THE Philippines’ largest neighborhood bakeshop, Julie’s Bakeshop, is making waves in local television.

Julie’s Bakeshop brings you Julie’s Chief Baker Students Edition, a reality TV show featuring student bakers from various culinary schools in Cebu offering baking classes.

The Premier Season featuring 13 full episodes will air this February 2014 in the cities of Cebu, Dumaguete, Davao and General Santos on SkyCable.

The show aims to highlight the skills, creativity and ingenuity of the student bakers in coming up with new recipes, and their ability to adapt with their fellow student bakers and to the competition environment. It also allows them the opportunity to learn from kitchen veterans and experience the thrill and excitement of being on a competitive reality TV show.

The Julie’s Chief Baker Show Students Edition is a first for the baking scene not just in Cebu but in the country. It aims to generate awareness for the brand among a younger and more dynamic market.

Julie’s has long been a household name among homemakers since its inception over 30 years ago; now, it strives to take a foothold of the younger generation, bringing the brand closer to the student populace and ultimately bringing Julie’s breads top of mind when students consider a healthy snack, or “baon.”

Hosted by veteran radio personality, DJ JiggyCerna, the Julie’s Chief Baker show is sure to keep audiences glued as the kneading and baking pave the way for personalities to arise in the kitchen as the competition heats up.

The thrill then goes from the kitchen to the judging table where guest judges from Cebu’s culinary scene and social circles bring their appetites and discerning palates to the Chief Baker set and give their honest and colorful opinions to the aspiring bakers. Weekly eliminations will give the competing teams a reason to always be a cut above the rest.

Weekly challenges include, but are not limited to the following recipes: breads with filling, healthy breads, fried breads, meat-filled breads, steamed breads, etc. Of course, surprise ingredients can come in anytime during the season.

Apart from being awarded as the first Julie’s Chief Baker Students Edition winner, the winning school will be awarded a kitchen showcase valued at P 200,000.

The winning team will receive P60,000 and the coach receives P 20, 000. All participants will also receive gift packs and giveaways from Julie’s Bakeshop and its partners.
