Hillsborough 8-Year-Old Baker Eliminated In Food Network TV Show

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Eight-year-old Benjamin Steinhauser's sweet journey has come to an end after he was eliminated on Food Network's "Kid Baking Championship."

Steinhauser of Hillsborough was the youngest baker ever to compete in the show. He had advanced through the first two weeks of the 10-week competition.

The third episode "Dessert Rivals", which aired Monday night, featured hosts and judges Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman who divided Steinhauser and 9 other young bakers into two teams for a good old-fashioned chocolate versus peanut butter throwdown.

Unfortunately, Steinhauser was eliminated.

If you missed Steinhauser's third episode, reruns will air on Monday, Jan. 21 at 2 p.m.

This is part of a 10-week competition to see who is the ultimate kid baking champion.
