Former Olympic figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir will be hosting a new show on Food Network according to their recent social media posts.  Besides being former figure skaters Tara and Johnny are also a broadcast team which became popular after the Sochi Winter Olympics.  Tara Lipinksi posted the following message and picture on Instagram:


"We have some exciting news! We are hosting a new @foodnetwork series and I couldn’t be more excited. Anything that involves @johnnygweir and cake, I’m in. 🎂💃🕺🏻 Any guesses on what this show could be about? #foodnetwork #partnersincrime #cake 👗 @likelynyc"


Tara has been posting Instagram stories of her and Johnny on set and it looks like the show is a wedding cake competition show.  Also appearing on her Instagram stories was Randy Fenoli who is a fashion designer of wedding dresses and also host of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress.  With Randy being on set, that supports the theory that it is a wedding cake themed competition show.

This will not be Johnny Weir's first time being on Food Network.  Johnny has also appeared on Food Network before as a competitor on Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-off Season 2 and also Chopped All-Stars.


When more details about the series are announced, I will do another post or update this one.  It seems like Food Network is going all-in on cake/baking related series.
