Glen Burnie Girl Competing On 'Kids Baking Championship' Show

GLEN BURNIE, MD — A Glen Burnie 11-year-old appeared on the eighth season of Kids Baking Championship, which debuted Jan. 6 on the Food Network. Morgan Chaffin, 11, joined 11 other kids ages 10 to 13 in the kitchen to compete for $25,000, plus a feature in Food Network Magazine.

For the premiere, hosts Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli had the pint-sized bakers prove their cake decorating abilities by creating shag texture cakes. Each baker selected a cake flavor that they had to bake from scratch before they could design and decorate.

Throughout the season, the kid contestants will show off their creativity and baking talents in tough challenges. From 3D dinosaur cookies to Neapolitans desserts to ice cream cone cupcakes and trifles, they will be tested on their baking and decorating abilities to impress the judges with the taste and presentation of their sweet treats. The bakers also will have to tackle other delectable desserts including creative fruit cakes, potato print cookies and the classic dessert imposter challenge returns as well, with a new surprising twist.

According to the Food Network, "Morgan says she is very competitive. When she’s not baking, she can be found playing guitar."
