Plot

As the name of the show suggests, each episode begins at a crime scene — a messy kitchen that was used to make a delicious dessert that has now gone missing. The teams, made up of two individuals, have to find clues and ingredients across the kitchen and figure out what was baked. Then, the teams have to recreate the dessert based on their guess. The show puts the dessert makers to the ultimate test, as they have to bank on their imagination, culinary skills and problem-solving methods. And if they come out on top, a $100,000 prize awaits them.

As per the official synopsis, 'Crime Scene Kitchen' is an all-new baking competition series with a unique twist and it is coming to FOX this summer. Hosted by actor and comedian Joel McHale, 'Crime Scene Kitchen' is a culinary guessing game in which bakers are tasked with decoding what type of dessert was made when all that’s left are the crumbs, flour trails, and a few elusive clues. They must then recreate the recipe for celebrity judges, chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp, who will determine how closely their sweet treat matches the missing dessert – and how good it tastes!
