The fourth season of a fun baking show called Next Great Baker started on June 24, 2014. This season was special because bakers worked in teams of two, instead of alone.
New judges like Jacques Torres and Bobbie Lloyd joined the show. There was also a new 'final showdown' challenge. The winners even got a chance to work at Buddy's famous cake shop in Las Vegas! But some things stayed the same. There were still ten teams, just like in the first season. And the amazing $100,000 prize was still up for grabs!

This season had ten different teams, each with two bakers. The first episode aired on June 24, 2014. This was the first time since season one that there were exactly ten teams. Seasons two and three had more competitors, with 13 each.
