The series format includes two rounds in each episode. The first round is the "PreHeat" where the contestants must bake something centered around a specific theme. The winner of the first round gets an advantage going into the next round.

The second round is the "Main Heat" where the contestants create a larger confection that often follows along the same vein as the pre-heat theme. Partway through the main heat, a twist is revealed that the bakers must incorporate into their final product. The winner of the "Main Heat" advances to the next episode while the baker with the worst dish is eliminated. The three bakers remaining will compete in the final "Main Heat" challenge.
