Who’s Who in ‘Sugar Rush: Extra Sweet’? Meet the Netflix’s Show’s Panel of Judges

Netflix’s Sugar Rush is back with an all new season of tightly-timed baking battles they’re calling Sugar Rush: Extra Sweet. However one thing has stayed the same: Sugar Rush‘s panel of judges. Returning to host and judge Sugar Rush are Hunter March, Candace Nelson, and Adriano Zumbo. A celebrity guest judge joins the Sugar Rush panel in every episode (and Sugar Rush Season 3 Episode 2 coincidentally marks deceased Glee star Naya Rivera’s final on-camera appearance).

In Sugar Rush Season 3, the rules have changed slightly. As always, four teams of bakers are pitted against each other — and the clock — in a series of tricky challenges. They must create dazzling and delicious cupcakes, a sumptuous confectionary, and then, with whatever time they’ve banked, create an enormous cake. However Sugar Rush: Extra Sweet ups the ante on the competition. If you win one of the earlier rounds, you get the opportunity to either bank 15 extra minutes to bake your cake or the guarantee that you’ll go home with $1,500.

But who are the judges on Netflix’s Sugar Rush: Extra Sweet? Here’s everything you need to know about the folks giving their spiciest takes on Netflix’s sweetest show…
