''The American Baking Competition'' is a reality competition television series that aired on CBS from May 29 to July 10, 2013. It was based on the BBC baking competition ''The Great British Bake Off''. The series aimed to find the best amateur baker in the United States. The series was hosted by Jeff Foxworthy and judged by Marcela Valladolid and Paul Hollywood.〔 ==Format== The show aimed to find amongst its contestants the best amateur baker in the US. Ten contestants were chosen for the first season. In each episode, the amateur bakers were given three challenges: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The three challenges took place over two days, and the bakes made by the contestants were assessed by the judges after each challenge. At the end of the 3 bakes, the judges chose a Star Baker for the week, and a contestant was also eliminated. In the finale three bakers were left and a winner was chosen from the three. * Signature bake – a bake using their own tried and tested recipe that the amateur bakers make for their family and friends. * Technical bake - a bake using the same ingredients and recipe provided by the judges. The recipe given however has missing instructions and is designed to test the knowledge and skill of the bakers. The bakers are not told beforehand what the challenge might be, and the judges do not observe the bakers at work and judge the resulting bake without knowing who made them.〔 This round is the only one where how each contestant performed is directly revealed. The contestants are given a ranking, but that ranking is not their total score for the episode. * Show-stopper bake - a bake designed to impress the judges.〔 The competition was held in one location in a specially constructed marquee. Interspersed in the show were short videos on the background of the contestants, as well as information on the history of baking and visiting various locations. The entire season series was shot over a one-month period. The winner of the competition received a $250,000 grand prize and a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The American Baking Competition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
