The competition involves children competing to make the best dish, and are judged on presentation, taste, and creativity. All seven seasons of the series have been hosted and judged by actress [[Valerie Bertinelli]] and baker [[Duff Goldman]] of [[Charm City Cakes]]. In 2018, the show enjoyed its highest ratings ever that also eclipsed Duff Goldman's earlier show, Ace of Cakes, as the highest rated series in the network's history.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-08|title=Everything About Kids Baking Championship - Being The Parent|url=https://www.beingtheparent.com/everything-about-kids-baking-championship/|access-date=2020-08-24|website=BeingTheParent.com|language=English}}</ref> The first season of the series featured several prizes for the winner of the competition, including $10,000, a full kitchen remodel for their parent's home, an article/recipe in ''[[Food Network Magazine]]'', and their winning cake sold as a re-creation by Charm City Cakes, along with the 'Kids Baking Champion' title. That season had a pool of eight contestants. Subsequent seasons feature only the title and a prize of $25,000 for the winner, with the ''FNM'' article/recipe restored in season four, with the contestant pool rising to ten in season two, and twelve in subsequent seasons with season five and seven being an exception with nine people.
