In this new Food Network baking competition, the two famous bakers put their baking skills and reputation on the line. This competition isn’t just the visual. Technique, taste and design must come together to make the perfect cake.

According to Food Network, each episode will feature two rounds. First, “a Bake-Off to test their baking abilities, followed by a Cake-Off to showcase their creative imaginations and decorating expertise.” While each episode will have a specific theme, it will be curious to see if the first round features any unusual flavor combinations, specific pastries or something non-traditional.

This type of Food Network competition should excite baking fans. With other baking competitions, fans tend to cheer for one contestant to ultimate win the final prize. In this show, Duff and Buddy have their strong fan base. Fans could be cheering for their favorite personality or they could be cheering for the best cake. Sometimes that combination could be different.

The new Food Network show, Buddy vs. Duff will premiere on Sunday, March 10th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. It will run through Sunday, April 14.
