Cake Wars airs on the Food Network with new episodes every Monday night at 9 p.m. ET. Check local listings for airings in your area.

Episodes featured in the marathon are mixed from previous seasons and include the following “The Simpsons,” “Power Puff Girls,” “Garfield,” “Madeline,” “Wonder Woman,” and “Captain America.” Following these episodes are the two new episodes “Rugrats” and “Space Jam.” The marathon begins at 2 p.m and carries over to Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Cake Wars host Jonathan Bennett shared a photo on his Instagram account, announcing the two, new back-to-back episodes airing tonight.

The marathon closes out Cake Wars and prepares the way for the ultimate experience in holiday cake baking: Cake Wars: Christmas. Cake Wars: Christmas returns for a new season with new, exciting episodes on Nov 14, but before then, there will be a Cake Wars: Christmas marathon on Sat. Nov. 12. The Cake Wars: Christmas marathon consists of six episodes sure to get every baker fired up for the holiday season. The marathon starts at 6 p.m., ET and some of the episodes repeat into the early morning hours of Nov. 13. The Cake Wars: Christmas episodes airing on Nov. 12, include “Ultimate Christmas Lights,” “Who’s Coming Down the Chimney?” “Santa’s New Ride,” “Holiday Song,” “Charlie Brown Celebrates,” and “Ultimate Gingerbread House.” The marathon repeats on Nov. 14, beginning at 2 p.m. ET and culminates with the 9 p.m., ET, new season of Cake Wars: Christmas with the episode: “Santa’s Makeover.”

Megan Nicole will guest judge the new episode of Cake Wars: Christmas “Santa’s Makeover.” She tweeted about the upcoming episode and her appearance on her official Twitter account.

Cake Wars is a competition based, reality game show where contestants have a limited time to complete a master cake according to the episode’s theme. Sometimes bakers pull off amazing creations and other times things go drastically wrong. Because the cakes are often out-of-this-world in decoration, height, and detail, it can be troublesome to move cakes from the bakers’ stations to the judge’s platforms. The competition is challenging because not only are bakers judged on the appearance and presentation of the cake, but also on the flavor and taste of the cake as well Sometimes cakes look amazing on the outside, but the flavors are bland. Other times the cake has a shabby outer appearance while the judges are dazzled by the delicious cake flavor. There are three judges, two regular (Ron Ben Israel and Waylynn Lucas) and a guest judge, who grade on both appearance and the cake’s taste. Each episode has rounds that are graded, and a losing contestant is eliminated until only two contestants remain and one is declared the $10,000 winner.

Cake Wars: Christmas operates the same way; however, each episode has a Christmas theme, and the grand prize is $50,000 instead of $10,000. Something that adds a unique flavor to Cake Wars is that each episode features three judges and one special guest judge. The guest judge is directly connected to the episode’s theme and the winning cake is featured at an official event sponsored or connected to the judge. For example, tonight’s new “Rugrats” episode will feature the voice of Tommy Pickles, E.G. Daily. Following the “Rugrats” episode is “Space Jam.” The guest judge for tonight’s “Space Jam” episode will be voice actor Bill Farmer, who has voiced Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, and Goofy.
