Crime Scene Kitchen on Showmax

Crime Scene Kitchen S2

Crime Scene Kitchen is a culinary guessing game in which bakers must decode what type of dessert was made, when all that's left are a few clues. 

Hosted by Joel McHale, Emmy-nominated Community star and host of The Soup, Crime Scene Kitchen’s debut season was nominated for Best Culinary Show at the Critics' Choice Real TV Awards. 

Each episode of this cooking competition begins at the scene of the crime: a kitchen that was just used to make an amazing, mouthwatering dessert that has since disappeared. 

Teams of two are challenged to scour the kitchen for clues and ingredients to figure out what was baked. Then they have to replicate the recipe based on their guess, for celebrity judges chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp. To take the $100,000 prize, the competing dessert makers will need to prove they have the technical know-how, imagination and problem-solving skills needed to decode and re-create incredible desserts and cakes from across the world.
