In May 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered in June 2023. In March 2024, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on September 26, 2024.
In each episode, teams of two bakers are tasked with deducing the type of dessert that was prepared in a kitchen by inspecting the state of its tools, food remnants, and other evidence such as written clues. Each team re-creates the dessert they identified, from scratch. The judges evaluate each team's dish based primarily on accuracy in identification, while taste and execution are considered as secondary factors.
Each episode consists of two rounds. The first round is the "Safety Bake" in which the winners are exempt from the second round and safe from elimination. In the first season, the first round was called the "Dessert Round", and the winners instead received an extra hint during the second round. The second round is called the "Elimination Bake" or the "Showpiece Round" in the first season. The worst-performing team in the second round is eliminated from the competition.
Each season features twelve teams, initially divided into two groups of six. In the second season, the groupings were based on the bakers' backgrounds, pitting self-taught bakers against those who are classically trained. Each of the first six episodes of each season features only one group, alternating until three teams have been eliminated from each group. Thereafter, the six teams remaining compete simultaneously. Thus, no more than six teams compete at once.
