Spring Baking Championship season 9 airs on Food Network on Monday nights and this season is hosted by Jesse Palmer who replaces Molly Yeh from season 8.  Jesse has hosted the show in the past and based on the comments from last year, it will be a welcome change from Molly Yeh.  The judges on the show are once again Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman, and Kardea Brown.  This season will be 10 episodes long and there are twelve bakers competing this year.

The twelve bakers competing for the $25,000 prize and a feature in Food Network Magazine are:

• April Franqueza — Sapphire, NC
• Christian Velez — Hollywood, FL
• Clement Le Deore — San Diego, CA
• Jai Xiong — Savage, MN
