The Haunted Halloween Bash Challenge
In this spine-chilling signature challenge, our bakers were tasked with creating a haunted house cake that was as terrifying as it was delicious. The catch?

With only three hours on the clock, our bakers had to channel their inner Tim Burton to bring their haunted houses to life.

The Spooky Storm Technical Challenge
For their technical challenge, our bakers had to face a chilling storm – literally! They were tasked with creating three identical mini ghost cakes in just two hours. These weren't your average ghost cakes, though. They had to be perfectly matched in size, shape, and decoration, with spectral sugar ghosts** haunting their surfaces.
The Twist
Just as our bakers were getting into the swing of things, Food Network's own Ree Drummond popped in to announce a chilling twist – they had to incorporate edible glitter into their ghostly creations! Talk about adding a spark of terror!
The Winner
Despite the unexpected glitter twist, Katie managed to pull off a stunning set of ghost cakes, earning her the win for this challenge. Her vanilla and lemon cake flavors, combined with her glittering ghostly figures, had the judges swooning.
The Terrifying Showstopper
In the final challenge, our bakers had to create a hauntingly delicious showstopper that embodied the spirit of Halloween. They had to incorporate three different Halloween-themed elements** into their creation, with no size restrictions. With four hours to complete their masterpieces, our bakers set out to create the most terrifyingly tasty treats the judges had ever seen.
The Twist
Just as our bakers were putting the finishing touches on their showstoppers, host and judge Carla Hall revealed another chilling twist – they had to create a second, identical showstopper in just one hour! Talk about a spooky surprise!
The Winner
Despite the brutal twist, Jason managed to pull off a mind-blowing showstopper – a haunted carousel filled with sugar ghosts, pumpkins, and spooky trees. His chocolate and orange cake flavors, combined with his incredible attention to detail, earned him the win for this challenge and, ultimately, the title of Halloween Baking Champion!
The Results
In a shocking turn of events, Amanda was eliminated, leaving just Jason, Katie, and David to battle it out in the final episodes. With his impressive wins in both the signature and showstopper challenges, Jason was crowned the Season 11 champion of Halloween Baking Championship!
