One of the best new inclusion to this season was the fact that the winning pair can choose between an extra 15 minutes in the final round or a guaranteed $1500 which obviously motivates the bakers to want to perform well in all challenges. At the ‘end’ of each round, a pair of bakers go home and one pair is selected as the winner. If they save any time in round two this is used in round three, which is the big cake round, but new to this season there are extra Extra Sweet challenges that make these round even more interesting. The structure of the show is that the contestants have three hours to complete two rounds, cupcakes and confections respectively, but once they have done one round they can buzz in and use any remaining time in round two. ![]() ![]() What is fantastic about this show is the fact that it allows the expert bakers to showcase their businesses in a small video package which can only benefit them and increase awareness of their bakeries. If you haven’t seen the past seasons of Sugar Rush, essentially it is a high-pace, energetic baking show where four pairs of expert bakers take of weird and wonderful challenges, in the hope to be the last pair standing and earn $10,000. While I understand the necessity of adding something new to a season to stop the audience from becoming bored with the franchise, I don’t think these additions justified an almost “stand-alone” season instead they could have simply called it the third season and during the introduction said something like “this time the Sugar Rush kitchen is extra sweet… etc.” I don’t think the change was enough to have deviated from past seasons! Not only that but it had a new title, instead of the newest season merely being labeled season three it was actually named Sugar Rush: Extra Sweet! What makes this season extra sweet I hear you ask.? Well, it’s the inclusion of almost side challenges and a new Extra Sweet pantry filled with interesting foods the bakers have to include. The theme of Episode 1 is "surprise," and you will be.įrom cupcakes with wasabi centers to a dessert that looks just like avocado toast but is actually cake, the show delivers on the surprise portion.Having reviewed the first two seasons of Sugar Rush I was excited when it was revealed that there would be a new installment of the show. While contestants don't have to contend with any mystery ingredients like on Chopped or Iron Chef, they do have themes for each round and they are meant to be as innovative as possible. So, it's a bit like Chopped and a bit like Masterchef and any other cooking/baking show you can think of, because they are all sorta similar. For example, one team in Episode 1 finished an hour and a half early, so they had four and a half hours to do their cake vs. But, here's where the "rush" of Sugar Rush comes in - if you work more quickly in the first two rounds, you can use any leftover time in the final round. The teams get three hours for the first two rounds, and three hours for the final round. ![]() The rounds are cupcakes, confections (think cookies, candy), and cake. The winner of the final round gets $10,000. ![]() Here's how it works: Four teams of two compete in three rounds, with one team getting cut after each round. So, it's not Nailed It, because these bakers are well-established talents with a lot of skill and creativity, but you still won't be able to stop watching. Also a competition baking show, this one focuses on beating the clock while having the best dessert. On July 13, Sugar Rush hits Netflix, and the show will have you on the edge of your seat. If you already miss Nailed It because you rushed through the 12 available episodes, those same producers have something else baking for you right now.
