Iowa teen Nash Roe returns to Food Network for 'Kids Baking Championship' holiday special

Nash Roe is returning to the Food Network.

The "Kids Baking Championship" alum and Clive teenager will appear on "Kids Baking Championship: Reindeer Games," a holiday special for the franchise. The special is slated to air on Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. central time.

During "Reindeer Games," four kid bakers will craft 3D reindeer antler cakes and compete for a $10,000 prize package that includes seasonal tools and equipment. The special will be hosted by "Ace of Cakes" star Duff Goldman and Kardea Brown of the network's "Delicious Miss Brown."

Roe rose to local prominence as the owner-operator of Nash's Confections, his home-based bakery. He is the creator of the Cinna-Roe, which puts a signature spin on the traditional bakeshop cinnamon roll.

On the most recent season of "Kids Baking Championship," Roe faced a bittersweet ending when he took sixth place and was eliminated after a tough cream puff cake team challenge.

During his time on the series and following the star turn, Roe made a number of public appearances including a January pop-up event featuring Cinna-Roes at the Waukee Hy-Vee that sold out in just 20 minutes.

He rebounded from the elimination by launching his own entertainment network on social media which features series and shows, including "What's In Your Kitchen" starring his younger sister London.
