About Sugar Rush
Netflix's team sprint gives four pairs of professional bakers one shared enemy: the clock. Every round lets teams bank unused minutes for the final cake face-off, and watching a team gamble away its time cushion on an overambitious cupcake is the show's signature agony. Two credentialed permanent judges keep the standards real while the format stays pure game show.
The format
Four two-baker teams race through cupcake, confection, and cake rounds, with one team eliminated after each of the first two rounds and unused time banked toward the final cake. The last team standing with the better showpiece takes $10,000.
The prize
$10,000 per episode
