Food Network is bringing back Food Network Challenge, with Ian Ziering hosting. The series pits the countrys top cake makers, bakers and sugar artists against each other in two rounds of themed battles to create edible works of art for a special event and $10,000 grand prize. Food Network is on board for six episodes. The show premieres Dec. 23.

The season premiere celebrates the film A Christmas Story and upcoming episode themes include Back to the Future, Pok mon, Monopoly and The Wizard of Oz.

"Food Network Challenge gives viewers a front row seat to the real-life phenomenon that is the world of elite competitive baking," said Courtney White, Food Network president. "The artists competing range from a 19-year-old cake wunderkind who started competing at age 14 to a seasoned cake maker who has been waiting eight years to come to Challenge for a rematch."
