- Netflix Synopsis

Season 1
In the beginning, Kate emerged as the baker to watch, winning the first 2 Sweet Sensations Tasks. She then went into a Zumbo Test with Patricia and never quite got her footing after narrowly surviving the Heart Tower Challenge. Then, Ali and Amy were battling for Dessert of the Days (2:1 wins) as other front-runners such as Ashley (1 Dessert of the Day) and Michael (1 Dessert of the Day) were sent home. Kate would then reassert dominance as Ali and Amy were sent into the Zumbo Test, and Amy was barely eliminated. This ignited another intense rivalry, between Kate and Ali, while everyone hated Daniel, as he made several horrible gestures and remarks towards the other bakers and was extremely arrogant. Later, they would team up with Brogen (another baker that really grew) to eliminate Daniel and the first final 3 was born. The Golden Ticket was up for grabs between Kate and Ali, which Ali would win, sending Kate into another Zumbo Test with Brogen. Kate won by 1 point (32:33) and Allie and the former were now finalists. Again, Kate would narrowly win the Zumbo Test (32:33 again) making her the first winner.

Season 2
In the beginning, Catherine won 2 of the first 3 D.o.t.D.'s and found herself in constant competition with Kylie. Simon would then grow, and win the next 3 D.o.t.D.'s. This allowed all the weaker bakers, besides Jeff*, to be systematically eliminated. In the final 4, Catherine re-emerged as victorious and was the only one of the 4 to not compete in the Zumbo Test. Kylie was shockingly eliminated, instead of Jeff. Catherine would then go on to winning the Golden Ticket over Jeff, and Jeff was unfortunately eliminated after Simon beat him in the Zumbo Test. In the Grand Final, Catherine (like Season 1) won by 1 point and went down in history as the only contestant to get a 10/10 on their dessert. She also was prized the 2nd ever winner.


 * Jeff got the golden buzzer, saving him from elimination. He earned it by losing an hour of time to bake.  This sent power-baker Rachel home.
