Stephanie Boswell

Hosts Stephanie Boswell and Ludo Lefebvre invite ten up-and-coming American bakers to travel to the epicenter of the sweets universe, Paris, where they will vie to become this generation's great baking master. With unprecedented access to the most iconic pastry shops and experts, their Paris adventure will test their chops in pastry technique, artistry, innovation and flavor. Each week, the lowest performing pastry chef is sent home until one remaining competitor is named the next baking master.

Bakeries across America are failing! Their buildings are in shambles, their recipes are stale, they're bleeding money, and customers just aren't coming in. Fortunately, award-winning pastry chef Stephanie Boswell has the sharp eye, razor wit and loving compassion to help struggling bakery owners save their businesses. She teaches bakers how to turn their stale product lines into fresh and fast-selling goodies, and with the help of great designers, she completely transforms their unappealing shops into beautiful bakeries. When they reopen, emotions run high as old and new customers pour in and everyone's lives are sweetened for the better.
