Cupcake Wars is an American reality competition series that premiered on December 27, 2009, on cable television network Food Network.[1] The show, which is based on creating unique and professional-style cupcakes, was hosted by Justin Willman and later by Jonathan Bennett.[2]

The show is similar to Chopped, a cooking show aired on the same network, in that it starts with four contestants who are eliminated one-by-one during three rounds, with the winning team receiving $10,000 and the opportunity to be featured in an upcoming event. Each team consists of a chef and a sous-chef.
