Geneseo Farm Kids Turned Champion Bakers! | Winners of Baking Championship Next Gen

On this episode of Along the Rock, host Emma Watts sits down with Abigail and Kenneth Wolf, the sibling duo who took home the top prize on Baking Championship: Next Gen. From a surprise callback after a year of waiting to competing under pressure in California, their journey is packed with determination, creativity, and teamwork.

Abigail and Kenneth break down what it really takes to compete on a national baking show — including the intense casting process, life behind the scenes, and how they managed to work together as siblings without letting the pressure boil over. They also share the story behind their stunning finale cake, inspired by Midwest sunsets and family, along with their very different reactions to winning it all.

Plus, hear how the experience changed their confidence in the kitchen, strengthened their relationship, and what’s next for both of them — from pastry dreams to robotics projects.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to compete (and win) on a Food Network show, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
