Rosanna Pansino – a 35 year old American Food YouTuber- will feature as a host in the new HBO Max show Baketopia and will judge alongside renowned Television personalities Donal Skehan and Timbo Sullivan. Baketopia will have contestants complete various baking challenges – with the chance of winning $10,000.
Pansino shared the announcement to her 12.8 million YouTube subscribers on March 12 – giving a glimpse of the upcoming show which is set to premiere on March 25:
Pansino started her baking YouTube channel in 2009. She then went on to launch her own online cooking show called Nerdy Nummies – which won a Shorty Award in 2013 and 5 Streamy Award nominations.
Outside of social media, Pansino is a New York Times best selling author for her published cookbooks and has her own baking line launched in collaboration with Wilton. It is safe to say that Pansino – who is also a Forbes 2017 Top Food Influencer and one of the highest paid females on YouTube – is a great choice to be Baketopia’s new host.
With a great combination of professional judges, delicious cakes and interesting challenges, this show is a certified must watch. Remember to tune in on March 25!
