Sugar Rush is described as a “relentlessly fast-paced competition that challenges bakers to create treats that look beautiful and taste amazing – all against the clock.” Per Deadline, the Glee grad served on a judging panel alongside series host Hunter March and professional chefs Candace Nelson and Adriano Zumbo.
The episode featuring Rivera will be dedicated to the late actress, with an on-screen remembrance preceding the opening credits.
In addition to her run as Glee’s Santana, Rivera’s acting credits included Devious Maids, Step Up: High Water and The Bernie Mac Show. Additionally, she competed on Lip Sync Battle, served as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race and guest co-hosted The View.
Rivera was first reported missing on July 8, after renting a boat on California’s Lake Piru to go swimming with her son Josey. The four-year-old boy was found alone in the boat, with no sign of Rivera, and a five-day search ensued. Her body was recovered on July 13.
