Lam and Joshua John Russell, based on taste, creativity, and storytelling.
The first three episodes acted as qualifiers with three teams going head to head to win spots in the next round. After that the show changes to a typical format with all teams competing in every challenge and one team being eliminated every episode. Ultimately in the finale the two remaining teams competed for the $50,000 prize.[1][2]
