Food Network star Molly Yeh is celebrating a new project for the network, which she claims is like “The Bachelorette” with “cake.”
The “Girl Meets Farm” star makes her debut as a judge on the series “Ultimate Baking Championship.” She appears alongside “Bachelor” franchise host Jesse Palmer, who pulls double duty as host. Her hilarious take on the show’s premise was featured in a new Instagram post.
Molly Yeh is a Judge on the New Season of ‘Ultimate Baking Championship’
Molly Yeh shared her thoughts on the new season of Food Network’s Ultimate Baking Championship, calling it especially exciting for fans of the series. She even compared the season’s energy to a well-known ABC dating show, whose host also appears alongside Yeh on the Food Network program.
She captioned a photo alongside Jesse Palmer, “This new show I’m on is basically ‘The Bachelorette.’ But instead of choosing a husband, I’m choosing an ice cream cake. Instead of a fantasy suite it’s a pantry of dragées.”
Yeh added, “Instead of Colton [Underwood], jumping a fence [like he famously did in Season 23 of the ABC series] there is no one jumping a fence. My judging debut on ‘Ultimate Baking Championship’ is Monday. The bakers on this competition were AMAZING. It was a true treat and honor to taste their creations alongside Duff Goldman and Jesse Palmer.”
Yeh’s fans were equally excited for the opportunity to watch her as a judge. “This caption is too good,” wrote one Instagram user. “So fun, go Molly!! Can’t wait to watch,” exclaimed a second viewer.
“You ooze positivity and light. Always love seeing your posts,” shared a third follower. “Cannot wait!!! You will be awesome Molly!!!!!” a fourth fan stated.
Molly Yeh Has Been a Food Network Celebrity For Nearly 8 Years
In 2018, Molly Yeh made her debut as a Food Network personality and host of the series “Girl Meets Farm.”

Throughout 15 seasons, Yeh has demonstrated hearty, midwestern fare to viewers, introducing them to recipes that honor her Jewish and Asian heritage.
Continuing to share her family traditions, the celebrity chef revealed the best cooking advice she’s ever received. It was from her mom, Jody, according to a post “11 Things You Didn’t Know About Molly Yeh.”
“You should salt every layer of the dish and not just at the end because it really brings out every flavor. Same thing with acidity, regardless of what you make it’s important to add some acidity just to balance out your flavors,” the chef revealed.
While a new season of “Girl Meets Farm” has not yet been announced, Yeh has been busy appearing Food Network competition series‘ such as Season 2 of “Wildcard Kitchen,” and “25 in 24: Last Chef Standing.”
She won “Wildcard Kitchen” by wowing the judges with a Chinese takeout dish, and winning a $14,500 prize. “25 in 24: Last Chef Standing” debuts on Sunday, April 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
The new season of “The Ultimate Baking Championship” debuts Monday, April 27 at 9 p.m. ET on Food Network.
